Can I remind you of our view?
Still beautiful!! I love it!
I sat out there for a while jotting down trip notes.
I always think I'm going to do this and I never do
Sadly, usually I’m ready to head back to the room before my mom. She loves Jellyrolls SO much, and well, I just love sleep so much.
I feel like this will be me and my mom in October. I'm not a night owl by any stretch of the imagination.
Oh my goodness. It was so loud!
this is my nightmare. I'm sorry you didn't get to sleep in, this would drive me nuts!
My mom and I stood there for a moment in shock, then slowly backed our way into the staircase before anyone saw us standing there in our bathing suites!
Best use of this gif ever, I'm cracking up!
Soon enough we saw the bus we were waiting for, the Animal Kingdom bus! Off we went to our next adventure!
Yes! Animal time...my favorite!
Kinda bummed I never had a cool school field trip like that…
I have a friend in Miami whose kids go nearly every year...usually to AK or Epcot. Where I went to school, we had theme park field trips that were awesome, but Disney World?? That will always be the coolest, and I will always be so jealous.
Oh well, nothing we could do about the crowds, and we knew that AK can feel super crowded while still having low wait times, so we had our fingers crossed that would be the case that day. Yeah. We were wrong again. I pulled up MDE to see which rides had short waits, and it was none. Absolutely none. EE was 70 minutes, Kali was 120, the safari was 60, and Dinosaur was 60. Wow. Compared to the fall when EE was 10 (actually walk on), and the safari was like 15, this was nuts!
Oh my gosh...this sounds like my departure day. All week my crowds were low, my AK days were amazing, and then on departure day I couldn't even get fast passes (I'd waited b/c i wasn't sure which park I'd choose to go to) and the lines were insane, everything over an hour wait, and it was the week that single rider line was down for EE.
We were there for a few minutes when suddenly we see a duck…a Donald Duck!
I love his fuzzy fur! It always looks so soft!
Yes, I know, only 10 people, no big deal. But still. We’d been there for about 15 minutes at that point, so it was really obnoxious for these people to just roll up and jump in front of everyone.
I would have told them to get to the back of the line. At California Adventure last summer, we waited for Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps for a really long time. We were the first people in line for the upcoming set, had been there since they walked away for their break from the previous set. A line grew behind us, and then about five minutes before they came out, group of people walked up and asked the CM what the line was for, she told them, and they proceeded to step in front of us. I told them, sorry, nope. Check out the line behind me, it ends wayyy back there. The people behind me backed me up, and they moved on.
It was the first time I'd really made more than a passing comment to anyone who line jumped, but I was NOT giving up that spot. We were meeting Nick and Judy first gosh darn it! (and it ended up being AWESOME)
So I had a temporary lapse of memory, and had thought the picture was taken at the very end of the ride where the dinorsaur drops down from above and the car drops to miss it.
In my opinion, this is where the picture should be taken! Everyone always looks so calm at the actual photo part, it's silly!
From the very beginning we had animals all over the place.
I always felt the same about active animal mornings and slow afternoons, but over the past few trips I've come to realize they are out in the afternoon too. Now I try to do the safari first thing and then fast pass it a little later. I had really good luck on my May trip after some giraffe disappointment on the last few visits!
The vehicle in front of us even got stuck for about 5 minutes because a rhino decided to plant himself smack dab in the middle of the road and she couldn’t get around him!
I love the rhinos!! I always hope one will stop us so I can be close to one, but hasn't happened so far. Usually it's the ankole cattle that get in our way if we get stopped!
