The Oasis sets the stage and gets you in the right mood to enjoy Animal Kingdom. It is a series of paths that all lead you to the “Tree of Life”. The pathways have lush plants on either side. You can see little streams, waterfalls, and animal exhibits as you walk the different paths.
Each animal exhibit has a sign identifying the animals. You can then search for the animal within the exhibit. Sometimes you have to look closely, but they are there!
As you exit the Oasis, you will see the “Tree of Life” before you, which means you are now on Discovery Island. The bridges to Asia and Dinoland are on your right, the bridges to Camp Minnie Mickey and Africa are on the left.
Discovery Island uses vibrant colors and whimsical animals to convey the residents’ love of animals. The people who “live” here cannot contain their fascination for animals, so animals are part of every building, sign, lamp wall, and bench.
Discovery Island is the center of the park and has a lot of stores. However, there is one “attraction”, which is a movie called “It’s Tough to be a Bug”.
To see the show, you will walk towards the Tree of Life and wind you way down into the roots. Along the way, you can admire the many animals carved with the tree. I wonder if you will be able to find your favorite animal?
Once you enter the roots, you will enter the theater. “It’s Tough to be a Bug” is a 3-D movie so you will have to wear 3-D glasses to see the show. The movie is a funny show about how difficulties of being a small creature and tells you all about the important jobs bugs perform.
“It’s Tough to be a Bug” is also employs you other senses as well, like touch and smell. In other words, watch out for the stinkbug!
