GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN - Update: AK Part 1

[Lynn5700]

Hey girl!! Sounds like you girl had a blast at MNSSHP! I love that parade.

So did you girls like The Wave? Your drinks look so good, as well as the food!!!

Hey Tink! I was just thinking about you today and wondered when you were going to get back so I could read more!

That's a bummer about one of the ladies not wanting to stay for the party. I know that would happen if I tried to get my friends to come to WDW (in general) with me. I would want them to think it was as awesome as I did and would be pretty upset if they didn't.

At least you had a fun time the rest of the night.

Can't wait to hear more!

Glad you enjoyed the Halloween party! I'm not too big on Halloween but we really enjoyed it when we went. We got such a kick out of seeing some of the costumes people were wearing. Some of them were pretty elaborate!

I love Halloween, but this year I was out of town for the actual holiday, so it was great to celebrate it at the party. I think I'll be going to it next year!

We loved the Wave! Excellent recommendation Lynnie! Everybody said it was their favorite restaurant of the whole trip

Good to hear from you Heather! Now I'm wondering when/if you're going to finish your trip report! It was a really good one, so I hope you'll pick it up again soon

Yeah, you do take that chance when you bring other people into your "happy place"....I realized that we disers are quite a special group - not everyone is a child at heart and not everyone "gets" the disney experience. We disers are unique!

BUT this trip was really 99% wonderful so I can get over a little disagreement about the parade, you know? Its pretty minor in the grand scheme of things...plus I got my way and we saw the parade anyways!

Oooh I'm so excited about trying The Wave!

 

[MadilynnsMomma]

Ohh I want to do MNSSHP next year! And I second the fact that next time you go with you DH!

 

[rusafee1183]

Can't wait to hear more! I am going through *serious* Disney withdrawals this week.

I am used to having a trip within 6 months at this point! I have to wait a year from now to be back.

Animal Kingdom - Part 1

After pushing everyone along for rope drop every day, this was the day that I said "you guys tell me what time you want to be there." So we decided to wake up around 8:30 and we got to the park around 9:45.

My tour guide days are over!

I also decided to not do any planning on this day...I wanted a day off you know? So I told my friends that they could pick what they wanted to do and I would tell them how to get there.

First we stopped in a shop to look for a t-shirt for Ariel...she wanted a pink Mickey shirt. We didn't find it at this store.

Everybody was really impressed with the theming at AK. I love it too, there are just so many little details!

Jasmine really took the lead and she decided that we should get FP's for Everest first.

Expedition Everest

We headed to Asia and Expedition Everest and the standby line was short so we picked up FP's and then got into the standby line.

At this point you guys know that Belle is a huge chicken on rides, so it was pre-determined that she would use the chicken exit when we got up to the front. We all tried to convince her to do it, but she was not having any of it!

Ariel, Jasmine and me rode in the front two cars of the ride and it was AWESOME! Yeti moved and everything, that is one cool ride!

Maharajah Jungle Trek

Next we wanted to get FP's for Kali River Rapids, but we couldn't get them yet. So we stopped to look at the monkeys/apes/whatever because Ariel loves them.

Then we moved on to the Maharajah Jungle Trek. I love those flying foxes (aka huge bats) that are in there! But I only got pictures of these little guys

Lunch

By this time we could grab FP's for Kali and we were starting to get hungry so we went to Flame Tree BBQ for some lunch.

Yum! This is one of the best CS values for your DDP points in my opinion! Most of us got ribs and we also enjoyed the key lime pie. Just a tip, sit under the shelters where the fans are, it makes a HUGE difference temperature wise.

Next up: Dinosaur, FOTLK and our safari
