[KatMark]

Michelle, what a great update. That drinks yummy...will have to give that a try. We've never seen the Nemo show...one of these days we will get there.

 

[klacey1]

Happy belated birthday!! You share the day with our doggy, and my mom as well. Hope you had a great special day
Glad your Mom enjoyed ITTBAB! It's a great show-- sorry Everrest wasn't her favorite.
I love the shot you got of the tiger yawning! It's adorable!

 

[Disneygrl36]

Ok another to do: drink at the Dawa bar & a pretzel yummo!
I love Nemo ! It's just so colorful.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

What a nice wrap up to your AK day. A drink and a pretzel? Yes please!! We also have never seen the Nemo show so maybe next time.

 

[KathyRN137]

Great Nemo pix... mine never come out!

You're having such a great trip... I'm so happy for you & Mom!

Hey, I just booked CSR for my birthday weekend, so talk about the resort whenever you can!

Hey! I made it over after all and am all caught up. I am so having one of those drinks as well. And a spicy pretzel too. Those rooms at CSR look super relaxing. I may to consider it in the future.

 

[disneydusted]

I will have to check out that pretzel! We are having lunch at the Yak and Yeti so maybe I will get it to keep for later in the day.
People are funny with their kids.... screaming ones don't quite appeal to me. You were nice to not give them the "look".
Reading your TR is getting me more excited for our trip, can't quite believe we are going back.
Good for your mom trying out EE! What a good sport!

Doing a happy dance in honor of your Lost on Safari!!!

Aren't they just delish???

The thought of sitting there and sipping one while the drummers perform sounds so divine!

CP, I was JUST thinking the same thing!!! AND I am so glad you tried one with the pretzel -- that is a perfect snack attack in my book!!!! It is the only way to watch the parade in my book!

Okay, so Michelle, I missed your second post on the Flights of Wonder, and I missed (between all my school chaos this week) that it was your birthday, so HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! And wow to all the shot you got of NEMO!!! AMAZING! I am trying to get my "surprise" together for my kids this weekend... can I steal a few Nemo shots from your TR?? MeMom took some special pics for me at DHS, now I can use a few to fill in the things I don't have... I hope that is okay! Your TR has been so fun to read!

OH and I love the Jim Shore! I collect his Santas -- if I started down the Disney path it would be a bad bad thing Almost as bad as Vera...

 

[SoonerGirl]

Is the Dawa bar in Africa? I am having a terrible time picturing where it is (the reason I have never tried this heavenly sounding drink!!)

Yup, right next to Tusker House

Doing a happy dance in honor of your Lost on Safari!!!

Aren't they just delish???

The thought of sitting there and sipping one while the drummers perform sounds so divine!

Yay for the Lost on Safari! I'm so glad you and HD made me aware of that yummy concoction

It was really nice to take a break in the shade and enjoy our drinks, and the drummers were a nice little bonus!

Happy Belated Birthday Michelle!!!

What a sweet gift your mom got you! How thoughtful!

You know, I have never seen Flights of Wonder! I wanted to see that this year, but wasn't able to accomplish it. Next trip for sure!

Can't wait to see how she likes her ride in your next post!

Thanks Trish!

I love my Jim Shore pieces

Yep, just put Flights of Wonder on your list for next time - there's always a reason to go back

I already posted the update about the ride, guess you missed it, top of pg 15

I've probably said this before, but you are so good at taking pictures! My Nemo ones didn't turn out at all. Yours are fantastic! And be sure to add Duct Tape to your don't forget to take to Disney list! I can't stand when parents think it's funny or cute when their kids act like that. I guess that is the kindergarten teacher in me coming out...if they think it's cute at home, then the kids act like that at school and don't understand why I don't think it's cute. Glad you enjoyed the show anyway and at least it was a break in the AC!

Thanks Kayce, I love my camera, it really does make talking nice pictures easy.

Excited kids don't bother me in the slightest, I love watching the little ones before the Nemo show when he starts appearing in the different bubbles, seeing their excitement and smiles makes me smile. But, these kids weren't like that, they were just screaming, and Dad would laugh and say 'that's fun huh buddy?'

Michelle, what a great update. That drinks yummy...will have to give that a try. We've never seen the Nemo show...one of these days we will get there.

So much you still need to do at AK Kathy! Make yourself a list and start marking things off a little at a time

 

[SoonerGirl]

Happy belated birthday!! You share the day with our doggy, and my mom as well. Hope you had a great special day
Glad your Mom enjoyed ITTBAB! It's a great show-- sorry Everrest wasn't her favorite.
I love the shot you got of the tiger yawning! It's adorable!

Thanks Kylie! Your pup and mom were born on a great day

Isn't ITTBAB fun? I didn't tell Mom anything about it going in, just that it was a 3D show, that way she would be surprised by all of the effects.

I don't think she hated EE, I think it may have been just a bit too much for her

That Tiger looks almost cuddly doesn't he?

Ok another to do: drink at the Dawa bar & a pretzel yummo!
I love Nemo ! It's just so colorful.

I've got your whole solo AK day already planned for you! Now you just need some specifics on the conference so you can put your plans into motion!

What a nice wrap up to your AK day. A drink and a pretzel? Yes please!! We also have never seen the Nemo show so maybe next time.

It's nice to always have a reason to go back

Great Nemo pix... mine never come out!

Kathy

I get a lot of blurry Nemo pics as well, it's a crap shoot for me really and I just get lucky with some

Other than the heat, which our bodies were totally not ready for, and the unexpected crowds, we did have a great time - we just had to adjust to it!

We didn't spend a ton of time at the resort, but I'll do what I can

 

[SoonerGirl]

Hey there Marna! I so happy you took time away from your busy packing schedule to come over here

Add them to your list - you won't be sorry!

CSR was nice, the queen beds make it a super nice choice for a moderate

I will have to check out that pretzel! We are having lunch at the Yak and Yeti so maybe I will get it to keep for later in the day.

Good for your mom trying out EE! What a good sport!

There are several stands that sell those pretzels, if you decide you want one, you'll be able to find it

Believe me, it was all I could do not to turn around and give them the 'look'

Are you writing a PTR? I'd love to follow along with your plans!

CP, I was JUST thinking the same thing!!! AND I am so glad you tried one with the pretzel -- that is a perfect snack attack in my book!!!! It is the only way to watch the parade in my book!

Many thanks to you and Jackie for telling me about the Lost on Safari - it will be on the 'must have' list from now on!

Thanks for the birthday wishes! You're getting closer to the end of school, our last day was Tuesday - I'm so glad they are out.

Take as many Nemo pics as you want! I can't wait to read about your surprise!

All of my Jim Shore was Christmas stuff before these, now I fear I'm going to have to start a whole new collection......

 

[wdwgirl03]

Great update! Love the Nemo pictures. That drink does look really good.

Kudos to your mom for conquering the Yeti!

Can't wait to find out where you went for dinner in Epcot.

 

[praisehisname]

Happy belated birthday! I love the Jim Shore pieces you got from your mom for planning the trip!

Sounds like a really good day in AK, despite the heat. You got to see a lot; so glad your mom enjoyed it!

 

[kate_wdw]

Subbing. I enjoyed your last TR and am looking forward to reading this one as well!

 

[ladybugmom]

Hi Michelle!! I'm back and all caught up!! Happy belated birthday!! I just LOVE the Jim Shore figurines that your mom got you for planning your trip!! I've never seen either one before! Glad you got to see both FOTLK and the Nemo shows!! They are both GREAT!! And that pretzel looks sooo yummy!!
