My DD4 constantly has those tragic owies that only she can see. 
YUM!!!!! Thank you so much for the Y&Y review and pics. I have read a lot of mixed reviews of this place, but it has always looked really good to me. I'm glad to hear that your family likes it so much.
The picture with your DS4 cracked me up!
....like we did at Ohana
...but that's a whole other post
You better start packing! You will have to let us know how your trip goes...do you have any ADRs planned?
Yak and Yeti does get mixed reviews, but then lots of WDW restaurants get this. JMO, but I believe that the answer is simple...everyone has differnt likes and dislikes. While lots of people find Liberty Tree Tavern wonderful, DH and I think it's mediocre at best. You just never know. And let's face it...there are bad waitress/waiters at all of them...hopefully, though, you don't get them
No kidding!?!
I'm not packing yet, but I am making my packing lists! I did get several ADRs (even though I didn't know I needed them until we were about 90 days out) We're doing CRT for breakfast, 1900 PF, Akershus, Cape May dinner, Chef Mickey, Crystal Palace. Couldn't get into Ohana 
. DD4 is a serious princessaholic, so all the princess meals might be overkill, but we don't want to miss the princess "window" for her. Plus, this way we might convince her to skip the meet n greet lines. Thanks for a great TR!
I'm falling behind on my TR
Wow, that food looked REALLY good! I have never been in there before. We are usually commando at AK because we only go there 1x each trip. I'm sorry to admit we eat at Pizzafari every time! (even though we think it's really good, my family like to do the same thing over and over and it's always lunch time when we head out of Lion King).
I can't wait to see what you did that afternoon before heading to dinner! We have never stayed for the parade, I am bound and determined to see it this August!
Finally got caught up again on your TR. Love the HDDR we have been 3x.
Your pics from and of the CR have me regretting changeing our ressie from CR to BC everytime I see them. It is crazy but I still check to see if there might be an opening for our dates every so often. Thing is I could not change now, DH is so happy we are going back to WL.
My husband loves WL, too...and now that WDWKOOK informed me that WL CL is the same price as CR Tower, it's looking even better
Good pics of MSEP, I am looking forward to seeing it again,nice memory of seeing it during our first trip in'89 and just looking at the pics I can hear the music from it in my head.
My sister marched in that parade with her highschool band back in the early 90s.n I'll be anxious to see how you compare the two...Spectro & Electrical...let us know when you get back
Animal Kingdom I lke the park it just always seems so hot and so crowded whenever I have visited it. We had decided to skip it in October then after changeing resorts to WL we decided to head there again and made an ADR for Yak & Yeti. We have never ate there, your review and pics of it are great. A few days ago DH and I were again considering skipping AK now after looking at your pics of AK I do not know what to do
I tell ya...DH and I were just talking last night about AK...he likes the park, me on the other hand can take it or leave it ...HOWEVER...like I told DisneyDoc, it's growing on me. They definitely have some great shows...Nemo, Lion King. And then we LOVE Yak & Yeti. Maybe you could go for half a day
I have a book of hidden mickeys DH bought me this past Christmas, I am tempted to take it along on our trip since it does seems like something fun and we have never done it even when we went with our boys.
It is fun!!! Really! And there are tons of Mickey's at the resorts. When a cast memeber would see us with the book looking around, they usually came over and helped us out
I have a question is the Kobe Beef burger still on the menu at Yak & Yeti? DH wants to try it but some menus I have seen have it listed and some don't?Great Updates!
DH thinks that it was because he debated on it. You just gave me an idea...next time we're at WDW, I'm going to take a picture of the menu...then I can remember!
And you are so right about those lines....maybe you can skip them if she sees them at the character meals. By the way, we loved Akershus and 1900...did those last year and had a great experience!!! She'll love it!!!
Thanks so much! DH and I are having a great time putting it together...kinda like reliving the trip again I hope you like Yak and Yeti...and it doesn't seem to be a hard place to get ressies. They were taking walk-ups the day we were there. Did you already make a reservations or are you gonna chance it? And wow.....you only have a week!!!!! Lucky you!!! Happy Planning. When you get back, let us know how it went.
