So you bit the bullet and planned a trip to Disney World, huh? Lucky you! You will have so much fun! But if you are anything like I was, you are stressing about what to wear to each park. Hopefully, you will peruse my entire series on Disney World outfits. In today’s post, I am detailing some Disney Animal Kingdom outfit ideas for women, men, boys, and girls. After feeling I wasn’t dressed to my best at Animal Kingdom this last time, I came up with five main collections that I think are perfect Animal Kingdom outfit categories! At the end of the post, be sure to catch my list of links for Disney outfit ideas for the other parks plus other Disney World tips!

I didn’t do enough research ahead of my trip. I felt inadequate in my “cute Disney outfit” goal when I got to Animal Kingdom. I had a super cute “Disney villains” shirt on and my girls had cute Disney princess skirts on, but neither were really the vibe for Animal Kingdom. I had ordered my Hubs a Lion King themed shirt, and he was the only one that truly fit the outfit theme for this park. I’m sharing my observations and ideas for my next visit with you so you can be better prepared!
Get Wild With Animal Print for Your Disney Animal Kingdom Outfit Ideas!
I have no idea why it never occurred to me beforehand, but Animal Kingdom is the perfect place for animal print outfits! I saw such cute animal print dresses, leopard print skirt outfits, etc. People at Animal Kingdom wear the traditional cute Disney shirts, too, and the matching family shirts. But I didn’t see as many matching Disney shirts as I saw in Magic Kingdom. I didn’t see as many Minnie ears here as in Magic Kingdom, but I saw more ears here than in Hollywood Studios.
This picture was taken in my backyard after my Disney World trip. I had the perfect Animal Kingdom outfits already in my closet. I just didn’t know it. An animal print outfit like this is perfect for Animal Kingdom. Do make sure to wear comfy sneakers.
Wear Animal Print to Animal Kingdom
Can you ever really go wrong with a t-shirt dress? This animal print t-shirt dress with a pair of cute sneakers would be perfect for Animal Kingdom! This animal print swing dress is like a t-shirt dress but with a bit more movement therefore it might be a bit more breathable on those hot Disney days. Don’t forget your bike shorts!
There is also plenty of potential for wearing this cute animal print maxi dress (with pockets!) with some comfy sandals or sneakers. And think of how cute one of your Disney shirts would be knotted above this animal print athletic skort with pocketed shorts underneath) or this A-line midi skirt with pockets? If you are more of a skort kind of gal, try this white leopard skort.
I know I said Minnie and Mickey shirts weren’t AS popular at Animal Kingdom, but I still saw plenty of animal print Minnie shirts. This animal print Minnie tank and animal print Minnie t-shirt (for youth and women) would be right on track for this park. Plus, you could wear these shirts at Magic Kingdom, too. I think this one with Minnie in an animal print skirt t-shirt is my favorite. And don’t forget the sequined animal print mouse ears!
For girls, this three pack dress set with pink animal print and two solid colors is a steal! And the sizing goes from girls size 4-16! Your mini could wear the animal print dress to animal kingdom and then have the solid colors for the other parks or travel days. The other dresses could be dressed up with mouse ears. Or you might prefer a more traditional girls animal print dress (in girls sizes 4-12).
And who says boys can’t wear animal print? There are some adorable animal print for boys pieces like this Born Wild t-shirt, this dabbing cheetah t-shirt. And I love how this simple animal print pocket t-shirt makes a big statement (comes in men’s sizes, too). This Wild about Disney t-shirt set is perfect to customize for the whole family.
If you are still looking for ideas of what to wear to Animal Kingdom in December through February at Animal Kingdom, these animal print lounge pants would be perfect with a denim jacket or warmer cardigan. They would possibly work for November, too. Since the material is a bit thicker, they may turn out too warm to wear to Disney World in October. This animal print Minnie Mouse sweatshirt will keep you warmer in the cooler months at Disney.
Safari Clothes to Wear at Disney World Animal Kingdom
Given that the Kilimanjaro Safari is one of the most popular attractions at Animal Kingdom, it only makes sense to up your safari outfit game! It’s easy and fun to put together safari clothes to wear at Disney World Animal Kingdom. A few neutrals, a big sun hat, layered pieces…done.
Safari Outfit Ideas for Animal Kingdom
For women and girls, khaki shorts, a light colored shirt, and maybe a utility vest (if it isn’t 90 gazillion degrees). I love the look of a safari utility dress. However, I am not going to recommend them for clothes for Animal Kingdom. This is mainly because many of them are chambray or a fabric similar to chambray which wrinkles super easily. If you can imagine, you will be getting on and off rides, possibly sweating your rear end off (most likely sweating your rear end off if you go between mid April to October), and getting wet on water rides. It’s best to avoid wrinkly fabrics.
Instead, I like this waffle knit dress in army green! How cute and comfy this would be dressed up with a floppy safari hat and cute sneakers. I love my floppy sun hat (pictured below) that I bought for Disney. It has a long neck piece on the back to protect your neck and ears, and it has a ponytail hole. I bought a gray one, but the tan or khaki would be so cute for Animal Kingdom!
