Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida is our favorite park. I appreciate the creation of a massive garden with a creative blend of natural and artificial plants.
We were with grandchildren so our day wasn't just about the animals. We all enjoyed the Avatar ride in the Pandora section, which we headed for as soon as the park opened (called "rope drop").

Suggestion- walk past the falls to see the gorilla.
There's a petting zoo too.
If you need a break, there are shows throughout the park. My wife particularly liked the show from the lakeside arena.

And we sat down for a sesamee chicken dinner before taking the park bus to back to our unit in the Caribbean Resort. The best part of this meal getting quick service without having to plan ahead using a mobile app.

Park Notes based on our visit in 2022
Animal Kingdom is the first of the parks to open. Hours vary. For us, the hours were 8 to 8. By staying on property, you get in a half-hour early.
We did not use Genie+ at Animal Kingdom and still got Avatar Flight of Passage and the Kilimanjaro Safari without excessive wait times.
I set my Lumix camera on the recommended sports scene setting to capture quick shots of animals during the safari ride. It's the only time I carried a camera so I could have a decent optical zoom lens but I wouldn't carry a heavier camera.

We stayed at the Caribbean Beach Resort. It was a short ride to Animal Kingdom.
