So today I could not remember for the life of me when Disney's Animal Kingdom opened. I was racking my brain trying to figure it out and twenty minutes later, I had finally given up and Googled it. Animal Kingdom opened on April 22, 1998 which is hilarious because my sister, LeAnn, was born August 21, 1998. So naturally I text my family on our group message and we had all actually gone to opening of this park!
Okay, so all of you have seen the Animal Kingdom logo right? Well if you have not or don't remember I will attach a picture to jog your memory..
Above is the logo and in the middle there is a dragon but if you have gone to Animal Kingdom at all in your life you will notice that there are no dragons or anything "mythical" in this park. Well, when Animal Kingdom was first thought of there was supposed to be a separate places for mythical creatures hence the dragon! This magical land was to be named "Beastly Kingdom" but due to budget cuts it never happened. Instead this space is now used for Camp Minnie-Mickey and other character meet-and-greets. I thought this was extremely interesting and I couldn't imagine a "Beastly Kingdom" at this park. I think it could have been awesome!
Let me know what you guys think!
