Expedition Everest is an attraction in [[Disney's Animal Kingdom]]
==Attraction History==
The creation of Expedition Everest actually traces its roots back to the original design of Disney's Animal Kingdom. The initial plans for the park called for real animals, dinosaurs, and mythical animals to be featured <ref name= "jack"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2010/04/expedition_everest_legend_of_t_2.html </ref>. To this end, a section of the park, known as Beastly Kingdom was set aside as the location for the mythical animals to "live". However with Animal Kingdom already over budget, Disney decided to make Beastly Kingdom part of "phase II" of the park <ref name= "jack"/>. A temporary land, Camp Minnie-Mickey was created on the land set aside for Beastly Kingdom, with the idea that the mythological animals would soon join the park<ref name= "jack"/>.
