I got to pet a sheep and a goat! The animals were friendly and well behaved. Being able to pet the animals was the highlight of my Animal Kingdom day.

Pros:

Animal lovers, (like myself), will love being up close and personal with their favorite animals.

Cons:

The petting zoo was really the only thing we did at Rafiki’s Planet Watch. If Affection Section doesn’t seem like something you’d be into, then skip RPW.

I enjoyed being able to get up close with animals I have never gotten to pet before, and the animals were very friendly. This is also great for little kids who love animals.

Pros:

Cool animals

Cons:

Not many animals

Great stop-gap in between rides. We used it when we had random time between a Fastpass and a dining reservation but couldn’t wait in a line. A train takes you up to basically a petting zoo with a trail, vet hospital, and animation class.

Pros:

Hidden gem, only place in Disney where you can actually interact with an animal. Cast members are very friendly, and educational.

Cons:

It takes a chunk of time, because you have to take the train there and back.

I think that this is a fun way to get up close with some animals. I think this is a good filler between some of the big attractions in AK, but I don’t think this would be a priority. If there is a very long wait for the train to get up to Rafiki’s Planet Watch, I don’t recommend waiting more than twenty minutes to get up there. But if you have an animal lover in your group or if you are going up there anyway for the animation experience, definitely stop on by! It is very fun to talk to the cast members in that area because they will know all about the animals in the affection section like their name and age and who doesn’t want to pet a goat? This may be something that you can do in your hometown- go to a petting zoo- but these aren’t just any animals. They are Disney animals!

Pros:

It’s a petting zoo! You can make some new goat friends and be educated about the different animals in the area by some of the nearby cast members. Great for any animal lover and fun for the entire family.

Cons:

It is just a petting zoo. You may have something like it back in your hometown. It could take a while to get up to Rafiki’s Planet Watch if there is a long wait for the train. Limited number of different animal species to pet.

I took my 5 year old out to the affection section and she adored it! We also enjoyed the meet and greet with Rafiki and we were able to watch a procedure being done on the beak of an injured bird (can’t remember what type of bird). Very cool and very educational. Next time we hope to participate in the animation experience!

Pros:

Wasn’t crazy crowded Nice train ride Short lines for meet and greet Educational and entertaining

Cons:

Took a decent chunk of time out of the day
