Day 3 began very early as we were taking advantage of the "extra magic hours" at Animal Kingdom. We arrived there bright and early shortly after 7:00 am. We wanted to be there lined up and ready to go for when the park opened at 8:00. We took some pictures outside the park and once the park was open we went in for rope drop. We made our way to Expedition Everest first as this was our first time for this ride. The crowd was brought to Expedition Everest by cast members to make sure everyone was safe, along the walk to the ride the anticipation built.
Once riding Expedition Everest 2 or 3 times, we continued over to Kilimanjaro Safaris. It was a fun ride and great to see such a variety of animals. It was great watching Chris's face as this was the first time he had seen a lot of these animals before in person. We went on the explore the trails that Animal Kingdom has to offer. Out of all the animals I think the hippo's, gorillas and tigers were our favorites and where we spent most of our time. After pulling ourselves away from the animals we headed over to Dinosaur! What a thrill that was, I had forgotten about how the ride ended and I screamed really loud, Chris could not stop laughing at me. We headed over to Kali River Rapids after Dinosaur as we wanted to wait till closer to the end of the day, just to be on the safe side in case we got wet. Turns out that was a really great decision as when we boarded the ride we were the only ones without ponchos! Well we know it is supposed to be random as to who gets soaked at the end of the ride, it didn't feel random. The only 2 on the raft who didn't wear ponchos got all of the water!
Well after getting drenched we went through the Maharaja Jungle Trek and Rafikis planet watch. We started to get uncomfortable in our drenched clothing so we decided to call it a day and head back to the hotel to dry off and relax.Stay tuned for day 4...
