I am sorry to hear that your area was hit so hard by Sandy.
Great update!
The AKL has some really unique stuff in their shop!
The pressed pennies really are a great cheap souvenir! My son is obsessed with them!
Now back to check out that Cropped Picture and make a guess!
Yeah, it's going to take a lot of time for my borough to recover. I think we may have been the hardest hit borough in NYC even though we're often "forgotten." A lot of people have been stepping up to help out and donate and volunteer, so that is very encouraging!
The AKL really does have a ton of unique things! I was happy to see the resort specific merchandise too because I remember reading before the trip that Disney might have been getting rid of it? I'm glad they didn't! I like the gift shops, but I didn't want them all to have the same generic items.
I'm really not sure where the cropped picture was taken! So, I'm going to go with Rafiki's Planet Watch in Animal Kingdom.
Good guess, but it's not at Rafiki's.
So glad to hear that you guys are ok. I can't imagine what its like for those that lost their homes.
**Cropped photo guess** I know this one! Its from Journey into Imagination with Figment!
A lot of people overlook all the details at AK but it really is an amazing park. Howard took some great photos!
I'll be honest, I don't understand how Disney can "sell" the pressed pennies when they are allowing people to destroy US currency which is illegal. Oh well.
It's hard to imagine how life is just going to keep moving on. School starts again on Monday (except for those schools that are shelters right now; that includes my younger brother's high school). It'll be strange teaching again and driving again.
YES, you are correct! You've earned yourself a weak sauce point!
I can't wait to see the photos Howard takes in December! I think he gets better each trip. He doesn't really have opportunity to practice with his DSLR except for our Disney trips!
Oh, I didn't even think about that with the currency!
Glad guys are OK and all you lost was your food. That stinks but atleast it's replaceable.
I remember seeing on Twitter you had gotten the Chimpanzee DVD. It is such a good movie. If you liked it and haven't seen the other Disneynature movies you should check those out too! I love them all!
Oooh, so are you guys staying at Pop Century in December?
Man, I wish I was at the AK bus stop right now...
Jennifer beat me to it but that cropped picture is definitely from Journey Into Imagination.
Yeah, I'm glad it was just food. We haven't made it to the grocery store yet because we wanted to make sure everything was stocked first, but it's so easy to just go and pick stuff up. Others don't have the luxury to do that with all that they lost.
It really was such a great movie! I got so tied up in it and didn't like when the bad things happened to Oscar!
Yup, we're staying at Pop Century! Trying to save money, of course, haha.
Yup, it was Journey Into Imagination!
So glad you all made it through the hurricane all right!
Fortunately Bloomberg came to his senses and is postponing the marathon.
Thanks! I'm so happy we didn't suffer any damages personally. I'm also thrilled that the marathon was cancelled. Everyone was speaking out about it including our local politicians. Everyone was signing a petition on change.org too because they were outraged.
Ugh this hurricane was horrible, wasn't it? I can't believe how bad NJ and NY were hit. CT was hit pretty badly too, but not like NJ and NY. I've been seeing all of your updates on FB, about having no power, I can't even imagine! We didn't lose power, but we did have a tree fall on our house...not fun! Luckily, there was no damage! (Speaking of FB, I followed you on twitter, I'm minnie_ears, I don't know if you were wondering who I was or something!)
That gift shop you are in looks really cute, is that the one that is kind of near where you exit the safari? I love that one, they have lots of cool things to look at in there! I love those keychains you were looking at, I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for those...in 5 DAYS when I'm in Disney World!
The damages were pretty horrible in my borough. I had to stop reading all the updates because I was making myself feel sick.
Thanks for letting me know about your Twitter name, haha. I don't always check the followers often because I look at it/update it on my phone. I'm not on it as often as others, but during vacation time, I tweet a lot more often so as not to bother everyone on FB!
I'm not sure where the gift shop is, but it's closer to the front of the park. I just know that we needed a break from the heat as we were walking out.
I don't think I ever saw Luno, but I did watch Wishbone... it was one of my favorite after school shows in elementary school.
I loved Wishbone! I learned so much about literature. I wish shows like that were still popular with kids. And you guessed the Cropped picture correctly!

Weak Sauce Points Scoreboard
Round 19: Cropped was the JOURNEY INTO IMAGINATION - yay to Jennifer48!
Here's the current scoreboard for weak sauce points. I promise I'll TRY to post more rounds of the game over the next few weeks! I have 2 rounds of Cropped already set up. I'm getting excited about our December trip, so I have more Disney on the brain! Plus, as I said in an earlier update, the devastation of Hurricane Sandy is really depressing (although the fact that so many people in my borough are helping each other out is so uplifting ... even my 10-year HS reunion next week has been changed to a fundraiser event), so I am focusing more on Disney for a respite.
