Magic Kingdom attendance is up

DIS News has this post about theme park attendance in North America. No surprise to anyone, attendance at Magic Kingdom at WDW is up 6%.
The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World topped the chart, with a 6 percent increase, up to 18 and a half million visitors. Universal Studios Florida had one of the largest increases in traffic, with a 14 percent jump in visitors bringing them to just over seven million.
Tokyo Disneyland was 2nd in attendance increase, followed by Disneyland. Sea World saw a decrease in attendance, probably due to recent bad publicity.  The full list is in the post.

CNN has the same report here

Unfortunately, if you look at the theme park at #7, which is Animal Kingom, they are showing a picture of Animal Kingdom LODGE! In fact, the caption says:

"7. Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida offers hotel views of animals wandering by."

... which every avid WDW fans know is false. The park doesn't provide any hotel view of the animals. The resort is outside Animal Kingdom park and in a different location.
