2) Must see Miyuki again. She is over-the-top enchanting.

I've never seen her. I'm hoping I get to see her this time.

7) I've read some rave reviews of the KimPossible Missions; they really aide in finding some hidden treasures that Imagineering has cleverly put into the theming.

I'm thinking of trying this out myself. I've heard so much about them, my curiosity is up to see what they are really like.



2) Find and watch DeVine

I've always managed to miss her too. I need to start paying more attention at the AK.

4) See the Festival of the Lion King show

Have you seen it before? I think it's my favorite of all the shows at Disney. I love the monkeys!
 
hmmm Go Figure - Robo doesnt have the map (It was on TGM - but I no longer subscribe and didnt save any of their secret info)

Here's my google finds>>>

<<<As you are on your way to Harambe Village keep your eye out for the last path to the right after the Tree of Life and before the bridge to Harambe Village. This is the "SECRET PATH". The front of path is filled with a lot of vegetation so you might have to look hard. Yes it is open to the public. Follow the path for a close look at the Tree of Life and for some great photo spots. Not many people know about this path so you will have a lot of time to yourself and will not be interruptions when you are taking photos. You know those people who ignore the fact that you are taking a picture and walk right in front of you. >>>

Here is another one.

<<<The 'secret path' - There's a small eating area, with picnic tables, on the path between Harambe Village and Asia. If you're walking from Harambe Village, the area is on the left. Just before the picnic tables, you'll see the start of the 'secret path'.>>>

:thumbsup2

Hope you add this to your top ten AK must do's (and ITA hard to fit the shows in with all the other attractions...It always amazes me when people think this is a "half day" park - in our house its a 3 or 4 visit park! I know, we're weird!)
 
It is candy made from rice flour. Her creations are INCREDIBLE!! You can't miss her next time!

Wait just one minute - rice flour? As in gluten free rice flour? She will definitely be on the top of our list for Epcot. I think I mentioned before that Bella has celiac disease and cannot have any wheat, rye, barley, or oat. A rice flour treat is perfect for her! Thanks for the tip Leisa!
 

How cool that you made those!!!!!! I love how you made something that will be with them after they return home. Like you said, it will remind them of WDW and your time together!!!!!!:hug:
 
OK caught up!! :thumbsup2

With AK - we like to do EE first, then FP - go over to Dinosaur - then DD likes to do that primevil whirl - so I run to Safari to get FP - then we wander the trails... and we esp look out for CM's on the trails that have "earning my ears" and talk to them -

another time - we went to the Harumbe School! DD was missing school, and they were studying Africa - so we got the best education - the CM was earning her ears - and while she was scheduled to talk about one section of Africa, the other guests wandered off - but DD kept asking her questions, and before you konw it, she spent over 1/2 hour talking about her hometown!!

So AK has a special place for us - we dont often make it through all the trails - instead we spend a lot of time in one trail.. again mostly looking for the CM's that stand off to the sides...

I'm actually hoping we can do the Behind the Scene tour at AK - you get there early and sometimes they do medical procedures (well visits as well as operations) that you get to see... plus

do you know about the "secret" AK path? It takes you round the Tree and I keep missing it... maybe Robo has it on his maps at Stitch Kingdom - I'll go look and report back - but I know it ends where the FP machines are outside of Its Tough To Be A Bug (Hey, how come this isnt on your list?? ;) )

Thanks for all those tips!!

I did know about that path, and it's on my list of the "hidden gems" to look for at this park. Robo did have it. I've studied it several times, in fact, and I think I can find it.

That sounds really cool about the CMs who stand on the trails. I will really look out for them!

uh huh....and I noticed you deleted your spelling error (which was clearly not so much an error as a fingers moving faster than the brain or the other way around I'm never sure) from my quoted post so the evidence is gone...
I LOVE maroo's list for the WS:laughing::laughing::laughing:

and I love your ideas! SO cute. She is a far stronger woman than I.

I would peek.

Yeah, she's a funny one, that maroo!

HA! I thought I'd just get all that evidence out muy pronto like. :lmao:



I've never seen her. I'm hoping I get to see her this time.
I've always managed to miss her too. I need to start paying more attention at the AK.

Have you seen it before? I think it's my favorite of all the shows at Disney. I love the monkeys!

Miyuki is worth seeing way more than once!

No, never have seen that show, that's why I put it here on my top 10. I keep hearing great things about it!



Wait just one minute - rice flour? As in gluten free rice flour? She will definitely be on the top of our list for Epcot. I think I mentioned before that Bella has celiac disease and cannot have any wheat, rye, barley, or oat. A rice flour treat is perfect for her! Thanks for the tip Leisa!

As far as I understand it is 100% rice flour. Of course the paint she uses may have gluten, but I doubt it. You could ask her no problem!! She's very personable and sweet! Be careful though, they are so pretty, she may not want to eat it :)

super cute!!

Thanks! Super easy to make!

How cool that you made those!!!!!! I love how you made something that will be with them after they return home. Like you said, it will remind them of WDW and your time together!!!!!!:hug:

I do hope they like them! I've made a few other things already as well, but those will have to wait a while to be revealed. They are "keepers" as well. even Bekka is getting in on the action of little gifty giving. :hug:
 

1) Walk all 3 trails, paying extra attention to the theming in each one; Maharaja, Pangani, and the Tree of Life Trails.

