To set the tone for the day, all guests pass through The Oasis, a lush jungle teeming with exotic wildlife, sparkling waters, and rocky crags. Then, standing on Discovery Island at the center, the Tree of Life binds the four lands of Disney’s Animal Kingdom in a circle of life (see map on page 186). A new land, based on James Cameron’s Avatar films, is currently in development (see page 191). See the next page for our favorite touring plans and a list of attractions.
