Oh, how I want to stay at AK... You had such a great view!!
Um, I love the cruise poses. I hope you have that bend & snap one hanging up somewhere in your house!
I realllly want to go to the GFC. It just looks so nice! Yay for closing places down with yummy food & good friends. It's a wonderful feeling!
PS, I'm trying to justify a late November/mid-Dec trip...since our February trip has all but bit the dust due to Rich's project. Maybe a shopping trip then?
Hi Jennifer! It really was! I'd book that room type again for that view.
Ha ha! No. It's not hanging in the house but we do have a pose with our Moose "ears" that is pretty cool.
I agree, dining with Dis pals makes any meal special. Reference Hungry Bear and a certain couple that we met up with a couple months ago!
Sorry about February!
We'll be at WDW from 12/5-12/15 so if you go to the World then we could meet up otherwise I'll miss shopping with you!
Coming out of lurkerdom to say hello! I always enjoy your reports as you give me such great ideas for things to do on my own trip!
Your views from your room were incredible!
Lol at Mr. Devine! I don't think I like him as much as his female counterpart!
Can't wait to read more.
Hi Jessica! I remember your dining reviews from when I was a Disboard newbie! Welcome and thanks for reading!! I'm so glad that you are here and joining!
I hadn't seen Ms. Devine before but I've seen photos and she is amazing. The dudes in tights should be reserved for the tumble monkeys perhaps.
BTW: We have family from the land of beer, cheese, and football! Love that description!
Monkey men in tights are bound to get anyone's attention.
Bubbles! Bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles bubbles.
I know that his name is Bamboo, but I'm going to continue to call him He-Vine.....
Hahaha, awesome that Tigger did the tango with you. Just incredible. And fun. Em definitely missed out on that one.
No surveys = staying dry. Duly noted.
Hahahahaha. Oh dear. The bend and snap pose was great.
Oh Dani! I agree!
And yes, BUBBLES, BuBbLeS, bubbles, bUbBlEs!!
I'm totally going to remember He-vine so when he appears in your TRs I'll already know. Staying ahead of the curve and all.
Em almost always misses out on the Character Spot interactions. Of course I did bend the truth a little once to get her to go pose with me. See
here. They fell for the old "there's a/c down there" trick. I'm so evil!
If anyone asks you to complete a survey ask for a rain poncho. Just sayin'!
Thanks - we are legally having too much fun!
All caught up again !! Looking forward to treading more !!
Susan
Hi Susan! Glad you are catching up. Without a current TR from you I feel like I'm missing something!
Oh, and the running thing on FB, yeah, my ankle was a very simple fx that has pretty much healed. I have no excuses to not start running. Unlike your complex and severe fx that required surgery and being incapacitated. So sorry you still deal with that.
What a great meeting with Tigger! I adore Tigger, he's so fun.
I like FoTLK better too, though I think it has more to do with the music than the men in tights.
Hi Rachel! Isn't he a bundle of fun? Definitely my favorite.
I absolutely agree about the music distinction. Nemo is cute and good and all but when they sing Circle of Life at FotLK, oh my gosh! Chills! So awesome! But the tumble monkeys aren't bad either.
Brenda, your pictures of the view from your balcony at the AKL are unbelievable. I can only hope that when we are at the AKL-CL we are as fortunate as you were. I'm really looking forward to this trip the first week of June.
Hi Bob! Thanks and I know you'll be enjoying that view as well since you are booked for a CL room. I don't think there's a bad arusha view room since they scatter the animal feeding stations throughout the savanna.
Where are you staying in December?
Another great update!!
I agree that Animal Kingdom is worth some further exploration! We said the same thing after this trip! It has all these little sections that you just end up in and have no idea how you missed it before! It really is a beautiful park!
Finding Nemo really is a great show!! It's a nice break from the heat and very entertaining to boot! But, nothing beats the Lion King, I agree! There's just something truly spectacular about that show...perhaps it IS the tights wearing monkey men, but it's just great!!
Loved your meet with Pooh and Tigger!! Those are some snazzy dance moves!!
That was so kind of you to help that poor lady up the hill! I'm sure she really appreciated it!!
