I froze when Ariel spoke to me ~ Update 7/21!!!

ok I am not getting a big head but those are very nice things you wounderful people have said about me. All I have to say is: my sister and I grew up without alot of money and I know how magical it is to get to go to Disney. So whatever I can do to make it more magical for others also makes it more magical for me. I am thankful that I have a good job and a wonderful sister and I never want to take that for granted. I work long hours in a hospital and don't do much outside of there but am always looking forward to Disney "my special place":cloud9: , and as my boyfriend says "Work hard play hard":banana:

:hug: Yay for big sisters

If I haven't said it before, I'm saying it now. You truly are a wonderful big sister. Not very many sisters would really do this for their younger siblings. It's really sweet. Go big sisters! :yay:

You two seem to have a very special relationship. That is one thing I hate about being pretty much an only child. I have siblings but they are 17 years and more younger than me. Great Update.
 
I am loving your trip report but am I the only one that had the end of MGM day cut short and the beginnning of Epcot not there? You were at Nemo when it started. I wanted to hear how you were woken up that day. Doesn't Stitch start to irritate after a few early mornings?

I also need to comment on the age thing with the characters. I saw Mary Poppins with my mom when it first came out. She died shortly after that when I was 12. Mary Poppins has always held a special spot in my heart. Fast forward to me being 45 and meeting her in the park. I could barely talk to her I was crying so much.....I was trying to explain to her but I am sure she thought I was a crazy person out on a pass for the day :lmao:
 


Just caught up with your whole report. Really enjoying your report. Ariel is sooo my favorite princesses too!

Disney Mom, how do you get the chapters in your first post, I would love to be able to do that when I am done, and have no idea how

There might be a quicker or better way but this is what I do.

1)Click on the number in the top left corner of your chapter.

2) It will pop up as a window than copy the website address and close the window.

3)Go to your first post and click edit in the bottom left corner. It should go into edit mode where you can add/delete anything.

4)Then just paste it into the writing where ever it makes sense to you.
 
Hi Beth!!

Loving your TR!! :)

My boyfriend and I are going for our first WDW vacation together this winter, and your report has made me millions more excited!! :)

Looks like you really made the most of every day and I can't believe what a wonderful trip your sister arranged for you!

I haven't been since I was 7 and he's never been, so I think I'll get him a first visit Pin! :)

O yea I fixed the missing part of day 3!!!
 
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

Take as much time as you need.

I will do my best to have an update tonight for everyone
 
Ok after the tooooo long hiatus onward to

Day 4!!!




So stitch wakes me up again, and I eat some more oatmeal! I go to get dressed and realize that I am almost out of tank tops! So of course I go and steal a tank top out of Andy’s bag!!!
We head out the door, and jump onto the Animal Kingdom bus!! I had guessed that was where we were headed as it was the last park to visit.


Mandatory tree of life photo.

Now due to my fear of the dark we decided to skip it’s a bug’s life on this trip. I had read here on the boards that it can get intense, and just didn’t want to chance ruining the day by scaring myself silly.

I did however decided to take on Dinosaur. I was surprised by how bumpy the ride is. I have since seen a Disney special on TV that showed how they make the bumps, and would never have guessed!!!

We wandered around and then headed over to enjoy the safari. I waited in the stand by line, and only waited for about 20 minuets.

I loved the story line on this ride. We chased down the poachers, and then decided it was time for a snack! Over to Pizzasaurs for cheese sticks! These were so yummy, I am sad to hear that they are no longer offering these for a snack credit. We relaxed for a little while, then were off to our next adventure at Animal Kingdom………..
 
And our next adventure would be

Devine!!

This is where I must tell you though, I have lost my photo pass CD, so there will be a few less pictures from here on out


Anyway, we go back to exploring all the trails, but like good explorers, we know when we need a break

We found this little guy on one of the paths

DSC00296.jpg


This pretty bird looked fake to me, I didn’t believe it was real until it moved

How about a hidden Mickey as we go?

After that adventure it was on to conquer the Yedi!! I LOVED this ride. I think not only the ride its self, but also the queue area are themed so well, and are a great example of Disney magic!!!!

Andy sat this one out, so I didn’t let her get in the picture!!

We stopped in the gift shop and I got the new boyfriend a yedi that bends. The yedi is one of the neatest things I bought while there. He is furry but bends to pose!

And now a few pictures for your viewing pleaser of us in front of the mountain.

Animal Kingdom only took us until early afternoon to get though, so we started to head back to Old Key West, but on the way out, I ran into Pocahontas!

So it was a great visit to the Animal Kingdom. I will leave you with these

Love the design on the benches

Upnext: They lied to me again!!!!!!!
 
If anyone is following along, I would love to hear from you. I am guessing I lost most of the followers I had. That's what happens when you don't update for 7 months :lmao:
