    Adventure

As you emerge from the heavily vegitated Oasis, you will see the Tree of Life in front of you.

Discovery Island is the central hub of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Think of it as you would the Magic Kingdom's Main Street. From the Discovery Island hub, the spokes of the wheel branch out into the other lands in the park. From left to right: Camp Minnie-Mickey, Africa, Rafiki's Planet Watch, Asia, and Dinoland USA.

Even if you're not going to eat, walk through Pizzafari so you can see the intricate paintings and animals in each room. They are themed: animals that carry their houses on their backs, those that come out at night, those that creep along, those that hang upside down...
