Bit of a rant: I don't really care for this taking-a-photo and then bringing it to the table and trying to charge you 35$ for it.It seems SO WASTEFUL. Seriously, when you turn them down, they just go throw it away??
I am going to start refusing to do the photo.
I feel the same way. What do they do with that hard copy?

The food was fantastic, as always, but overshadowed by characters. There. I said it. In the past, lunch was NOT a character meal and we all agreed that we preferred it without characters. First of all, it's too crowded. The characters barely have any room and you are squeezing around trying to get a photo. Secondly, you are constantly looking around, trying to cram your food in your face or chew before they walk up. Not really relaxing. Then there was the awkwardness. I'm not sure why, but it was just really strange with these characters, Donald in particular. He just kind of stood there and the girls were really uncomfortable.
This was where Savannah finally proclaimed that she preferred face characters more now. It's funny because when she was younger it was the exact opposite! Anyway, we could have done without them, to be honest, and that's ok! I think in the future we will do non-character meals and save meet and greets for around the parks.
I LOVE TH.. but I totally agree with you on how awkward a meal with characters can be. Some are definitely worse than others.
THIS HAPPENS when you have a large lens on your camera and people notice you.

I love this show because instead of birds doing tricks on bicycles, the actual focus is on conservation and birds in their real habitat. They throw in humor with the HUMANS, which works perfectly and makes it a fun show.
I agree! Love the conservation aspect to it.

Ahhhh, my ride! It was fabulous, as ever, and when we got off the verdict was in! She liked it!!!
Good thing since I NEVER just do EE once. Around we went and into standby, which was a 15 minute wait...but it wasn't. It was practically walk-on. Late February on a Monday at AK at 3pm...love it.![]()
Glad she liked it


PW was fun and jerky, as always.
I really enjoy PW... not everyone does. I have a hard time getting my family to ride it with me.
The girls were ready to use their 3pm FP's for Kali River, so we headed over there. I opted not to go, I always get soaked and I couldn't take the camera. I went to the bridge where you can watch people go by, I actually had no recollection of this area...we hadn't gone on Kali since our first visit, always go when it's under refurb in the winter.
I have not been on Kali in so very long. I am not a fan of getting wet. The girls wanted to get more wet?
