I love the Trek setting too. It is beautiful. Glad you started a new PTR...I need to do the same, because my planning is all on index cards scattered all over my desk right now, LOL!
Your Yeti shirts are so cute in all your photos!
I've enjoyed your report. Looking forward to more.
Who are we kidding, you NEVER wake a toddler if you don’t have too!

I was really really far behind and i am getting over to your PTR now..
As always your kids are just adorable!! Pictures are perfect of all of you! I am going to do the jungle trek this time.. We have NEVER done it and i see the theme is unbelievable cannot wait to shoot it. Honestly i have never seen pictures like yours!
Sold me on it!
After it was finished we were all...

Indeed!!!
Bummer about the mickey meet and greet. Glad the meal at Trex was good!@
Great update and end of your day!
We pretty much felt the same about t-Rex--loud, slow, ok food, but very fun. I think we sat in the same area as you guys, but we skipped the dig area. I think we had to get to the lego store!
The girls look pretty awake and happy in the last picture. Sign of a successful day!
There can never be too many pictures of AK, just saying.
I love walking through that trek! The bats are so cool and who doesn't love some tigers! Sorry you didn't get to see a better view of them.
The Nemo show is one of the hidden gems at AK, glad you enjoyed it.
I was wondering how your girls would handle ITTBAB. I've never watched that show without have multiple crying kids around me.
Yum, Flametree! I've never had the ribs but I do really like the chicken. Good thing you found a seat out of the rain so you could enjoy your meal.
That meet with Mickey and Minnie does sound weird. Guess you got some not so good "friends".
I haven't made it to T-Rex yet but it looks good!
There is just something so good about Mickey Rice Crispy treats.
The treks are really cool. Definitely the type of thing that people skip over or don't do as AK can be a "1/2 day park" for people. I think AK is the best park to just wander and take in the atmosphere and theming.
Seeing the Tigers seems to be very hit or miss. Our last trip they were introducing a new tiger so that was the only one out and she was hiding so we didn't even see as much as you did of one. But they are cool when you can see them
The Nemo musical I think is very well done - and the song were written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez of Frozen fame so it has that going for it as well.
Wow, what luck with your timing and avoiding the downpour. Always nice when that works out and you can just take your time eating while waiting for the rain to stop.
I am yet to have a dole whip with alcohol added and that needs to be remedied
Oh gosh, that is always hard to know if you should wake up a toddler or not - we generally are like you and not wake them if we don't have to (even if that means waiting in a parked car in our driveway if they fell asleep on the ride home ... truly the moment smart phones are most appreciated.
Sorry about the awkward M&G - oh well, at least it made you feel better/more sure about not waking Maddie
DISconfession time - I've never ridden Dinosaur. No one else in my group ever wants to ride so we never allocate a fastpass for it and have never gone with a standby wait time that I wouldn't feel bad about going myself. Oh well, someday
We have also never eaten at T-Rex! The animatronic T-Rex near the front freaks my oldest daughter out, plus it is just so loud in there that doesn't appeal. We do enjoy the "sand pit" out front though ... the bone yard in Dinoland at AK uses the same non-sand sand and it is a great idea!
Always fun to watch them make the treats at Goofy's Candy Company!![]()
Love all the updates and pictures! You took some great photos that really show off the awesomeness that is Animal Kingdom.
It really is so beautifully done!
This-
made me laugh out loud... and snort.
Looks like a really fun day!
Our kids LOVED T-Rex. It definitely is loud in there. I think you are right about when to go. We went on arrival night and the atmosphere was exciting and got us pumped for the trip. But I think later in the trip it would have been exhausting.
LOVE all of the pictures! Now I'm totally regretting not taking more time to really enjoy AK last trip. It was just that point in our trip that we were all worn out and I had no energy. Next time I'm going to stop and enjoy it more!
The Yeti shirts are super cute! And great family pictures!
So I totally missed the rest of your AK/DTD updates!
It's good to hear that the Nemo show held everyone's attention. I really would like to try it in May but I was worried about our almost 3-year old being interested enough to sit still-ish!
We have an ADR at TRex for our November trip so I'm glad I got to read your review! The boys love dinosaurs so I know they will be so excited! And that dig area looks like fun!
