Oasis
The beauty of the Oasis hits you square in the face as you enter the park, a tropical jungle of flowering plants, cooling waterfalls, and overgrown plant life thriving with a menagerie of fascinating creatures. A cool mist pervades the air amid a cacophony of chattering birds and the aroma of fragrant trees and flowers on the variety of pathways leading to hidden grottos, rushing streams, and towering vegetation.
Critters housed in replicas of their natural habitats including macaws, iguana, exotic boar, a giant anteater, sloths, pig-deer, and swan are surrounded by colossal banana trees, swaying palms, massive bamboo, and flowering orchids.
Most visitors have a tendency to dash through this area with alarming speed to quickly reach the "real" part of the park. In doing so they’re missing one of the most beautiful places in the Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park, an area that should be savored in preparation for all there is to come. At the very least, take a bit of time at the end of the day to fully explore this lovely place of tranquility.
