Love this ride and it's absolutely perfect for the hot and humid days! You're gonna get wet. Did you hear me? I'll repeat myself: YOU'RE GONNA GET WET! Who knows how much or how little, but you're gonna get wet. So if this is something that concerns you, don't get on this ride! During the hot, hot months we have here in Florida, getting soaking wet is actually not so much of a bad thing. It feels nice and will cool you down and believe it or not, our FL sun is so blistering hot that you'll dry off quicker than you think!
Even though there are 12 in a boat and they move through quickly, the line can get really long for this attraction (especially during the summer months... and we have a LONG summer here). So I'd seriously consider grabbing a fast pass for this one!
There are lockers you can store your items in so they don't get wet, but I've never had a problem putting my bag in the middle of the raft under the protection cover thingie. Now that I've said that, the very next time I go, my bag will get drenched. LOL Gotta love Murphy's Law. If you have a DLSR, I would definitely put that in a locker.. there's no way I'd risk that not getting wet.
Kids are sure to love this ride too. What kid doesn't love getting wet? It's like a white river rapids kind of experience, but you are perfectly safe. Personally, I don't think there's anything scary about it. However, some kids may find that scary. As I've said about other rides, only you know your kids, so you make the decision on whether or not you think they can handle it.
Don't miss this attraction when you're at Disney's Animal Kingdom!
