JAMBO Everybody...An August 2011 TR (Completed May 13)

[TanzUnited99]

I have to agree with Jeff about the theming of AK - I loved it as well!

Love the fun pics of Jasmine and Jeff as well as how empty the park was...you sure took some pretty pics!

Lol at MM making sure Jasmine didn't leave her to ride EE with Jeff!

my experience of EE was similar to the one Jeff had...I am so using his excuse!!!

 

[dawnbu40]

I love the pictures in this update! AK is not my favorite park but it is my favorite to photograph! So much to see and capture.

How thoughtful of Jeff to scream for your enjoyment

 

[meggiebeth]

Subscribing! Great TR so far! Wonderful photos at AK- Kali River Rapids looks so fun!

We also went in august- around the same time as you. We found it a great time to visit. Totally worth the long flight! How long did it take you to get there from Canada? London to Orlando for us was nearly 10 hours.

Wow! AK looks pretty quiet. We were there just a few days earlier and it was packed.

Can't wait for the next update!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

Yay for an update!!!!! I'll have to go back and read the TH review...I saw in your title that it said your last update was the 13th..I'll have to check back more often lol

 

[cdotla]

Hey Queen...finally all caught up!

Can't believe your score of an upgrade! What a beautiful savanagh view! I guess us Canadians really take care of each other, right?

What a great way to kick off the trip at Raglan Road for dinner. Love that place!

So glad to hear how much Jeff loved the Parks...and yay for a guy who likes documenting the trip in photos!

That pool at AK certainly does look awesome. I can't wait to try it one of these years....

Nothing says contentment like a GG slushie, does it? One of these days we will have to share one together!

Thanks for your review about the Wishes Dessert Party. Your review confirms everything I suspected about the event.

Aren't the Water Parks the best? We tried them for the 1st time this trip and fell in love with them. Probably the most fun our family had the whole trip!

That dinner at Boma sounded fantastic! How great too that you were able to meet up with DeclansDad and family.

Seriously can't believe how low the crowds were the whole time you were there!!!

Great TR so far...can't wait to hear more!!!

 

[Hypermommy]

Great update!

Being at AK first thing in the morning and listening to the birds sing does sound like soooooo much fun.

LOL @ MM staking her ground re riding EE with Jas and telling Jeff in no uncertain terms. I have no doubt that young lady has a way of getting what she wants. LOL

Great shot of the kids in the KRR boat. Great shots altogether!

And I'm with Samantha... I'm glad when you fall behind becuase it's soooooo much easier for me to keep up. And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that actually lets real life get in the way of the important things of life!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

I can completely understand how crazy fast the holiday season makes everything go My TR has been neglected by me as well so much to do so little time!

Can't wait to see the new furniture!

Jeff's excitement is so cute! AK became Josh's favorite park too!

Aw MM having to grab a hold of Jasmine

I love that you joked around with Jeff in the line We never had much of a wait for anything so I had no time to try and freak Josh out plus we had watched a ton of Disney vacation movies so he knew what he was in for

Sounds like you all had a good morning at AK! Can't wait to hear more!

 

[MEK]

I had no idea you updated. So glad I checked, just in case. sounds like such a fun AK morning. I really can't wait to get back there in December. It's going to be so nice to enjoy that park without the summer heat!

I'll be back tonight to see all your fun pictures!

 

[pkondz]

Once again, I find myself apologizing for not being on here more often to get posts up!

Bad Queen! Bad girl!

Life right now is very hectic and there just seems to be very little time for Dis-ing!

Okay. Forgiven.

Jeff thought the theming in this park was fantastic! He had to stop and play and the drums so the girls joined in!

Love those drums! DD10 loved 'em so much that we wound up buying her one for Christmas that year.

Jeff and Jasmine were both in crazy happy excited moods on this fine morning and they decided to show it, they would run ahead and jump and click their heels.

Ah, youth.

Considering she did competitive cheerleading for 4 years and holds a second degree black belt in Taekwondo, you'd think she's be a little more co-ordinated with this....but no

So what you're saying is I'll have to watch my step if we meet up for another DISmeet?

Touchdown!

Bombers.

That's a really nice pic of the two girls.

The Lost Expedition....how much fun do I have with this? I always go on and on about us not making it back and what if only some of us do....I'm such a mean auntie! The girls are used to me now, but Jeff wasn't impressed with my montage!

I wouldn't expect anything less of you!

Finally make it to the front and it's time to board! I laughed so hard thruout this ride...Jeff was screaming like a little girl! It was priceless! At the end, he told me he did it so the ride would be more fun and enjoyable for me! Ok, we'll go with that one!

Yup, he's a keeper!

Hidden Mickey along the way!

Up next.....Kilimanjaro Safari!!!!

Good catch on the hidden Mickey. Can't wait for more!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

My niece and I LOVE EE - my sis - not so much

 

[MEK]

The pictures of Jeff clicking his heels together are hysterical!

What - no pictures on EE?

