Animal Kingdom
Surrounded by the Discovery River, the Discovery Island
is the hub area of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Here you’ll
find the spectacular Tree of Life. Towering 14 stories high,
the Tree of Life is visible from throughout the park. Inside
the “Tree’s” base is the delightful 3-D show “It’s Tough
to be a Bug”. The Discovery Island Trail allows visitors
the opportunity to roam the promenades, admire the foliage
and gaze upon more exotic birds and wildlife. Look for Cotton-top tamarins, Saddle-billed storks,
Galapagos tortoises, Asian small clawed otters, South American
capybaras (the largest rodents in the world) and green-winged
macaws here.The Trail area is wheelchair accessible.You may encounter the Storyteller/Changeling here,
the duo that entertains and regales visitors with tales
about the inhabitants of the Animal Kingdom.As expected the changeling “becomes” the animal as
the storyteller tells the tale.
Dining areas in the Discovery Island include Pizzafari
and the Flame Tree Barbecue.Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, guests will
enjoy a uniquely themed dining room with bright murals,
hanging bats, possums, and parrots at the Pizzafari.The breakfast menu includes waffles, breakfast pizza,
sausage and fruit plates.At lunch and dinner, guests can feast on pizza, hot
sandwiches and salads.The Flame Tree Barbecue offers smoked chicken, ribs,
pork, beef and fresh salads as well as children’s meals.
The colorful bazaar in the Discovery Island is reminiscent
of the architecture that you’ll find in Bali.Look closely at the ornately carved details on shops
such as the “Island Mercantile” and see how many animals
you can find.Inside this shop, guests will find toys, clothes,
candy, collectibles and Animal Kingdom themed merchandise.Upscale clothing, exotic jewelry, tapestries, watch
artisans, sculptures, collectible gifts, a ring carver and
camera accessories are all carried at the “Disney Outfitters”.At the “Beastly Bazaar”, Animal Kingdom T-shirts,
hats, mugs and home decorating merchandise is found.The popular Mickey safari pith helmets, children’s
clothing, toys and gifts are found in “Creature Comforts”.
**While
here, don't overlook the Character Greeting kiosk. (Please
