How Cool is This? I'm DISing from MK!

[DVCLiz]

Welcome to dinner in Morocco! I'm having lemon chicken, and some very good yellow rice. If you are not an adventurous eater but you want to try Morocco, this is a good mild choice. Baked chicken is pretty much baked chicken everywhere in the world.

The musicians are tuning up and in a minute, you are going to have some real time belly dancing to enjoy. She was out shakin' it with Mo Rockin' a little while ago. It was a battle of the bands of sorts, since Starship was belting out "We Built This City" a few countries away.

I had a lovely afternoon in the Seas. It must be made of lead - no cell reception at all inside. That, or AT&T sucks as much in Florida as they do at home.

It was nice to sit and watch the manatees and dolphins as long as I wanted to, which was about two minutes each. But I could have done It longer if I had wanted to!!

I'm having the Bastilla for dessert - layers of pastry with vanilla ice cream and almonds. I think I remember it has some honey, too. We'll find out in a minute.

It's freezing in here - I wish I had a sweater. Ah, here comes the dancer. Goodness, she has nice posture!!! And she is very limber, too. Many dads are suddenly perking up - too funny!

Dessert is not made with honey, and it's vanilla cream, not vanilla ice cream. Still, it's very good!!

A little girl in full BBB regalia is dancing with the belly dancer. Her mom just yelled, "Get the camera!" to her husband. I hope they got the shot.

It's very "Casablancaish" inside Marrakesh. It's a fun experience.

I've tried to edit that post three times and I STILL can't fix all the mistakes. Oh well, you know what I'm trying to say!

DDE savings tonight was 6.28. When I get home I'm going to add them up and see if I've broken even.

OK, outside to warm up and see Illuminations!

 

[hinodis]

I'm having such a great time on your vacation!

 

[DVCLiz]

Thanks - I'm having fun, too. Illuminations was great. I stood at the rail to the left of the Friendship dock nearest to Canada. This is a great unobstructed view, but I had to stake it out for a full hour. Do you know how boring that is? It would have been the perfect time to DIS but the battery was low. This thing eats a charge.

I think I'm going to sleep in tomorrow. I don't know what "we'll" do - no real plans until dinner. I still have Tomorrowland and Fantasyland at MK, the Safari and Finding Nemo at Animal Kingdom, and most of World Showcase to see, plus all of MGM. I leave Tuesday afternoon. So "our" vacation has 3 1/2 days left! Hope I can fit everything in without dropping from exhaustion. Hence the sleeping in.

Night night!

HELLO?? Are you still in EPCOT?? How is the F&W crowd?? My DD and I will be in Epcot next Friday for our FIRST F&W Festival!! Thanks for the updates!! Joan

 

[js]

ohhh, I can't wait until I see where "we'll" be tomorrow
I've been following your post since the beginning. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your vacation to give us all a little smile and sigh.
I have to get up early tomorrow but you sleep in. We have lots of ground to cover tomorrow Enjoy your night.
ps, Where are we eating on Saturday?

 

[DVCLiz]

The F&W crowd was just gearing up as I was leaving. Epcot had EMH hours until midnight, but I had to call it a night after Illuminations.

Tomorrow's dinner will be at the 50s Prime Tme Cafe - hope you like fried chicken!

I loved reading this thread! I'm getting so excited for our trip - less than three weeks now!

Have a great time!!!

 

[odd1]

This is such fun! If I had an iphone I'd do the same thing (on a solo trip) -- it's a cool way to share the fun with friends! I love walking around by myself -- I can zip from attraction to attraction w/out consulting someone else or being inconvenienced by someone else's bladder issues. Can you tell I'm a mom???? LOL

Can't wait to see what we're going to do today!

 

[DVCLiz]

Or maybe we won't sleep in!

Parents of young children - let's make a rule, shall we? "If you can see someone's hotel room door from where you are, you should use a quiet voice. When you get in your car or on the bus, THEN you can use a loud voice." Is that too much to ask?

Anyway, let's go see who else is awake on the Savannah this morning!

 

[Joan S.]

Good Morning Liz, Do you ride EE?? I only rode it once and LOVED it! I am hoping to ride it again next week. I will only have my DD(23) with me,so we will be PARK HOPPING!! Have fun at the AK,hope it is not too hot there?? Joan

 

[miss missy]

I am sooo jealous I hope you have a great time tho I will be there in a couple weeks, so maybe I should hush up LOL

There was a 40 minute wait for the Safari, so I got a FP and now I'm walking the Pangani trail. I'm in front of the lowland gorilla exhibit. There are two gorillas here - the male silverback - magnificent! - and a young female. The meerkats are adorable - one is on sentry duty as the others are foraging. Too bad they are apparently very vicious and will take parts of your finger off. Not a great choice for a pet!

Do people not see wildlife very often? There was a big group around a pond a few steps back - looking at ducks. The day I was previously at AK, there was a small crowd gathered around something on one of the walking paths - it was a squirrel. Hey, people, there are GORILLAS and TIGERS just around the corner!!

 

[DVCLiz]

No, no EE for me!

These gorillas are amazing animals. If you have a chance, the walking trails are wonderful.

 

[DVCajun]

Sigh ... dreamin' of AK. Thanks for sharing your day with us! I LOVE the atmosphere at the AK. It has become one of my faves!!

 

[DVCLiz]

OK, who's ready for a real time safari? I'm getting on the truck now...

 

[DVCLiz]

Jambo from the Safari! If I had to choose one attraction in all of WDW as a favorite, I think it would be the Safari. It's just an amazing attraction if you have time to appreciate it. Too often we are racing to get to a ride or show.

Hmm, a little bumpy for typing. Bongos and okapis are out. Hi, greater kudos! And there is a black rhino eating. Many storks are out and about this morning. Hungry, hungry hippos! All in the water today. Careful, Nile crocs ahead! They always look fake to me - but I'm not testing it out.

Now we are onto the Savannah. Ooh, a giraffe! And a Patterson eland hiding. Lots of very cute Tommys are out, some leaping a little.

A few mandrill monkeys are out - scratching themselves. See that elephant? There he is again!

Two baby elephants are wrestling! Just a quick view, but how neat. And a couple more giraffe - one is a baby. Lots of little animals today. No cheetah out, though. A decent view of the female lion, and on the other side white rhinos and zebra. Very cool!

A nice flock of ostrich, and now we are chasing some poachers!!! Oh no - gunfire!!! She is really driving fast!!! Whew, we caught them!!!

Hope you had a good safari. Asanti sana! Kwaheri!

 

[Disneenut]

Talk about a LIVE trip report! How much more LIVE could you get!

Thanks DVCLiz

DeVine is out on the path from Africa to Asia. This is one of the things I think Disney does best. It can't be that expensive to have one CM, a pair of stilts, some plastic ivy and grapes, and some face paint, but DeVine is a huge hit and a great surprise.

I missed the 11:30am Nemo show, so I'll have lunch and get in line about 1:00pm for the 1:45pm show.

How pathetic is this? I' m sitting in Restaurantasauras having a cheeseburger and fries - and I chose my table based on where I could plug in my Iphone, so I could recharge while I ate!!! But I want to be able to entertain myself while I have an hour to wait in line for Nemo.

This is a very good hamburger, btw. I wish my local McDonald's used the same quality of meat!!!

 

[pinkpanther]

This is the best thread ever!! Keep up the awesome work...I am so excited for you (and me, in a bit!)
