We had a breakfast reservation at Tusker House but we decided to skip it and arrived at Animal Kingdom for opening instead. We arrived just after rope drop
and once again, we went directly to Asia and Expedition Everest. We rode it once then grabbed fastpasses for later. From there we were heading to the Kilimanjaro Safaris, but when we saw that there wasn't a line for Kali River Rapids, we decided to ride that first. Of course we got soaked but we had a lot of fun! We walked into Africa and ran into Baloo and King Louie
and then lined up for Kilimanjaro Safaris as there wasn't a wait.
Baby rhino!
We loved the safari! From there we caught the train to Rafiki's Planet Watch. The kids weren't really interested in the Conversation Station so we spent a little time in the Affection Section petting zoo
then caught the train back to Africa and walked to Dinoland USA. On the way we met DeVine
and admired the Tree of Life
When we got to Dinoland we went directly to Dinosaur and got fastpasses. The kids wanted to line up as well but I wanted to go to the first showing of Finding Nemo - the Musical. A cast member heard us discussing what to do and she told us not to miss Finding Nemo. So we grabbed some luch at Restaurantsaurus and went to line up for Nemo. We couldn't get seats together so were split up, but we all enjoyed the show. After the show we walked back over to Expedition Everest and used our fastpasses. From there we went back to ride Dinosaur which was a lot of fun for most of us except for Sammy who was terrified and spent the whole ride hiding his face in my lap! Then we checked out the rest of Dinoland.
Unfortunately the fastpass machines for Primeval Whirl weren't operating so we had to line up for that. The line was long and moved very slowly. I hated this ride! Afterwards I needed to give my stomach a rest, so I watched the kids ride TriceraTop Spin while Alex got us a coffee.
We left Dinoland and walked over to Discovery Island to have another look at the Tree of Life
and lined up to meet Lilo and Stitch.
There wasn't another Festival of the Lion King show for awhile and we were all pretty hot and tired by then so we decided to miss it. We had a look around Camp Minnie-Mickey
grabbed an ice-cream at Campfire Treats and headed out to catch the bus back to the hotel.
After an afternoon swim we walked over to The Boardwalk and had dinner at ESPN Club. On the walk back to our hotel we checked out the Disney Vacation Club apartments which were very impressive and very tempting!
