Walt Disney World Resort

All remaining amenities re-opened at the scheduled time on October 25, 2005. As wages increased, the quantity of apples was toned down to a single fruit. The Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Downtown Disney re-opened at 1:00pm. As apples were a very common crop, teachers would often be given baskets of apples by students. As a result of Hurricane Wilma, all the four theme parks, Typhoon Lagoon water park (Blizzard Beach water park already being closed for maintenance), resort amenities (Downtown Disney, the golf courses) and Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground were closed at the start of October 24, 2005. This stemmed from the fact that teachers during the 16th to 18th centuries were poorly paid, so parents would compensate the teacher by providing food. [1]. In the United States, Denmark and Sweden, an apple (polished) is a traditional gift for a teacher.

The parks were closed for each. Apples are said to increase a woman's chances of conception as well as remove birthmarks when rubbed on the skin. Hurricanes Charley and Frances came through the area in summer 2004. In some places, bobbing for apples is a traditional Halloween activity. The parks re-opened the following day under heightened security. Danish folklore says that apples wither around adulterers. The parks closed partway through the day on September 11, 2001 in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. Irish folklore claims that if an apple is peeled into one continuous ribbon and thrown behind a woman's shoulder, it will land in the shape of the future husband's initials.

The Walt Disney Company made history by closing its Florida theme parks for the first time during Hurricane Floyd in 1999, which ended up missing the area. Swiss folklore holds that William Tell courageously shot an apple from his son's head with his crossbow, defying a tyrannical ruler and bringing freedom to his people. The trade magazine "American Business" reports (as quoted by the Orlando Sentinel) these attendance figures for the four theme parks in 2004:. Apple Computer and Apple records have also adopted the apple for their companies. (Tickets do not cover admission for activities or events separately priced.). Its logo represents an apple in the constructivist style. There are a few levels of the Annual Passes including different prices for children. The name of the Russian party Yabloko means "apple".

The Annual Passes at Walt Disney World allow guests to have unlimited access to the parks during the year time period of their pass. The apple blossom is the state flower of Arkansas and Michigan. As part of the "Magic Your Way" package, Disney also created a service entitled "Disney's Magical Express" whereby guests staying on the Disney property will be able to take Disney transportation directly from the Orlando airport to their hotels, while their luggage is picked up (with participating airlines) and delivered to their rooms for them. The ancient Kazakh city of Almaty, 'Father of Apples' (Turkic language alma, apple, + ata, father), owes its name to the forests of wild apples (Malus sieversii) found naturally in the area. The Water Park Fun & More Option was known as the Magic Plus Pack Option from January 2, 2005, through October 1, 2005. Later, the princess is jostled into coughing up the piece, miraculously returning to life. "Magic Your Way" also offers options such as the Park Hopper Option ($40 per ticket, allowing a guest to visit more than one park per day), the Water Park Fun & More Option ($50 per ticket, giving a guest between 2 and 5 visits to water parks, Pleasure Island, DisneyQuest, or Disney's Wide World of Sports), and the No Expiration Option (between $10 for a two-day ticket and $135 for a ten-day ticket, without which the ticket will expire 14 days after its first use). In the European fairy tale Snow White, the titular princess is killed by choking on an apple given to her by her stepmother.

Disney's "Magic Your Way" park ticket pricing, introduced in January 2005, is intended to make guests choose to spend more days on Disney property instead of visiting competing theme parks in the area; additional days at Disney can be much less expensive than a day at another park. According to a popular legend, Isaac Newton, upon witnessing an apple fall from its tree, was inspired to conclude that a similar 'universal gravitation' attracted the moon toward the Earth as well (this legend is discussed in more detail in the article on Isaac Newton). She replied, "I think Walt would have approved.". It is often an attribute associated with Venus who is shown holding it. On opening day, Roy Disney gave an opening dedication, after which he asked Walt's widow Lillian what she thought of Walt Disney World. Thus, secular art as well made use of the apple as symbol of love and sexuality. Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Resort, and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground were also completed in time for the park's opening on October 1, 1971. At times artists would co-opt the apple, as well as other religious symbology, whether for ironic effect or as a stock element of symbolic vocabulary.

