We arrived at Disney's Animal Kingdom around 10:00am, and headed in to get our new group signed up for Steve's Disability Access Service (DAS) pass. We elected to use it first on Avatar Flight of Passage, but the return time provided meant that we had some time to use before we could get on. We opted to head off to Africa to ride the Kilimanjaro Safaris. We got to see a lot of animals on this ride, though not as many as some of our safaris in the past. Even so, it was still a nice ride through Africa.

After our safari we decided that it was time to eat the lunches that we had packed for ourselves. We found a table outside of the Tusker House Restaurant/Dawa Bar area and settled in to eat.

Once we had had enough to eat, we made our way to Pandora - The World of Avatar so that we could take our turn on Avatar Flight of Passage. Everyone except Aunt Erica, who opted to sit this one out, that is. As always, we enjoyed our ride on the banshee's with the Na'vi.

We had intended to get on one more ride, but there was some miscommunication about whether or not to make the reservation, and unfortunately we did not. The timing of the wait for DINOSAUR (our preferred next ride) and the fact that we would need to drive to Epcot put us perilously close to missing our slot at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind so we decided not wait it out, and instead opted to make our way to the front of the park to head out.

We did see something new on the way out... Divine, a character that is all leaves and blends in with the plant life at the front of the park. Apparently she has been in the parks since the beginning, but this is the first time that we have ever been blessed to see her!

Well, although we had fun, it was time to head to our next destination!

Once we finished our turn on the Guardians ride, Drew, Jayden, Uncle Steven, and I made our way over to Mission: Space to give the intense Orange Mission a go. Although I enjoy the ride, I really wish that it could be updated somehow. It appears that others feel the same, as we were the only four people on our entire ride! That cannot be terribly cost effective!

We had intended to ride Test Track next, but we only barely got inside when an announcement was made about a "delay". We could hear the ride running, so we thought we'd wait it out. Unfortunately, the line never moved, so we finally made the decision to call it a day.

We made one last stop on the way home, at Chili's in Champions Gate for dinner. We enjoyed our meal and it was a filling ending to a great day spent together with family. Until next time!
