I love all of your Dinosaur pictures, the kids really had fun with it! How unfortunate about your meal - it stinks to spend that much money on food that isn't very good.
Looks like you've conquered the picture mess great update, love AK. I wasn't sure if we'd make to that park on our upcoming trip as DH wanted more down time...but looks like I'll get my way, I mean we have an ADR at Yak and Yeti so whatchya gonna do
You made EMH rope drop !!!!
I will forgive you about the mugs..
Our backstage safari was 8 am. Did not realize there was an afternoon one.
Looks like you made good use of your morning. Sorry the bakery was a let down.
Can't wait to hear how the backstage safari tour went.
Devine is simply amazing. I love AKV in general but Africa is my favorite part. The music and sights, the general vibe....can't be beat in my book.
I take the the tacky photos of photos too. I seriously wonder how many they actually sell.
I'm not a fan of the pastry carts either. I'm not a big pastry fan in general but the kids always seem disappointed with their choices, especially the bagels.
Cute pics of the kids posing in front of Dinosaur.

Finally. It was day 11 of our trip, the second to last day and at long last we were actually going to a park!
Ill be honest; I really hadn't made a touring plan but definitely had some ideas in mind. Jeff however had some DEFINITE ideas and there may or may not have been agreement or disagreement about strategy.
And apparently I really thought everyone would let me tell them what to do.
Nope. Definitely not.
Nothing like Souvenir god funds burning a hole in your pocket huh.
And a visit with a lovely lady
The rest of the gang was less enthralled, Im not sure why but they were booking ahead. Maybe thats why Devine decided it was time for a break?
Soemtimes you've just got to fill your belly with what evers on offer. I'm sure a lot of mugs get dumped we don't take ours home with us for a start, but a recycling process for them would be good.
I'm not sure that sentence has ever been written in a TR before. Congratulations!
If only everyone would just do as we say, it would all work out better!
I know that feeling. That's why DW hides the cash.
I have to confess, I fall into the camp that doesn't really "get" Devine.
Good job getting everyone going after they were so tired from the cruise and planning on sleeping in just 24 hours before.
I don't think I've ever been in that Chester & Hester's Dinosaur Treasures.
When I took a backstage tour at MK, they told us that they go through every trash can to pull out all recyclables. I would hope the mugs would get recycled then.

$38 is $38. Better than nothing. And you get to say you have an AP.I think I saved about $38 off the total cost versus buying 2 separate tickets for the 2 trips.
How wasteful. Now you're going to have to get new mugs on your next trip.Barely but we made it! And then tossed our now empty refillable mugs. Irresponsible!
That was your first mistake...And apparently I really thought everyone would let me tell them what to do.
Not sure I'd want to make this my second stop... third maybe, but I don't think I could bypass Asia.Fast pass in hand it was off to....Kendall's favorite ride! As she and Jeff would be gone in the afternoon, they basically got to call the early morning shots.
Sounds wonderful.If memory serves, the pickings were slim and not everyone got their first choice.
I'd be frustrated about spending $15 on it. There's not even any bacon in there. You basically bought flavored breads.The beverages were decent, I will say that and while it wasn't anything remotely special (and I'd have been truly annoyed had we spent $30 on it) it did what we needed it to do which was put a little something in our bellies to tide us over till lunch.
I was way wrong... I thought you wanted to hit EE first. I'm not a KRR fan at all though.SO very very true. Although it did work out. I really thought we should grab Kali first as I worried that if we did it as our 2nd FP the time could be too late for K. Luckily it wasn't.
I'm sorry, but this kind of makes me a little bit concerned that not throwing away perfectly good Power Wheel cars is considered to be one of their recycling programs. That obviously means that at one point, throwing them away was considered, or as recently as 2006, they would have just done that. Now regardless of how waste is or isn't sorted once dumped in a trash can, throwing those away would be the definition of wasteful.For example, Lightning McQueen Power Wheel cars used in a promotional video for Cars Land were donated to local nonprofits that serve children and families.
I don't know what they get paid, but it isn't nearly enough.Off soapbox now. And I really don't want that job of garbage sorter. Ick.
Yay for making rope drop!
I agree -- they should have more recycling in the park.
Dinosaur was our first ride of the day at AK too. And I guess I'd never looked up at the store afterwards. It's so cool inside!

We threw some pretty nasty diapers in those trash cans... and somebody has to sort through that... yuck.
It is sad you had to throw out your mugs. I know I might get flamed for this, but it would have been awesome if you could have just given them to someone. Oh well. Next time - Owner's Locker.
I have to agree with Kendall that Dinosaur is a great ride. I really love it!
Great pictures of the three kids together. The pictures in front of Dinosaur are awesome!
I know what you mean about sometime you just have to buy food you rather not have simply to fill the hunger.
Fun morning so far!
In looking at our AK day well...we took over 500 pictures. And, of those about 180 were of the safari.
4 cameras, 4 time stamps and
SO crazy! Not even a PB issue. I'd already uploaded them, went to look at them and was SO confused what was what.
Instead I decided to go back and re-sort them and re-upload. Finished the sorting last night and will upload today and then, safari time!
Hope everyone is having a lovely morning
Tell me about mixed up photos on PB! We use three different cameras and all are on different time zones.
My pics are/were in a hot mess. PB has now added a sort by filename option, which gets them in order again - at least for me it works.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The custom sort option is BACK on PB
SOOOOOOOOO happy!
It's about time!
Caught up again.
We do throw our mugs away every trip. No use for them at home.
I was told also they have sorters. I would not and could not do that.
Seems like a good day so far.
Looking forward to the safari pics.
