I'M JUST SHOWBOATIN' AROUND THE WORLD! & getting pooped on. Jan 13 TR! NEW TR POSTED!

[marDgreen88]

Hahha YES. FINALLY yall all got to go to Animal Kingdom together!

AHHH ELEPHANTS! That's basically the only reason I go on the safari! All the other animals are at our local zoo, but no elephants, and they're my favorite! I have to get my elephant fix.

HAHAHA. Another gem of a photo. Amy is just loving that good old carnotaurus!

The Dug and Russell pis are too cute! So glad you finally got to meet them!

Love your trip reports, you guys are such a fun couple!

I also got that same ring because it was Mickey but not too much Mickey.

Sad part about it was I accidentally threw away my girlfriend ring that my husband had given to me when we started dating. I had worn it every day for 9 years and I took it off and stored it in the diaper bag so I could wear my new ring. Not realizing until 3 days later that it got thrown out in the nightly diaper bag clean out!

Hoodies and shorts... Are you SURE you're not Canadian??

I forgot to mention it before, so it's good that you're wearing it again. That hoodie is adorable. I want one!

Yes I did known they got rid of the Zebras and I was not happy. It was still being built in October and then gone by the time I got there at the end of April. Boo!

OMG, can I just pay you to ride Dinosaur and provide us with ride photos over and over? These are like the new joys of my life. I just finished writing the story of my ride photo in response to your first Dino photo, and then you go and bless me with a new one. So kind of you.

 

[Jennifer48]

No one will ever, EVER in the history of TRs, beat your TWO FANTASTIC Dinosaur ride photos!

Your new Mickey hoodie is cute!

 

[onelilspark]

Hahahaha...you should frame those two reactions. Priceless.

And who knew the Zebras would be the problematic animal! I would have guessed it would have been the elephants or lions!

 

[rachel09985]

Cute photos with the Up characters! Thats so cute it made you that happy.

I love your 2nd dinosaur pic. You description of Matt made me laugh hard!!! I love it.

 

[Aurora1972]

I love it when you break down the ride photo! Always hillarious! Matt kinda looks like he wants to throw up! So glad you got to meet your up characters!

 

[blklotus]

Your ride photos are always the best! That Dinosaur photo couldn't be better if you guys had posed for it. I love it how Bruce and Amy always just look happy to be there!

OMG the pics of you with Russell and Dug are ADORBS! I always get weird with character meets (face and fur!) because I'm such an awkward conversationalist. I either get super over hyped and come off like I'm on speed or get super quiet and smile weirdly, or just end up saying something totally ridiculous. Maybe I need to be better prepared, that seems to be the key.

 

[DharmaLou]

DYING at your Dinosaur photo! Though don't worry, mine would feature me in the fetal position I'm sure!

And so adorable with Dug & Russell! I just love when the characters interact so amazingly!

 

[cheshirecatattack]

Love your Russel and Dug pics! I met them back in May and they were both great! I love it when characters spend some extra time with adoring adult fans

 

[gardengirl2790]

Priceless Dinosaur ride photo!! I just can't get over the drastic difference between Amy and Bruce's expressions and your and Matt's reactions. It was like you guys were on completely different rides.

 

[SRiley1985]

8 trips and I still haven't ridden Dinosaur because I am such a wimp. Your expression in the ride photo is definitely not helping

 

[SheStang94]

OMG! Dug and Russell are too adorable! I can definitely relate to crying when you meet your favorite characters. When I met Eeyore a few years ago, I was definitely tearing up!

 

[__disneygirl]

Thank God there is an Earl of Sandwich in NYC or I wouldn't be able to get through life.

Can you believe I've never gotten anything at Ghiradelli? I'm always too full!!

OMG THE MICKEY HOODIE WITH EARS. I NEED. *grabby hands*

OOOOhhh I love your Haunted Mansion art. I only have one thing from Art of Disney, a sketch of Mickey & Minnie, and it's quite lonely!!

I'm seriously dying @ the Asian family behind Bruce and Amy hahahaha

LMAO you on Dinosaur is my favorite thing. Like, if we ever have a Dismeet, I need it to be at Dinosaur, okay? So I can be a part of one of these glorious Dinosaur ride photos.

YAAAYYYY I'm so happy you finally got to meet Russell and Dug! How sweet!!

Spent the past couple of days reading your trip report, it's too fun.

This is going back quite a few updates, I don't even remember which one it was, but there was a picture of Matt's backpack and were those Dharma Initiative pins on it?

The little Remy at Les Chefs de France looks like the cutest thing! Definitely something I need to see in the future, I love Ratatouille (even if it took me like three times to figure out how to spell it!).

And that Nutella waffle sandwich look like it might be the greatest sandwich ever.

I love that you have those Haunted Mansions prints up in your house! So cool.

So funny they ended up getting rid of the zebras. I wonder if they'll put other animals there now.

 

[RachelNinja]

Haha, I too HATE things popping out at me! I immediately scream. In Haunted Mansion, I squint my eyes in the graveyard scene even though I can see their hidden heads. Sometimes even when it pops out for the doombuggy in front of us, I still get startled. Once a student hid behind the entrance wall of my classroom in the dark and scared me as I walked in. I screamed so loudly and wanted to cry. That kid got in trouble~ haha.

 

[blabbermouth]

Oh, Dinosaur. It is terrifying, I can't disagree! You couldn't fake a face like that

 

[lilaurora]

Alright, I've been lurking around loving your report. Coincidentally, my family was at WDW the same time in January!

Anyhow, my reason for coming out of lurkdom is to share a story of my own terror of Dinosaur. First time at AK ever with just me and my cousin. She convinced me to go on the ride. I was so scared of the Carnotaur that I nearly peed myself and cried. 2 years later DH and go for his 1st trip. He begs me to go on and against my better judgment I gave in. Right after that devil-saur starts to roar, the ride stops. We are in pitch black dark and it's very quiet. About a min or 2 later, without warning the ride starts up again with the pee-inducing roar for a couple of very long seconds, then stops again. I was terrified! I knew what was coming but had no idea when. This break was slightly longer, but that awful-taur scared the bejeezus out of me when the ride started again. I could NOT wait to get off that thing!! That is one ride I will never, ever ride again. Unfortunately (or fortunately, really) due to the ride issues there was no photographic evidence to be had.

Sorry for the long post. I am really enjoying your story!!

 

[cfw213]

I feel the same way you do about Dinosaur! I'm always "yeah I'm not gonna be scared!" And then I end up hiding my face on the person next to me ! Maybe next time...

We met with Dug and Russell at AK during our April trip this year and we had a very good character interaction as well. I agree that they were beyond precious. A very loverly experience.
