Asia

When you cross the bridge from Discovery Island into Asia, you enter the town of Anandapur. This town is based on real places in India, Thailand, Indonesia and Nepal.  Like Dinoland, Asia has four major attractions. 

Expedition Everest—This is Paula’s favorite ride at Disney World. The waiting area takes you through a Nepalese village and their temple. You will also travel through a museum with artifacts relating to the Yeti living in the forbidden mountain.

Once you get to the ride, you board a steam train to take you up the mountain to Everest. However, along the way you encounter broken train tracks. You must escape the mountain before the Yeti gets you!

Flights of Wonder—is show featuring real birds where you learn about the natural talents and abilities of birds. The show tells you about a variety of birds and how they survive in the wild. 

Kali River Rapids—This is a ride where you sit in a large, circular raft and “float” down a river with white water rapids!  You will float through a dense rain forest past waterfalls, temple ruins, and bamboo thickets. We plan to wear ponchos on this ride so we don’t get too wet!

Maharaja Jungle Trek—this is a nice nature walk where we can see animals who reside in Asia. We will see tigers, komodo dragons, fruit bats, birds and asian deer. We will get a map that takes us through the trail and tell us about the different animals we will see.
