Going through the pictures and processing them is taking some time and holding up my TR postings. So I thought between the updates I would share the pics that I've finished to give a preview of things to come! 
). They have some interesting menu items to choose from. And there had plenty of space! During this trip, we had gotten in the habit of eating in this one corner adjacent to the Ink and Paint Shop where it was always empty. This morning I got one of their French toast dishes. The French toasts had a hint of Indian spices which I thought was an interesting combination of flavors that worked well. The kids got their Mickey Waffles. Once we finished our breakfasts, we drove to Animal Kingdom and parked after just a 10 minute drive. As we strolled towards the park entrance, the family who had parked next to us and now walking behind us joked that the best way for them to find their car at the end of the day would be to just follow us around all day and when we head back to our car, their car would be the one next to it!
As soon as the rope dropped we walked over to Safari which was practically a walk-on . On our way there, a small group of Japanese tourists were being led by their tour guide who was an American and speaking what sounded to me as extremely fluent Japanese. I looked over to DW and said That might be a job I want to do. DW said "But you don't speak Japanese" to which I replied "Maybe for Koreans then? And I'll get paid to spend my days in Disney!" Although, my Korean has gotten very rusty over the past two decades so it may not be as easy as I think it is. DW looked at me with that uh huh, suuuure look and said Youre not going to be carrying one of those little flags, are you? Everyone heading there with us will be able to walk on the ride this early in the morning at rope drop.
Love your safari pictures- very nice! I have to say that I've always wondered if there are actual termites in those mounds or if they're just decorative. One of life's mysteries, I suppose
) that the termite mounds fall in to the same category as the ostrich eggs since they appear exactly the same each time we go. The very first time I went on Safari years ago I really believed that they were all real. 
You want to be a tour guide??? In theory, it seems like a great idea... getting paid to be in the parks. But when you really thinkg about it, you're saying you want to be one of the most hated people on the DISboards!On our way there, a small group of Japanese tourists were being led by their tour guide who was an American and speaking what sounded to me as extremely fluent Japanese.

The thing is, you probably passed them when they got to the point where they had to unload the stroller and give it to the CMs.

They are now enjoying one each. Ahhh, it feels like we extended the magic just a little longer. 
I really love the Can You Feel the Love Tonight number, and the monkeys are always entertaining. DS's synopsis of the show was pretty funny. Definitely my favorite Disney World stage show!Your FotLK pics came out gorgeous! You must have had really close seats too because they look like they were taken from the stage.
