[scottny]

So I am supposed to be WORKING on this computer this morning ---- but I needed a Disney fix (bad!)and your report definitely did the trick I have to say how *fabulous* your pics are! Love the commentary, too. I am almost sad to be caught up ... can't wait for more

I'm glad I could help. We are approaching the end but not quite yet so stay tuned. thank you for reading.

"Ok so it is our last full day at WDW. But hey we will make the most of it. Today is an Animal Kingdom day. It is also a divided up day with the cast."

Oh no! If this is your last day, that means your TR is almost over...I don't want it to end! I can't wait to hear about EE! Awesoe ride!

What kind of camera do you use? These pictures are so good! I love the Fantasmic ones! My camera is great in the day...but it stinks at night!

Just read 11 pages --

great job with the TR - and I enjoyed your pics, too !

 

[tksbaskets]

Fun! I'm looking forward to the next installment!

 

[MRNsMommy]

Another great installment! I love how you and Biff just look so non-chalant in the Dino pic! Like, "Yeah, big scary dinosaur. We're not scared." Great pic!

Kimmy - "Oh no! If this is your last day, that means your TR is almost over...I don't want it to end! I can't wait to hear about EE! Awesoe ride!"
yes it is but we have probably 2 or 3 installments till it is over. I loved EE but let's not jump ahead.

I have the olympus evolt 500. I like it, i'm up to about 8000 pics with it. I think around Christmas I am going to upgrade tot he evolt 510 which has a live view. the battery life on this camera was fantastic i took over 500 pics 1 day and never lost the battery. I went back to POR to shower and just charged it for 45 - 60 minutes and went off again. Night time shots r tricky with it though. Some r ok others r not.

shannon47142 - "Once again, great pictures"
Thank you once again.

Dixielady908 - "Still enjoying your report....I have to say I did get a good laugh at the lady sitting in the front.....now I don't know if that was a true expression or put on, but I have to say it is funny.....LOL"
Thank you. I think it was real they had no idea what to expect. someone screamed bloody murder the entire ride. Not sure who.

dvc at last - "Just read 11 pages -- great job with the TR - and I enjoyed your pics, too !"
thank you for reading.

tksbaskets - "Fun! I'm looking forward to the next installment!"
Thanks should be up some time tomorrow.

MRNsMommy - "Another great installment! I love how you and Biff just look so non-chalant in the Dino pic! Like, "Yeah, big scary dinosaur. We're not scared." Great pic!"
Thank you. I knew it was coming. i did not tell MZ as you can see.

Great update, I just love all of your pictures. I can't wait to hear about Everest and if Biff went on and if he did I can't wait to see a funny ride photo

 

[mdsouth]

Great trip report! I really liked all the pictures and comments, just the right combo! You commentary really added to the pictures without going overboard!

I too, got a kick out of the photo ride pictures. The bugged eyed lady was a hot, especially with the non-chalant Biff sitting right behind her. I have to say Scotty, it looks like you might have been holding in your lunch in this picture.

 

[Miss Mo]

Fantastic Report Scotty!!!! Checking all your pics to make sure I'm not in the background!! hehe!!

Port Orleans was fabulous!! We were in Magnolia Terrace so practically neighbours - need to go check my photos now to see if you are there!! We are in Disney mourning here!! No idea how many years it'll be before we get back there but it was a FABULOUS holiday!!

Hello, I love your TR! You have so many great pictures, and I thought the ones of the MK Parade at night were fantastic! Good Job

tink_about_it - "What kind of camera do you use? These pictures are so good! I love the Fantasmic ones! My camera is great in the day...but it stinks at night!":

Well...they are great! Your report is so fun to read! We were there the same time!

Lifelong_Dreamer - "Great update, I just love all of your pictures. I can't wait to hear about Everest and if Biff went on and if he did I can't wait to see a funny ride photo"
Thank you. That is coming up in about a half an hour I think.

