Happy 15th Birthday Disney's Animal Kingdom, and Happy Earth Day!
DisneyDan  Monday, April 22, 2013 1:19:49 PM
Hello everyone,

Today is the 15th anniversary of the grand opening of Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Set in the most lush and natural surroundings of any Disney Park (and probably any theme park!), Disney's Animal Kingdom is dedicated to the preservation of life, and researching new ways of saving the animal kingdom from extinction.

At it's centre and carved with over 300 animals, is the magnificent Tree of Life, which towers above the park.

From the trails, animal habitats, and of course the mind blowing Kilimanjaro Safaris, Disney's Animal Kingdom is incomparable in concept, design, and sheer beauty.

Happy 15th birthday Animal Kingdom!

By no coincidence, April 22nd is also Earth Day. Earth Day celebrates the diversity and beauty of the only known planet to support the ecosystems and life that is found here. Earth Day spreads the important message that we all need to do our bit for the planet through research and conservation, we can all hope to reach the goal of sustaining a better future for every living creature on this beautiful little blue and green world.

Happy Earth Day everyone!

The picture cavalcade below is all from Disney's Animal Kingdom, but of course matches both themes appropriately.

If you're at Disney's Animal Kingdom this week, why not check out their special combined birthday and Earth Day celebrations, 'Party for the Planet', which includes some cool character happenings! (The official LTM website has more information here.)
