Barbie and Ken do Disney Trip Report COMPLETED!!

Today, we woke up excited because we were on our way to Animal Kingdom again! .. As I said before, I LOVE THIS PARK! And now, as I look through all of my pictures from there, it TRULY looks as if we went away to foreign places like Anadapur and Harambe. Its just SO cool! Today we decided to move at a more leisurely pace because we still had some things to see, but we could take our time! This installment will be a lot of pictures because my camera is dead and needs to be charged so today I can only get the pictures from that morning.

Todd ran down and got us some breakfast in bed. Yes I am eating a bagel and a croissant - hey its vacation WHO CARES! haha

Animal Kingdom had early magic hour so we headed on over and made our way of course to EXPEDITION EVEREST again!! This was an AMAZING morning! It was beautiful out and Todd and I decided to ride Everest sitting in the FRONT SEAT every time. We ended up riding 8 times in a row (the very front seat everytime) because for some reason at this hour the park was dead and omgosh, it was amazing!! Since we rode so many times, we had a lot of time to take pictures of some of the awesome theming on this ride! I love love the theming on here. Disney really put some effort into this standby line!

Todd also snapped a picture of our view of the broken track from the very front! The view was SO cool on this ride!!

After all of our rides, we took a break on one of the benches outside of Everest and I called my dad to brag. Our conversation went a little like this.

Me: Good morning Dad!
Dad: Hey sweetie! How are you?
Me: Well Im pretty good.. ya know, the usual... just rode Everest 8 times in a row FRONT SEAT!
Dad: OH YOU LITTLE BRAT IM SO JEALOUS!
Me: hahahahahahaha! What are you doing?
Dad: Nothing that compares to you, you lucky!
Me: hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha muahahahahaha muahahahaha


Im a little evil, but hey I was on an "everest adrenaline rush"!! After I was done gloating to my poor father who was snowed in at home, Todd and I took a little Anadapur photo shoot!

We walked around for a little bit, enjoying the sites, sounds, and smells of this fantastic park. I got a great picture of the Tree Of Life!

We stopped to take pictures with Baloo. He was VERY tall!

After that we decided to go to the Bird Show (which at the time we didn't think would be as wonderful as it was) so we were heading back that way when we bumped in De-Vine!!!

Unfortunately this is where my pictures end, so I cannot send out PART 2 until my camera is charged, but I figured this is better than nothing!!! Next up - the rest of our day at Animal Kingdom - we hit ALL the rest of the rides and shows - pizzafari and I think Boma for dinner .. dont quote me on that one though!!

Thanks for reading!!
 
I loved all your pics and appreciate you posting them.

Everest is a fun ride! I had to ride it by myself because we have a 2 year old and I was sooo scared! I cannot wait to be able to ride with my DH.:goodvibes

I look forward to your next update! :dance3:
 
That is the best picture of De-vine I've ever seen! I didn't even know she had a face from the other pictures of her.... She's really pretty too!
 

How lucky to be at Disney at such a slow time! Riding Everest 8 times in a row! I wish we could go when it was like that!
 
I am caught up again. wow you have been busy! I read MGM's update and then was completly surprised to find Animal Kingdom again.
Isn't Sci-Fi the best? I tell people all the time that pictures do not do the place justice. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you go back to WDW in December. I am going Dec 2007 and then again in Dec 2008, both times within the first 2 weeks (I heard it's the least crowded time to go)would love to be able to say Hi in person.
 
I have a couple more pictures of DeVine so I figured I would share them with everyone!!

Todd and I thought she was AMAZING! Which is probably why we gawked for so long and why I nearly tripped and died attempting to take so many pictures of her!! :goodvibes

Have a good night :grouphug:
 
Wow Blayne, you've been so busy! Lots of great new installments. Love the pics of Devine. EE 8x, my son would be so jealous!
 
Blayne,
Thanks for the update. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU RODE EVEREST 8 TIMES IN THE FRONT SEAT!!!! AMAZING (o.k, I'll admit it, I'm super jealous).
We saw Devine last year and she was amazing, I didn't have my camera handy so I didn't get a pic, so glad you did though, brought a smile to my face seeing her again, it is so cool how she just blends in.
Looking forward to more.

Blayne-When you go back, you gotta ride Expedition Everest in the very last row! On that big drop, I was practically standing up and when you go under the Yeti, his hand is so close to you!
 
Wow, I love EE. It would be great to ride 8 times in a row, In the front seat.
I cant wait to go back .. I hope we get to see devine she is so cool. I have never seen her before, in person. Maybe b/c we have always been moving too fast to get to the next attraction. I think next time we will try to take it easy a little bit as to take in the sights and sounds of AK.

I can't wait to hear all about Boma.
Thanks for sharing Blayne.
 
Thanks for the updates and the really great pics. Especially the ones of DeVine, they are so amazing. Cant wait for more..:thumbsup2
 
Love the latest installment. It makes me so excited to go ride EE :) :) :) Great pics of Devine. My DD just saw her last week and was so psyched. We didn't even know she existed on our last trip LOL and I had to tell DD to be sure and look for her. She was so thrilled to be able to point her out to her classmates ;)
 
Great installment Blayne! I'm so jealous you got to ride it 8 times! We only got on once, but I requested the front row and that was AWESOME! :goodvibes

Can't wait for more!