Construction of drainage canals was soon begun by the Improvement District, and Disney built the first roads and the Magic Kingdom. Another instance in Roman and Greek mythology is the story of the Pleiades. The Florida Supreme Court ruled in 1968 that the District was allowed to issue tax-exempt bonds for public projects within the district, despite the sole beneficiary being The Walt Disney Company. In ancient Greece, throwing an apple at a person's bed was an invitation for sexual intercourse. The laws forming the District and the two Cities was signed into law on May 12, 1967. Atalanta, also of Greek mythology, was distracted during a race by three golden apples thrown for that purpose by a suitor, Hippomenes. The only areas where the District had to submit to the county and state would be property taxes and elevator inspections. Another Greek mythological figure, Paris, had to give a golden apple inscribed Kallisti "To the most beautiful one", (which had come from the goddess of discord, Eris) to the most beautiful goddess, thus indirectly causing the Trojan War.

In addition to the standard powers of an incorporated city, which include tax-free bonds, the Improvement District would have total immunity from any current or future county or state land-use laws. In the Old Testament the apple was significant of the fall of man; in the New Testament it is an emblem of the redemption from that fall, and as such is also represented in pictures of the Madonna and Infant Jesus. After the film, it was explained that, for Walt Disney World to succeed, a special district would have to be formed: the Reedy Creek Improvement District with two cities inside it, the City of Bay Lake and the City of Reedy Creek (now the City of Lake Buena Vista). This also reflects the evolution of the symbol in religion. The role of EPCOT was emphasized in the film that was played, the last one recorded by Walt Disney before his death. When held in Adam's hand, the apple symbolises sin. On February 2, 1967, Roy Disney held a press conference in Winter Park, Florida. When Christ is portrayed holding an apple, he represents the Second Adam who brings life.

But have they all heard of Henry Ford, who started it all? Walt Disney World is in memory of the man who started it all, so people will know his name as long as Walt Disney World is here.". It is often used to symbolise the fall into sin, or sin itself. In his own words: "Everyone has heard of the Ford cars. Another reason for the adoption of the apple as Christian symbol is that in Latin, the words for "apple" and for "evil" are identical (malum). For the past few years that the project had been in pre-production, it had been known simply as Disney World, but Roy Disney added "Walt" to the name to make it Walt Disney World. Celtic mythology includes a story about Conle who receives an apple which feeds him for a year but also makes him irresistibly desire fairyland. From then on, his brother Roy Disney headed the project. The larynx in the human throat has been called Adam's apple because of a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit sticking in the throat of Adam.

Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966. This tradition was reflected in artistic renderings of the fall from Eden. To create the District, only the support of the landowners within was required. The influence of the antiquity was still strong, and the pagan symbology was absorbed into the new religion. The Reedy Creek Drainage District was incorporated on May 13, 1966 under Florida State Statutes Chapter 298, which gives powers including eminent domain to special Drainage Districts. Though the forbidden fruit in that account is not identified, popular European Christian tradition has held that it was an apple that Eve incited Adam to share with her. At the conference, Walt Disney explained the plans for the site, including EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, which was to be a futuristic city. This tradition is also reflected in the book of Genesis.

A press conference was soon organized for November 15. The 'fruit-bearing tree' referred to by Tacitus in his description of Norse runic divination may have been the apple, or the rowan. After most of the land had been bought, the story was leaked to the Orlando Sentinel on October 20, 1965. In Norse mythology, Iðunn was the keeper of the 'apples of immortality' which kept the Gods young. Without the transfer of these rights, Tufts could come in at any time and demand the removal of buildings to obtain minerals. One of the Greek hero Heracles' Twelve Labours was to travel to the Garden of the Hesperides and pick the golden apples off the Tree of Life growing at its center. Yet another problem was the mineral rights to the land, owned by Tufts College. Apples appear in many religious traditions, often as a mystical and forbidden fruit.

