Opened:
December 1998
Origins:

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.

Updates: Asia welcomed Walt Disney World's latest thrill attraction, Expedition Everest, on April 7, 2006. As part of the expansion, a new bridge was constructed connecting Asia directly with Dinoland U.S.A.
