The Disney parks can be busy and especially so during school breaks and holidays. Vacationing to Disney World can mean a lot of stimulation with crowds, exciting attractions, and live entertainment. When your day is full of activity and busyness it can be hard to find quiet moments for relaxation and peace. Even though there is so much to do during your day at the parks it is still important to find time for quiet and rest. If you have an upcoming vacation to Disney World then continue reading for how we like to enjoy quiet moments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Animals Throughout Discovery Island Trails
Discovery Island Trails is the epitome of Disney’s Animal Kingdom and also a great way to enjoy some quiet moments with your family. You and your family will feel like you are exploring the wilderness with these twisting and winding trails where a new animal is ready for you to discover around each corner. Discovery Island Trails will not only allow you to see animals like the white stork, Asian Small Clawed Otter, red kangaroo, and flamingo, but it will also allow you to get an up-close viewing of Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life.
Affection Section
After you board the Wildlife Express Train to Rafiki’s Planet Watch you can discover the magic of Affection Section. This petting zoo is home to lovable goats, pigs, cows, and more. Guests of all ages can enter the petting zoo area and have an up-close and hands on experience with these wonderful creatures. The Affection Section is typically not very crowded so guests can really feel like they are taking their time here and experience a quiet and calm moment of affection.
The Animation Experience At Conservation Station
After you finish petting the goats at Affection Section you can enter the nearby Conservation Station. There are quite a few things to experience in this building but one of the more calm and quiet experiences is The Animation Experience. A real Disney animator will lead you in a class where you learn how to draw a Disney character.

This class is enjoyable for guests of all ages and abilities.
