Maybe if Disney didn't lose $12 BILLION dollars running Disney Plus, this theme park might have more than 2 good rides.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is a zoological theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando. Owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its Experiences division, it is the largest theme park in the world, covering 580 acres. The park opened on Earth Day, April 22, 1998, and was the fourth theme park built at the resort. The park is dedicated and themed around natural environment and animal conservation, a philosophy once pioneered by Walt Disney.

09:45 The best "concrete pathways through trees" theme park :)
10:00 Only about 1,000 kilometers before I get to the next dark ride
10:15 I do like eating at Pizzafari
10:45 Fairly affordable way to get a lot of carbs
11:10 Pizzafari is one of the few quick service restaurants here that is air conditioned
11:45 Kilimanjaro Safaris ride is the longest duration ride in this park
12:15 That ride is hit and miss because the animals are unpredictable
12:45 All the best animal enclosures are all deep in the back of the park
13:10 About two and half mile walk to get to the best animal enclosures from parking lot
13:30 This park is so sparse with so little substance
