[Charleston Princess]

Such a great update!!! We love Tusker House and can't wait to go back -- we had a great waiter, so maybe next time you will get him. I love your giraffe pictures!

 

[ibedancin824]

Yayyy tusker house looks good but now im gonna have to look and see if AK has EMH a day that we are there....Scott and Anna are going to lovvveee the Safari! Bry was laughing at Chris with the characters he saw some looking over my shoulder

 

[Me&3]

Great pics The one of you guys outside the TH is cute. Can't wait to see and hear more

 

[jenseib]

Wonderful update. I didn't realize that TH did a photopass picture when you went in. Do they give you a photo to leep to then? I would like to do this some year, but we just aren't early risers. But maybe next year if we go.

I love the dining plan though. It saves us a bunch of money. BUT we usually don't do many breakfasts with it because 1 my family likes to sleep (the horro) and 2 they are cheaper than lucnh and dinner,so we get more of our moneys worth with those.
I still have a list of breakfasts I would like to try someday.

I love all of the animal pictures in the safari, especially the baby elephant. Too bad you didn't see more of the lions, but you saw so much!

I also love the pictures of you and Chris with the characters.

The food looks delicious. YUM!

Great update! You've convinced me to add Tusker House to my list for our upcoming trip. I'm anxious to see how your "test" came out with the dining situation.

Ohhh how I wish I could be on an early morning safari right now. Great pictures. I love the giraffes too!

 

[MeMom]

This is my first weekend of not having to think about school so that in itself is making my weekend wonderfulllll.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

AK was just gorgeous. I can't stress it enough. I totally got a new appreciation for it this trip. So we got over to the safari and walked right on. As we walked through the queue we saw a CM standing off to the side, directing people to where to leave their strollers. Chris and I then began a little game. We were thinking, "What a great job. Stand there on the line for the safari and tell people where to put their strollers all day...IN DISNEY WORLD!" So easy and you're in DISNEY so it must be great. We then started the "what is the best job in Disney world" game. So far, the stroller girl was winning. Anyway, here's some safari pictures. We walked RIGHT on. Literally a 3 minute walk and wait AND our jeep wasn't even half full. LOVE AM EMH!
....

I'll have to wait until I get home to see the pictures, so that'll be a treat at the end of the day.

Hooray for your freedom from school!

It's good to know that you developed a new appreciation for Animal Kingdom. I love that park! There are so many detail to take pictures of, and the animal are doing something different every second. If I lived close by, I'd alternate my evening walks between AK and World Showcase. I would log a lot of miles doing that!

The best job in Disney World for me would be in the education department of Animal Kingdom or maybe a tour guide anywhere in WDW.

We had the same problem at Tusker House. The food and character interaction was great, but our waitress was so slow and inattentive. I wonder if we had the same one? How cool so see filming going on. When the next Travel Channel special comes out you'll definitely have to watch for those folks.

Tusker House overall was great but thats weird that you had the same problem with your server as us. Maybe they just need more servers? It seemed like the other table next to us had their server there way more than we did though. but maybe we just had the same waitress! I'm going to have to keep a lookout for the next Travel Channel special! I have a little more to say about it in a later post too.

Hey girlie. Good job on the grades! I hope I did good on mine!!

Nice update! The safari pics are so good. I love the giraffes too!

That looks like it was a fun place to eat. Chris is just livin' it up being cheesy for the camera...I'm sure because he knew you'd be posting it on your TR!

Thanks girl, I'm sure your grades are great too.

We got lucky and had a really good safari, I just wish we could have seen the lions more! TH is definitely a really great placed to eat, I would recommend it to you guys! Chris is just a dork and yeah, he knew I would be posting on here so he was acting even more dorky!

What a fun morning at AK! That park is really growing on me too. You and Chris look like you were having so much fun!!

I really LOVE AK now. I was sad we didnt get to start off our week at MK until we got to AK and then I didnt care anymore. We definitely had a greatttt morning and I can't wait to share the rest of the day with you guys!

