Fri 20 Animal Kingdom

Another busy one! I thought this was supposed to be low crowds. It’s not. 

Started at a cafe in Africa where you can get yummy breakfast foods, cinnamon roll was amazing, breakfast tachos were alright. There were about 20 ppl in the queue, was wild! Headed straight to the Kilamanjaro safari as we had heard that the animals are most lively in the morning, before it gets too hot. Was very cool. Did the gorilla walk, lovely and shady. 

Mobile ordered food at Satuli Canteen, had to try the cheeseburger bao (how does this taste just like a McD cheeseburger?!?), and a delicious plant based option, spicy crispy tofu. You can’t get a seat at satuli canteen until Your food is READY! So having a pending order being prepared isn’t enough, it has to say that it’s ready to be picked up, there was no seating outside, everyone was hot and we were waiting for them to prepare the order. Hot and hungry! I noticed Pongu Pongu next door and remembered that they sell the frozen drink ‘night blossom’ and the spring roll with pineapple and cream cheese!!! While we waited to be allowed to sit at Satuli Canteen. It all worked out perfectly and our order was ready when we grabbed our pongu pongu order. 

We then got to experience Pandoras Flight, this is the best attraction in this park, it’s so immersive. Just amazing. We went on it a lot over the course of the trip. Then onto the Na’avi River Journey, which is very sweet. Kali River Rapids, we got SOAKED, if you don’t like being wet, put your raincoat on for this one, and don’t forget to keep your feet up on the circular bar, so your socks don’t get soggy!

Dino land is closing soon, can see why, it’s pretty dire. We went on Dinosaur, and back to Pandora for another round on each of the Pandora attractions.

We were told this park closes early by 7pm or 8pm, but check, it might be 6pm that day!
