they RAN straight for pandora and got on the new ride with only a five minute wait!

mike said the land of pandora was out of this world beautiful!

the hallelujah mountains (floating mountains)

and the ride was beautiful too!

they had a bit of time so they thought they'd try for a quick safari! and they got on with no wait!

after breakfast, they headed to dinoland!

only mike and mv did the dinosaur ride but they loved it!

triceratops spin

and another little roller coaster with just mike and mv

the big tree!

they already had a scheduled fastpass for the safari so they went ahead and did it again in the afternoon!

they had an absolute BLAST!
