Disney 411 - Animal Kingdom

"In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight"

The Animal Kingdom? That's lame.

I protest for it is not.

Our first full day at Disney we went to the Animal Kingdom. We were only there for about 5 hours but we did everything there. It was enjoyable because it is the less busiest park so less people. I would make a suggestion to go there on a really hot day because there are tons of trees and shade. We likea da roller coasters and we were pleasantly satisfied at Animal Kingdom.

We started at one side of the park and just made the loop so we weren't walking back and forth wasting our time and energy. We really didn't know what we were in for. First, we got to Dinoland and we just went into the first building that looked like something. I thought it was going to be like a little museum or a show like thing. Nope it was a ride. Crap dude it was good. We just went and stopped at everything on our way to the main attraction. No not the big tree but the big mountain. That's right Expedition Everest. It was set to be a traditional coaster but it wasn't. We didn't have to wait but maybe 10-15 minutes to ride it but that would have been okay if we had to wait. You see this ride is the perfect example of the awesomeness of Disney. You see instead of waiting in those awful lines staring at the same people with barely any wind or shade instead Disney has you go through different buildings that are air conditioned. All the buildings were decked out in the theme of the ride and so there was tons of stuff to look at. Back to the ride...we liked it and decided to try the "single rider line" for a second go around. That was even shorter. You see Disney files you in and they understand your need to ride with your group of people so they set you up to do that. Also in doing that it leaves open spaces that they fill with people that will ride by themselves. Thus creating the fast single rider line. We couldn't go a third time because we didn't want to over do it.

Moving along a share with you a very important public service announcement.

YOU WILL BE SOAKED.

Most people have been on the rapids rides at theme/amusement parks. They all have them. Mostly you get a little wet at least and sometimes people get it bad. Let me tell you that you will be completely wet on this ride. Thus leading to my whining for the rest of the day. The bright side was I didn't get hot at all because I was WET. This ride starts with water being dumped on you. I'll move on from this.

For the most part the park was a blur after that.

There are animals everywhere and "cast members" (staff) are around to answer your questions about the animals. However no animal-zoo like smell. Thank goodness.
