Florida 2022 - Part 9

Disney's Animal Kingdom
 
Sunday - April 10th 2022
 
Another day, another themepark. Today we visited Disney's Animal Kingdom. After we got our coffee at the food court, we took the bus to the park. Animal Kingdom is Disney World's most beautiful themepark, especially due to its lush vegetation. Once we were entered the park, we headed straight to Pandora - The World of Avatar to ride Na'vi River Journey, a nice boat ride through the caves of Pandora. Afterwards we just strolled through the breathtaking land before hading to Starbucks for breakfast. Then it was time for Flight of Passage, Pandora's main attraction. We didn't really know what to expect, but the 3D flight simulator attraction was amazing and instantly it became one of my all time favourite Disney rides. In Flight of Passage guests fly on a Banshee across the landscape of Pandora. Before checking out the rest of the park, we got a fancy drink at Pongu Pongu.

Next was Kilimanjaro Safaris in Africa, another must do attraction at Animal Kingdom. Since it was still in the morning, many animals were out in the savannah. It was really great to see giraffes next to our jeep. After our safari we got hungry and decided to walk back to Pandora and eat at Satu'li Canteen. We both ordered the vegan Crispy Tofu Bowl, which was amazing. After our delicious lunch, we walked over to Asia to ride Kali River Rapids, a river rafting attraction. A fun ride, but unfortunately we didn't get very wet. Then we did the Maharaja Jungle Trek to see the Tigers. To escape the hot Floridian weather we stopped at Nomad Lounge for cocktails and vegan Impossible Beef sliders. A couple of drinks later we lfet Animal Kingdom and took the bus back to Pop Century Resort to relax at the pool.

In the evening we hopped on the Skyliner to Epcot. At Disney's Boardwalk we stopped for drinks at AbracadaBar, a beautiful a magician-themed lounge. After we finished our drinks, we went to Regal Eagle Smokehouse for dinner. Of course we got the delicious vegan BBQ jackfruit sandwich again. Then we just strolled arounf World Showcase to check out the stores before taking the Skyliner back to the hotel
