For me, the best things about DAK are:
There's so much more I love, but I'll stick with those five!
- How alive the park is. Obviously, with the inclusion of animals, but if you take in the details, the shows, the trails, the park has a sense of life to it. Pandora - World of Avatar during the day and at night are stunning, and despite it being a land from a film, the plants and the scenery come to life. Rivers of Life - the integration of light and water, alive. The shows (especially Festival of the Lion King, my favorite, and Finding Nemo: The Musical) bring energy and life that you get so immersed into. All around, I just feel the park is alive both day and night.
- The animals. As a zookeeper, I love getting my animal-fix. To me, and to many others, experiencing and seeing animals are magical and special.
- The details. Everything everyone else is saying, same. And from an animal care/zookeeping side, the integration of naturalistic enclosures and spacious exhibits is really cool to see.
- The attractions. Three of my favorite attractions and my favorite show is in this park: Expedition Everest, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Flight of Passage, and Festival of the Lion King.
- Conservation Station. This is what it's all about. Conservation of species in the wild. While I wish it wasn't so out of the way and only accessible from the train, I'm glad they did make the effort to really highlight the importance of zoological facilities.
