The Animal Kingdom
Theme Park - Touring Guide
Younger ChildrenExplore The Oasis
and Safari Village
More times than not when the official opening time is 9:00am the Disney
people will begin to let their guests through the turnstiles as early as 45
minutes to an hour before that. While much of the park will remain closed to
the public until 9:00am, guests will have access to The Oasis and Safari
Village.
During your journey you will be afforded a glimpse of what awaits you.
Natural-habitat exhibits that are home to a wide variety of animals line
these pathways that serve as more than just sidewalks to Safari Village.
Position yourself at the roped area that corresponds with the pathway to
where your touring plans initiates. Once guests are allowed into the
remainder of the park you can start the touring plan.
