We got up early to hit this park when it opened in hopes of beating the crowds. Some of us followed through while others (me) turned the alarm off and went back to sleep!! We still made it there in time to beat the crowds. We walked right up on all the rides in Dino-land. Dino-land had several rides and many, many carnival type games that we somehow got out of doing!!

We wanted to make sure we did the Rapids ride before the crowds rolled in because we knew that would be one that would consistently have a wait time during the day. We put our ponchos on and boarded our raft. Thank goodness for the ponchos...that is not a ride where you get just a little wet, you get SOAKED! We went ahead and rode it again while we were all ponchoed up and got that out of the way. This ride reminded me a lot of Thunder River at six flags.
TIP: If you would like to keep yourself somewhat dry for the rest of the day you will absolutely need a poncho on this ride. We used the .89 disposable ponchos and they were fine.

| This is the Expedition Everest...a super fun roller coaster. We got a fast pass for this one and as soon as we got off of it we got another one. This was one of the best roller coasters I have ever been on. It went frontwards, backwards, upside down and sideways. The kids loved to see how long they could keep their hands up! |

We saw lots of animals, some were on our African Safari ride and some were in various areas of the park. Tigers, elephants, chimpanzees, lizards, giraffes, hippos, and lions to name a few.

What a fun park! Lots to do and see. We also did a cute little 3-d show about bugs. We saw a fabulous broadway type musical called the Festival of the Lion King. A definite must see. We ended this day early evening because...well we were all exhausted and the kids were begging to go swimming. We headed back to the resort for a relaxing evening and SWIMMING!