Thank you. I am trying to be fun but not overboard so glad it is working. No I knew it was coming but it did startle me for a second. that light is blinding.

Thank you. If you were I hope you were smiling. PO was fantastic, I loved it so much. if I am cut me out please. I hate my photo being taken except for at Disney. I will be back next year just trying to figure out when. I could not go years without going back ever again.

HKinDC - "Hello, I love your TR! You have so many great pictures, and I thought the ones of the MK Parade at night were fantastic! Good Job"
Hello and thank you for reading.

tink_about_it - "Well...they are great! Your report is so fun to read! We were there the same time!"
thank you. I was very surprised by the lack of crowds for that time of year. I was expecting a lot worse. Guess we were lucky.

Ok so after Dinosaur we headed over to "Everest" for out FP. No pics for this installment here.
We get there and Biff had chickened out. he says he knows it goes backwards and he cannot do it. Ok fine so we go and get in line for the fp's. It is long and not moving. then we hear it has broken down. We stand there and decide to give it 10 or 15 minutes. At this time we see this go by, (only pics from this time frame).

I was so mad I did not have my camera. Biff was holding it for me.
So EZ snapped them while we waited for EE.
Ok so not we r about 4 minutes into our wait and I look up and what is that -- a train going up the hill. So now the fp line is moving and within a minute we r on the ride. When we were going through all I heard was "get the fp line through" "get them all on first" NICE!!!

Ok so we rode and WOW what a fantastic ride. I loved the feeling of going backwards.. Fantastic.
So no pic here cause when we got off Biff was looking at the pic but I had a 1 second glimpse before it was taken away. It was so fast and I have no idea why. No time to even look at it.

So now we head over to.

Hello Komodo Dragon, pleasure to meet you.

Ok so now we walk further and I go into the bat section.

MZ and EZ come in and I turn and say where is Biff, he walked right past. I forgot he hates things with wings. We walk down a street and more than 5 pigeons on the sidewalk he has to cross the street. so no way he was going into the bat room.

Lions, tigers and bears oh..wait only tigers ok let's go.

he was shy or hot.

then we proceed to this

Then we walked some more and the detail is amazing I think.

look out Biff. this guy was behind an enclosure.

more detail.

con't.......

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I don't blame him, bats are way creepy. I am famous for my bat freakouts. I work at an old university and the bats love to come out at night and sometimes will fly around inside the building. My scream was once described as blood curdling by somebody who was outside of the building in a car and heard me scream when a bat was flying around me. So I completely understand people not wanting to go into the bat room!

 

[randy4au]

Scott, I'm really enjoying the Animal Kingdom pics since we missed so much of that park due to leaving early. Looking forward to the next installment!

BTW, what's up with Biff's fear of things with wings? Now I admit that I'm not too fond of bats, but fear of birds is certainly not very common. Did Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds scar him for life?

 

[scottny]

Ok so as we are going to head out we pass some more things.

Now this section also Biff walked right through cause the birds were allowed to walk free.
EZ asked me to take a pic of this one, hidden so cannot see all too well.

I thought this was pretty.

this little guy was begging for a photo to be taken, so i did.

more detail on the way out.

I just find all the little things amazing.

Someone wants to go back to the hotel.

So we start walking toward the exit.

I thought this was pretty.

At this point I am on my own. they are way ahead of me as I stop to take to take pics.

Then I ran into these guy's. just making as much noise as possible.

This sign is allover the place and it is so true.

A little help with the spot for your bus.

here we are.

And here it is.

Now Biff and I were going to go to MK and do some rides but it was HOT and I wanted to swim so went back to POR.

I will stop here coming up a brief update on the others for the morning then our Grand Gathering Safari Dinner.

Thank you. next time there is so much more I need to see. I have no idea why but he certainly does not like them.

Well that would have scared me also. I do not mind bats now put a rat in front of me and I become a 5 year old girl.
I hate when they pop out of no where when I walk down the street.
