At Home in Animal Kingdom

At HOME in Animal Kingdom. This park is special and always will be because it is where I worked years ago. I did my College Program (CP) on the Kilimanjaro Safari. Then I extended and did the rest of the year working in public relations giving tours through Animal Kingdom. Therefore, when I am there I feel like I am returning home. 

We started both days being there in Pandora. We wanted to ride the Flight of Passage ride. It was great this time because we were able to see ALL of the theming. In February there were parts cut out due to COVID. The 4-D ride is amazing. We were especially happy to do it because Koala Bear was tall enough to ride with us! 

She was most excited to ride the Everest roller coaster. She has been talking about being tall enough for so long. And she finally was able to ride it! We rode it over and over! AMAZING! 
 

We rode Kali River Rapids. The first time we rode it a HUGE wave soaked us. But then the next two times we barely were even sprayed. Every time it was fun though. 

Pandora had some amazing aspects to it. The Navi River cruise was special. It is a slow ride that uses technology to bring beauty to a dark world.

Of all the things that Animal Kingdom has to offer, this fountain in Asia is the one that seemed to bring the most joy! 

We ate at Yak and Yeti--the sit down side. It was delicious. We had eaten at the Quick Service side in February. I am glad we did this. The food was amazing. I did a full blog about restaurants here. 

I was so excited to take the kids to the Lion King Show. It had been closed when we were at WDW during February, but it was back open! I still love all the colors and songs. There were a few changes, but for the most part it was the same. 

Of course we went on Kilimanjaro Safaris a few times. It was amazing to see all of the animals. Each time we went there were many animals out. There was on time that a giraffe stopped and stuck their head inside the truck! 

This is the Frozen Night Blossom drink from Pandora. It was amazingly delicious. There is a fruity pear tastes and the fruity boba. 

One of the things that we liked about Animal Kingdom was the mini cavalcade floats that happy often. We were able to see so many characters that way throughout the day. 

Lady Hiva was explaining all of the lab tools in the Flight of Passage queue. To prove Disney goes above and beyond with theming, she showed that all of the tools are real tools she uses in her lab. 

We ate at Tusker House for a character lunch. It was fun to see the characters and the food was ok. We had high hopes for the food, but it was not as good as we expected. There were parts of the food we LOVED and other parts that were just OK.
