Great report so far...can't wait to read more!
Thank you so much!!!
What a great sounding breakfast! The characters look so cute dressed all in safari wear. Your kids look like they enjoyed themselves, but sound like my older two this trip when it came to the characters. They enjoyed meeting them when they came to the table, but it was more about the food. Ah man, poor Charles. Hoping to hear he felt better quickly. How did the kids react to Dad being absent?
It kind of made me sad about the characters -- they used to be all about them all and this trip, they just really weren't. Like you said, they enjoyed meeting them, but it was more about the food.
Chelsea and Connor truly understand all the ins and outs of Charles' diabetes, so they were completely understanding. Connor even asked what Charles' blood sugar was when he took it.
Tusker House looks like so much fun. This excites me because it's definitely on our ADR list for December! I'm glad to read a rave review.
I'm so sorry Charles had problems with his blood sugar. What a downer for his vacation. So, what does a zebra dome actually taste like? Can you get them anywhere else besides AKL?
It was a lot of fun! You will enjoy it there -- it's cute how it is all themed like a safari outpost with packing gear on the walls and such.
Unfortunately, the heat sometimes wreaks havoc on Charles' blood sugar levels.
Zebra domes are only at AKL -- it is hard to describe exactly -- it is like a small layer cake only so much more delicious!
John, Brooklynn and I ate at Tusker House in october. We really enjoyed the buffet as well. We hope to do it again and this time schedule it for before the park opens.
It was quite tasty, wasn't it? You should definitely schedule a before-park time -- you can be one of the first people on the safari!
All caught up! Great updates! I am with Connor on the fish smell! Eek! LOL!
Sorry about Charles not feeling well! I have low blood sugar and I have to carry protein bars with me, especially when I travel. Hope he felt better to have fun with you all!
Connor is so dramatic!
What kind of protein bars? That's a good idea -- do they have a lot of carbs in them?
Sorry Charles had such a bad morning. Hopefully he feels better and is able to join you guys later. That breakfast is going on my must-do list for next year. We ate at that one years ago when it was at Restaurantosaurus but my dd was scared of the characters and ate not one bite (frustrating because we were paying OOP!). So, we need a do-over! Plus, getting in before opening is so much fun!
Oh, yes, Charles joins up with us later -- he loves Everest and didn't want to miss it.
You definitely need a do-over!
I am so glad I am not the only one that does this! My DH thinks it's crazy that I am running numbers so soon after returning. I want to go again this fall/winter and have it be a surprise for my kids but my district has no fall break, rules about me taking off around holidays and the week after Thanksgiving and Christmas are SO expensive. Not sure dh or the wallet will be able to handle it!!
I am the same way -- and my district doesn't allow days off before or after holidays -- which always puts a crimp in my plans. Why I can't add a day to Labor Day or Columbus Day is beyond me.
I don't think we will be able to afford another trip anytime soon, but I sure wish we could. I have a bad case of the Disney Blues today.
I love the pics from the breakfast. Sorry Charles was feeling cruddy.... and sad you missed Donald. I think we have to eat there next time, Daisy is a big hit in our home!
Thank you! I am sad we missed Donald, too. It doesn't seem right to have gone to Donald's Safari Breakfast and not have a picture with him.
Daisy is so cute in her little safari outfit -- the girls would love meeting her!
You are so right, Animal Kingdom in the morning is soooo peaceful, if only they would lock tha gate at that point...
I agree!
Charles was making me nervous with his blood sugar issue, actually I wondered how his blood sugar was when you came back the night before and he had not had anything to eat. In my world low blood sugar equals instant diva.
I was surprised about that, too. I think eating breakfast and lunch from fast food places kept it from dropping that night.
Oh, yes, when Charles has low blood sugar, I can almost tell a difference in his mood.
The kids cracked me up with those mouth full of food pictures !
Ahuummm and where are those ears we made the special trip to MK for so that we could wear them for every picture ?!
I know! They couldn't even stop eating long enough to have empty mouths for the characters. LOL!
You won't believe it, but Chelsea and Connor said their ears were too hot, and didn't wear them the rest of the week!
Hey CP:
1. I LOVE your early morning AK pictures. They are great!
2. Breakfast at Tusker House sounds great! I remember having breakfast at the old Restaurantsaurus and I loved those characters. I might just have to do breakfast in September, but at the rate I am going with ADR's I may the DxDP soon!
3. Sorry Charles started feeling poorly after breakfast. It must be extremely hard to regulate insulin while at disney world. Having to worry about the timing of everything must be a real pain. I hope he starts feeling better soon! He needs some
Thanks, MEK! Seeing the theming of Tusker House is worth doing the breakfast again, in my opinion! It is hard for him to regulate his insulin when it is really hot, and he is walking a lot. Most of the time we manage pretty well though. There were only a couple of times that were a bit tricky.
What a kid! You can tell that Chelsea is in her element, first full day at the parks
Thanks for joining! I am still trying to plan -- this time non-existent trips that won't happen. LOL!I hope he was able to recover and come to meet you.
