After breakfast at Denny’s we drove over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom where we went on ‘It’s Tough to be a Bug’, ‘Primeval Whirl’ and ‘Dinosaur’ before midday. We all got wet on Kali River Rapids then dried off in the hot sunshine while enjoying drinks on Discovery Island. From there we headed over to ‘Asia’ for Expedition Everest before deciding to join the long line for ‘Avatar Flight of Passage’. It was just as mind-blowing as we’d remembered and was definitely worth the long wait. We watched ‘Festival of the Lion King’ then had a delicious evening meal at Pandora’s Suvali Canteen as the sun set before taking another ‘Flight of Passage’...this time with only a 5 minute wait thanks to Fastpass. Afterwards we wandered through Pandora’s bioluminescent Valley of Mo’ara before taking a Kilimanjaro Safari...which included the unforgettable experience of seeing and hearing the lions! At the end of an amazing day we were treated to the visually stunning Tree of Life Nighttime Awakenings and Rivers of Light shows.

Traveler Notes
It was very hot and sunny when we arrived at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and headed straight over to Pandora where we waited in line for 90 minutes for Avatar Flight of Passage...but it was well worth it! We were all blown away as it was like nothing that we had experienced before and is definitely the best ride we’ve ever been on...wow! During the rest of the day we also enjoyed Expedition Everest, Kali River Rapids and Kilimanjaro Safaris before making it to the (indoor) Dinosaur ride just as a rainstorm hit. Thankfully it was a short one and afterwards we we went on the Gorilla Falls Trek and Na’vi River Journey before enjoying a delicious meal at the Satuli Canteen. Animal Kingdom’s opening hours have been extended since Pandora has opened so we were able to take another breathtaking Flight of Passage (still stunning despite an even longer wait) before experiencing the interactive bioluminescent ‘World of Avatar’ after dark...such a great day!
Flight of passage was definitely best thing out of this trip. Avatar land is amazing.
