Chapter Nineteen, continued:



More Jammin' Jungle Parade....

This frog puppet was awesome!

Yet another parade family...

Here's Donald in person!

Oooh... Hidden Mickey!!

Billy stuck out his hand and Pluto shook it! (I missed the shot, though... Errgh!)

Hmmm... looks like another Hidden Mickey!

​

The parade trailed off and the CMs slowly took down the ropes. We were free to wander the AK. We drifted over the bridge and onto Discovery Island and the girls wanted to stop for a bit o' shopping. The park was closing at five, so we only let them browse for a bit... I'm not even sure if they bought anything. It was fun to look around, though.

Okay, gang! Time to do one more thing before we call it a day and head out. Now, what should it be?

That is so sweet Maddie tells me she misses Disneyworld every so often too

Isn't it great to share the same "Happy Place?"

The mom-and-son MK mornings doesn't sound like too bad of a deal!

Yes... I just have to be careful that the older kids don't stay up late for every evening EMH... we'll wind up taking parallel trips! The morning team and the evening team...

Please tell him thank you for getting you into WDW, Bill and I are very grateful to him for doing that .

Aww, I will! Ed always jokes that he got me in but then I swam to the deep end all by myself!!

I get all behind and try and catch up and remember all the things i want to comment on. But i'm sleepy so.....

Sweet Dreams!

Ahhhh! That's so sweet about Billy's sweet dream. Latley Jonnies been bringing up Disney World every day and he always wants to know when were going back.

That's such a tribute to the magical memories you made!!

Phew - I'm all caught up! What a great, relaxing day at AK! Love that picture of Billy on Everest and the one of the two of you in front of the Africa sign (I always seem to miss that gigantic sign on the bridge....drat...it's a good picture spot)!

It reminds me of the giant doors in King Kong!

sorry Kathy I got way.....behind here on your TR...

but I am enjoying your lesuirly day at AK...I am impressed at how much you have been able to do and see by arriving at 1 pm...all in the timing I guess

great Tiger pictures and love the family group shot in front of the tree...

looking forward to hearing what comes next!

J~

Well, as you will see, we actually arrived at noon... Still, I agree that we were able to do a lot, considering that we were just taking it easy the day after the MNSSHP!

Last year the Jammin' Jingle Parade started on 11/27, the day after Thanksgiving!

Yeti Ride! Yeti Ride! Pleeeeeeasssse?

OH, KATHY! Mom and I were just on the Southwest Vacations website, and found the most AMAZING deal on AKL for the 3 of us...$2900 for 5 nights/6 days...BUT with a FREE $750 Disney gift card, it'd come to $2200!!



Now to sell Dad on the idea...

It'd be July 26-31...just for my birthday!

How's AKL? Is it worth it?

Going to the Boston Globe Travel Show on Saturday...we'll see!!!!

I think that AKL is totally worth it... it's an amazing, completely immersive experience! Good luck with Dad!!

how lovely that you were able to adjust your plans and just enjoy the parade! My non parade loving crew just stands there frustrated and chomping at the bit.

Well, mostly Jeff.

 

[praisehisname]

Expedition Everest!!!

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Talked to Dad...he's 90% convinced, but he needs me to COMPLETELY convince him...

Mom's got me on a mission to talk to him tomorrow morning when he takes me to my retainer refitting.

Please...please...Disney for my birthday, PLEEEEAAAASEEEE!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Expedition Everest would be our choice... (or maybe Dinosaur).

That looks like a really unique parade. And it looks like you guys just walked right up to it... what's the secret? Catching it on the way back around? If we could catch the parade without a long wait, I would definitely consider trying to see it.

My fingers and toes are crossed for you! Good Luck!

It helps when you let some time pass and you haven't seen a particular parade in awhile... and the music for this one is particularly catchy!

Expedition Everest!!!

Not even close!

We did catch it at the end as they were on the way back into Africa... no real crowd at the rope line but there's not a lot of room to walk around the ropes so the parade does tie up foot traffic.

Nope and nope on last ride guesses!

Dad's *almost* convinced...just texted Mom and said that sales at Chuck-E Cheese are WAY up, which could mean a bonus...he said if he does get a bonus, "we could upgrade to a Savannah view room"!

EEEEEEEEP

My Aunt and Uncle (Mom's older sister and brother-in-law) are in on it too...they want to join us...haven't been since their wedding anniversary 5 years ago...

Could it be? A family trip to WDW?

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!

(I'm sorry, I'm totally hijacking your thread...I'm just so excited!)

Did you do the character greets?

 

[jcc0621]

My guess is Kali River Rapids (Sincy your are leaving anyway) or ITTBAB.

 

[MHTeacher]

My guess.....ITTBAB ??

Sounds like you enjoyed the parade. This is one parade we've never seen all of. We've caught glimpses of it and just the end, but never from start to finish. Looks cute!

 

[diznenut12]

I am just now subscribing. I just found your trip report and I am really enjoying reading it.

 

[Halloweenqueen]

My guess...either It's Tough or ICE CREAM!!!

 

[DWGal210]

Phew! I am all caught up!!

You guys are having an awesome time!!! I loved your Halloween costumes, and how nice that you got to meet a fellow DIS family!!

I just love AK - I think it's my favorite park. I could ride Everest all day long!!!
