and I'm so glad!

NYC was AWESOME!! Not enough time. We were only there for 4 days. Next time, 6 days. Did a lot of walking and visiting places. Can't wait to tell y'all about it!

Salt Lake City was beautiful! Surrounded by these gorgeous mountains and I loved the dry heat.

I've been pretty busy moving around, preparing for interviews, spending time with family and getting started with USANA, a direct-selling company for nutritional supplements that my mom's a part of. Tell you guys more later.

I missed you guys and will be back to catch up with all of you!

Have a great trip YUKI!!!!

Chapter 24a. Day 6 pt.1- Let's go on again!

We had a wonderfully relaxing day and were ready to get back into the parks bright and early this morning. It was our Animal Kingdom day and it was also the day I had chosen for us to celebrate our anniversary on. The actual date was less than a week away and where better to celebrate that at WDW?

We woke up at 7:30am and was on the bus by 8:15. Having everything laid out and ready the night before really streamlines our mornings. We had made it a habit to go through Everything Pop to fill up on either Fanta or Powerade before hitting the bus stop. By the way, did you guys know there's a Fanta melon?? I was at a convenience store and they were selling Fanta melon slushies! I mixed it with coke slushie and it was great. We made sure to wear our Happy Anniversary buttons on this day.

We got to the park right at 8:45. I love all this green.

Hey, that's me! It's a pretty long walk...

We made it just as the rope drop show ended. I had seen this new show online and I liked the old one much better.

So, what was our first stop?

We followed the crowd heading to EE!

Oh look, the Tree of Life!

It's so pretty, I wish I had a poster of it in my room.

Andrew snapped a bunch of pictures on our way in. He loved the theming and decor of everything!

I tried to get him to line this picture up but he just didn't see it.

Doesn't even feel like you're in a theme park right?

Man, I love WDW.

If it weren't for Andrew, I don't think I would've noticed these on the pavement. So cool!

We grabbed some FPs for later before getting into the super fast moving standby-line.

LOVE this queue. Probably one of my favourites.

Our first ride together on EE! Are you ready Andrew??

Wow, that's a really big smile.

It was as awesome as ever!! We didn't really know when the ride photo would be taken, so we weren't prepared with a silly pose. What do you? GO BACK ON! It was still a walk-on.


Continued in next post.

Chapter 24b. Day 6 pt.1- We took a lot of pictures in AK

More pictures of the queue!

These masks were pretty freaky.

And of course, we took a picture of the poo. Bet you don't see THAT on the Dis very often DO you?

Our 2nd ride was just as awesome as the first. Man, I love that backwards part in the dark. We still couldn't get that photo though. Well, we had a lot of time....so again! This time, no queue pictures, but we came out with this!

I look like I ate something really bitter...

Next stop, Dino-rama! Wow, EE looks gorgeous.

I love the water.

We're here!

Remember this picture.

Ok, before I forget, I know we got some PP taken, but I just can't remember when or where....so might as well post them now!

I also love this one.

Andrew's face is so funny!

Ok, back to AK. My main objective in this area was to ride Primeval Whirl. I know it's not a popular ride, but I really like it!

Andrew really liked it too! It's a fun ride that always leaves us smiling.

Ok, so remember those pictures of Gertie the dinosaur that Andrew took earlier? Well, after our ride, he took this one and couldn't figure out where it came from.

He though Gertie was just the body and a really nice sign, haha. I told him it was the head of the dinosaur he took pictures of and he was like, "It was a dinosaur??" Hahaha, silly Andrew.

As per my plan, we headed towards Dinosaur. I was determined to conquer it this time. By which I mean to look at the dinosaur in the end.

Did you guys know there was a little dinosaur walk you could do around the ride? I think I noticed the sign but decided not to do it. It sounds pretty cool though!

Continued in next post.

Chapter 24c. Day 6 pt.1-That dinosaur is LOUD

Ok, here we are.

Ahh, I love this dinosaur because of a picture I took of my sister on our first trip.

It looks like my sister is going, "Hey Mr.Dinosaur!" and the dinosaur is looking at her funny.

Is this the fossil on the giant dino we encounter on the ride?

I don't know why Andrew took so many shots of this dinosaur...

Oh, that's why.

At least there's no angry white guy in these pictures, right?

So....as you can see...I couldn't look up. I had a death grip on Andrew's hands the whole time. That ride is LOUD!

Here's another dinosaur for you.

We grabbed an FP for it to test my courage later. I was SO determined to not look away! We'll see how that works out later...

Coming up next: Going down the Kali

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I'm first!

Welcome back Yuki! I"m glad you had a great trip! We were only one state away. HOT, wasn't it?

EE 3 times!!! Glad you finally got the pic you wanted.

I never noticed Gertie peeking over the sign before! I love PW too! Jim won't ride with me - he doesn't spin. My DSIS and niece and nephew had a blast on it with me. Somehow I can't see myself doing Single rider on that one....

You are so funny on Dinosaur - "he's going to eat me!"

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

An update! Hurray!

I agree, Everest has an awesome queue.

Cute photopass pictures!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I love Animal Kingdom for it's theming and ambience in general. You're right, you don't even feel like you're in a theme park when you're there.

Jealous that you got on EE three times! I can't wait to get back on it. The backwards part is my favorite too.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, I may have to copy Andrew's dinosaur eating his finger picture.

Don't worry that you can't look up on Dinosaur. It is such a loud ride for sure. I couldn't keep my eyes open at the end part for the longest time. I would just hunch over and cringe.

 

[ronnmel]

You're back with an update, woohoo!

 

[englishrose47]
