PART VI: Guess where we’re going?
AK, is truly a
beautiful park. I mean this in the most Nod-da-Zoo kinda way. If you take the time, you really will see some amazing sights. Unfortunately, my commando-ness does not generally allow for any of the fuzzy wuzzy AK feelings normally.
Today was a new day! We found ourselves walking out of AK, with no crowds around enjoying the view.
DH & I were feelin good that Lil’l Diz Man told us his CHEEK felt much better. I say CHEEK, because for the rest of the trip when anyone attempted to ask him about his SHINER, he promptly corrected them, making sure it was perfectly CLEAR that his CHEEK was injured in a bus accident and NOT his eye!
I must admit, either we are surely stupid or Disney really messed up on the bus entrances.
I am sure it is most likely to be the stupid part.
We got in line for our evening destination and were like, “Wow! There sure are a lot of people going here tonight…” The line was coming out of the queue by about 30 people.
DH looks at me with the…so you think you’re the big DIS planning, outsmarting everyone kinda lady look. And says, “thought MGM was having extra magic hours tonight…Are you sure you read the calendar right? Sure you didn’t make a mistake?”… Then gave me the MS. Smarty pants, eyebrow lift look.
I promptly pulled out my perfectly planned itinerary and looked over the day… not paying any attention to anything going on outside our spots in line!
“Hmm, looks correct”… Bewildered we stood for about another 20 minutes…line NOT moving an inch!
Finally I looked up and see a bus for our destination and know we won’t make it on this one, but heck…it is a great sign! I do the all to familiar, “oh here one comes” and nod, since this IS a requirement for all WDW transportation users…DON’T forget it…they just may not let you on if you do!
When the bus stopped, there was just one little, tiny problem…it forgot to stop where we where. Yep folks, we parked our selves and the double wide in the wrong line! Yep.
Here is another Tip for you…pay attention… WHEN GETTING IN LINE AT THE AK, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE IN THE CORRECT LINE. The signs up above do not match up with the entrance of the line in which you are trying to stand. Don’t think that we learned our lessons either, since on the next visit…we did the same thing! (So that I don’t feel like a total idiot, I will point out that on both trips to AK we saw & heard people in the wrong line for their destinations…com’mon AK get with it…geeze…)
I am happy to report that once in the correct line, we were promptly able to load onto a bus.
Yes, this was an uneventful bus ride, with the exception of TINK, who got it in here cute little head that sitting on momma’s lap was not fun and would rather LAY across it
(yea, this will prove to be a fun, funny, not so fun for momma thing on every bus ride for here on out).
Next stop. Is a must for my family. We try to make it our 1st Disney experience every trip!
This trip however, over planning, selfish mama veto'ed it to #2, so that she could see the AK parade! None of that catering to every woe of my kin’s, this is also MOMMA’s trip! I’ve had enough napping during every mid day parade…my turn to put my worries behind and MY itinerary forward!
Okay…where were we…
Ah, yessss HERE:
I’m ready MICKEY
…I am! …Com’mon Disney…give me some MAGIC…plant her here WALT…Momma’s ready to be pixie dusted!
check out all of the birds in the picture
It doesn’t matter how many times you have visited WDW…the 1st time you see her, she melts your heart…
Growing up, I visited her sister too many times to count. But the 1st time I saw HER; I needed to say the usual convert phrase… “WOW, She is soooo BIG & Beautiful!”
To date, I have not seen her sister, since our first encounter. However, I do hope to one-day meet again…real soon.
