I love Animal Kingdom, but it is TOTALLY a half-day park. Of course, we haven’t been since they opened Expedition:Everest, so maybe after you wait in line for 2 hours for that ride, you might have reason to stay in Animal Kingdom for more than 4.5 hours.
For years there has been a persistant rumour that there would be a land of fantasy creatures added–so you could visit unicorns, dragons and other mythical beasts. I still think that’s the coolest idea, and I like to keep the rumour alive whenever possible in hopes that the Jungian Collective Unconscious will force the WDW suits to go ahead with the project.
Today on one of my favourite Disney blogs I saw that a new feature is slated to open in the Animal Kingdom. I was excited, because the NotAZoo needs some more non-zoo attractions. So I was happy, initially, to read about Yak & Yeti.
Until I realised it’s just another restaurant/store. Come on, WDW suits! You guys are opening 10 stores and restaurants for every ride you either add or refurbish. It’s getting stupid.

We had only one day to do all the parks last year, and we HAD to do Expedition: Everest, so we rode that and did the Bug’s Life 3D movie inside the Tree of Life. After that we bolted. Of course, later, we saw a documentary on all the stuff we missed, but you’re right, we still could have done it all in under a day.
Oh, and I want to see unicorns. I can’t afford another restaurant. Let’s petition.
