Discovery Island Shops at Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Jack Spence
Discovery Island at the Animal Kingdom acts like The Hub at the Magic Kingdom. It ties all of the outlying lands together in a harmonious manor. But rather than depict a real geographic location, Discovery Island uses humorous, almost cartoon-like representations of animals to create a whimsical locale that does not conflict with the other … Continue reading "Discovery Island Shops at Animal Kingdom"
