Chapter Five Part Three
When I left off, we had wandered our way through the FP queue for Flight of Passage.
So what did we think?? Did my ride chicken/motion sick mom make it?
Yes she did! In fact, she declared it her favorite ride of the trip. She wanted to ride again until she saw the wait time.
The exit line spits you out on a long descending walkway that ends outside of Windtraders.
We obviously went inside, but the pictures I have of it aren't great, so moving on...
We did pause for selfies at the moss wall. Or at least A moss wall. Whether or not it's the famous instagram moss wall or not I have no idea!

Regardless of whether or not it's the correct wall, it's still pretty all the same!

I've seen Avatar once, but I don't remember what this thing is called, so I call it George the Robot Guy:

George the Robot Guy was cool and all, but I was still more interested in the plant life.

We were really just wandering around looking at everything and taking pictures, so nothing clever to say really...Here's more pics!

I thought this bridge was so cool. It looked like it was made from twine or string.

I really wish the pictures came close to showing you how beautiful it is. I know many of you have seen it already and know, but there's something so sad about a camera not capturing exactly what you remember. I try to be more careful about living in the moment and not behind a camera, but that's tough when something is just so darn pretty!!

I knew the chances of riding River Journey was slim to none, but I had to check the wait time anyway. It was longer than the wait for FoP if you can believe that! Flight was 120 minutes and River was 180! No thanks!! I am hoping we can pick up a same day FP for it this week!
There's this cool sculpture thing outside that took me an embarrassingly long time to realize was the Shaman.

I realized we could make it to the next showing of Festival of the Lion King, so we sadly left Pandora. Mom decided she wanted to stay until dark to see it all lit up. Would we make it that long?? You know me, so what's your best guess?? LOL! I won't spoil anything but...it's our only other night to see Happily Ever After instead of Hallowishes.

Festival of the Lion King is my FAVORITE SHOW. It is a do not miss thing for me. I always say I'm going to make it through and not cry during Can You Feel the Love Tonight, but I fail every. single. time. Every performer is so amazing and powerful in this show. The only live performance that compares for me is Voices of Liberty. If you have never seen FOTLK, please go! Do it for me! Even though you don't know me and owe me nothing, LOL!! But seriously - go!
I took one token picture inside:

and then just sat back to enjoy.
We were in the giraffe section. I want to be the volunteer they call up when they do animal sounds since I actually DO know what sound a giraffe makes after so many viewings of this show!
After the show we made it past most of the crowd crush quickly and didn't get slowed down too much by all the people. I was poised to pounce and get the heck out of that theater.
It was time to say goodbye to Africa

We were on our way to Asia and our last Fast Pass of the day...not counting the free rider swaps we'd scored this morning! Along the way we admired the Tree of Life some more. How can you not, though??

Our FP was for Kali River Rapids. After the rain in Pandora, I was afraid the day would get humid and hot, but it didn't. With the wind and clouds, it was actually nice and cool. I knew I'd get cold if I got wet on Kali and was trying to talk my mom into skipping it, but she wasn't cold so she wasn't taking my bait. So, that's where we headed.
Would I get soaked or would I make it out dry??
Find out next time!! I'll try to get at least one more update out tonight.
