Biff's Enchanted Birthday Trip...Twas' the week before Christmas

[PrincessAlways]

Citricos sounds just wonderful! Glad it lived up to your expectations. I've seen long waits at Maelstrom.
"quackalicious" love that new word!

Your breakfast pictures are so cute! Looks like fun! Hmmm....thinking I might want to add that meal to the trip in June. A fun meal and getting in early to AK sounds good too!

thank you. it was.
you should add it. try to get an 8 am sitting.

great pictures of the tusker house breakfast! we did that last trip and i loved it. i'm not a big breakfast person but the food was DELICIOUS! i will definitely be back there.

thank you, it is my favorite.

Tusker House breakfast and an early morning safari -- that's a little slice of heaven as far as I am concerned. Love, love, love Tusker House -- it was one of my favorite meals last trip. You have reminded me of why I MUST make sure that we do it again!

yes it is
glad I could remind you.

Ok before I post the next installment would all like to see what I got in my email today.

It just came. 5 weeks after the trip. We took the 2nd day. :rotf: At least we got it.

Now back to the tr.

Now we go and board our safari truck. See you all in 2 weeks.

Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick tock

We are back. What a safari it was. I will let the pics talk about it.

All aboard

Crocs (not the wearable kind)

She was the only giraffe out

Mommy and baby, her shadow is all over him.

Clay wall

More elephants

Flamingos

Con't....

 

[scottny]

Then we saw the white rhino

The lioness. That is her head somewhere in there. I have yet to see the lion

Pumba was sleeping

Not sure what these are

With that our safari was over. I really enjoy taking this.

Up next…

We go into a forest

I just got caught up. You got some great shots in China! I see that you and I have the same eye on a lot of stuff...we take a lot of the same pictures. Have you noticed? It's kind of cool.

I've never seen the "Safari Booking Office" area. I like it. That's what I love about Disney. So much attention to detail.

Ya know I just got my Epcot pics today too! What's up with that? I figured we'd never get them...then poof. Here they are.

So did ya'll get the appt with the "Gavin" landlord? I wish I could live next to something like that.

 

[LISAMWDW]

Oh, no, not the last park day already?! It just goes by too fast huh?

I really really liked that breakfast too! We would definitely do it again. I was really debating on doing it due the the poor reviews. But the food was great, the characters were great too! Plus, they had my favorite, chocolate crossiants! Yum!

Biff sure is hanging in there for his worst sick day!

glad your caught up.
great minds...
there is a lot of detail to take in.
that is so weird that they just came today.
he was the owner of the apartment, we are buying it from hi so he will not be there once we move. Not yet, we are waiting for the guy here to get board approval. we should know next week as the board meets on Tuesday.

yes it was.
bad reviews, I am shocked.
he did. it was just a nasty cold.

So after our 2-week safari we decided to walk the forest trail.

I certainly will

I think a hippo is in there

Next we decided to Raifiki’s.

Some of the pens you see on the way

Almost there

Walking up

Once we got inside guess who came out.

Christmas tree there.

I love how everything was decorated.

Then we headed back.

And we were back.

Going to stop here.

Up next..

Bugs are everywhere

scott we just got our epcot kodak photo as well, i thought it was junk mail and almost deleted it, i wonder why it took them so long.

 

[tazdev3225]

I love all the animal pictures. My DGS didn't want to do any of that on our last trip. He said if you've seen one animal you've seen them all. He goes to our zoo quite often. I think it's another must do this trip since I have a new camera.

 

[troobabiee7]

Oh no, I feel so bad that Biff wasn't feeling well! It's the worst being sick, especially when you're trying to have fun and run around on vacation. I hope he felt better soon!

I'm glad you liked Tusker House! We're going for the first time this summer, but we're going for the buffet lunch. The restaurant looks gorgeous!

Great safari pics too

 

[Happy Elf]

Great updates! The safari pictures are great. I enjoyed the conservation station as well. I've added that to the list of must see in June. We have never made it there.

 

[MeMom]

A safari was a great way to start my weekend. Thanks for all the good pictures!

I could go on the safari every day of a Disney trip and be very happy.

 

[pamouselover]

Scott that is funny, DH and I never got the one we did with pirate hat son. Maybe I will get it!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Tusker house sounded great. I hate that stampede into AK at rope drop. For some reason it feels like the worst of them all. I will have to look into an early ADR at Tusker.
What's the juice like? I loved the juice at O'hana's is it like that?

it is strange how late they are.

thank you.
oh it different than a zoo. we have the Bronx Zoo here and I prefer AK.
look forward to seeing the pics.

thank you

never been to rope drop there.
'Ohanas is good but TH is better.

So as I said there were bugs everywhere. We walked around a bit and just missed Nemo I have yet to see it. We then came upon ITTBAB and look at the time.

I love walking through this queue. There was no one behind us so I took some pics.

Then we made it inside.

I love this show. It cracks me up. Biff did not feel the back surprise. I have no idea why. I did.

Then we left here and headed over to Camp Minnie Mickey

On the way we passed these two fellas.

We made it.

I am going to stop so I can post the pp pics next.

Up next…

We meet some characters.

Yes I know! Took a long time didn't it? I did one of these a couple of years ago and it was a little tiny print. This time they were decent sized. Much better.

Good luck with the new place. I hope you guys get it.

Loving all those new TOL pics! I'm amazed at that tree...There's some great art in there.

 

[Charleston Princess]

So, is ITTBAB as bad as everyone says -- meaning the icky bug factor? Will my family freak out with all the bugs in it?

 

[troobabiee7]

Aw, those parrots are so cute! I know a lot of people on here have bird phobias but I LOVE birds! I grew up with a Cockatiel named TeePee and I was the only one he'd let pick him up and play with him. He was my little baby for over 10-years so I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for birds

LOVE the bug-eyed glasses picture! I have the worst bug phobia EVER and was afraid of seeing the show on our first trip, but was very happy to see that it was all cartoons and nothing too bad!