The army green cargo style joggers get rave reviews as hiking pants, work pants, exercise pants, and all the things. I think they would be great for recreational activities, like theme park visits with its quick-dry fabric and handy pockets.
This army green military anorak jacket would a great idea for themed outfits to wear to Disney Animal Kingdom in fall or winter.
For boys, so many animal clothes abound! A little boy would love this safari squad shirt (can be made into matching family shirt set) or this cool cat t-shirt. And this boys safari shorts set runs from boys sizes 2-7.
For men, this half-and-half men’s safari button up shirt has me swooning! Since sweat and heat would make this type of fabric wrinkly, this one is better suited for early spring or fall.
This safari staff t-shirt comes in sizes for the whole family!
And if you are more about the dresses with actual animals than animal print, I have some winners selected for you! Let’s first talk about dressing the little ones. This animal safari dress is everything! And the sizes go from girls 2-13 so even tween girls can wear this one.
And this casual animal dress with its quirky placement of animals is so fun! In fact, there are several dresses from this brand that would be great girls’ outfits for Animal Kingdom! And what is not to love about this elephant dress with a safari scene bottom?
And what woman can deny a giraffe in glasses?
Cute Animal Kingdom Outfits with Dinosaurs
Animal Kingdom has its own special dinosaur section.
Dinosaur Outfit Ideas for Animal Kingdom
Dinosaur clothing for Animal Kingdom gets its own special section since there is a whole DinoLand USA section at Animal Kingdom! Dinosaurs are a big deal, folks! This girls dinosaur dress comes in girls sizes 2-7. Can I just have one of these girls dinosaur dresses with striped pockets for myself?
For boys, this two pack dinosaur henley t-shirt set would work well. For cooler days, this dinosaur hoodie would be perfect for boys. For summer days, this dinosaur boys shorts set comes in boy sizes 2-7.
This sleeveless dinosaur dress for women will work great with some bike shorts under! For cooler months, this long-sleeved dinosaur dress for women would work well.
Some men will enjoy the uniqueness of this dinosaur alphabet shirt or the quirky humor of this dinosaur on a leash! And who doesn’t love a good Daddysaurus?
Lion King Outfit Ideas for Animal Kingdom
The Lion King performance is a big attraction at Animal Kingdom. Play on that note with this Hakuna Matata shirt (for men, women, or youth), this Best Dad in the Pridelands shirt for men, fun Chill Out shirt with Rafiki shirt. I saw quite a few men in similar I’m Surrounded by Idiots t-shirts with King Scar when we were an Animal Kingdom. This Hakuna Matata set is just waiting on a family of three or more!
You can find this boys Lion King outfit set in boys sizes 2-7. For sizes 12 months to 7 in boys, you can buy this three-pack of Lion King t-shirts in several variations.
I hope you found some inspiration for Disney Animal Kingdom outfit ideas! It really is a fun park because it is so much more chill and laid back than Magic Kingdom. Yet, there are so many options for dressing in theme at Animal Kingdom. Have fun with your Animal Kingdom outfits!
Blend in with Camouflage Animal Kingdom Outfits
Given the the whole animal theme in itself, planning some camouflage outfits for Disney World Animal Kingdom is a safe way to go!
For women, this green camouflage waffle dress is the same as the army green one I linked above except in a pattern. It also comes in gray camouflage. You can’t go wrong with a simple camouflage t-shirt with denim shorts. This two-pack t-shirt combo features a camo t-shirt and a striped t-shirt. Think of all the outfit combinations you could make with these two shirts!
Black-and-white striped t-shirt dresses are always fun to pair up with camouflage accessories or animal print accessories. If it’s not sweltering hot, you can pair up a striped t-shirt dress or shirt with this lightweight camouflage scarf. Or add a pair of camouflage earrings to your stripes!
Stay comfy all day in a pair of camouflage joggers. Pair it with a simple white t-shirt and toss on a jean jacket in cooler weather. This next pair of camouflage joggers comes in gray or green, has a nice touch of zippers over the pockets, and has 90,000 reviews on Amazon! I think I will be adding a pair to my cart! And camouflage leggings can be so chic when styled right!
This camouflage Mickey Mouse t-shirt comes in sizes for the whole family if you want matching family shirts for Animal Kingdom! I do suggest staying away from black t-shirts when possible. My husband swears that he at his most miserable when he wore a black shirt I ordered him for Disney because he felt the sun was just pounding him in the black t-shirt.
This mesh camouflage jacket for women is hyped up for being lightweight and airy. For cooler days, this fleece camouflage zip up would be nice. This canvas camouflage jacket is similar to the canvas jacket from TJ Maxx I am wearing in the photo below.
For girls, this t-shirt camouflage dress comes in girl sizes 3-11. This dress is a perfect Disney Animal Kingdom outfit idea! For boys, there are so many camouflage choices. For boys, these henley camouflage t-shirts come in a two-pack in boy sizes 2T to XXL.
For men, this gray camouflage shirt has long sleeves but is the fabric is thin and non-wrinkling (making it great for packing). You can also find this shirt in a short sleeve camouflage style with several variations on the camouflage colors.