Ill have to admit
it was kinda nice to be able to stroll through some of the exhibits without being rushed! We were actually able to read information about the animals and basically just took our time.
Sorry...just a couple more.
he says this about alot of things but they were really really good.
Even EE can be a bit taxing for me these days, especially doing it back-to-back like we did the last trip. However, I still can't pass it up.
I just got caught up on your last two updates: they were great and what amazing pictures.
We ate at yak and yeti and loved it too. I didnt realize they had an upstairs area, how nice. My dh got the fried wontons and he said it was the best thing he ever ate in his life.
They seriously are!!...he's not kidding! And I say that about lots of food, too. We love to try new places and foods, so that statement is frequently heard!
I remember my kids at the time were 4 and 2 and about 4 or 5 they had a complete meltdown by lunchtime. We knew we had to go back and just give them a really long nap. I think sometimes in the planning and excitement of it all I forgot they were only little. Im glad ma hopie was willing to take them back and you got some leisure time to stroll and see new things. Also Im sure your older son really enjoyed the time.
The next time we go, all the kids will be past nap ages (for the most part)...I think it will be a bit easier. And yes...DS10 enjoys time away from the younger two...they get on his nerves after a while...big age difference. That's one reason Pop and DH took him to Disney Quest by himself. I had considered taking him with us for the Princess Half, but he said it would be boring...oh well...guess it will have to be a kid free weekend....secretly this is me....
Great update Heather!
Can you believe I have never done the Jungle Trek? I really should try to do it...your photos are great!
You should do it...of course the kids probably won't enjoy as much as you. Even DS10 didn't appreciate the information as much as us adults...but hey...he's a kid, right?!
I know what you mean about decreasing tolerance for the thrill rides. Nothing used to bother me in my younger days, but not so much anymore. I went on one of the extreme new coasters at SeaWorld and it just about knocked me out for the day.
I'm like you....the operative word being "used to". Years ago on one of our first trips to Disney, I was around 12...my parents let us go by ourselves at MK (what were they thinking, right?!!
Great exit photo of your family at AK! I don't know how you all look so relaxed and refreshed on your way out of Animal Kingdom. I am always sweating bullets by that point!
You're from Canada...I'm from South Georgia...100 degree weather is normal for us
Does your husband have a hard time running when he comes to FL??? I imagine that it would be very different for him.
Great updates! Although I could do without the bats and snakes.
The tigers are always snoozing when I have seen them so will have to try it first thing in the am.
Yak & Yeti has been on my list to try but somehow I haven't yet made it over there. It looks great so maybe this time we will try harder.
Great food! If I was not on the dining plan, I might just order appetizers and dessert...so yummy!
I have a better editor from Nikon, but it's too much trouble to use when doing a TR.Heather -
We are planning on just going for half the day so we can head back to WL and rest up for an evening at MK to see the MSEP and Fireworks and hopefully the dessert party if they ever open the bookings for October
Yum! A friend of mine did the Dessert Party in June...she loved it. Let me know what you think about....we've looked into it, but never done it.
Great idea about taking a pic of the menu.
Not sure why I didn't do that...I'm having trouble remembering what we had...especially at places like CG that has a menu that changes.
I so agree with you about the fantastic photo ops at AK. That is my favorite thing to do there, as I am not a big ride person. Your pictures from AK were just wonderful.
Thanks! I would like to go back... minus children, and just look around and actually read ALL the information about the animals....and of course get some more photos
SO glad I found your Yak & Yeti review!! Yummy! I think I'll definitely be adding it to my "to-do" list.
Glad to have you follow along! Looks like you'll be able to make your ADRs in just a few days, right? Is this you first visit to OKW? Or are y'all DVC people? That resort is a possible contender for our June 2012 trip...not sure which resort we will chooseI just caught up on your Yak & Yeti and Asia updates. Great job on both. And those were some truly wonderful pictures you got in Asia. Yak & Yeti sounds delicious! Maybe one day I'll be able to make myself NOT eat at Flame Tree BBQ so that I could try Yak & Yeti.
