From Pop to the Top - Funtastic Adventures in the Summer Sun!

[MeMom]

We got really close to these guys.

It was cool to see the baby.

A glimpse of the lions.

Ostriches.

Brooklynn does not like these geysers.

Off the safari, I took over the camera again.

Usually there are people sitting here, so I was glad to get a picture with no people.

Walking around Animal Kingdom.

We saw a sign that told us to:

So we did.

Next time:

Memom, do you have AAA? They're having a special for Tennessee residents right now. 273.99 for a three day hopper with 2 free days! Of course, Trent can get a FL resident 3 day ticket for pretty cheap (or even a seasonal pass).

Go to AAAsouth.com and check out the prices!

I don't, but I am going to go check that out right now. Thanks for the information. Jill used to have AAA, but I don't think she does any more.

Wonderful PP pictures!

You snuck in while I was putting up pictures. I know you guys have had a big and busy week. Did your school girl sleep late this morning?

Those were some great safari pictures! John did good!
Very sweet babies for the girls!
I wonder if Bella will end up liking Belle if we continue to purchase those dollies for her?
Great minds and all!

I hate to say this but with all of the tye dye cheese cake talk, Shocker is getting ideas for some sick pictures...

Take his camera away NOW!!!

As I said, mine isn't the problem. It's Brooklynn's. But I think we're okay with DTD and resort time on Tuesday. We love DTD!

Now I get it. Sign up for the mousesavers newletter and they usually have a special link to undercovertourist.com for special deals on tickets. They usually do 3 days and up but it might be worth a try.

Right now my AAA is giving me gate price. Well shoot I can get that at..... the gate!

The Animal Kingdom pictures were great. Bella was adorable with her Belle doll and her Belle/little Sis shirt.

Mickey and Minnie was up early with their signs. Did they enjoy their early morning walk?

 

[declansdad]

The animals looked really active on the safari. Well all but the animatronic lions of course.

Great update,
I love the dolls you got for Brooklynn & Bella!
And also, the baby rhino is so cute.

We'll probably just get her a one day when we get there. We do get the mousesavers newsletters. We're always on the lookout for good codes.

Mickey and Minnie did much better at waking up than Brooklynn did. She's a slow 'waker upper'.

The animals looked really active on the safari. Well all but the animatronic lions of course.

I guess their battery packs were low that day.
They weren't up and moving.

I thought they were cute when I saw them. We may end up with more if they still have them next summer.

The baby rhino was really cute to see in person.



*********************************

For those of you coming to Atlanta, it has just turned into a DIS meet/birthday meal. Trent texted me a sad face that he wouldn't be with his family on his birthday next Saturday. I told him we would bring a cake and celebrate his birthday on the 11th. It will make a homesick boy smile. So, bring your fork and party hat!

Great safari pictures!!! You were so close to the rhinos too!!!
Cute dolls for cute girls!

Woo hoo for a birthday party DIS meet! Want me to bring any sort of party favors or noise makers? Not to mention that the promise of cake will make my children super excited to meet my "imaginary" DIS friends! Oh, and then in the evening there will be wedding cake! Cake twice in one day -- I am loving it!

Love those dolls, and it looks like Bella really liked hers!

Ah, a morning safari ride complete with giraffes!!!

Can't wait to see if Brooklyn conquers both Dinosaur AND Kali! (Oh, actually, I think I remember the answer to that from Jill's FB posts.)

 

[punkin413]

great safari pictures! always love those. and the baby rhino is precious!

if you think about it e-mail me when you guys decide on where you're meeting for the atlanta meet. i may miss it in the chatter but will keep my eyes open for it. then i'll let you know if that's "doable" for me closer to time.

The video is too cute!!!! Thanks for posting that!! I forget how cute girls are at that age. Brenda is 4 so that was only a few years ago but seems like forever now!

Brooklynn and I before 1900 Park Fare.

Love this picture!! Such a beautiful picture.

I am wondering, though, if we should switch Epcot and MK days. They say F&W crowds get crazy on Saturdays because a lot of locals come and get pretty wild. It might be a lot less crowded and the food kiosk lines would be shorter on a Monday. If we do that, Magic Kingdom is over after Saturday for the rest of the trip, and I wonder if we will be aching to go back for a litle while on Tuesday before we leave.

As others have mentioned, F&W is much busier on the weekends. We went on a Saturday once and it was a MAD HOUSE! Though - I think it was only crazy in the WS and at the various kiosks...I don't remember the ride lines being too bad.

So adorable giving Belle all that lovin'!!


And I had NO IDEA tie-dye cheesecake did that!

I want to go on a safari that just stops the jeep and watches each area for about five solid minutes. It is amazing to see the animals up so close!

We could all bring hats! Mickey ears, maybe? That would make for great pictures! Of course, it's not my mall, so I could do anything without anyone knowing me. You guys may feel differently!

I am thinking I might make cupcakes. Everyone could frost and decorate their own with a different letter of HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and then we could line them up and take a picture. What do you think?

I don't know that anyone has made a decision. The one closest to you is absolutely fine with me. Whatever works for the other Georgia people. We will keep you posted.

What a sweetie pie! I can't remember what she saw that diverted her attention.

The video is too cute!!!! Thanks for posting that!! I forget how cute girls are at that age. Brenda is 4 so that was only a few years ago but seems like forever now!

I thought it was cute when she repeated 'Is it?' when I asked her what it was.

Of course, I think just about everything the little rotten rat does is cute.

Love this picture!! Such a beautiful picture.

I think we'll switch. Magic Kingdom on Saturday and Epcot on Monday will probably work better.

Then Brooklynn and I will run away on Tuesday when it is time to go,
and Jill won't be able to find us,
so she'll have to leave us there,
and we'll just go and live in Magic Kingdom forever.
Problem solved.

I have no shame and no problem wearing Mickey ears at the mall! Of course, if I saw anyone I know, they wouldn't be the least bit surprised!

Perfect!!!

 

[pooksma]

Pssst...let us know where you're going to hideout and we'll bring you some snacks when we come for our surprise stop.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I was behind again and now I'm not.

I love all the photopass pictures, especially the one of Jill & Brooklynn.

I'm not good at giving park ticket advice because I always say go for more.
