"I'm Doing That Again... and AGAIN!" - A May/June 2013 TR

If you only do one thing in Animal Kingdom, it should be FotLK. It's the best Disney show. :goodvibes And I'm like you, head straight to the lion's section every time. Great minds think alike. :rotfl:


You can never have too many photos of the resort grounds. And, really, if people aren't looking at you like you're nuts, then you're just not letting your inner kid out completely. :rotfl2: At least, that's how I look at it.
 
Ahhh I love FOTLK!!! I have to see it in December one last time, because it's closing for a while and I'll be so mad at myself if I don't see it! :rotfl: I tried to watch some of your vines, but they wouldn't work on my phone. I was all set to start crying because that show is just so emotional!:sad:

I still haven't seen the Nemo musical, for some reason it just doesn't interest me! I love Finding Nemo but I can't really think about sitting through a whole show about it! :confused3 Watch, I'll see it someday and it will be my favorite thing ever! :rotfl:

Pop!! I'm so excited to stay there again!! :thumbsup2
 
I feel like no matter where I stay, the bus service is slow, lol. I'm not sure if it's actually true... but it always feels like everyone else has gotten 2 or 3 busses before yours finally shows up. I'm glad your bus service got better when you switched resorts!

Great Chip N Dale interaction! That's a great start to the day!

*hangs head in shame* I STILL have not seen FOTLK. Hopefully next time we go Gavin will be interested in sitting still. I didn't watch your videos of it because I want to be blown away in person.

I also have not seen Finding Nemo the Musical... your pictures are great though, can't wait to see it someday!

I've never stay at the All Stars or eaten there, but I think the food at Pop was really good - a lot of choices anyway. The desserts were amazing!

I'm a little embarassed to admit that I liked all 3 of the HSM movies & music. I don't think I've ever admitted that to anyone...

It has to be Epcot, right?! Yay!
 
FotLK is by far the best show at WDW. It chokes me up everytime!

Love the interaction you got with Chip and Dale. I have only had my picture taken once with them a long time ago but now you make me want to get some more taken with them!
 

Glad you updated! Hope you got a new computer/got your old one fixed. I have heard about the mouse at the Poly!! I love AKL as well. It is my favorite resort by far (so far!). Boardwalk in December- so I will see how I like that. I'm anxious to find out your new trip details
 
AHHH AK!!!! :lovestruc I love it so much too! Except I will probably never see FotLK again so I have that to discuss with a therapist for probably the rest of my life. Traumatizing. I also have never sat anywhere BUT the lion section. I have an immense need to roar ferociously myself. I'm basically Katy Perry, but instead of a pop music metaphor, I literally roar. :duck: (Bad comedian over here!)

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHA for your Pop vine. You crack me up. I loved it.

LOL at your Vine spiel. I literally just can't get into that. I can't even get into Instagram. As you probably know, I really don't even get on Twitter myself. (I just creepily favorite Disney related things.) I have no idea why. I feel like I'm a grandma who literally just can't handle all the new technology. I'll get on those to look at stuff but just never do it myself. My last trip was, I was like "I'M TOTALLY GOING TO GET INTO TWEETING THIS TRIP" and then I tweeted like 3 things. :rotfl: #grannystatus (That's like the first time I ever even hash-tagged.)

I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHERE YOU'LL GO NEXT!!
 
Great update! It looks like you had a really nice day. FOTLK is such a great show, I get teary eyed watching it all of the time. I really love the Nemo show too though and that movie also kills me, I cry like a baby every time lol

What a fun character interaction with Chip N Dale! I love when they do unexpected things like that.

It is nice to take some time to walk around the resort and just enjoy it, isn't it? Don't be upset about not taking too many pictures, you can always go back :rotfl:

YAY Animal Kingdom! I think you know of my love for that park. :love: It is amazing. And so is FOTLK. I sometimes get emotional during the Can You Feel The Love Tonight part too.

