Hi Michelle,
My family LOVES exploring Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Not only will you get to see inspiring wildlife, but you'll be immersed in different cultures from around the world (and beyond!), get to see incredible shows and performers, ride fun attractions, and if you stay through the end of the day, see the park transform after dark.
DinoLand U.S.A. is just one of six different areas within Disney's Animal Kingdom. You can easily find enough to do in this park to fill a full day or even more, and the time that Guests spend at DinoLand U.S.A. can definitely vary widely. You'll find three attractions:
Primeval Whirl,
TriceraTop Spin, and
DINOSAUR, and both Primeval Whirl and DINOSAUR have minimum height requirements (48" and 40" respectively). If you have kiddos who like to play or if anyone in your party enjoys carnival-style games, you'll love The Boneyard and Fossil Fun Games. Of course, a visit to DinoLand U.S.A. wouldn't be complete without watching
Finding Nemo - The Musical. If you hit this area first thing in the morning or use the FastPass+ service, you can likely experience all three of the attractions and explore a little bit in about an hour, but if you'd like to soak up everything and enjoy fun extras like
Donald's Dino Bash!, you could spend a few hours here.
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Michelle. I hope that you have a truly magical vacation this fall!
Missy
