- Arrived back at Disney's Animal Kingdom around 5:20pm. A look around the current tram drop off area that is slated to be redone in the coming weeks.
- Returned to Pandora because I picked up a FastPass+ for the river journey once we decided to revisit the Animal Kingdom today.
- Some otters out playing this evening.
- Passing through Harambe.
- The Conservation Station area is still closed and the entry area is used for the Wilderness Explorers program.
- Stopped by Gorilla Falls since I had some time before our FastPass+ for the Safari. The Zebra were running around a little this evening.
- A video clip of the Zebra running around.
- Meerkat were huddled together.
- The family troop were gathered near the window.
- Mother and baby Grace.
- Decided it was a good idea to climb this stick..
- Video clip of the gorillas
- Some work going on at the back of the marketplace. Also found it odd how early this closes. It was 6:30 and it looks like it had been closed for a while.

- The Dino-Riffic Dance Party! was wrapping up. It ended at 8pm and it was 7:55pm.
- Chip and Dale at the dance party.
- Video clips from the finale to the Dino-Riffic Dance Party! I found it a little odd to play Walt's Disneyland dedication and other attraction sounds.
- I found a bench to sit on and post some pictures. Also noticed there were a couple covered picnic tables in the area too. A rare instance of covered seating being available.
- Passed by the Tree of Life and a small crowd had gathered for the Awakenings show at dusk. It was 8:18 (found out it did not start until 8:45)
- Passing by the Lion King gang.
- Took a stroll through Pandora as the sun was setting.
- The pathway to Africa was fairly quiet at this hour. It was just after 8:30 as I walked through the area.
- Quiet in Harambe too.
- The Tree of Life.
- lights in the bushes along the walkway.
- The Tree of Life Awakenings projections on the backside of the tree.
- One section of the Rivers of Light FastPass+ viewing was still open and seats available in the other ones. This was less than 10 minutes until showtime.
- Standby was about the same.
- I opted to stand and skipped both seating options. This was my view.
- The finale to Rivers of Light at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
- As I was leaving the park after the show everyone was taking the walkway to the right in the Oasis. So I took the one to the left and had it to myself.
- Exiting the park at 9:22pm, so it was just over a 5 minute walk from the viewing area.
- Back to my room at Pop Century at 9:49pm, so just under half an hour to wait for a bus and reach the resort.
