As we had been told, we headed to Avatar Flight of Passage as that gets the longest queues. We arrived 30 minutes before the gates opened. They let people in but rides didn't open until 9am. We went to the gate to wait, along with EVERYONE else!! We were in line at 8.50am and it took an hour and a half to get on. Was it worth it?? Absolutely!! It was so good!! We were riding banshees through the Pandora World on our Avatars- it was awesome!
Next we headed to Kilimanjaro Safaris where we hopped on a truck and went around the park looking at the various animals. They were all out on show, elephants, rhinoceros, zebras, giraffes, even the lions and cheetahs were out!
From here we headed over to Dinoland to do the Dinosaur ride. We had heard it was just like the Indiana Jones ride - not quite but pretty good. On the way we stopped for the show 'it's tough to be a bug' which was cool as it was inside the big tree.
Stopped for a quick lunch break and continued on. Caitlin, Kaleb and I did the Primevil Whirl which was a spinning roller coaster but one that goes right to the edge and then turns- I don't like these ones! Caitlin, Kaleb, Ian and I did the Expedition Everest ride which is a roller coaster that goes through a mountain (kind of like the Matterhorn) while you are being chased by a yeti! It was really good!
Walked through the Maharajah Jungle and saw a few more animals and did the Kali River Rapids - didn't get too wet thank goodness!
We managed to fit in all the shows. The Lion King was fantastic and we really enjoyed Nemo. We also watched the Flights of Wonder bird show and saw lots of birds doing amazing things- the show was much better than I expected.
Despite the 85 minute wait we decided to wait in line for the Na'vi River Journey. Nice lighting and effects but definitely not worth the wait. After much begging from Kaleb we went back to the Everest Expedition ride and went straight on! Three times for Kaleb! 😬
