Our first stop at Disney was Animal Kingdom. They opened early for resort guests this day. There were only a few things we wanted to do in this park, so we went early and got them done and moved on.
We of course wanted to check out the newest attraction, Mt. Everest Expedition. The line was a little long, but we got through fairly quickly and got fast passes for another ride later. The ride was fun. You climb up and ride up and down to a "broken end of the track" (from here I could see Hollywood Hotel Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios.) Then you ride backwards for a ways. There is a part where the Yeti's shadow is animated onto the wall and you see him tearing up the track. You finish the ride going past an angry Yeti who will be waiting to catch you on your next ride through.
After this we went on the the Dinosaur ride. We did not do that last time and so wanted to check it out. It was ok, and probably better if you really like dinosaurs. The "show" and animatronics is good. The ride is a bit jerky and maybe scary for young kids (dark and dinosaurs "jump" out at you.) After our ride through this era we headed to the Tree of Life to see the Bug movie. My husband and son had seen this one before, but it was a first for my daughter and me. The 3D is fun, but I don't like getting squirted with "bug juice" (they squirt water on you for effect!)
There is much more to do in Animal Kingdom, but for the sake of time, we left after this and headed out to Hollywood Studios (formerly known as MGM Studios.)
