Graduation Celebration, DISNEY style!!!

[racefanof88]

Yea, If I can, I wanna try to meet ya'll out there and go to the party with ya'll, if ya'll want me there That way, we can hook up good, but It would be nice to know so I can arrange for the time off of work. Half days each way or something like that. So.....that's why I was wondering

I don't know how I missed posting to what you said about the Christmas Party . If we want you there?......... You know the answer to that-----OF COURSE we do!!!!! I keep looking every day to see if the AP rates are out yet . I know they wait to see if the hotels are filling up for that time of year before they offer any discounts, but if I can't get a good rate a Disney we will just stay off property.

I'm finding it hard to plan a 2 day trip. Last July we just winged it because it was a last minute trip.

That's good, always good to be wanted. I'll post my last day tomorrow. Gotta start thinking on the october trip, it is hard to plan for 2 days, but with god knows how many people, then you gotta have SOME kind of plan of action!! LOL

Alright, time to finish this TR up. Hate to see it come to an end, but it was a BLAST!!

I left off at breakfast with Donald. The food was excellent, character interaction was awesome, and it was a really good experience all around. So, we head out of breakfast, just little after rope drop for the park, and we hop on the safari. I LOVE the birds in the line for the safari!!! My memory of these guys when we took my dad there, who of course is bald, I always told him those birds made him jealous!! So now they're dad's birds!!!

Got a couple of us on the ride.

Didn't see too many animals, but a few were out.

After the safari, we went to see the gorillas. We have only been thru that trail once, I think with my dad LOL So I wanted to give Syl the full effect of the park, so we did as much as we could. Got a few pics along the way.

I like how this one was mirrored LOL

This is a good one too....had a hard time getting him to pose for this pic!! LOL

and sweet Chrissy!!

everyone enjoyed the skulls LOL

I think I'm at my picture limit, so continued in next post

So, we're on the gorilla trail, and Haden kept asking when will we see the gorillas. Not after we see Timon!! LOL

The Meercats are SOOOO cute!!! Then, we get to the gorillas!!!

we had the big one laying right by the glass!!!

So, i'm trying to get good pictures of the gorilla, playing with the camera and such, I turn around and see this!!

I guess I wore them out!! I got more too!!

The look here says bring on the big rides!!

So, we get done with the gorilla trail, and head over to Rafiki's planet watch. Get in line for the train...and it was about 5 minutes before one came.

We get on the train, and head to see the stuff over there!!! There's some neat educational stuff, and lots of picture opportunities!!

We've been to this area before, and Chris ALWAYS has to get my picture with the dang spider. I HATE spiders, and am deathly afraid of them So even the wall thingie scares me, but Haden comes in to comfort his Kiki!!

They were doing some sort of operation on a deer looking animal, and was showing it on the tv screen thing, we could see it thru the window too. it was neat.

And then we see Rafiki!!

I think i'm gonna have to continue this again, I took quite a few pictures this day!! LOL

So, we saw Rafiki come out, the lines for characters here was REALLY short, so we took advantage!! LOL After Rafiki, we see Jiminy Cricket.

I told these 2 they look more like sisters than mother/daughter!!!

We went outside to pet the animals, and they were all hunkered down in the shade!!

We get back on the train, and Haden had to try my glasses on. I told him he looks cute with glasses!!

We got off, and walked thru the gift shop, and Haden saw a mask.

We went and got a FP for Kali and headed to the other trail to see the tigers. Chris and Tyler had never been on this trail, so it was new for them. On the way, we saw the bats, and for some reason, they kept peeing and pooping in front of us!!! we had 3 of them do that. But they went from upside down, to right side up, did their business, and then back to hanging!! we got a good laugh!!

Then we see the tigers. it was hot, so they were sleeping.

caught a glimpse of this guy drinking.

We saw the birds, and then went and rode Kali. Headed over towards EE, got a fast pass for that, and then went to ride dinosaur, and then eat lunch. After lunch, we had some time left before our FP time, so I took the kids to the play area, and Syl went to smoke. I got a couple of Tyler before my camera died. he tried to become one of the fossils!!

and Tyler got this one of me.

So, after that, we went and rode EE, and everyone loved it, including Haden!! After that, we went and saw It's Tough to be a Bug, and then headed towards FOLK. Had to see that one. Haden thought it was boring until the end when they were doing his dance!! He thought they stole it from him!!! We got out of there, and it was POURING!!! so we waited a few minutes, then made a mad dash for Pizzafari. Got some dinner before the park closed, and then did some shopping. I got Haden a nice noisy toy, I think it was the buzz arm thing, it made some clicking sounds, and Syl sent some dirty looks my way. Sami got a hat for her boyfriend, Tyler got a matchbox bus, and I picked up some earrings to match Chrissy's ring. Handed her the bag outside walking back to the car, and I got screams, and hugs, and I think I saw a tear in there!! LOL We got to the car, and decided to head to our resort gift shop to get some shirts that we only saw there, and use up the rest of our snack credits. I got the Nemo Mine Mine Mine shirt....LOVE that shirt, I actually have them birds as a ringtone on my phone!! Then...we headed home. We were SOOOOO tired, and just UG. Was happy to get home, see the new puppy. They were all alright, and were happy to see us!!

Overall, it was the BEST trip I think I ever had. It was probably the company I had. I really enjoyed Syl, Haden and Chrissy, and we all had a good time. The kids were all good, Just wished Sami would SMILE more in her pictures!!! The next trips up, are next weekend, we're thinking we want to do the Last trip to Endor party at DHS, and Sami's quick birthday trip, then Chris's Niece Amanda in May!!! She's got 2 kids that I'm gonna enjoy then!! Already started buying them stuff. I'll start that PTR after Sami's trip. THanks for sticking with me.....and I hope everyone enjoyed sharing our trip with us!!!!!

I didn't know you had finished up your report I have become the worse disser in the land. . I know you were sad to see the trip come to an end. It is always so hard to leave Disney, but when you are having as much fun as ya'll had it makes it much worse.

I so wish we could take my nieces boys with us one time. Her youngest, Jackson, is the funniest little boy. He gets super excited about a bowl of ice cream and to see his little face light up would be priceless .