Awesome that you made it to the bus BEFORE the rain this time! Score!
Wow! Amazing photos from your balcony!! Just beautiful!!
Great recap of your dining experience at the Grand Floridian! What a fun dinner with Dis friends!!
Thanks TM!
I agree and now having explored more areas I feel bad that I've missed so much in the past and not given it more time.
Another female who is a fan of FotLK?? Hmmmm...
Tigger didn't disappoint, that's for sure! Throwing in a few dance moves was a bonus!
Thanks!
A Mr. Devine!? How divine! Never heard of him before. That's very cool!
A twirling tango with Tigger?! Tremendous!
I absolutely love the photo of 'bend and snap'!
That's pretty awesome. You and Em are totally in sync.
Ha ha! Sounds a little like your TR title except no food and no wine!
Tigger love for sure!
Thanks! We prefer to
not be serious most of the time.
Hi Brenda! I can't imagine being Mr. Devine would be particularly fun if you had a cold
what if his nose itches?
The AC in Nemo is just one of the many things I love about that show. You got some excellent photos even without the flash!
I am melting at the pictures of you and Tigger dancing. I always end up dancing with Pluto, it's just too much fun!
You are a good citizen for pushing that woman up the hill, especially in the heat of AK in August.
Sigh, I just love giraffes, and the deer-like creature in the last of the savannah pics is so cute!
The Grand is just so pretty.
We have also been victim to the cruise ship poses
you two are so adorable, though!
Hi Courtney! See? You are thinking like me - what does Bamboo do if the pollen count is excessively high that day?
I had the camera on the Nemo show setting so yeah, they turned out pretty swell.
Pluto dancing would be so cute and adorable. And dancing with
you who is already cute and adorable well that would be a moment to bring a smile to anyone's face!! The funniest interaction with him has been trying to feed him sausage at 'Ohana once.
Do unto others you know.... It wasn't a big deal for me.
Oh those cruise ship photographers. They take so many serious photos that we sometimes have to throw in a silly one.
Catching up - loving all the updates and photos! Wow, I had never heard of Mr. Devine, but he is so cool! We had lunch at Tusker House on Christmas Eve a few years ago and were so impressed with the selection - sounds like breakfast is really good too. And that Bee cupcake from Disneyland is too cute!
Hi Emma! I'm glad you are catching up. I must do the same.
Oh my gosh! You are a cupcake lover so that cupcake is perfect.
The bee is a little chocolate treat but the star of the cupcake is the lemon filling. Soooo awesome!!!
TH on Christmas Eve would be extra special!
That would be great! I planned my park days based on easywdw. I'm already having nightmares about the magic bands and fast pass +! I really should stay away from those threads here. But I would love to accidentally on purpose run into you if it works out!
Sent from my iPad using DISBoards
I think we'll be focusing on MK later in our trip if it makes any difference. I keep putting off making set plans since I'm having trouble connecting our new APs to our bands. Argh! I can PM you my contact information and we can try to work out something!
Love your view. I woke up super early many days and would go out on the balcony and watch them. I think on one of our excursions to Jambo I have pictures of that same little piggy hanging around that tree stump
What a nice Dismeet
What a sneaky way to reveal too!
You are going to love December! We will be going back in Dec 2014
Hi Sarah! I loved the early mornings on the balcony. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences with your TR.
I think that piggy may have his "territory" perhaps.
Thanks! We decided to mess with our pal hosting the live dining thread. She was onto us before the reveal but I played stupid. Not hard to do!
I can't wait to see all of the parks and resorts decked out for Christmas. This is a first for us. (We see DL every year but this is different.)
Im just catching up after being on vacation but congrats on thread of the month!
How nice of you to help the scooter lady with her stalled
vehicle!
That is a long walk back from Pooh and she would have been stuck without help.
I love your bend and snap pose from the cruise
too much fun! (I love that movie)
Christine
Hi Christine! Welcome back and I hope you had a nice trip! And thanks to people like you for making that honor happen!
It's not like they had a scooter tow vehicle around so I was glad to help.
Thanks! I hadn't seen it in awhile so I was glad to dust that photo off to share here! Lucky you guys! Cute movie as well! Reese is adorable.
