Disney’s Animal Kingdom Crowds
It was a day with lighter crowds, though Pandora was a bit busier than the rest of the park. The wait for Na’vi River Journey extended past the ride entrance.
Avatar Flight of Passage in Pandora also had a longer wait than most of Animal Kingdom.
Kilimanjaro Safaris did not have a line outside the entrance…
…and neither did Kali River Rapids.
Expedition Everest also had a fairly short wait, with the line only extending slightly beyond the ride entrance.
Dinosaur showed low crowds…
…and so did TriceraTop Spin!
