We just got back from a 5 day trip to Orlando and I thought I'd offer my 2 cents on AK.
As we waited outside the "talking" palm tree was a riot. Very funny.
We started off with the Safari which was interesting but nothing too out of the ordinary for a zoo. The walking tour from the safari back to the main park was again interesting but nothing compelling. By then the kids (9 and 12) are getting restless and bored. They've been to the zoo so many times that they won't go anymore (National Zoo and Baltimore).
We entirely skip Asia as it's another walking tour and the Rapids are closed. Over to Dino Land which presents carnival rides plus the Dinosour attraction (we liked this one). No one was interested in much else there.
Wonder over to the Lion King show which we all agreed was the best live show we've ever seen at Dinsey.
We then decided to leave as there was really nothing else that was worth the time. Over all we spent 4 hours there.
IMHO, this park was a huge mistake. The Everest coaster they are putting in won't do much. It's just another coaster and misplaced as well.
It's not that we did not enjoy AK it's just that there's no real reason to visit. Epsecially if you have limited time in Florida. Again there's no compelling reason to stay very long.
I know people that have been there and loved it but they were huge animal people. But what's the difference between this park and a decent zoo?
