Sounds like a fun AK day! Even though you didn't see that many animals on the safari, it sounds like it was a unique ride.
Dear Kathy,
Last night I dreamed you had finished your TR (although I protested internally that you had just started at AK). I was very embarassed as I am still on my first day, and I have neither children nor a spouse to keep me off the DIS.
See, your subconscious mind is telling you to get going!
What do you mean leaving us with that cliff-hanger??????
That is a very cool picture of the elephant playing with the log!
We enjoyed FOW show too....and I'm scared of birds! It was something fun to see, even though we may not go back every visit.
Sweet pic of you and Billy!
That show would give me nightmares. I sit though the one at our local zoo every summer for Aisling benefit. It's horrible! I'm so glad that you guys had such a calm relaxing day at AK. Wasn't it so nice not to have to rush around?!?! Sorry you didn't get to try Y&Y. It is yummy. Maybe on a future trip!
You got some great scenery shots of AK by the way. Nice job!!!
And thank you for the photography compliment... I know that you actually know what you are doing along those lines. I just point, shoot, and pray!I'm going with parade
I think you guys did pretty well for the hot afternoon.
I'll echo the other guesses that it was a parade that stopped you.
What a great afternoon at AK! I LOVE me a lazy morning and having no plans, just wandering around doing whatever you want....
Glad to read Catie is enjoying AK this time too! I'm glad Catie got to see Animal Kingdom in a different way this trip! I like the animal pics you got, especially the giraffes!
Ah, got behind again! Real life has been throwing this family around lately.
I'm going with DeVine. At least I hope so, because I'd love to see more pictures of her.
The parade was at 3:45 I think so that was over and done. We asked about DeVine after we rode the Safari and the CM we talked to said she was gone for the day. I think Billy wanted to ride something.
... our Christmas Vacation coundown ticker!
Seems that Ed and Eddie were reading my report together while they were talking on the phone last night (say what?) and they both noticed that the ticker was, quote, "wrong!" Ed told Eddie that it was probably nothing... that knowing me, I would probably change things around a dozen times or so until I was happy (also a quote.)
Apparently Eddie is more excited about going to WDW and staying in a treehouse than he let on and was disappointed at the thought of not going with the family. Then Ed said that Billy and Tricia would be disappointed, too...
Okay, boys, go ahead.
Twist my arm.
I'll move our vacation up two months... just for you.

You had some good valid points about changing it back to Feb, there is a LOT of people/stimulation during that week...but, do you think if you prepare Billy for that he will be OK?Not sure what would have stopped you. Perhaps a character Meet n' Greet...Frozen Lemonades?
We went on the Safari a little earlier in the afternoon and we were surprised to walk right on without any wait. It was a great day at the Animal Kingdom!
Thanks, Nancy, you just reminded me of something very important that I forgot to mention.....Congratulations!! Hey, two months sooner is two months sooner!!
The treehouses look great, can't wait to hear how you like them.
Like I said, they really had to twist my arm!I saw your changed ticker on Jamie's report and had to buzz over here to see what happened! Sounds like the whole family is on board with the Christmas/NYE trip!!
And if you guys can get up EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARLY (7:00 am was RD!) then you will pretty much avoid that. Do RD then leave around noon and you'll be good! Or do late nights. When we went for evening EMH, it was quiet and many of the rides were walk-ons....as you'll find out as my TR goes on.
Aye aye aye!!
Kathy
I think mornings with Billy sounds like a good idea. Abby and I spent the afternoon at Animal Kingdom and we had a great time together! Spending some time with just one of the kids is fun! It has a different dynamic than being with the whole family. Those tree houses look like a lot of fun to me!
