Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park First look at Avatar-land and other DAK changes

That's sound very interesting.

If you want my two cents, I'd like to see areas themed after the following Disney movies:

"Aladdin" with animals from Saudi Arabia and/or other Middle Eastern countries like Arabian oryx (I smell wonderful breeding opportunities akin to Phoenix, AZ!), hyenas, jerboas, and eagles. Camel rides (and perhaps races) can be done here.

"Bambi", "Pocahontas", or "Brother Bear" with animals from America's forests like bears and deer (as much as I/others would love to see moose, Florida's muggy climate may make it difficult at best. Disney is known for having cultural representatives (I think that's what they're called...) to show how people of other cultures live: perhaps they could do the same with Native Americans.

What do you all think?

These areas would be neat to add.

I'd rather have more animal-themed areas, even if this does sound fun.

While I would rather have more animals too, it should be remembered that Disney is not a zoo, it is a theme park first, zoo second. This land replaces what was originally planned to be mythical creatures such as dragons and unicorns, so it is not taking the place of what might have been animals from South America or Australia, etc.

If you want a world class animal attractions, drive the 90 miles to Tampa for Busch Gardens and Lowry Park Zoo. But as it is DAK is a really fun place with some great immersion experiences and fun experiences.