In most cases, the owners were happy to get rid of the land, being mostly swampland. A derivative of apple curd, apple milk is widely used throughout Tibet. Much of the land had been platted into five-acre (20,000 m²) lots in 1912 by the Munger Land Company and sold to investors. Apples are historically known for producing "apple milk". In addition to three huge parcels of land were many smaller parcels, referred to as "outs". The predominant phenolic phytochemicals in apples are quercetin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B2 (PMID 14558772). Two large tracts totaling $1.5 million were sold, and smaller tracts of flatlands and cattle pastures were purchased by exotic-sounding companies such as the Latin-American Development and Management Corporation and the Reedy Creek Ranch Corporation. Lee said that all apples are high in the critical phytonutrients and that the amount of phenolic compounds in the apple flesh and in the skin vary from year to year, season to season and from growing region to growing region (November/December 2004 issue of the Journal of Food Science).

In May 1965, major land transactions were being recorded a few miles southwest of Orlando in Osceola County. The researchers used red delicious apples grown in New York state to provide the extracts to study the effects of phytochemicals. The first five-acre (20,000 m²) lot was bought on October 23, 1964 by the Ayefour Corporation (a pun on Interstate 4). "Cy" Lee of Cornell University found that the apple phenolics, which are naturally occurring antioxidants found in fresh apples, can protect nerve cells from neurotoxicity induced by oxidative stress. To avoid a burst of land speculation, Disney used various dummy corporations and cooperative individuals to acquire 27,400 acres (111 km²) of land. Chang Y. Thus everything was to be done in complete secrecy. A group of chemicals in apples could protect the brain from the type of damage that triggers such neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer's and Parkinsonism.

If the news of Disney's new resort was leaked, land prices would soar. They may also help with heart disease, weight loss and controlling cholesterol. However, the decision had not been made yet; no land had been purchased. Research suggests that apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. When later asked why he chose it, he said, "the freeway routes, they bisect here.". Apples have long been considered healthy, as indicated by the proverb an apple a day keeps the doctor away. He saw the good road network, including Interstate 4 and Florida's Turnpike, with McCoy Air Force Base, soon to become Orlando International Airport, to the east, and immediately fell in love with the site. Apples are eaten with honey at the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah to symbolise a sweet new year.

The airplane he travelled in would be used by future Disney executives to travel to the Resort from the company headquarters in Burbank, California and can now be seen at the Disney-MGM Studios. Similar treats in the US are candy apples (coated in a hard shell of crystallised sugar syrup), and caramel apples, coated with cooled caramel. Walt Disney first flew over the Orlando site (one of many) on November 22, 1963. In the UK, a toffee apple is a traditional confection made by coating an apple in hot toffee and allowing it to cool. Additionally, Walt Disney disliked the businesses that had sprung up around Disneyland, and wanted control of a much larger area of land for the new project. They are also used cooked in meat dishes. Market surveys revealed that only 2% of Disneyland's visitors came from east of the Mississippi River, where 75% of the population of the United States lived. Apples are also made into apple butter and apple jelly.

In 1959, the Walt Disney Company, under the leadership of Walt Disney, began looking for land for a second resort to supplement Disneyland, which had opened in Anaheim in 1955. Puréed apples are generally known as apple sauce. Walt Disney World pastry chefs use more than 1,050 pounds of honey, 100 pounds of sugar, and 50 pounds of dark chocolate to bake gingerbread houses and other decorations for the holidays. They are often eaten baked or stewed, and they can also be dried and eaten or re-consitituted (soaked in water, alcohol or some other liquid) for later use. According to Disney's "MouseMail" email newsletter: during the Christmas season, one hundred fifty truckloads of holiday decorations adorn the Walt Disney World Resort and 300,000 yards of ribbon and bows drape over 1,500 Christmas trees. Apples are an important ingredient in many winter desserts, for example apple pie, apple crumble, apple crisp and apple cake. Another quarter has been set aside as a wilderness preserve. They make a popular lunchbox fruit as well.

