First up was <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/destinations\/animal-kingdom\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Animal Kingdom<\/a> and immediately many rushed off to <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/animal-kingdom\/expedition-everest\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Expedition Everest<\/a> or the new and exciting <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/animal-kingdom\/avatar-flight-of-passage\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Avatar Flight of Passage<\/a> in the recently opened Pandora, an Avatar-themed section. Many of us got thoroughly soaked on the Kali River Rapids, myself included, but the heat of the day helped dry us off quickly. The underdog ride of the day was <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/animal-kingdom\/dinosaur\/?CMP=OKC-80010123_GM_WDW_attraction_dinosaur_NA\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DINOSAUR<\/a>, a time-travel mission filled with jumpscares, flashing lights and an insanely bumpy ride. Once we were all at the hotel, many of us spent time in the pool, thankful for its cool water after a hot day of walking.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4781\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4781\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Students-walking-into-Disneys-Animal-Kingdom-2.jpg\" alt=\"Students walking into Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Students-walking-into-Disneys-Animal-Kingdom-2.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Students-walking-into-Disneys-Animal-Kingdom-2-1024x970.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Students-walking-into-Disneys-Animal-Kingdom-2-768x728.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Students-walking-into-Disneys-Animal-Kingdom-2-640x606.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Students-walking-into-Disneys-Animal-Kingdom-2-400x379.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Students-walking-into-Disneys-Animal-Kingdom-2-367x348.jpg 367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students walking into Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<p>The next day provided the real magic, as we rushed into <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/destinations\/magic-kingdom\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Magic Kingdom<\/a>. Already bustling with the one-of-a-kind Disney ambiance, groups split off to hit staple, iconic rides like <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/magic-kingdom\/splash-mountain\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Splash Mountain<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/magic-kingdom\/pirates-of-the-caribbean\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pirates of the Caribbean<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/magic-kingdom\/space-mountain\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Space Mountain<\/a>. Much of the magic was also in the food, as many snatched up Mickey waffles, Dole Whip and churros. Because of its sheer size, most kids were walking upwards of five miles per day! As it does every day in Florida, some rain did put a damper on the afternoon, forcing groups of us to seek any overhang provided, or duck into shops for keepsakes and souvenirs. Once again, a time in the pool was absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4768\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4768\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Thumbs-up-for-a-great-day-in-a-Walt-Disney-World-park.jpg\" alt=\"Thumbs up for a great day in a Walt Disney World park\" width=\"1140\" height=\"445\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Thumbs-up-for-a-great-day-in-a-Walt-Disney-World-park.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Thumbs-up-for-a-great-day-in-a-Walt-Disney-World-park-1024x400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Thumbs-up-for-a-great-day-in-a-Walt-Disney-World-park-768x300.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Thumbs-up-for-a-great-day-in-a-Walt-Disney-World-park-640x250.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Thumbs-up-for-a-great-day-in-a-Walt-Disney-World-park-400x156.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Thumbs-up-for-a-great-day-in-a-Walt-Disney-World-park-367x143.jpg 367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4768\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thumbs up for a great day in a Walt Disney World park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<p>The third and final day was spent in <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/destinations\/hollywood-studios\/?ef_id=Cj0KCQjwlMaGBhD3ARIsAPvWd6gWKWVlQ41TSyA1CDcHzAijh5qKfKXdYS4_fKu833fCPDSWyitt3QgaAsRuEALw_wcB:G:s&#038;s_kwcid=AL!5060!3!445984058621!e!!g!!disney%20hollywood%20studios%20theme%20park&#038;CMP=KNC-FY21_WDW_TRA_DOM-EXCFL_W365_TKT_TCKC_Tickets-EVRGRN-HSParks-Exact|G|5211013.RR.AM.01.01|M5JMF0M|BR|445984058621&#038;keyword_id=kwd-422987401408|dc|disney%20hollywood%20studios%20theme%20park|445984058621|e|5060:3|&#038;gclid=Cj0KCQjwlMaGBhD3ARIsAPvWd6gWKWVlQ41TSyA1CDcHzAijh5qKfKXdYS4_fKu833fCPDSWyitt3QgaAsRuEALw_wcB\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hollywood Studios<\/a>. The main attraction, and by far most popular was <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/hollywood-studios\/millennium-falcon-smugglers-run\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Smugglers Run<\/a> in Galaxy\u2019s Edge. The vast majority of time was spent getting blue and green milk, shopping for lightsabers and buying Disney pins to decorate our lanyards. Outside of Galaxy\u2019s Edge, people migrated to the thrilling <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/hollywood-studios\/twilight-zone-tower-of-terror\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tower of Terror<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/attractions\/hollywood-studios\/slinky-dog-dash\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Slinky Dog Dash<\/a> for an adrenaline rush. Considering this was the third day of walking nonstop, many opted to visit the sit-down, air-conditioned shows to watch vintage cartoons and Disney\u2019s history. At the hotel, the last pool afternoon was cut short by a sudden rain squall, but thankfully allowed us to thoroughly pack before our early check-out time.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4767\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4767\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Getting-some-lunch-in-a-Disney-park.jpg\" alt=\"Getting some lunch in a Disney park\" width=\"1140\" height=\"720\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Getting-some-lunch-in-a-Disney-park.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Getting-some-lunch-in-a-Disney-park-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Getting-some-lunch-in-a-Disney-park-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Getting-some-lunch-in-a-Disney-park-640x404.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Getting-some-lunch-in-a-Disney-park-400x253.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Getting-some-lunch-in-a-Disney-park-367x232.jpg 367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4767\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getting some lunch in a Disney park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4766\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4766\" style=\"width: 1140px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Enjoying-Frontierland-in-Magic-Kingdom.jpg\" alt=\"Enjoying Frontierland in Magic Kingdom\" width=\"1140\" height=\"720\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Enjoying-Frontierland-in-Magic-Kingdom.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Enjoying-Frontierland-in-Magic-Kingdom-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Enjoying-Frontierland-in-Magic-Kingdom-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Enjoying-Frontierland-in-Magic-Kingdom-640x404.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Enjoying-Frontierland-in-Magic-Kingdom-400x253.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.musictravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Enjoying-Frontierland-in-Magic-Kingdom-367x232.jpg 367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoying Frontierland in Magic Kingdom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr>\n<p>Once all were accounted for, we departed Orlando.