You must have gotten the same waitress we did! lol

I went to the buffet and while I was gone my mom ordered mt coffee.

Well I ate my entire meal and at the end I asked her once more for coffee. In all it might have been asked 3 times.

I got it at the end.

We had the last serving so I took my sweet time and drank it hehe

BrooklynnsMommy thinks we had the same one she did too. We either all had the same one or they just need more servers in that place. It was big so maybe thats why. Its funny we both had a problem getting coffee...I remember I had to like gulp it down when I was almost done with my meal!

We love Tusker House too. GREAT food and wonderful characters! I knew you'd love it!

You guys saw a lot of animals on Safari! One of these days I'm gonna go to AM EMH and do an early ride. I hear that's one of the best...and when it's raining a lot of them come out too.

Love the pics of you guys with the characters. They're so cute!

TH was so great I think we're going to be doing it again in Novemeber as long as there's AK AM EMH. The safari was really good too, I just wish we got to see more of the lions. I know they're really hard to see because they're not so active. I would suggest doing it early during EMH too if you guys can fit it into your always busy WDW schedules. Glad you liked the character pictures! I look the same in everyone LOL but Chris is a ham!

YEAH GREAT UPDATE. i THE WEATHER IS GOOD FOR YOUR DAY OFF

Thanks! The weather wasn't so great yesterday OR so far today. NOT COOL! LOL

Such a great update!!! We love Tusker House and can't wait to go back -- we had a great waiter, so maybe next time you will get him. I love your giraffe pictures!

Thanks!! I hope we get the waiter that you had next time we go because our girl was just sooo slow. Glad you liked the giraffe pics!

Yayyy tusker house looks good but now im gonna have to look and see if AK has EMH a day that we are there....Scott and Anna are going to lovvveee the Safari! Bry was laughing at Chris with the characters he saw some looking over my shoulder

Nicklassss...you will love TH! Just stick to the Mickey pancakes since you're the pickiest eater in the world. Worse than a 3 yr old. Anyway, you're all going to love the safari. Seeing the animals up close is really the coolest thing. Now I hope next time Bryan sees Chris he makes fun of him for hangin with the characters LOL

Great pics The one of you guys outside the TH is cute. Can't wait to see and hear more

Thank you, I hate the picture of us outside TH but I'm glad you like it.

Wonderful update. I didn't realize that TH did a photopass picture when you went in. Do they give you a photo to leep to then? I would like to do this some year, but we just aren't early risers. But maybe next year if we go.

I love the dining plan though. It saves us a bunch of money. BUT we usually don't do many breakfasts with it because 1 my family likes to sleep (the horro) and 2 they are cheaper than lucnh and dinner,so we get more of our moneys worth with those.
I still have a list of breakfasts I would like to try someday.

Yepp TH had a PP guy standing there taking everyone's picture and then a CM comes around during the meal trying to sell it to you. It seemed like it was a typical thing there. I don't want to give away if I think we should have gotten the DP yet or not. Its a big part of the rest of the TR! I would highly recommend trying the TH breakfast though and pay for it out of pocket. It was $18.99 for adults and I wanna say $11.99 for kids maybe? Not too bad at all.

I love all of the animal pictures in the safari, especially the baby elephant. Too bad you didn't see more of the lions, but you saw so much!

I also love the pictures of you and Chris with the characters.

The food looks delicious. YUM!

Yes I really cant complain about our safari because we saw alot of animals! Just a little bummed about the lions but oh well, just another reason to go back! TH was great, glad you liked the pictures.

Great update! You've convinced me to add Tusker House to my list for our upcoming trip. I'm anxious to see how your "test" came out with the dining situation.

Yayyy I'm so glad I made someone add TH to their ADRs!! Its great and you guys will just love it! Wait and see how our DP test works out.

Ohhh how I wish I could be on an early morning safari right now. Great pictures. I love the giraffes too!

