Thank you

Looks like you had a great time and welcome back home.

We definitely did!!

 

[Mocharilla]

Yay!!

Well, we checked in and they gave us a pager.

There was such beautiful decor!

Even the fire alarm matched the paint!

We sat down and waited and waited.

We got sat and got personalized menus! The thing is, we have no idea where they came from! We think it was maybe our TA.

We were the farthest back level from the tank, but it was okay. We still had so much fun!

We got bread

and oil and balsamic vinegar

I got the Chicken with mashed potatoes

and Nic got the Catfish and grits

This was taken less than 7 minutes after the first pictures:

We're so used to eating quick with Jacques!

We got the Chocolate Wave free for our anniversary

For full food reviews, check out our dining review. Overall, we thought the food was good.

I loved that the Epcot floor lights up:

We stopped in MouseGears for a while, and picked up bride and groom ears for our honeymoon (we did use them later in the week, though! )

It's like you are paving the way for my trips! We want to say at Port Orleans Riverside in 2009 and we were just talking about going on a carriage ride at POR on one of our free days since we want to check it out. We are also going to Coral Reef!

That's so crazy!

Well, I suggest both of those things!

Well, I sat the wake-up call for 7 AM Monday morning.

RISE AND SHINE!!!!!!!

We got out of the hotel room at 8:05, and we were on the bus by 8:20. We tried to leave the room an hour before we wanted to be at the park, and it seemed to work out perfect!

The bus stopped at BB, and then we were off to AK!

We made it there around 8:45, so we were there for rope drop. We walked through the beginning of the park...

... And up to where the rope drop area was.

After the rope drop show... (which we couldn't see too well)

We headed to the Safaris. The line was listed as 20, but it was really only about 10 minutes.

Around here, we got stopped for a good 15 minutes. We'll find out why later

We got to see a baby giraffe

And we got to see a baby elephant

We found the reason why we were delayed. It was two giraffes! They were still basically in the road:

These trees were awesome! Our guide said people call them "upside-down trees".

As we were walking out, we went into a Pangani Forest Exploration Trail thing, and I saw something amazing for the first time, and definitely not the last time...

... Blue shirt, khaki shorts, could it be?!

Glad you're home safe.

Can't wait to hear about yours, too!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I hadn't seen that you already started your TR - I haven't read it yet, but am excited to just based on the title ! WELCOME BACK!

 

[Me&3]

Congrats can't wait to hear more.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Okay, just read it all - and GAH! You totally left us hanging on the blue shirt, khaki shorts....!

 

[Mocharilla]

Where we left off was that I saw a group of people in blue shirts and khaki shorts.

Well, yes, it was the dream team.

They were standing next to the entrance of a walkway, so we decided to conveniently sit down for a second on the bench and take a rest. Well, this was at a corner in PFET where there was a walkway, an area, and then a walkway. They were in the second walkway. Well, they walked to the end of the first walkway, and started handing out Dream Fastpasses. We walked over, and the girl was a TOTAL biotch. "THIS IS AN EXIT ONLY! " and she threw up her arm to block our way and glared us down.

My mind screamed, but I barely stammered out "So...rry..." and walked away, almost in tears. She was a total jerk to me. Fine if she couldn't give them to us, but geez. What an ******. It made me quite leery of the dream team, and I was trying not to cry, and Nic thought I was silly, and I was like "That's probably the closest I'll get to getting a dream this week! And she was a jerk!"

So, no, we didn't get a dream from them. But, it's okay.

We headed towards the front to meet up with my Dad, and saw Stitch, so we stopped and got a picture. This was our first Photopass picture. I don't have them yet, so I'll just do a post later on with them all when I get them.

We got EE fastpasses, then dropped Jacques off to Nana and Pop-pop.

On our way back in, we rode Dinosaur, and then headed to EE to use our FPs.

We picked up KRR fastpasses on our way to Pizzafari.

I got the Chicken Caesar Salad and the boys got Hot Italian Style Sandwiches.

We rode KRR and got DRENCHED!

(Sorry I didn't take too many pictures at this point)

We headed out and back to the hotel.

Hey! Yep, we're back!

I can't wait to get to the good part!

That was my point! But, it's up now. It was soooo hard to wait to post it.

Congrats can't wait to hear more.

Thank you!

That stinks about the snooty Dream Team lady. I'm sure they get swarmed with people all the time, but they could at least be NICE about it. Well, I recall you sayinig you saw them more than once in your previous update, so I hope the next ones were nice and you get a dream!