There are 3 trails?!? :confused3 oh geez, the more I read your PTR, the less knowledgeable I feel
2) Find and watch DeVine
good luck! take pictures
3) Ride EE, possibly several dozen times. :rotfl2::rotfl:
that's all :rotfl2:
4) See the Festival of the Lion King show
love it!
5) Explore the Oasis Animal Exhibits and Discovery Island shops (each has a different theme, did you know?)
I could skip this, but that is because I have small children who think that looking is something that always involves eyes and hands! Definitely perfect for an 'adult' trip.
6) Stop to wach the African musicians and other music groups that play around the park.
always amazing
7) Find a whole bunch of Hidden Mickeys and hidden gems I've learned about over the last year.
do you have a list?
8) Eat a Minnie's Strawberry bar
yum! I prefer these to the Mickey bars too
9) See the folk art and handpainted murals in Pizzafari
we ate there, but sadly never noticed. Maybe next time
10) If time, see Nemo again (it made me cry last time)
I think this is my favorite show in all of WDW. Broadway worthy and amazing!
Think I can fit it all in?? I think I'll have at least 1 and a half days here total. Maybe even more, if I get here during one of my solo days. I'm ready for an adventure here, for sure!

I think I may need to threadlift your top 10 ideas for my PTR!

Love the surprise gifts! So cute!

I didn't know about the secret path at AK before - thanks for the tip! :thumbsup2

My little sister has been an OR nurse for the past 2 or 3 years! She loves it and loves talking about it. I have a queasy stomach and do NOT love hearing about it. :sick: She is also terrible at spelling, grammar, and punctuation, history, and especially geography. But that isn't necessary information to be a good nurse. She's good at what she does and very patient with people that need help.
 
Nice idea for your TC3 mates Liesa! (ok it's Liesa not Leisa right?)

I never knew about the hidden trail. That is cool. I guess I need to make a new notes section for my next trip!
 
the surprises are so pretty. i have to say animal kingdom is my least favorite park and i have been known to skip it on short trips (shhh...bad disney girl i know) but i do love the nemo show and everest. festival of the lion king eh. i dont know. it just doesnt thrill me . i was a fan of tarzan rocks. maybe you can show us some awesome pics and trip notes about animal kingdom when you get back and convert me to an animal kingdom lover.
 
Love your top ten lists! So... you don't like Future World? I love Future World - Tomorrowland, too. Something about that kitchy modernistic vibe.

I do have to point out, that there are actually 5 movies in World Showcase that you need to see : remember the one after Maelstrom that everyone skips? All those shows are fun - I actually have the soundtrack of the Canada one on my Ipod. Martin Short is hilarious!

The Nemo show IS awesome. Totally Broadway quality in my opinion. But, I love FOTLK, too. That music really gets me. MGM top ten coming up, or did I miss it?

Thanks! I had a fun afternoon planning and making them. Next week, I'll give you a peek at the other little surprises I have cooked up for them.

Your welcome. I wish I could say my knowledge came from going to Disney ever year, but rather reflects the inordinanate amount of time I spend toodling around on the boards. :lmao:

Glad to know your sister made it through nursing school without knowing when to replace e's with a's. :rotfl2: I guess as long as she can keep valium and viagra straight!! :lmao:

Shhhhhh . . . :ssst:remember it's a secret! Maroo can't read about it! You may want to edit your post!

I talked with her last night as we were rolling at this little game. She's a crack up! I told her she could come back on anytime now; she ought to be out of sneeky peeky danger. ;)

That's very cute! :)

AWwww, thanks tinkgurl!

Nice idea for your TC3 mates Liesa! (ok it's Liesa not Leisa right?)

Yot got it!! Here's what's funny... that's not even my legal name! :lmao: I changed it in Junior high just to be "different", and it STUCK! Much to my parents' dismay people did start using it, and now it's on everything but my passport.

Ah, the ends kids will go to to be noticed. :rolleyes1:sad2:

The kids of little hidden gems and secrets will have a whole series of separate posts, don't worry, I'll put them all in one place for you ;)

I think it's a middle of the road park for me, but one that is really growing on me. As I get older, I'm ready to slow down and not be pressured to flit and rush, but rather be there for its own beauty's sake.

Don't get me wrong, I have a need for high thrills too (save your comments winkers, I know what you're thinking! :lmao:) and speed too, so taking a spin on EE or TT or M:S (orange side) isn't out of my realm of "will do".

Someone who does some great write ups on AK is circusgirl. I know I've mentioned her before. She puts words in her writing that just make you love it!

Nemo is one well-done show!! I"ve been a MANY broadway shows and this one could easily compete with any of those! I think in Heaven I'm going to get a voice like a broaway singer. :thumbsup2

Well, it's not that I DON'T like FW, but I wouldn't put it about the other parks. I've never really liked TomLand either- I'm more of a nostaligic kind of gal, as opposed to a look-to-the-future kind of gal. I will admit though, some of the jokes and visual puns in both those areas tickle my fancy every time. Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow. :lmao: I have no idea why that is so funny to me!

So, I actually divided FW and WS up into 2 separate posts. Becuase I like AK more than FW, but less than WS, and well, EPCOT just feels like 2 different parks to me.

I've seen the Maelstrom show all 3 times I've been there. Like a sheep, I didn't know you could walk through and skip it. Yeah, I know, I know. I was worried about offending the CMs getting publicly reprimanded or thrown out of the park for not learning all they had to offer about Norway. I'm going to probably break the rules this trip... pirate:

I have the Canada music on my IPod too! That soundtrack is probably one of my favorites of the whole album.

I don't know but it made me choke on my wine. It's been a LONG day....

I need to check out the Canada music....
 
Let's crack open a bottle! :drinking:

Yes, let's! But it's a little early for me yet. I'm still on the coffee and cereal. Well, actually, I just started my tofu and rice for lunch-leftovers from last night. I was on teh phone with maroo and told her I needed to go fry my tofu for dinner, and she says, "well, there's certainly one sentence that has never escaped my mouth!" :lmao:
