Great early morning pics! Sounds like a good start at AK and the pics with Timon are so cute!
Good choice!Jimmy was still looking pretty snoozy, but was excited to wear his Carnotaurus shirt today!
Where is everyone???
Beautiful shot!
I do know what you're talking about and... I seem to have a fuzzy memory of those two statues being closer to the entrance. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they got moved.I hadn't remembered seeing these guys before, but they are tucked along the path right across from the Up! bird show adventure (totally not what it's called, but you know what I'm talking about...hopefully!)
Awww...Rob re-proposed to me in this spot on our vow renewal trip back in 2006.
Had to think about that one. I'm so used to calling it "It's a Small Moon"we had a FP for NRJ
Jimmy's backwards hat just cracked me up, apparently so much that I had to take a picture to document it while we made our way through the line.
Cool shot!
@buzzrelly 's tree!
I had Animal Kingdom's best breakfast offering, a Simba pretzel with plastic cheese. MMMM, it really hit the spot right at that moment!
That is hilarious. I think I'll go with that from now on!Had to think about that one. I'm so used to calling it "It's a Small Moon"
Mmmm, yes, cinnamon rolls are one of my favorites, and I have yet to give that one a try! There's always next time!
I'd go for the pretzel, but let you have the plastic cheese. I love the Kusafiri giant cinnamon roll for breakfast.
The Timon interaction was SO much fun! I felt bad monopolizing so much of his time when there were people waiting, but not gonna lie, I loved seeing my kid having so much funI love the Timon interaction with Jimmy. You'd never know y'all were running on fumes at that point. I also love the photo with Jimmy at your vow renewal.
The sad thing is, this is how he reacted the first time he rode in 2016, and we were totally not about making him ride again. It was ALL his idea! He had the shirt, he was totally amped up to go, and then just totally lost it. Poor guy. After we got off, he did say, "well, that wasn't so scary." I had to laugh when I saw the pic!Poor Jimmy on DINOSAUR. I still don't know how I managed to keep looking my first time on that ride even though it was very overwhelming.
Oh, yes, please!!! I clearly need some companyManifesting you being able to get him on Rockin' and Hulk one day.
It's so well done.I always find myself enamored by the incredible animals on the tree,
I think AK does that better than any other park in WDW.As you wind your way down the path to the theater, it's so easy to forget you are in a theme park. I absolutely love that about AK.
we were headed for brunch (our favorite time to eat at Tusker House, around 10:35-10:45, the meal starts out as breakfast and starts being shifted over to lunch, so you get the best of both worlds at the price of breakfast! As I told @pkondz, beating the system never tasted so good!
He's growing up. Soon....it struck me just how long his legs are getting, and what a big boy he is starting to be!!
Great shot.
Oh! I never would've seen that! I like it!Our last plans for AK had us headed to Dinoland, U.S.A., walking right past my favorite hidden mickey!
pfffttt... no problem. But I can't type it fast five times.chipmunk-o-sauruses (say that 5x fast!)
Last stop on our AK trip was a ride on DINOSAUR. Someone was feeling especially brave on the way in...