What a great day to be in the parks with such low crowds! Nice!

 

[Missyrose]

He thought the Tree of Life was perfection (I believe that's the word he used). I couldn't wait to hit ITTBAB....

I LOVE this photo! Pure. Disney. Joy. And don't you love when the parks are completely empty? It's like having your own private playground. Those suckers that sleep in don't know what they're missing.

 

[Shannon84]

Great shots of Jasmine and Jeff excited, thats too cute!!

I love the spot MM asked for her picture, I havent seen a picture there before and it is really cool!! Too funny she made sure Jasmine was her ride partner and everyone knew it!! My little cousin is the same way when we go to theme parks, because no one will go on rollercoasters with her back home, so I am her ride buddy when I visit

 

[klacey1]

We also had an empty park on our AK day! It's so nice-- makes the park feel really peaceful! Love the pictures of Jas and Jeff goofing off and trying to kick their heels. Too funny!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

I can't wait to see your new furniture and accessories! I love Animal Kingdom! We have a lunch reservation for Tusker. I am trying to change it to breakfast because the time is so much more convenient. The lunch does include characters now.

Your pictures always show everyone's happiness! Love it!

 

[dismagiclover]

Wow I can't believe how empty the park is! We're planning on August for our summer 2013 trip and this makes me excited. Love all the pictures of the details in the park.

 

[Queenofallthings]

Great Update!! I loved EE but there was no way I was going to get wet on the other one!! lol

My son does the clicking heels things too! I have a great photo of him in action in a London Subway!! I'll post it later!

Have a great day watching the Bomber Game!!!!

Debbie

We have the same way of thinking

Please do post that picture, I would love to see it!

Too bad about the Bomber's ... but there's always next year

Great update, Queen. Now, I'm going to stick up for Jas here. Perhaps she couldn't keep up with Jeff in "kicking up her heels" becAuse of the shoes she was wearing.

And I love Jeff's excuse for screaming on EE...it's certainly the one I would have used.

Great update, friend.

Jasmine appreciates that you were sticking up for her....she wants me to give you a big

Jeff was beyond hilarious with his screaming...I told him I complete believed his reasoning

Great update! I for one am glad when you fall behind, it makes it easier for me to catch up. lol
I love the hidden Mickey on the sidewalk, never noticed that one before.

I have pics of my girls jumping in the air like that from the last 2 trips. It is the funniest thing trying to get that perfect shot, so I can imagine you laughing hysterically while they were doing it. Such great memories to have!!

How exciting to shop for accessories for your new living room. Christmas morning will be extra special at your house!! I love great pics with great backgrounds, sounds like you will have some beauties. I am happy if there isn't too much wrapping paper and junk in the background when I do mine. lol

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!! Hope work is still going great too

Thank you my friend...lately it's getting harder and harder to keep up!

They are great memories...we have so many pictures of rides, parades etc that I forget to capture everyone's emotions and this was a great morning which was surprising considering how early we were all up

Jasmine and I will heading out tomorrow morning at 10am (they open her store then so family has 2 hours to shop before the rest of the public gets in) and it's her 30% off weekend!! She was scouting out the housewears section before she started her shift yesterday and was sending me pics

Work is wonderful! It's busy but wonderful! It's that time where it's year end review time, salary increases and bonuses so it's a little crazy but it's great to see how happy people are when they get their bonuses!!

I have to agree with Jeff about the theming of AK - I loved it as well!

Love the fun pics of Jasmine and Jeff as well as how empty the park was...you sure took some pretty pics!

Lol at MM making sure Jasmine didn't leave her to ride EE with Jeff!

my experience of EE was similar to the one Jeff had...I am so using his excuse!!!

He was over on Thurs evening and he looked up and said "I want to go to Florida again, I wish we could go soon" So do I!!!

An empty park affords you the experience of being crazy and giddy doesn't it...not that they wouldn't be crazy with people around too though!

MM is stuck to Jasmine like glue! She is wanting to come for a sleepover during the Christmas break so we will have to make that happen one day that Jasmine is also off!!

I love the pictures in this update! AK is not my favorite park but it is my favorite to photograph! So much to see and capture.

How thoughtful of Jeff to scream for your enjoyment

Thanks Dawn AK has slowly grown on me over the years but we rarely spend a full day there!

Wasn't that sweet of him

Can't wait for the next update!

Well hello there and welcome...happy to have you along!

We flew from Winnipeg to Chicago which is 2 hours (we managed to do it in just over an hour with a great tail wind) then 2 hours from Chicago to Orlando! 10 hours is a looonnnngggg flight!

We noticed a huge difference in crowds between our first week and our second...second was very quiet!!!

Update coming up tonight!

Yay for an update!!!!! I'll have to go back and read the TH review...I saw in your title that it said your last update was the 13th..I'll have to check back more often lol

Hey chicky! I forgot to change that .. it now says the 27th

Hey Queen...finally all caught up!

Great TR so far...can't wait to hear more!!!

