Next day was busy. AK and Epcot!!! AND it had finally warmed up enough enough that we could take off our hoodies for awhile!

First up was AK. Stacy and I woke up bright and early…well actually I think Stacy was awake a long time before me Blackberrying or reading or something. We got ready and headed down to Everything POP for breakfast. I somehow flew through the line with my breakfast choices and then couldn’t find Stacy. I finally located her still waiting to pay (it was packed). I made the mistake of waiving to her and completely knocked over my cup of tea, it spilled (and the overflowed) all over my tray and breakfast

I immediately notified a CM who took next to forever to come over to clean it up. I just stood there saying “be careful” over and over again. And then he just threw napkins all over the spill. Um, I could have done that. I figured that POP would actually own a MOP! Guess not. Then I felt terrible that this guy was down on the floor with napkins cleaning my mess. Stacy managed to rearrange the food onto her tray and put my breakfast on her plate so it wouldn’t get all soggy and then found a table. I re-made my tea and we finally sat down to eat.

Next it was onto AK. We noticed that it was less crowded at the bus stops and were hoping that meant that the school groups left yesterday. We got there at opening and headed right to the Safari…briefly stopping for a little Photopass session

The sign at the Safari already said 20 minutes. I figured that it couldn’t be. It did take awhile but that’s because people were walking alone the walkway very slowly and checking out the ambiance of the line. Kinda annoying but I got over it when we were the first group that got to go when they opened the 2nd line!!! Which means we skipped a LOT!!! Yippee!!

Off on our 2 week Safari. See you later!!!

Next up we needed to Battle to Yeti! There was a really long line but they had opened up a single rider line with no wait. We jumped right in it. We didn’t get to sit together but we were in the same train.

I have to tell you, I could feel my blood pressure rising on this one. I’ve only been on EE once and while I LOVE rollercoasters, I was sick when I went on it last time and came out shaking and white. I’ve been afraid of it ever since. I didn’t know if it was the ride or the fact that I wasn’t feeling well before I went on it. But I decided that today was the day I would conquer my fear.

AND I’M SO GLAD I DID!!! It was definitely NOT the ride!!! I loved it this time around! Not nearly as terrifying as I remembered it. I truly loved it…no matter WHAT my face says in this picture…

Doesn’t it look like the Yeti slapped me across the face???

Stacy in comparison looked liked she was taking a Sunday stroll!!

We got off the ride and Stacy was in PAIN…but why???

Oh no you can't leave us hanging here??? What's wrong with Stacy??

 

[Lady Lallie]

Uh Oh!! I hope Stacy is okay.

I love your Yeti photo. I am really trying to hype myself up to try Expedition Everest and Tower of Terror in May. I am going to try to be brave.

I can't believe they didn't have a mop!

Ok ladies...I won't keep you waiting!!!

LL- you've never done either ride???? Oh you must. If you have a weak stomach, take a non-drowsy Dramamine before you leave your hotel room and you'll be fine! I love thrill rides but my stomach didn't starting a couple of years ago (the joys of getting old). I now take a Dramamine every day at Disney and I'm fine.

Stacy had gotten a hot spot on her ankle from her Alice style Crocs. She tried putting on bandaids but they wouldn’t last. By the time we got off Yeti, they were GONE. So we needed to get Stacy help quick. We walked around Asia and there was nothing comfy to be had. I suggested that she just put on another bandaid with socks. She’d look dorky for a couple of minutes but it would save me from pushing her butt around in a wheelchair from the rest of the day!!! So we stopped at this little tree viewing area so she could get some socks. She does have a picture of how beautiful this looked…maybe she’ll care to share???

Meanwhile, I took some pics of the tree (and some light fixtures)

I suggested that we walk up to the front of the park. FOTLK was about to start and we would surely find come comfortable footwear at Island Merchantile…which we did.

On the way, we found DeVine. She is just so pretty, I had to stop and take some pics!

Stacy bought some FAB purple Minnie Janes and was FIXED!!!! Crisis averted. Onto FOTLK!!!

We walked down the walkway and they were screaming for people to hurry up and get inside…which we did. I think they made a comment about our shirts. Since you can’t see the back of them…I should show what they are:

Designed by DISer Tracie!!! She’s amazing and has done most of the DISigns for our Big Give project!