Less than one-quarter of the property has been developed. Apple wine can also be made. Walt Disney World Resort covers a total of 47 square miles (122km²), about the size of San Francisco or twice the size of Manhattan. Distilled apple cider produces the spirits applejack and Calvados. Two monorail lines also operate at Walt Disney World Resort: one links the Magic Kingdom, the Contemporary and Polynesian and Grand Floridian resorts, and the Transportation and Ticket Center (with an express track in the other direction, only stopping at the TTC and the Magic Kingdom); the other links Epcot and the Transportation and Ticket Center. Apples can be canned, juiced, and optionally fermented to produce apple juice, cider, vinegar, and pectin. Taxi boats link some locations. Imported apples from New Zealand and other more temperate areas are competing with US production and increasing each year.

They are not to be confused with the Disney Cruise Line and Disney's Magical Express buses, which are run by Mears Transportation. In the United States, more than 60% of all the apples sold commercially are grown in Washington state. There is a fleet of Disney-operated buses on property, branded Disney Transport free for use by resort and park guests. France, Italy, South Africa and Chile are among the leading apple exporters. In a March 30, 2004 article in The Orlando Sentinel, Walt Disney World president Al Weiss gave some insight into how the parks are maintained:. Turkey is also a leading producer. The Walt Disney World Resort also sponsors and operates the Walt Disney World College Program, an internship program that has US college students live on-site and work for the Resort, providing much of the theme park and resort "front line" cast members. The United States is the third leading producer, accounting for 7.5% of world production.

The largest single-site employer in the United States, Walt Disney World Resort has more than three thousand job classifications. Argentina is the second leading producer, with more than 15% of the world production. Today it employs more than 57,000 cast members, spending more than $1.1 billion on payroll and $478 million on benefits each year. China produced almost half of this total. When the Magic Kingdom opened in 1971, the Walt Disney World Resort employed about 5,500 cast members. 45 million metric tons of apples were grown worldwide in 2002, with a value of about 10 billion USD. Walt Disney World paved the way for many other theme parks and attractions in the area, including SeaWorld and Universal Studios, and helped make Orlando a popular tourist destination for people from all over the world. Cultivars vary in their yield and the ultimate size of the tree, even when grown on the same rootstock.

There are two miniature golf courses: Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland. Dwarf trees will bear about 50-100 kg (3-5 bushels) of fruit per year. The five 18-hole golf courses are the Magnolia, the Palm, Lake Buena Vista, Eagle Pines, and Osprey Ridge (the last two are part of the Bonnet Creek Golf Club). A few cultivars, left unpruned, will grow to be extremely large, causing them to bear a great deal of fruit that is difficult to harvest. The Walt Disney World resort also includes five world-class golf courses. Apples are harvested using three-point ladders that are designed to fit amongst the branches. The themed resorts include:. Mature trees typically bear 100-200 kg (5-10 bushels) of apples each year.

The non-themed hotels are owned by private, non-Disney hospitality companies such as Starwood, Holiday Inn, and Hilton. The latest tool in the organic repertoire is to spray a light coating of kaolin clay, which forms a physical barrier to some pests, and also helps prevent apple sun scald. Another notable aspect is the large number of hotel resort complexes on the Walt Disney World property. Apples are difficult to grow organically, though a few orchards have done so with commercial success, using disease-resistant cultivars and the very best cultural controls. The Downtown Disney area contains many shopping, dining, and entertainment venues, including DisneyQuest (a "virtual theme park" inside a building), the House of Blues, and a permanent Cirque du Soleil show (La Nouba). For other Lepidoptera larvae which feed on apple trees, see List of Lepidoptera which feed on Malus. There are also two water parks, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach (a third, River Country, is permanently closed), as well as the Disney's Wide World of Sports athletic complex. Others include Apple maggot and codling moth.

Walt Disney World Resort features four major theme parks, each with a main attraction that serves as its symbol:. The plum curculio is the most serious insect pest. Walt Disney World Resort is the largest theme park resort in the world. Among the most serious disease problems are fireblight, a bacterial disease; and Gymnosporangium rust, apple scab, and black spot, three fungal diseases. The land within Walt Disney World Resort is part of the Reedy Creek Improvement District which allows the Disney corporation to exercise quasi-governmental powers over the area. White clover is a component of many grass seed mixes, and many bees are poisoned by insecticides while visiting the flowers on the orchard floor. Most of Walt Disney World's Central Florida land, and all of the public areas, are located in the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, located southwest of Orlando and a few miles northwest of Kissimmee. Nor should bee-attractive plants be allowed to establish in the orchard floor if insecticides are used.

