    Default Irma at WDW Trip Report - The Mediocre

    1. We tried some new restaurants this trip - The Jungle Navigation Co. Skipper Canteen, and Olivia's at OKW. Olivia's was good, but we were really disappointed with the Jungle Navigation Co. The food just wasn't that good, and the interactions with the servers was bland. The greeters were funny and what I expected everyone to be like, but besides the server's opening line of, "Have you been here before?" and responding to our "No" with, "Neither have I! We'll do this first time together!", it was the same kind of banter I would get at an Olive Garden. We had the falafel appetizer, the Char Siu Pork, the chicken, the pasta, and the noddle bowl, and no one really liked their dishes. They weren't bad....just mediocre. We expected more.

    2. Avatar land - Again, I just expected more. It was smaller than I was expecting, the Navi River Journey was much more tame than I had hoped, and I expected there to be more of the bio-luminescent plants around after dark. They were there, to be sure, but I just expected more. The Navi River journey is cool, and has some great effects, but I find the Living with the Land ride to be more interesting.

    That said, anyone who complained that it doesn't belong in Animal Kingdom...well, go see it. It totally fits in that park. In that sense, it was amazing.

    Also, the Flight of Passage ride was pretty cool, but it's basically Soarin' 3.0. Our "flight goggles" were really loose and kept threatening to fall off, mid-flight. The scene where the large orange banshee "attacks" you also caused my wife to get really motion-sick. Up until that point, she thought it was awesome.

    We weren't overly impressed with the food at the Jungle Navigation either but thought it might have been because we were there during its soft opening. I think my husband will need to skip the Flight of Passage ride as it seems likely his motion sickness will get to him as well. Thanks for the report!!