One of these days I should go see the Nemo show again. I love the movie but have only seen that show once! I know, I'm weird.

hahaha I definitely got the reference in your Pop vine. :rotfl:
 
Yeah, like I said, I think it was a major fluke. I didn't have issues EVERY single time I had to take the bus, but so many times! Oh goodness, there are definitely some pics of it coming it! It's an unbelievably beautiful resort, I tell ya. And... YES... there is a VERY good chance of the trip being around that time! We are still a little bit unsure of exactly when it'll be, but it's looking like we could overlap! When exactly will you be there?

We will be there May 27th thru June 3rd! That would be so fun if we were there at the same time and got to meet up!
 
Bingo on the rules for Spaceship Earth. I would never do it first in the morning, but it the evening... perfect.

Haha, that second vine was too cute "OOOOOOOOOH... AHHHHHHHH" but the best is for the short 6 seconds I could hear the Innovations loop which made me :dance3:

:rotfl2: The longest queue line in the history of queue lines at the seas. There's been times when I was worried that if I took another step... I'd be home. :scared1:

Wow, I NEVER would have thought to watch Illuminations from there. Interesting.

I'm excited for the resort change since without cheating I totally forget where it is (or you never actually said and THAT's why I have no idea). :scratchin
 
Ahh Epcot at long last hehe, My favorite park for sure :)

That queue for Nemo and friends is the longest ever, right?

I hope you get better Mousekeeping at your new resort, sand in the bed is not good, it gets lodged places!
 

Um wait, you'll never see FotLK again? BUT WHY?!?!?!?! :sad:

I mostly just doubt I'll see it again. Because aren't they closing it for Avatarland? And I don't know when that will be exactly so I just think it will be closed before I make it back. It IS very sad. :sad:

I secretly love Figment. Not really secretly to the Dis world, but I've never actually been on the ride with anyone who likes it so it's a secret love. One time my friend tried to forbid me from buying Landon a Figment plush. I told them it was because he liked dragons, when really it was because I liked Figment. :rotfl: I also really, really love the fountain over in his neck of the woods.

Bahaha at Nemo being a brat. I actually think Nemo would've been traumatized too and less of a risk taker and not pretend that but I don't have a Fish Psychology degree so I don't know how their minds work for certain.

It is marvelous when you get the front in Soarin' without asking. I've become a "no-feet-for-me" snob. ::yes::

OMG I can't believe you were lucky enough to get what I suppose we will now refer to as the "classic tie-dye cheesecake". I had seriously been talking it up for months to Garret once we booked at Pop and when we got there, it was in the weird little cups and honestly, looked completely unappetizing. I was quite disappointed. I thought it had changed at some point in the last 2 years and had not realized how close it had been changed before our trip! Dagnabit!

Do you think you will continue to take trip notes on your next trip? I used to just do it every night before bed, and I was super brief with them. More like bullet-points then sentences. Then I stopped but this last trip I put them as notes into my phone and LOVED doing it that way. It was perfect.

And happy anniversary, Little Mermaid! I have loved you my entire life!
 
Yay for finally making it to Epcot! I hate when you have been in Disney for DAYS before finally hitting a park. On one of our trips (I think May 2011) we avoided Star Wars Weekend at DHS and didn't make it there until late in our trip and it felt so weird!

Haha I love the face you made on Spaceship Earth!

Ooooh, aaaah. That background music makes me homesick for Epcot!

For real, the Nemo queue is the longest ever! The night we went to the Seas on our last trip the pavilion was deserted to and it felt super weird.
That's so cool that you were able to ride Soarin' standby. Any time we try its like 180 minutes lol.

I didn't know you could see Illuminations from there. Cool, especially since you got a head start getting out of the park!

Yay tie dye cheesecake! I hope the new one tastes the same.

Thank goodness for trip notes. I tried to just jot little notes down but I got behind a lot on our trip. There was one day (our first full day there) that I didn't write anything down and I was lost when I tried to start the trip report because it happened months ago, lol.

Can't wait to see how the split stay went.
 
I felt like that on my last trip EXCEPT for Epcot!! It took me 5 days to get to Ak. 7 to get to MK and DHS was our last day!! That is what happens when the trip had tons of F&W events included!!

Is Figment one of the rides that closes at 7? I knew Ellen's closed early but didn't realize Figment did!

I actually waited in the long Nemo queue once! It was crazy!!

Most hotels will only change sheets every 3 days or so unless you request more often.
