Dinoland USA: Animal Kingdom’s Most Fun Rest Stop at Disney World!

To the average guest, Dinoland USA located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of the most skipped lands probably out of most of the parks.

Most only venture to ride the thrilling Dinosaur attraction, meet characters like Donald Duck, or to entertain the kids at the Boneyard.
