Do you get wet on any rides in Animal Kingdom?

Water Rides at Animal Kingdom Everything about Kali River Rapids screams thrill ride as you get whisked along fast-moving rapids and plummet down a 20-foot slope. One thing is certain; you will get wet! If you want to stay dry during this adventure, we recommend bringing a waterproof poncho.



Yes, you will definitely get wet—and quite possibly soaked—on Kali River Rapids in the Asia section of the park. This is a traditional white-water rafting adventure that features gushing waterfalls, erupting geysers, and a dramatic 20-foot drop into a churning current. Because the circular rafts spin freely, there is no way to predict who will get the "splash"; it is purely a game of chance. Disney provides free lockers near the entrance for your electronics, as the water can easily penetrate backpacks. Beyond Kali, you might experience a very light "mist" during certain outdoor shows or near the "Journey of Water" (Moana) attraction if you choose to interact with the "jumpy" water features, but Kali is the only true "soaker" in the park. In 2026, the ride remains a staple for the humid Florida afternoons, though "poncho-wearers" are a common sight in the queue for those who want the thrills without the damp clothes. If you do get soaked, there are large "human dryers" (fan booths) available for a small fee near the ride's exit to help you dry off before heading to your next "Lightning Lane" reservation.
