The next morning (Friday) our plan was to be at the bus stop for 8:15 for the 9:00 rope drop at Animal Kingdom. DH and I were again up before the wake-up call, and were down at the food court while waiting on the others. He and I split a breakfast platter of eggs, sausage, biscuit, and I think bacon. All I wanted were the eggs and bacon and he was wanting a sausage biscuit so it worked out perfectly. While we were eating, Christy called down to say that they had overslept a bit and would be a little longer than 8:15 leaving. We told them no problem and that we would just take our time with breakfast and see them when they were ready. Jason and Katie went ahead to the bus stop since they had already finished with breakfast and wanted to be sure not to miss the rope drop ceremony. It was around 8:50 when the other 6 of us got to the bus stop and the AK bus was CROWDED this morning!!! No worries - we had all day for this park, so we weren't deterred by the crowd at all. The bus ride was quick and uneventful and while walking into the park, we stopped for a few photopass pics. Okay, I need to add a small "disclaimer" on the 2nd picture here - the photographer told us to hold up our "paws" and growl like a Tiger. Well . . . as with most things in my life, I got a little carried away! Brandon and Christy have had quite a time picking on me about it. 
I snapped a few shots before we went in as well
We enterred the turnstiles around 9:10 and found Jason and Katie there waiting for us - I was really glad that they had made it for the show and didn't feel obligated to wait behind with us. This trip was so awesome in that effect - everyone did what they wanted to and no one got upset or sideways or even questioned it! It was truly a great trip! Here are some pics of us as we headed to Kilamanjaro Safari
Oh, a pic of me and Kim - imagine that
Tried to get a pic of Kyle and Christy over my head, and got this sweet shot instead
Aha, here they are!
Doesn't Katie just look so excited! Every disser needs a dis BFF to share the obsession, don't they?
These drummers inspired a pic that I have of David from later in the day
Almost there . . .

We slowly made our way over to Asia - stopping in some shops here and there.
When we saw the picture Christy was like "Oh, we were supposed to kiss each other!!!!" and Kyle was like, "I thought the guys were doing cornholio????" 
Anyway, it was a good laugh! Jason, Katie, Brandon and I were in one pic together and it came out really cute so we split a package of it
For the next ride I don't remember what our ride picture plan was, but I do remember that Kyle and Christy wouldn't tell anybody what they were doing because it was a "surprise". 
We were a little concerned! 
Turns out that before getting to the big drop, they put water in their mouths and for the picture they look like they're getting sick and water is sphewing out of Kyle's mouth. It looks really funny, and even funnier is that he got the rest of our crew behind him wet! (Don't worry we had the back rows so no innocent riders were harmed 
) It was really funny. By the time we got off of our 2nd spin, it was time for our lunch ADR at Yak & Yeti. We had been going so much that morning, we hadn't even realized how hungry we all were!!! We were seated right away and quickly ordered some appetizers and our entrees. Here's where David's funny lunch story comes in . . . We somehow got on the subject of Kim and David's relationship and David procedes to tell everyone about the first time Kim told him that she loved him. Apparently, she had had a little bit to drink that night and called him on the phone crying and saying, "I have something to tell you . . . I'm not sure how you're gonna take it . . . " (read that like a slurring, crying young woman which is how David told the story) " . . . but I think I love you . . . " 
It was so nice and the weather was still GORGEOUS!!!!
Christy and I were talking about that ride on Kali today at lunch - it's still just as funny as the day it happened! 
We had a great time together - more updates coming soon. 
We took our time at this meal and enjoyed each other's company - and of course laughed at all of the off-handed comments that Kimberly made during the night. I don't remember them all, but I'm sure DH will refresh my memory during our He Said/She Said recap at the end of my TR. The night was a lot of fun, and we left the Boardwalk feeling full and content. Oh, I almost forgot, because of how tired we all were by the time we finished with dinner, we chose to return to Pop via a cab. We split up (4 and 4) and had 2 TOTALLY different experiences as far as cab rides go!!!! Me, DH, Christy and Kyle had a spotlessly clean cab, quiet driver, and a very smooth ride . . . while the other 4 had a "smelly" (I'll spare you the details on what the scent was 
), high paced, life flash before your eyes kind of ride - I'll let Katie expound on that if she should so choose.