In fact, the entire Walt Disney World property is outside Orlando city limits; the majority sits within southwestern Orange County, with the remainder in adjacent Osceola County to the south. Spraying for insect pests must never be done during flowering because it kills pollinators. A popular misconception is that the resort exists in Orlando, Florida. A trend in orchard management is the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), which reduces needless spraying when pests are not present, or more likely, are being controlled by natural predators. Disney, Walt Disney's older brother, who would dedicate the Magic Kingdom of Walt Disney World, and would officially proclaim "Disney World" as "Walt Disney World" in his brother's honor. Nearly all commercial orchards pursue an aggressive program of chemical sprays to maintain high fruit quality, tree health, and high yields. In the end, it was Roy O. The trees are susceptible to a number of fungal and bacterial diseases and insect pests.

The official symbol, however, can still be found in many places around the Walt Disney World Resort, as well as in recent merchandise that uses it once again. Good thinning helps even out the cycle, so that a reasonable crop can be grown every year. Walt Disney World put an end to use of both its original font and official symbol at the conclusion of Walt Disney World's 25th Anniversary Celebration in 1996. If the fruit is not thinned when the tree carries a large crop, it may produce very little flower the following year. While Disneyland has kept its original font, it has lost nearly all references to its offical symbol. Apples are prone to biennial bearing. To reinforce the updated name and image, Disney World's official symbol was to be an oversized "D" with the face of Mickey Mouse depicted as the lines of latitude and longitude of this new World. Apples (or any fruit) planted on a south facing slope in the northern hemisphere (or north facing in the southern hemisphere), will flower early and be particularly vulnerable to spring frost.

After Walt Disney's death, the title of "Disney World" was settled upon, to be presented in a modern font instead of the original Disneyland font. Home growers may not have a body of water to help, but can utilise north slopes or other geographical features to retard spring flowering. However Walt Disney did make reference to the Walt Disney World Resort as both "Disney World" and "The Disney World", with both of these versions using the same font that was used in the spelling of Disneyland. Areas of the USA, such as the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, the southern shore of Lake Ontario, and around some smaller lakes, where this cooling effect of water, combined with good, well-drained soils, has made apple growing concentrations possible in these areas. There is no official documentation showing that the Walt Disney World Resort was originally to be spelled "Disneyworld", for it was already going to be far different than "Disneyland". Growing apples near a body of water gives an advantage by slowing spring warm up, which retards flowering until frost is less likely. Walt Disney focused most of his attention on the "Florida Project" both before and after his participation at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, but died in December of 1966, almost five years short of seeing his vision realized. If the pistil has turned black, the flower is ruined and will not produce fruit.

Much later, concepts from the original idea of EPCOT would be integrated into the community of Celebration, Florida. Frost damage can be evaluated 24 hours after the frost. EPCOT became EPCOT Center, the second theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort. If the frost is not too severe, the tree can be wetted with water spray before the morning sun hits the flowers, and it may save them. However plans for EPCOT would drastically change after Walt Disney's death. It is best to plant apples on a slope for air drainage, but not on a south facing slope (in the northern hemisphere) as this will encourage early flowering and increase susceptibility to frost. EPCOT was also known as Progress City. A common problem is a late frost that destroys the delicate outer structures of the flower.

There was also to be of course various housing for guests to the resort, along with an industrial park, main resort terminal, and a futuristic airport, but most importantly was Walt Disney's "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow", or EPCOT as it is better known with respect as an acronym. It generally requires multiple bee visits to deliver sufficient grains of pollen to accomplish complete pollination. Walt Disney originally envisioned what would eventually become the Walt Disney World Resort as a resort that would have a Magic Kingdom somewhat larger and more elaborate than the Magic Kingdom of Disneyland. Inadequate pollination can result from either a lack of pollinators or pollenizers, or from poor pollinating weather at flowering time. . Apples having less than 3 seeds will usually not mature and will drop from the trees in the early summer. The 47-square-mile (122 km²) property is the largest theme park resort in the world. Well pollinated apples are the best quality, and will have 7 to 10 seeds.

