Animal Kingdom Update: Discovery Island Work (PART 1)

Multiple areas of Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park continue to receive some love as the park gets ready for the opening of Pandora - The World of AVATAR. Being the largest expansion in the (relatively short) history of this theme park, it's not a surprise that Disney wants all of the themed areas of Animal Kingdom to look great, as a large number of Guests is expected to visit the park this year. Today, we will visit the park to see what's new and what we can look forward to see in the very near future.

Moving on:

The former Guest Relation kiosk is now a location where Guests can sign up for guided tours:

A FastPass+ kiosk can be found next door:
