Where is Animal Kingdom located?

Are Animal Kingdom queue times live and accurate?
Yes - queue times on this page come directly from Animal Kingdom's own ride system, the same data shown on the park's official app and in-park signs. Wait times refresh every few minutes. Parks occasionally over-estimate queues by 5-15% to manage expectations, so actual walk times are sometimes shorter than posted.
