DH sulks in WDW because 1) He hates walking. 2)He'd rather be taking a nap and 3) He's just always like that haha.
He would fit right in with some our guys. They pick and choose when they are tired and when they are not. If they are heading downtown to their once a trip cigar night (none of them smoke at home, but there is apparently something fun about a DTD cigar shop), then they are definitely
not tired.
My little one has never been a big fan of Rafiki's Planet Watch. Your girls always seem to have such a great time there, we will have to give it another try, although I don't know if we'll have time on our next trip
We do have a good time there, and I could spend a bundle of money at the Out of the Wild gift shop. I think you have to have an interest in animals, though, and most people probably would rather be riding Everest or Dinosaur more than watching a monkey pick bugs off of another monkey.
for memories of Joan at Rafiki's.
I LOVE the different AK merchandise...ironic because it's my least-favorite park! But the different animal beadings and carvings are gorgeous!
I will pretend you didn't 'diss' my park.
AK definitely has unique merchandise. AKL does, as well, and it is much fun to shop at both places.
Great pictures of Rafiki's Planetwatch! I've been to AK 4 times, but only managed to make it there once.
We rarely miss it. Maybe sometimes when we don't get to AK until after procedures time, then we might skip it.
Do you guys have one of these yet? I spotted this on Pinterest and think we will be making one in the future to hold all of our "friends"
Jill sent me that picture a couple of months ago. I think she has plans for John to build one one of these days. They certainly need it! Some of their furry friends have come to live at my house, too. There's no tellling how many we have between us!
I needed a shopping trip this morning! I bet Bella got a mingo beaded animal.
I still haven't made it to Rafiki's and see a procedure. Always have good intentions but never make it on time.
So sorry that the train ride was such a sad one.
Anxious to hear what Jill gives a second chance....
I don't know that I will ever ride that train again and not get that sinking feeling.
I hope you get to see a procedure someday. We have really seen some interesting ones.
Bella & the mingo is too cute!!!
I love the blue Mickey shirt with the zebra print...hmmm I may have to get that!
Also -- we heard yesterday that Taylor will be on the Today show Monday. He got a call from Matt Lauer himself, wanting him on to tell his story.
I bet the family will get even more support financially and otherwise after being on national TV. I hope they are able to live very happy lives in spite of the difficulties.
Cute animal friends! I too like all the merchandise at AK (and AKL). It's not all so generic. AK has such a different atmosphere all together.
Bella and her mingoes.
I have taken to call them mingoes now too. I never say FLAmingo anymore!
I LOVE that zoo "cage"!! It's a super cute way to "control" the animals and still be able to see them all.
Very cool souvenir options that are not smack in your face Disney or Mickey. That's nice to have for some people on your list, and it's nice to have something different for your own self sometimes.
I know what you mean about the mingos. Who says 'fla' any more???
I really enjoyed the last time we headed out to Planet Watch too. I think sometimes people forget it's out there. Lots of neat stuff to see.
I seriously want the same mug. Is AK the only place you can get it? Have you seen it anywhere else MeMom? That's on my October list for sure!!
I don't really recall seing it anywhere else. Maybe at AKL. I am kind of thinking I should break down and get one, but when I think about forking out $12-15 for a mug, I keep backing down.
I need that mug too!! I know it has been around for a while, but I just started drinking coffee this year. So now of course I need a new mug or two on this trip.
I don't drink coffee, but hot chocolate would be good in an AK mug on a cold January morning.
I have that Mickey gnome in my back yard garden. He's very faded though - I need a new one. And Minnie to go along with him....didn't know there was a Minnie gnome!
Bella's pointed toe posing is cracking me up!
I actually saw small Mickey gnomes at Hobby Lobby back in the spring. Bella is also famous for the head tilt these days.
Loved the safari pics. Boy lots of road traffic on that safari. LOVE the close up Giraffe pic.
I also love all the AK shopping pics.
I also have 2 of the Mickey gnomes & they are very faded & chipped. I did not realize they have Minnie either.
Love so much of the AK merchandise. I could easily go broke in that park.
The pic of Bella & Mingo is just precious!
Me, too, on the going broke. I could do a lot of damage to a credit card.
Fun times at Rafikis planet watch. We're big fans of the Tamarins!
I love all the AK merchandise. I don't think I've seen those kitchen wares before, some might have to come home with me on another visit.
What a nice idea to get each girl a beaded animal, that is an awesome souvenir idea!
I would love to take my class to Animal Kingdom. They would go absolutely nuts over the snakes, frog, gorillas, tigers, etc.
You do need one of those mugs! It is just the right size and feel, one of my absolute favorites! Fun update
You are talking me into it...
I haven't been to Rafiki's in years! Enjoyed looking at your pictures.
Loved the blue shirt with the zebra print Mickey on it!
Do you think Reid would like seeing the educational aspects of that area? Or maybe he would say 'no way' to doing any learning on vacation!
I am sitting here having my morning coffee in that very mug!
It does seem to be the 'Official Mug of DIStown', doesn't it?
Hi! Yes I got off of fb! I am following along with all of the updates in lurking mode as usual....but I had to laugh and tell you I spent 5 minutes looking for a lop-sided mickey head in the zucchini, when I realized it was the brownie pic below that you were talking about