and questioning said bravery soon after...
I can't take credit for it, though.That is hilarious. I think I'll go with that from now on!
You've gotta try it! Sooo good!Mmmm, yes, cinnamon rolls are one of my favorites, and I have yet to give that one a try! There's always next time!
Hi, Caroline!!Hi Jackie!! I’m glad I found your updates. I really enjoyed reading about your park days after the cruise.
We did the Fantasmic VIP dessert party and really like it.
I miss Tusker house and Crystal palace breakfasts, love both of those. We try to do the later time to enjoy a few lunch treats. Good idea!
Great pictures! I’m glad you were feeling better after a couple days.
Of course! Disney boats are a magical experience onto themselves!we were excited to be traveling by boat!
Wow! That all worked out really great!hopped on a waiting bus from our hotel to MK, and a waiting boat to Wilderness Lodge, and ended up being over 30 minutes early. I figured it couldn't hurt to check in anyway, and to my surprise, they had a table to seat us right away!
Totally worth it.Jimmy was very pleased that he got to mix his own drink, the Transformation Potion. It just tastes like lemonade, but they give you a little sugary mix to stir in. It was $5 extra, but look how happy it made him!
This is not a dining report, as I'm sure you've been able to tell by the # of tator tots eaten from kids buffets by our crew so far
It all looks very pretty and very creative.Rob and I enjoyed everything well enough, but clearly the presentation is the star of the show!
Glad that worked out for you.Dopey is my very favorite guy, so I was incredibly happy to spend a quick moment with him
Perfect shirt! Love it!
Well... sure. She is the Evil Queen after all.She was very serious and demanding respect of her visitors.
Oh dear!More than one child left the meet in tears!!
Way to not be intimidated, Jimmy!Jimmy mostly just stood there smiling and completely ignoring her. I think he was hoping they'd snap the pic and he'd be able to get the heck out of there quickly! She scoffed at him. It was hilarious.
Cool!
That's... so weird. You'd think someone would've said something to you. Like "I'm sorry, but we can't take on passengers right now."The boat docked, let out their passengers, and the CM walked over to open the rope for us to board. The captain called him back to the boat and they had a quick heated exchange. He ran back to us, put the rope back up, ran back to the boat and they left. We were confused and thought it was strange
How does that happen?That's when she mentioned that she had heard boat traffic was stopped because someone had fallen off the ferry into the Lagoon.
Poor little guy.Jimmy was crying because he was hitting a wall
awwww...Almost as soon as we were seated, Jimmy was out.
Glad you got your meet in.I headed straight for the turnstiles! I made my way quickly down Main Street to the spot where Lesley and co. were watching the stage show (she had sent me a quick little map with a circle on it where to find them!), so we could say hello and visit for a few minutes!
I think just about all of us can relate to that!(In retrospect, I should have just stayed and enjoyed the park with my friends instead of responsibly taking Jimmy to bed! I'd have felt bad making Rob go back while I stayed, but I think if I had known the way the next several months would unfold, I would've treated myself FOR SURE!!!)

After our bug adventure, we were headed for brunch (our favorite time to eat at Tusker House, around 10:35-10:45, the meal starts out as breakfast and starts being shifted over to lunch, so you get the best of both worlds at the price of breakfast!
We had a nice break by the pool! Jimmy joined in his favorite poolside games, and I finally turned in my hot chocolate cup for my much-preferred poolside beverage!

I wouldn't rush right back to do this meal again, but it was definitely a fun experience and unique presentation of our meals. And you can't beat meeting a couple of dwarfs and the Evil Queen without waiting in line for hours!

How does that happen?
Yea I meant to mention in the report, but should have clarified. By later that night, the news sites were all saying that the woman actually jumped and hadn't fallen from the ferry as originally reported. Just so sad.Yikes! I think I heard about that…I think she jumped on purpose
I was always a go til you drop kind of Disney traveler, until we went on our Babymoon before Jimmy was born. The only way Rob would agree to go on the trip was if I agreed to slow down and take it easier, which meant midday breaks every day. I hadn't realized what I was missing!!!! Now, we take a pool break every day if possible and it makes everyone so much more pleasant!That looks so perfect. I love pool breaks
Hi!! Thanks for reading along I LOVE taking pictures of Disney balloons, but this one is a favorite for sure! I can't wait to tell all about NYE! It will be a hard one to top!I love your last picture! Just so pretty! Can’t wait to hear about your New Year’s Eve!
Hi, Jenny! It really was SO much fun!Hi Jackie! Finally, all caught up.
You, Rob and Jimmy, have so many great pics and how cool is it that you were able to meet up with Jimmy's friend's family!!!
We are staying at Pop in February and although I'm terrified of the Skyliner, I love the convenience.
I agree 100%!!!!But the convenience can't be beat!
