RE: elephants

I thouroughly enjoyed Disney's Animal Kingdom, especially the African safari.  From the minute you get in line, you're made to feel as if you're in Africa.

As someone who's had the opportunity/privilege of living in Africa (though it has been awhile since I was there...), I can tell you there's no question that seeing animals in their natural environment is immeasurably superior.  There are some places here in the States though that do a decent job of placing animals in enclosures that are far more natural than simple cages (the San Diego Wild Animal Park here in California comes to mind).  These places definitely make for a better experience than your average zoo.
