Day 4: 10/25 Animal Kingdom 8a-6p
Arrived at toll booths at 7:10. Shocked to find out that they were already letting people through!!!
Straight into Pandora to FOP in line at 7:35 and line started moving immediately. No clear posted time. Wife took kids and I did swap. Took them 50 to totally through and off.
Went to Navi River next to stay ahead of lines plus whole family can ride. Navi said 30 was 22
Back to FOP with my swap +2 headed over to Everest at 9:35.
Everest said 35 was 20. Wife child swapped it. Then we did stand by again to save whole family worth of child swaps for later. Second Everest said 45 was 30. While waiting we saw several cavalcades. AK is by far easiest to randomly see them compared to other parks.
Went to Tough to Be a Bug said 20 was 16
Head to Yak and Yeti reservation at 11:45 seated almost immediately. Finished and out at 12:50
Looked at Monkeys for a moment than went to 1:30 UP! Birds show at 1:10 and got seated in theater which is nice because it is shaded over headed.
Watched a guy argue with CMs over the bottom strap untie mainly because he refused to correct when asked.
Did Jungle Trek then back to Everest for our two sets of child swaps finished both those by 3:00 (second swap got caught in cleaning cycle)
Went to Gorilla Falls and saw the baby and other animals. Next stopped at Safari (3:38) said 15 was 8. They were loading every row. Very hot due to installed dividers, much less air flow.
Got some Dole Whips in Africa.
Went to Navi River for one last family ride at 5:05 said 50 was 45, FOP was listed at 55 so it was a tough swallow but we wanted to do one last thing all together and my youngest daughter has an unexplainable fascination with the movie Avatar and she was going nuts for Navi River trip.
That wraps up our trip we were supposed to do 5 days and end with MK tomorrow and fly home late. Between melt downs, exhaustion, and just being sweaty and gross we know it is not feasible to board a plane after a park day. Lucky we have this option due to Covid unexpiring tickets and we can save day 5 for later.
That wraps up my just the facts non biased trip reports. When I get time in the next day I will type my overall thoughts and opinions for how it is here.
