All About Our Day At Disney's Animal Kingdom #Disney

We spent the entire day at Animal Kingdom! We arrived at 8 am and we headed straight to Avatar Land. This is such a cool section of the park. The wait times were already at 45 minutes for Avatar Flight of Passage and the Na'Vi River Journey. We decided to ride Flight of Passage first. We absolutely loved this ride! It reminds me a little of Soarin' at Epcot. I highly recommend riding this. To describe the ride, you are virtually flying through Pandora on a banshee. Guests must be 44" or taller to ride. My daughter was able to ride even though she was in a boot.

My kids really love the Kilamanjaro Safari ride! We saw many animals this time. The wait time was long though. We waited about 50 minutes for the safari at 11 am. 

We found the cutest cupcakes at Zuri's Sweet Shop in the Harambe Market. This is a great place to get some special treats to take home.

We explored Gorilla Falls after riding the Safari. My daughter loves hippo's and she was SO happy to finally see a hippo up close! Definitely plan to spend at least 30 minutes exploring Gorilla Falls. This was a really cool part of Animal Kingdom that we never knew existed on our previous visit a few years ago. 

My son was really excited to see a silverback gorilla. There are actually 5 of them living here however we only saw 2.

After exploring Gorilla Falls we headed to the Wildlife Express Train located at Rafiki's Planet Watch. This is a pretty cool open air train. It takes you to the Affection Station where children can pet many animals, learn about animals and even pick up a free coloring book.

Here is the Affection Section petting zoo. They have sinks located just outside of this area.

They offer daily complimentary drawing classes here at the Conservation Station!

There is a really high tech Veterinarian surgery center here where you can view live surgeries and procedures happening.

Next up we headed to Asia to ride Expedition Everest. The wait time was only 10 minutes!! We LOVE this roller coaster and we decided to ride it twice!! 

We had a nice afternoon snack at Tamu Tamu. Then we rode Dinosaur and explored Discovery Island. Animal Kingdom closed at 5 pm however if you hop in line for a ride by 4:55 they will allow you to ride. The gift shops do stay open much longer.

Be sure to snap some photos at the entrance to Animal Kingdom. They have a really cute photo area.

We had a great day at Animal Kingdom! I feel like it is one of the least crowded parks which makes it more enjoyable for me personally. We brought a soft cooler with our lunch and we ate in a nice shaded area in the Harambe Market. We purchased Dole Whips at Tamu Tamu and unfortunately they were extremely messy, sticky and dripping literally everywhere. We ended up throwing our daughter's away because it was just such a mess. I will stick to dole whips at Magic Kingdom from now on. Can't wait to return to Animal Kingdom. We LOVED the new Avatar Land and my kids said Avatar Flight of Passage was their favorite ride of the day.
