A quick start for us after a great brekkie buffet at the Embassy Suites and we prepared for the Walt Disney World onslaught. We decided to visit WD Animal Kingdom for our first day. We got the hotel shuttle bus to Epcot and then the Disney Shuttle to Animal Kingdom.We headed straight to the "Fastpass" for the Mt Everest ride and then went to the Dinosaur simulator ride - wow!. It was a really enjoyable ride and we all had a laugh.
Next, we went on an African Safari ride and it was awesome travelling through the savannah and seeing lions, cheetahs, elephants (and a baby elephant), giraffes, monkeys, rhinos, warthogs etc. It was just like being in Africa!
Next we went on the Kali raft ride which was super and we were pleased with ourselves as we didn't get too wet - just enough to cool us down for a while. We went on other numerous "quieter" rides before encountering "Everest". It was fantastic!!! It was a roller coaster but it also went backwards for quite a distance and also in the dark during the ride. Simply awesome!
The last big item for the day was watching the Nemo Musical. It was magic! You would have paid over $100 to see this musical at the theatre - it was absolutely outstanding!
We had got a fastpass for the Kali rapid ride again so back we went. This time we got soakedto the skin which certainly cooled us down. As it was time to get the shuttle we set off to findthe right lane area for our bus which took the efforts of Allie and JR. Back to the Embassy Suitesfor the Managers Reception for Margaritas, Beer and a Slushie. Laundry had to be done so we stayedin for dinner.
