A wonderful park for all ages. We stayed for 6+ hours and didn’t cover everything. I brought my 10 year old granddaughter for her birthday. We waited for 50 minutes to do the Safari but so worth it! Reserving lunch at Rainforest Cafe was a nice break, too. Enjoyed the Na’Vi River Journey, a Bug’s Life, and Finding Nemo. Would definitely recommend for grandparents on special one on one time.
We did the Kilimanjaro Safari first as the weather was going to get worse as the day went on and saw all of the main animals out and about before they sought shelter from the rain which really good as on the previous time they had been more elusive. We then went and saw the lion king show and grabbed some lunch while undercover before then going to it's tough to be a bug. By now the rain was coming down hard so half the group headed home with the hardcore ones adopting the idea that as we are wet we may as well do Kali river rapids, which this time round I thought was a lot shorter than last time. Next up was Expedition Everest and using our previous knowledge opted for the single rider queue which was at most 5 people so we got 4 goes on this great ride in about 20 minutes with zero waiting times. We then opted to go to Avatar Flight of Passage which despite the hour wait is still a good ride especially now I have seen the film and know a bit more about it.
This was definitely my favourite of the 4 Disney theme parks this theme park is incredible from the nature, animals, safaris and just Beauty of this park to the ride the fast rollercoaster and immersive lands. This theme park is perfect for all ages from little kids to teens who love thrilling rollercoaster. Some of our family’s favourite favourites are expedition Everest, avatar flight of passage, Kilimanjaro safaris and Dinosaur. If you are there I would 100% recommend doing the festival of the lion king show it was absolutely incredible. If you are in the Orlando area this is a theme park you cannon miss.
Our favorite park out of the 2 we went to! It wasn't as crowded as the other parks, the wait times were not tooooo bad, they could have been better though. Disney needs more water bottle refill stations, and interactive lines for rides.
We had a great time at the park. We followed people's advise - arrived early and headed straight to the Avatar Flight of Passage. The app said the wait was 60 minutes but it ended up to be 90 minutes. It was hot outside, some areas had shade but the majority was with the sun shining on us. Once inside it was air conditioned and further inside, they did design 2 bathrooms (finally some thought into their planning). The attraction was worth the wait. We liked it so much we came back right before closing and did it again, this time it was only 45 minutes (once you are in line you are good even if the park is closed).
The safari ride was okay. We saw animals roaming around or eating. This attraction was also a 90 minute wait and mostly outside under the hot sun except one small part was in a building There were some shady areas and they did have fans blowing.
The Navi ride was beautiful. It's a slow water ride, has beautiful lighting and animatronics. This park has the fewest rides and we were able to do all of them in one day.
In summary, we did have a great time. You just have to know the weather and be prepared. We knew we had come on one of the hottest days so we knew we were going to be sweating. Of course, expect long lines and have fun. We are on vacation!
