Disney Day 1: Arrival and Animal Kingdom




We left our house at 3:30 in the morning on Sunday the 27th. We drove to Moline, Il to catch our flight. We had uneventful flights and arrived in Orlando around 11:30 EST. We took the Disney Express to our resort and checked in and was in the Animal Kingdom by 1:30 that afternoon. The first ride we went on was Expedition Everest and in retrospect, probably not the best idea. Valynn and Mason were fine on the ride until it stopped and started going backwards in complete darkness. After this ride Mason was hesitant to do another one, but he did. The next ride we did was the Kali River Rapids, again, not the best one to take Mason on right away. It was raining outside and we then got soaked on the ride. We then did the Maharajah Jungle Trek and Kilimanjaro Safari ride. We then rode Dinosaur, TriceraTop Spin, and watched the show It's Tough to be a Bug. We also got the watch the Jungle Parade, in the rain. The kids loved the colorful and goofy floats. We went back to the resort when the park closed, tracked down our luggage, changed out of the wet clothes and ate supper at the resort.
