Beautiful safari pictures. I especially like the one of the giraffes in the foliage. What a great way to kick off your day in the AK. That breakfast pizza sounds delish!
And, yes, you look fab for 6 hours of sleep!!!!!
I liked that giraffe pic too. A random shot that miraculously turned out ok. I don't knwo if they have the pizza all the time, or if it was a fluke just for me?
There were many a 6 hour sleep nights. It all went downhill from there.
im going to stick my original answer and hope for bonus points.
darn you guys for beating me to the punch, i was going to say that if i chose to type a title like this, im sure i would spell it wrong and have a whole range of comments from my readers.
Ha! Yeah, Dan, I can see you doing that- and completely not even seeing it!
Perhaps the giraffe pictures are a commentary on the randomness of nature. Looks like a great safari, at least as far as the animals go. Too bad you learned Swahili instead of Portuguese.
I think it was a lucky shot- as are ANY that turn on the bumpymobile.
I was really pleased with this Safari! I learned that the best bet- at least in non-busy times such as Sept. that if you do a Safari first = THEN go to EE, you can easily do both wiht minimal lines. Easy peasy!
I swear every time I go, I'm going to learn, "Sit down and be quiet".
I think I draw the line at cannibalism or opium too!
I have to admit that I've seen some "Ugly Americans" in places too. Don't even think about being young and female and out in public when the Naval ships are in a foreign port.
I have to say that was one time I was embarrassed to be an American.
Being Disney giraffes, maybe they are trained to be "random"
Oh come on, Tammie! A little cannibalism never hurt anyone- well, ok, maybe the eaten. But never the eater.
That kind of behavior from our servicemen is deplorable and certainly puts a stain on all Americans. Don't they learn some sort of code of conduct in Basic Training?? Are there no consequences?? Really!
It would be just like disney to do that!
I love how Disney takes care of its customers. From wishing you a magical day to helping you discover the "that plant" you discovered in the parks. Just another thing that makes Disney great!
The list goes on ad nauseum. The things they do to make things magical almost always outweighs the occassional cranky CM. :yes:
One day I hope to have the self-restraint to tour the park this way. It is so hard to get out of the rush, rush, rush mindset. Also, who can resist running over small children?
The key is to do it solo!! WAY less rush going on there- AND I will say, I did have to make a conscience effort to do it this way. As for running over small children... I have. I am ashamed.
Hmmmmm, this could work. Disney are you listening?
I truly believe they ARE listening- on every issue but this one, which only seems to be getting worse, not better.
Sounds just like something my husband would come up with.
mine too.
I guess they knew that the driver was not going to make them get off in the middle of the ride so why bother with the rules. It is so frustrating when people think only of themselves and show no respect for other people.
Good point! I have seen people removed from the park before, but only AFTER an attraction.
Maybe they had read your PTR on the boards and were trying to prevent their faces from being posted in the disboards for all to see. Maybe next time you should go incognito.
Ha! Maybe so. I've heard the animals are treated VERY well; perhaps they give them all free internet in the back. Oh wait, they have comcast. Nevermind.
Hey Liesa, Great update. I found it interesting that you were glad they showed you a picture of a zebra in case you didn't know, because there aren't any zebras on the safari
we found this out the hard way, as my kids kept asking for the zebras and we never spotted any, they left the ride slightly disappointed and so exiting the safari ride we had inquired about it and were told that "they had to remove them from the safari because they were causing problems with the other animals" They can still be seen at AKL though. Not sure when this happened though
love how immersed into everything you are, and even dressed the part.
WOW! Great story!! I had no idea they were removed for being troublemakers! Maybe they should have named that old TV show, "Leave it to Zebra".
You know... come to think of it, I never even realized they weren't there, and I never missed them. Huh! I guess they have plenty of other fun things to see.
It's the best way to tour the parks- sort of taking on the mindset of what the Imagineers really intended. Everyone's a princess? Wear a tiara. Going on a Safari? Carry a rifle. Hmmm.. maybe that's taking it too far, but you get the idea.
Rocking the safari look! I love how you got in theme and jammed out, clearly the breakfast pizza served you well. Fun update and pictures.
yes, it was all the pizza's fault.
Clearly, it was the African thing to start my day with.
