How long does Kilimanjaro last?

[ssleblanc]

I am planning (and planning and overplanning) our trip. The day we are going to do AK (my first time to AK), I have to be back to Coronado Springs for the convention at 3. We are going to do EMH that do at AK, and then my sister will stay with the kids when I go to work. I'm trying to figure out how much I'll be able to do before I leave.

I am assuming (just from looking at pictures) that Kilimanjaro is longer than most rides - covering a big distance in slower moving vehicles. But really, I don't know anything about it. I had told my sister that we would do other things before I left, and that she would take the kids on Kilimanjaro after I headed out. Of everything there, it is the thing that interests me least (not because I don't think it would be cool - I LOVE that sort of thing, but I've been on safari in Kenya for 2 weeks, the real thing - so I'd rather do the rides instead .. EE, etc).

But, I don't want to skip it just because I'm assuming it is an hour affair, if it turns out to be a 15 minute drive through some animals.

The ride is not the same every time, and I've never really timed it, but my guess it averages out to be around 20 mins.. Thats not counting a wait, or if an ostrich lays down in front of your vehicle.

It lasts about 20 minutes. Just be sure to be there first thing in the morning or get a FP for later so you won't be wasting time in line!

Do it first thing in the morning during EMH morning. The animals are really active when it's still cool, and the line isn't long at all. I'm with the others...it takes about 20 minutes average, if an animal doesn't hold things up for too long.
