Asia was the last of the Animal Kingdom
lands to fully open (Flights of Wonder had
opened with the rest of the Animal Kingdom).
Asia was conceived of as the most exotic
of all the Animal Kingdom lands, and great
care was taken to create an authentic landscape
of lush rainforests and ancient ruins.
A
mythical land called Anandapur was created
to provide a mysterious setting and backdrop
for Asia. Legend has it that this mythical
village was established in 1544 as a royal
hunting reserve. The reserve has long since
been transformed into a conservation area,
but the mysterious surrounding village survives
to this day.
