Florida Vacation - Day 7


Day 7 of the Florida vacation was Disney Animal Kingdom. The alarm didn't go off in the morning, but Mom managed to get everyone up at 7:30am and they still made it to the park just after rope drop at 8am. Dad and Sam headed off to get fastpasses for Killlimanjaro Safaris, while Pete and Mom got in line at Everest.

After a brief crisis with Pete's "lost" card (was actually in Sam's pocket), the rest of the day went very smoothly.

Throughout the day they enjoyed the following rides/activities:
  • Expedition Everest (twice)
  • Killimanjaro Safaris
  • Pangani Trails
  • Wildlife Express Train
  • Habitat Habit
  • Conservation Station
  • Affection Section
  • Boneyard
  • Triceratops Spin
  • (lunch) Restaurantosaurus
  • DINOSAUR
  • Finding Nemo: The Musical
  • It's Tough To Be a Bug
  • Festival of the Lion King
  • Kali River Rapids
  • *Completed all 6 segments of the Kids' Discovery Club*
It started raining during the Nemo musical, and drizzled for most of the remainder of the afternoon. But fortunately, Kali River Rapids stayed open so they got to ride everything (except for Primeval Whirl, which was closed for the day). Fortunately, there were not as many dozens of Brazilians in the park as there were the previous day at Hollywood Studios.

Dad didn't like Kali River Rapids too much. He said he could have saved 15 minutes by just having someone dump a bucket of water on to his socks and shoes. However, it was pretty hilarious when the two Hispanic ladies got completely doused on the big drop and Sam pointed at them and shouted out "you got soaked!".

Everyone got back to the hotel pretty early, so they got some awesome caricatures done by Mr. Mike and then had dinner at the Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory Food Court before enjoying a brief swim in the pool before lights out at 11pm.