Anyway, we were in the warthog section. Hi Pumba!

I will warn you that I took a ridiculous about of pictures of this too. But I won’t bore you with too many of them

After the show, there was only one thing left that we had to do at AK!

No, I haven't. I get really scared on rides. I'm a wimp. As I get older, I am a lot less adventurous. I have been on Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain. I am really going to try to be brave though and do it. I think I might be better off going by myself because I won't have anyone to freak out too and I can just suck it up.

Oh that is too bad about her Alice crocs! Gotta love the Minnie Janes though.

 

[Diamondintheruff]

I love the monkeys at FOLK.

New shoes are always a reason to celebrate!

If you can do Space Mountain...you can do it. I think Space Mountain is really jerky and that adds to the motion sickness

I love the monkeys at FOLK.

yes they are (Now what am I going to get for my next trip?!?!)

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

You thought it was a ride right???? It wasn’t!!! We had to eat! We had a reservation at Yak & Yeti for Noon…it was only 11:15 at this point but there wasn’t anything else that we “had” to do at AK so we walked back over to see if we could be seated earlier so we could get some extra time in Epcot.

Took some more pictures along the way!

This place is very pretty on the inside and WAYYYY bigger than it looks.

The meal was FAB!!! Seriously fab. Best meal I had all weekend. So much so, that we were planning on skipping AK on our next trip but we might swing by just to eat there!

Yummy Drinks:
Stacy had the Yak Attack and I had the Bonsai Blast

First up: Lettuce Cups for an app

Stacy had the Crispy Honey Chicken and I had the Maple Tamarind Chicken

Lastly, we had the Fried Wontons for dessert (Skewers of pineapple, cream cheese wontons, and strawberries with vanilla ice cream and honey drizzled over it)

Seriously, you almost had to roll us out of there. We could barely move. It took us forever to get to the front of the park to bus it over to Epcot.

Would we make it in time to meet all the Disboutiquers in China at 2pm?!?!

I am so loving your TR! Glad I made it in!

I have the same camera, I love it too and I love FOLK I have 100's of pics of that show!

Isn't that camera great!!! I wish I got it ages ago. I had a film SLR when I had my DD but gave it up when my DD was born because you just need digital with kiddos but with a new baby, didn't have the money laying around for a DSLR. Last year DH gave me the go ahead to do my part to stimulate the economy!!!

Of course you made it in. You'll have to put the group pics in your photobucket account!

great update Kristine! I love AK! Thanks for the food pics! I'm so hungry right now! But I think I could get DH to agree to another Disneyworld trip based solely on your review and photos of Yak & Yeti! Dessert won tons? Who knew? Those look sooooo good. I love the light fixtures in there too. I'm glad you liked EE this time. I think it is in reality rather tame and smooth, but so fun!

It was sooo good!!! Can't say that enough! But is it good enough for us to go over to AK just to do that?!?! I mentioned it to Randy and pointed out that this would require yet another outfit change for Aisling. He officially thinks I'm nuts

How are you feeling?

Darn you with your wonderful Yak N' Yeti review and not to mention the light fixtures! It looks like it is light fixture heaven. I am so wanting to make an ADR there. Do you think it would be weird to order an app and dessert? None of the entrees make me want to jump up and down but the apps and dessert look amazing. Sigh. The problems of obsessive DISers!

Weren't the light fixtures lovely?!?! I knew that you would love them!

That's funny because we wanted to the same thing. Unfortunately on the meal plan you can't get an app as your "entree" but if you were paying OOP...go for it! The lettuce cups and wontons would have been enough for me.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Knew a mommy would appreciate that!!!

Hey completely unrelated to this...I have a dance question. How hard is it to sew up sequin straps? They ordered my 5 year old a child's LARGE for her dance costume. It's huge. It's a new company and last year the costumes ran really really small and all the parents had to trade around. So this year she ordered big just in case...but they are just way too huge. Nothing I can do about how baggy it is but I can take up the straps to make it a little more "modest" KWIM??? But they are sequins. Any suggestions???

The pink/orange one is her costume. Theme is Circus Circus

Try taking a big tuck on each side, from the arm hole down to where it gets fluffy--I had to do that on one of my granddaughter's costumes many years ago. It shouldn't be too difficult to sew the sequins--but be sure to use a heavy duty needle. Good luck!
