Changes

Originally called Safari Village, Discovery Island is the hub of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. From Discovery Island guests can get to all the park’s other lands except for [[Rafiki's Planet Watch]]. Animal Kingdom's icon “The Tree of Life” can be found in Discovery Island, inside which guests can find the [[It's Tough to be a Bug!]] attraction.

Home to the popular [[Kilimanjaro Safaris]], the Africa section of the park takes place in the fictional village of Harambe. According to the land's backstory, Harambe was once a colony before gaining its freedom in 1961 after a peaceful revolution. Harambe is currently home to a wildlife reserve, where tourists can see some of Africa's most interesting animals. In 2014 the Africa section of the park was expanded to house the relocated [[Festival of the Lion King]].

Rafiki's Planet Watch was originally called Conservation Station from 1998 until October 2000. It is the only land not accessible from [[Discovery Island]]. In order to get to Rafiki's Planet Watch guests must board the [[Wildlife Express Train ]] which travels between [[Africa ]] and the Planet Watch.

Perhaps the most popular land in Disney's Animal Kingdom, Asia was not complete until 1999. Set in the township of Anandpur, Asia the land is home to the popular [[Kali River Rapids]] and [[Expedition Everest]].

Pandora – The World of Avatar transports guests to the land of James Cameron's Avatar. On Pandora guests can travel on the [[Na'vi River Journey ]] attraction, or take flight on a Banshee on [[Flight of Passage]]. Pandora – The World of Avatar was constructed on the land formally occupied by [[Camp Minnie-Mickey]].
