As many have mentioned, the animals & rides at AK are great, but something no one has mentioned is the lush landscaping. While all the Disney parks are very nicely landscaped & meticulously maintained, they went way beyond the other parks when they built AK. We first visited when it had barely been open a year, but all of the plants & trees looked like they had been growing there for years. If you're at all interested in horticulture I highly recommend it. Here's a link to a great website with lots of pictures & details about what all went into creating Animal Kingdom.
