I'm starting to sound like a broken record here but this day started out with a few of us running off to a ride - we couldn't be late or miss it because we knew the line would get long and we were so excited for it...Mt. Everest!!!
This ride was so much fun, it revolved around a crazy snow Yeti and a mountain trek. At one point the ride stops at the end of the tracks and then you go backwards - such a fun way to spend a Tuesday morning with your kids!
After the ride, we ran over to The Festival of the Lion King show. We scored some amazing VIP seats through a contact of one of Andy's cousins. This show was amazing - it felt like we were on Broadway. The kids were even chosen to participate in the show!
This day was a full one - rides, show, lunch at Tusker House with Donald, Daisy, Mickey, and Goofy, more rides, a Safari...yes, I said a safari! We saw so many great animals including giraffes, elephants, wild dog/wolves, rhinos, hyenas, and so much more!
We were all pretty hot and sweaty after the safari so we thought it would be a good idea to grab another Mickey Ice Cream and frozen lemonade, and then we headed to this water rafting ride. It was another huge hit! I really wish I had my camera for that ride because everyone's faces were priceless as we headed down the rapids. We all got a little wet but Brooks and Dad seemed the most drenched by the end of the ride.
Our final experience at Animal Kingdom was with the Pandora-Avatar Ride/Experience. It was 3D and absolutely breathtaking. The ride had a 2 hour wait but thankfully Andy's planning gave us a fast pass plus a "ride swap" which allowed the kids to go again with another adult - lucky ducks.
After a quick meal we headed back the hotel for a nice shower - we were starting to smell like the animals on the safari!