In addition to these four main theme parks, the resort contains two water parks, six golf courses, a sports complex, an auto race track, more than twenty resort hotels, and numerous shopping, dining, and entertainment offerings. Symptoms of inadequate pollination are small and misshapen apples, slowness to ripen, and low seed count. It opened on October 1, 1971 with the Magic Kingdom, and has since added Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Bumble bee queens are sometimes present in orchards, but not usually in enough quantity to be significant pollinators. Walt Disney World Resort is a theme park destination resort owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts segment of The Walt Disney Company. Some wild bees such as carpenter bees and other solitary bees may help. The Walt Disney World Resort, often referred to as simply Walt Disney World or Disney World, is located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. Home growers may find these more acceptable in suburban locations because they do not sting.

Disney's Animal Kingdom, 7.82 million visitors. Orchard mason bees are also used as supplemental pollinators in commercial orchards. Disney-MGM Studios, 8.26 million visitors. Honeybee hives are most commonly used, and arrangements may be made with a commercial beekeeper who supplies hives for a fee. Epcot, 9.4 million visitors. During the flowering each season, apple growers usually provide pollinators to carry the pollen. Magic Kingdom, 15.17 million visitors. Home growers with a single tree, and no other cultivars in the neighbourhood can do the same on a smaller scale.

This is for Florida Residents only and requires proof of residency. Growers with old orchard blocks of single cultivars sometimes provide bouquets of crab apple blossoms in drums or pails in the orchard for pollenizers. You do not get complimentary parking. Quality nurseries have pollenizer compatibility lists. Florida Resident Epcot After 4 Annual Pass - This allows guests unlimited access to Epcot after 4pm. Some cultivars produce very little pollen, or the pollen is sterile, so these are not good pollenizers. This is for Florida Residents only and requires proof of residency. Orchard blocks may alternate rows of compatible cultivars, or may have periodic crab apple trees, or grafted-on limbs of crab apple.

You do not get complimentary parking. Before planting, it is important to arrange for pollenizers, cultivars of apple or crab apple that provide plentiful, viable and compatible pollen. The ticket has black out dates that are around Christmas/New Years, Easter, most of June to August and Thanksgiving. Pollination management is an important component of apple culture. Florida Resident Seasonal Pass - This allows guests to have limited access to The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Apples are self-incompatible and must be cross-pollinated to develop fruit. You also get complimentary parking. Apples do require good drainage, and heavy soils or flat land should be tilled to make certain that the root systems are never in saturated soil.

Annual Passport - This allows guests to have unlimited access to The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, and Animal Kingdom. They do require some protection from the wind and should not be planted in low areas that are prone to late spring frosts. You also get complimentary parking. Apples are relatively indifferent to soil conditions and will grow in a wide range of pH values and fertility levels. Premium Annual Passport - This allows guests to have unlimited access to The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, Pleasure Island, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, DisneyQuest, and Disney's Wide World of Sports complex. Good training of limbs and careful nipping of buds growing in the wrong places, are extremely important during this time, to build a good scaffold that will later support a fruit load. DINOSAUR (formerly named Countdown to Extinction). After the small tree is planted in the orchard, it must grow for 3-5 years (semi-dwarf) or 4-10 years (standard trees) before it will bear sizable amounts of fruit.

Expedition Everest. Some trees are produced with a dwarfing "interstem" between a standard rootstock and the tree, resulting in two grafts. Kali River Rapids. Full dwarf trees are often supported of posts or trellises and planted in high density orchards which are much simpler to culture and greatly increase productivity per unit of land. Primeval Whirl. Dwarf rootstocks are generally more susceptible to damage from wind and cold. Kilimanjaro Safaris. While many rootstocks are available to commercial grower, those sold to homeowners who want just a few trees are usually one of two cultivars: a standard seedling rootstock that gives a full-size tree, or a semi-dwarf rootstock that produces a somewhat smaller tree.

Disney's Animal Kingdom
