Some say the most beautiful WDW park is Animal Kingdom, some say it is the hottest and others say it is the most boring. Take a trip to the Animal Kingdom and cast your vote.  Wheel chair access is good here, but manual Wheel chair riders will find large distance between attractions and terrain that can be quite hilly in spots. Motorized chairs are recommended, or rent an ECV at the park entrance if possible. The hands you save will be your own (or your poor spouse pushing you)!

This park is a mix of mother nature and Disney at its finest. There are about 500 acres and it is the most spread out Disney Park. You will get to enjoy seeing many animals in natural (or as natural as Disney could get it) habitat. It is a park that takes patience though, since the animals are unpredictable. Wheeling through the five lands at a leisurely pace will take up at least a full day in the park, even though there are only 14 or so attractions.

The 5 villages spoke out from the Discovery Island where the Tree of Life is. The tree of life is a man-made creation and is topped with more than 103,000 leaves that actually blow in the wind. To go from one area to another (except Asia and Africa), you backtrack across a bridge to the Village, then cross another bridge. Don't miss the wildlife viewing areas along the way, or the chance to chat with cast members from the various countries. Due to the layout, there is a lot of ground to cover to see eveything.
 

Africa

Attractions:

Kilimanjaro Safari is an 20-min expeditions through 100 acres of savannah and other African habitats, unless the animals decide to stop in the middle of he road. Here you'll see plenty of wildlife as you traverse through bumpy roads, wet and dry riverbeds and a rickety old bridge. After you going through the queue, go to the exit area.  Here you can roll on an open-sided safari vehicle for a ride that really bounces you. Not all vehicles are Wheel chair accessible and the ones that are can each carry 1 Wheel chair at a time. ECV riders can transfer to a Disney Wheel chair or walk about 3 feet to a bench seat in the vehicle.

Pangani Forest Exploration Trial Pangani Forest Exploration Trail is a half mile trail through mostly wooded areas with wildlife featured here and there. There are really knowledgeable cast members who speak to you about the animals, their habits and needs. At the Research Center, where you'll see lots of animals, but it is quite cramped for Wheel chair navigation. grab the bird guide at the entrance to the aviary, so you know what you are looking at. If you go to the right after exiting the aquarium, there is an overlook viewing area at the savanna where you can see animals grazing. After you go through the gorilla area, watch for wildlife hidden in the landscape as you go over the swinging bridge to the exit.

Kali River Rapids difficult transfer easiest if you can support yourself a bit is an exciting white water raft ride down the Chakranadi River through the rainforest. 12 passenger rafts float and spin for a 6 min wild and wet ride. (remember your poncho's!) The boarding dock for Wheel chair 's can be hard to find. Take a right turn just before the Jungle Trek entrance, and go to the "Exit Only" sign and wait there.

The cast member will have you roll up to a raft that gets a special tag so it goes back to the same dock that you leave your Wheel chair at. You will have to step up 4- 5 inches to the top of the raft and then down 3 steps through an opening. The opening is about 18-20 inches wide and narrows to about a foot wide before you can sit in the structured seat with a lap belt. There are no side arm rests, but you can hold onto the circle in the center. There is a bar around the bottom of the circular center to put your feet on to keep them from getting wet. If you cannot keep your feet on the bar, bring extra socks and shoes because they will get wet!

If this is too mush maneuvering for you, you can roll onto the bridge over the ride and shoot water with high power water guns at the people already getting soaked on the ride.

Maharajah Jungle Trek is a half mile paved path through the ruins of an ancient palace. Here you come across a komodo dragon, huge Fruit Bats, a Malayan tapir and gorgeous tigers. You can then roll-through  the aviary with 52 species, and right up to the large windows for great views.

There is a Wheel chair entrance ramp but it is a barely accessible playground and a sandy dig area where. if you  are able to maneuver the sand and reach down, you too can uncover fossils.

Be prepared to be jolted and tossed around in your journey through time. Good trunk control will help keep you in your seat, but your companion may need to help a bit.

Finding Nemo The Musical is a stage show that is not to be missed. Master Puppetry and Music makes this 30 minute show one of the most enjoyable attractions in all of WDW. There is a sloped incline for entrance to the theater and then you roll downhill to the Wheel chair seating area. Manual Wheel chair users beware, but if you can make the upward and downward slopes do not miss this show.

Primeval Whirl easiest if you can support yourself a bit  is a like Coaster + Scrambler ride on drugs. It is not as extreme as many coasters, but the spins dips and curves are sure to have everyone a little dizzy and ditsy.
