6.3: Finishing Up at Animal Kingdom (December 2019)

If you missed the last post, you can read it here. 

The CM who walked us back out on stage was very nice. His name was Dan and when he asked where we were from and I said New York he said “City or State?” God bless you, sir! It’s so annoying that people think New York is only the city. I think he said his husband’s family is from Buffalo so that may have contributed to his understanding. 


There was a couple from Columbia, Missouri who were celebrating their 50th anniversary. Dan had been in boot camp with a guy from Missouri and he said there were two ways to say it: Missour-e or Missour-a. The wife said there’s a reason for the Missouri Compromise. SHe was very passionate! Who am I to judge.


Then, we slowly made our way to Flight of Passage. We wandered around for a little bit while we waited for our FastPass time. There were some drummers performing and we could hear the banshees...screaming? Do banshees scream? Wail? Yell? 




When we rode Flight of Passage I tried to be brave because there was a young girl in our group. She had a Nala plush who watched us from the cubbies. Nala also enjoyed the ride according to the girl. I was still scared! 



We were hungry so we did mobile order for Flame Tree Barbeque. I got the salad because I had heard good things. It was the longest wait I’d ever had for mobile order, but not too bad. The salad tasted good, but didn’t stick with me for very long. 



Next, we used our FastPass for Kilimanjaro Safaris. We got stuck at the beginning. Sometimes animals just create traffic jams. We did get to see our new buddy, Dugan. The giraffes were all staring in the same direction which was a little weird. I’m sure there is no giraffe conspiracy.










It would be a tight squeeze, but we decided to try and catch the 3 PM performance of Festival of the Lion King. We just missed it, but did have FastPasses for the 4 PM show. We just hung out in Africa while waiting.


We ended up in the Elephant section which is the best! It was fun and entertaining like usual.




After the show, we headed out. 


The menagerie/puppets for Christmas were out, but they were finishing up so we didn’t get to see a lot of them. I was a little sad about that.