OMG meeee too Sarah. Actually 4 weeks ago today I was at AK

I'll have to wait until I get home to see the pictures, so that'll be a treat at the end of the day. I forgot that you cant see the photobucket pictures from your job! I'm sorryyyy but it will give you something to look forward to!

Hooray for your freedom from school! yayyy!!!!

It's good to know that you developed a new appreciation for Animal Kingdom. I love that park! There are so many detail to take pictures of, and the animal are doing something different every second. If I lived close by, I'd alternate my evening walks between AK and World Showcase. I would log a lot of miles doing that! Really, I remember not thinking much of AK back when I went as a kid but I love it so much now. The details and everything are just wonderful and I cant wait to go back. Evening walks in AK and WS sounds like bliss!

The best job in Disney World for me would be in the education department of Animal Kingdom or maybe a tour guide anywhere in WDW.

ooooh MeMom that sounds so cool! We play the game for the rest of the week so stay tuned!

Anyway we're sitting there waiting for our buzzer to buzz and we spotted this going on on the side of the outside sitting area by the Dawa Bar.

A whole film crew set up, putting makeup on a few actresses. We had no idea what it was for but we sat there for a while and watched. The only actors we saw at the time were a woman and a young girl. I had a feeling it was for some kind of travel channel special or something which I thought was really cool! After sitting for 15 mins our buzzer went off! Time to go have some yummy breakfast!

Isn't that Kid Rock? j/k wonder if that was set up for Travel Channel or something? Would be neat to know \

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Your morning at AK sounds wonderful! Can't wait to read more!

 

[JenAusty]

Great update! I love the safari in the morning. We always go in the morning.. I wonder how it is in the rest of the day! The pictures were awesome. I don't think we seen a Lion either last time. The giraffes are beautiful! I love them!!! You got really close to them too!

Your food looked yummy! and cute pictures of you and Chris!! I think they all look cute!

 

[punkin413]

funny that we posted our tusker house updates at the same time! we loved it too! i'm glad we went. i'm pretty sure we'll be back! and you're crazy - your update was awesome!!!!

Here's the picture taken of us as we left...still hate it but better than the first one

i love it!

 

[MaceysMom]

Congratulations on your exam scores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Girl when you update, you update. That was a long one. I'm not complaning though, I loved it.

The safari pics are great!! I can't wait to see the hippos, I have never seen any in real life before. I love giraffes too. At the Cincinnati zoo you can feed them peices of sweet potatos through the fence! It is so cool.

I was looking for a breakfast place and Tusker House looks really good. Mike is skeptical about character meals w/o our daughter along, but I think one might be fun.

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

Your pics from the safari are great. It looks like you were so close to some of them. Our pictures of the elephants always look so far away...even w/ the zoom.

We tried to get an ADR for Tusker House for our trip in June, but I made the mistake of waiting until after the 90 day mark, so by the time I called it was fully booked for every morning of our trip. Your review makes me even more bummed because it sounds so good! We are going to Crystal Palace, which I have heard is great too. I will just have to do better w/ my planning next time I guess. So glad you had a great time!

 

[wannago2disney]

Great job on your grades . TH looks like fun, and the food looks YUMMY! Great Updates, looking forward to more.

 

[KrazyKat4DIS]

OK, I can't remember if I have commented on your thread or just been a scary lurker, but I am loving your TR! Can't wait for the next installment!

I am so interested to hear your thoughts on not doing the dining plan, as I can't decide of DBF and I should do it. Seems like you guys are similar to us, so your opinion will definitely help me.

Congrats about being done and your awesome grades! School is so stressful! You definitely need a Disney trip when you're done.

 

[tinkgurl]

Hope you got SOME sleep last night!

 

[Goofy22]

Well I just finally got all caught up on your TR! The TH sounds awesome that is on my list for August for Dinner ! I was thinking of Breakfast too but were not big Breakfast eaters here! But Definitely Dinner were doing a GG there !The pictures are cute!
