Animal Kingdom Update: New African Area (PART 1)

Welcome to our newest photo-report, Orlando Theme Park News Readers!

Today we are going to take a look around Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park to check out on the progress being done in the various areas that are currently under construction. As always, we will focus primarily on the new Festival of the Lion King theater (there's a lot of progress to be seen in that specific area), but we will also take a general look around the rest of the park. We hope you will enjoy the pictures:
