FRIDAY 12TH OCTOBER ANIMAL KINGDOM

GirlsonTour Trip Report 11th October 2007 – 25th October 2007
Coronado Springs Resort and Hard Rock Hotel


Andrea – chief planner, chief of money (for this holiday) and generally chief of everything.

Andy – chief provider of money and unwilling participant of this holiday

Kara – chief spender of money and very willing participant of this holiday due to the fact that Mum and Dad were paying.

Lucy – chief of all red heads and chief moaner (especially in hot weather).


Gosh my memory isn’t very good because I have already had to dig out the itinerary to see where we went today. Last year I wrote little notes everywhere to remind me about things that we did but I have totally forgot to do that this time!

Lucy with one of the ladies who make your toast at the PM....I took them some Thorntons chocolate as a present and from then on they called us the Candy Girls!

Waiting outside for opening time, rather chilly first thing, but we then had to get a locker to put the jackets in.

As we were first in the line at AK, due to us getting up and out at some ungodly hour, Lucy was chosen to “open” a board by the holding rope in front of The Tree of Life.

It turned out that she was chosen again nearer the end of the holiday to do it again but we gave the “prize” away the second time. It comes in quite useful to have distinctive hair colouring on these occasions:lmao: !! I was hoping that she would have been given VIP for the Nemo Show however it was VIP for the Lion King Show….we were very grateful to Lucy and hence showed her great kindness for the rest of the day which included buying her at least 2 pins during the morning. She is normally limited to 1 from the park during daylight hours and 1 at night ( per day!!!)

Front row at the Lion King Show.

Actually Andy looks quite happy on this photo!:)

On leaving AK there are always the odd distraction.

Now as anyone who read last years report knows Kara and I love sunbathing. Andy and Lucy don’t …..big stumbling block when it comes to holidays. Someone has to compromise all the time (funnily enough it’s always Andy and Lucy!!). So afternoons tended to be a mad dash back to the pool, around 2pm, for the daily intake of rays.

Here's one for Obi and Wayneg!!:rolleyes1

Wasn’t so keen on October’s earlier dark nights. Around about 6pm was the latest that you could sit out until.

Wandered over to the PM for a meal. For anyone interested there is a bar outside now at CSR with live music…well, the same bloke every night playing those dustbin lids!! Last year it seemed that there was only us eating outside however this year everyone ate outside. How dare the Americans pinch our idea of eating Al Fresco…

Don't try the hickory chicken wings, Andy loves hot, spicey food but even they were a bit too much for him!!:rotfl2:

Tomorrow: BB + Fantasmic
 
Is that you or your daughter on the sundbed Andrea?

Thank you - that's very flattering to even think that you think it might be me:lmao: If you see any photo's of someone without any lumps or bumps during my trip reports its Kara!!:rotfl2:
 
Poor Andy's expression is so funny and you'll have Obi and Wayneg drooling over that photo.

Hey! what about us other "old" guys?

Maybe next time we "bump" into you we'll take Lucy off your hands, as a redhead (when I had hair and what is left hadn't turned grey:lmao: ) we know exactly how she feels.
 
Loving your report and your photos are brilliant:thumbsup2
 
Kara, I'd die for your figure, just wait till you turn 40 something luv!!!!!

and Andrea, how come you never have Disney Hair on any of the photos I get to see! :rotfl2: Really must post some of my lovely waterpark pictures, the one that makes me look like a ageing German porn star is particularly flattering!
 
Lovely first day, Andrea, and congrats to Lucy for getting to open the board at AK. Very cool that you got to sit at the front for Lion King. As another fellow redhead I also sympathise with Lucy - sunbathing isn't for us!

Laur's princess:
 
great report Andrea, poor Andys face with those chicken wings!
 
How sweet of you take the PM CM's choccies that lady served us when we stayed there! Great photos and well done to Lucy for being chosen :thumbsup2
 
Kara, I'd die for your figure, just wait till you turn 40 something luv!!!!!

and Andrea, how come you never have Disney Hair on any of the photos I get to see! :rotfl2: Really must post some of my lovely waterpark pictures, the one that makes me look like a ageing German porn star is particularly flattering!

Sharon....to never have bad hair days, Kara and i just follow these basic rules: wash in the morning, tie back wet in a pony tail and then add hair band...repeat again at night time!! Never attempt to dry or straighten hair ever, ever, ever!!!:rotfl:
