Our fourth day of this trip was spent at Animal Kingdom. This was Grandma's first time to see the world of Pandora, and we were excited to share it with her. The park opened at 9:00, so of course we were there before park opening, and on Na'Vi River Journey, attraction #1 by 8:55.
9:00
We had early fastpasses for Flight of Passage, but I don't remember exactly what time. However, they were early enough that we didn't want to leave the area. This worked well, since we were able to show Grandma the drum show that we enjoy so much.
Of course, Grandma is all about hands on experiences, so she had to test out the drums with Littlecjc after the show.
At some point, it was time for our fastpasses so Patrick and Grandma rode Flight of Passage, attraction #2. This is one of the rides that Disney suggests not riding if pregnant, so I sat this one out. In the meantime, Littlecjc and I decided to take a few pictures after we spotted a photopass photographer.
While we waited, we also visited the giftshop and I let Littlecjc play at the bead table.
10:00
When Patrick and Grandma got off the ride, we stopped for a picture in front of the Pandora floating rocks.
After we finished exploring the world of Pandora, it was time for everyone but me to use their next fastpass to ride Kilamanjaro Safari, attraction #3.
If you go to Disney while pregnant, Animal Kingdom is probably the loneliest park since many of the rides there are not suitable if pregnant. However, this also allows for more rest and opportunity to put your feet up which is also needed if pregnant at Disney. On this particular occassion, I also needed to take cover as it started raining while they were on the ride.
11:00
By 11:00, they were off the safari and we decided to jump on the Wildlife Express Train, attraction #4.
While aboard, the rain really started to come down heavily and we all got drenched after exiting the train and running to Rafiki's Planet Watch. While here, we explored the building and visited with Doc McStuffins, character #1.
We also visited with Rafiki, character #2.
I had to include this next picture to share how the Disney ponchos aren't suited for tall people. Poor Patrick and his shorts demonstrate just exactly how heavy it was raining.
Although the rain hadn't stopped, we were already soaked, so we decided to head back to Africa. Upon our arrival, we decided to go through the standby line for The Festival of the Lion King.
12:00
Our timing worked out nicely, and we made it into the 12:00 show making Festival of the Lion King, attraction #5.
It looks like we were seated in the giraffe section.
1:00
After the show, we trekked back to Pandora to grab some lunch at the Satu'li Canteen. Of course, we weren't going to leave Pandora without another picture.
2:00
With picture done, we hurried off to use another fastpass, this time at Finding Nemo the Musical, attraction #6. Before the show actually started, we were able to secure our next faspass.
3:00
When the show ended, we made our way to Dinosaur, attraction #7, where everyone but me made the journey back in time.
I guess no one in their car wanted to get too close to the dino this time around. Before leaving Dinoland, we decided to ride Triceratop Spin, attraction #8. After their ride, we traveled to Asia.
Littlecjc always seems entertained here, which is good since we had to wait a while for Patrick and Grandma to make it through the line to ride Expedition Everest, attraction #9.
Although the rain had come back, there was only one ride we hadn't yet ridden. Since they were already wet, Littlecjc was able to talk her dad and grandma into a ride on Kali River Rapids, attraction #10.
Littlecjc was too cute wearing Daddy's hat to protect her from the rain, even as she insists on riding a water ride.
4:00
As the rain continued to get heavier again, Littlecjc decided to ride in the stroller, and she passed out almost immediately.
Since the rain seemed to be here to stay and we had already ridden everything, we decided to call it a day. I think we were all ready to get back to the room and put on some dry clothes.