TRISH Yes, Eric was amazing and wonderful that's for sure! We felt pretty special that's for sure!

That pool is awesome, I seriously could make a vacation of that resort and pool alone! Nothing would make me happier to share a GGS with you...one of these years for sure

All of the kids loved the water parks and I know we will definitely be doing them on all our upcoming trips! Just a great way to spend a day!

That dinner with the Declansdad crew was one of the best times we spent on this trip! They are amazing people and we look forward to spending more time with them in the future!

The low crowds sure do make the heat and humidity bearable that's for sure!! So glad you guys are doing well!!

Great update!

Being at AK first thing in the morning and listening to the birds sing does sound like soooooo much fun.

Hey girly!

MM is too funny, she cracks me up! and you're right, she has Jasmine wrapped around her little finger

I was so happy with those shots of the kids on the ride...that was my excuse for not riding

You and Samantha make me feel so much better about being behind...

I can completely understand how crazy fast the holiday season makes everything go My TR has been neglected by me as well so much to do so little time!

Can't wait to see the new furniture!

Jeff's excitement is so cute! AK became Josh's favorite park too!

Aw MM having to grab a hold of Jasmine

Sounds like you all had a good morning at AK! Can't wait to hear more!

Hey sweetie!

One week today and the furniture arrives...I'm sure my bff and I will be spending most of the day rearranging things to see what works best

I will have another update up this evening (Jasmine has been working crazy shifts and she is working again tonight)

I had no idea you updated. So glad I checked, just in case. sounds like such a fun AK morning. I really can't wait to get back there in December. It's going to be so nice to enjoy that park without the summer heat!

I'll be back tonight to see all your fun pictures!

I can't wait to see the pictures you get when you're there in December...you know how much I love your pictures!

Bad Queen! Bad girl!

I should be tarred and feathered

Okay. Forgiven.

Thanks

Love those drums! DD10 loved 'em so much that we wound up buying her one for Christmas that year.

That's awesome, what a great gift!

Ah, youth.

Exactly

So what you're saying is I'll have to watch my step if we meet up for another DISmeet?

Oh no, she thinks your hilarious, I have a feeling the two of you will get on quite well

Touchdown!

Bombers.




That's a really nice pic of the two girls.

I agree!

I wouldn't expect anything less of you!

It's a sickness...what can I say

Yup, he's a keeper!

I guess

Good catch on the hidden Mickey. Can't wait for more!

Can't remember who spotted it, but I know it wasn't me

My niece and I LOVE EE - my sis - not so much

I love sitting with my sister on some of the "scarier" rides ... she is hilarious!

 

[Queenofallthings]

The pictures of Jeff clicking his heels together are hysterical!

What - no pictures on EE?

What a great day to be in the parks with such low crowds! Nice!

Isn't he funny! He has the best sense of humour and is so wonderful with the girls!

It was very hard to take pictures with Jeff hanging onto me

It was an absolutely wonderful day and I can't wait to tell you about the rest of it!

I LOVE this photo! Pure. Disney. Joy. And don't you love when the parks are completely empty? It's like having your own private playground. Those suckers that sleep in don't know what they're missing.

I couldn't agree with you more! I don't get the whole sleeping in a Disney....I can't sleep with excitement never mind sleeping in

Great shots of Jasmine and Jeff excited, thats too cute!!

I love the spot MM asked for her picture, I havent seen a picture there before and it is really cool!! Too funny she made sure Jasmine was her ride partner and everyone knew it!! My little cousin is the same way when we go to theme parks, because no one will go on rollercoasters with her back home, so I am her ride buddy when I visit

Thanks

Isn't that a cute area...it was as we were walking from TH on our was to EE! As much as MM loves Jeff, I think she gets annoyed sometimes that Jasmine is always with him, so she marks her territory early now. She'll sit down right next to her on the couch before Jeff has a chance, will tell her that they are sitting next to each other at the dinner table....it's hilarious!

We also had an empty park on our AK day! It's so nice-- makes the park feel really peaceful! Love the pictures of Jas and Jeff goofing off and trying to kick their heels. Too funny!

They are the best aren't they They were having the time of their lives on this morning!

I can't wait to see your new furniture and accessories! I love Animal Kingdom! We have a lunch reservation for Tusker. I am trying to change it to breakfast because the time is so much more convenient. The lunch does include characters now.

Your pictures always show everyone's happiness! Love it!

Furniture is to arrived next Saturday (Dec 10) so unless there is some glitch I should have pics up next Saturday evening! I am so excited

Hopefully you'll get in for breakfast then you have your whole day to enjoy the park! Didn't realize the characters were there at lunch...good to know

Thank you for that....we are a pretty happy bunch or crazy....somedays it's both!

Wow I can't believe how empty the park is! We're planning on August for our summer 2013 trip and this makes me excited. Love all the pictures of the details in the park.

REALLY?? Maybe our paths will cross...our next trip is planned for last 2 weeks of August in 2013!!! I will keep my fingers crossed!
