Snow to 80 in 8 days–A spoonful of Holiday Cheer (2/5 update Ch 36 - Final Thoughts)

[KatMark]

Nice update, Marv. We have never seen the bird show at AK.

I love how they do the drawing on the sidewalk with the water and broom -- way cool.

You got some good photos of the Safari.

 

[Flossbolna]

Ha! I got the water and broom thing!! Great updates as always. The bird show is really nice, I should have guessed that...

And your boys' pictures on PW are very funny.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

i cant believe disney keeps programing those animatronics to lay down while working the safari what lazy bums.





and we need to have pirate kate stop with her guessing she is ruining the game for everyone who is not smart enough to get 7 right each round.



at least i have more bonus points than everyone

 

[goofy's_gurl]

Ahh, your TR is making me more an more excited to go in December!

Hey, Dan- I'll trade you some correct answers* for future contests, in exchange for some of your bonus points. I think I could use about 10 extra bonus points...

*No guarantees, refunds, or exchanges in the event that correct answers are deemed incorrect by the judging committee.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Did better this round!

I love Primevel Whirl - haven't been on it for awhile though. Danny won't ride it (won't ride the teacups either - can't handle spinning rides). On our "bonus" trips I don't go to Animal Kingdom. And on our family trips, especially the last couple years, the boys take off and do their own thing most of the time. I think it's supposed to be closed during this trip so I will miss it again.

I need to take the time and watch the Bird show again. We've only seen it once and that was several years ago.

Okay girlfriend, we need to meet up in the world and go on all the "spinny" rides together! Jim won't go on those, either! I love PW!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Marv, I'm sending my Chapter 11 answers tonight - thanks for the reminder!

I see I answered your Chapter 10 adventures in chapter 9 somehow I'll chalk it up to just being ahead of the game!

I'm glad you were finally able to gather your family together and get on that Safari!

Oh, and some people are still cruising with me - just sayin'

Then we jumped in the single rider line and were quickly boarding for our journey to brave the Yeti! The first time I rode I wasn’t in a seat that allowed me to get a good picture of another “secret” shared by Glenn.

I love this little secret too! Though last trip, it scared the crap out of my DD7! I suppose it does look kind of menacing, especially with a torn up track in front of you.

After surviving another trek through the Forbidden Mountain, the next logical choice for thrill ride junkies at AK is Dinosaur. No matter how many times we ride Dinosaur, it never ceases to thrill us and scare us as evidenced by our redneck ride photo.

Awesome picture! It looks like you're doing a dinosaur impression with hands all scrunced up! And I love how bored the dudes behind you look. How can you be bored on that ride? It's just not possible. We love it though last time I think I dislodged my appendix...

Having survived our first two “must-do’s” in Animal Kingdom it was time to finally head towards the rest of the park. As we headed back through Dinoland we came across a CM doing some artwork with water and a mop that we had never seen before. I thought this was really cool and had to stop and take a few pictures.

We saw this last trip and were mesmorized. It was like a work of art and the guy drew it so fast!

The boys finally get on the ride and as they exit the loading area I get salute number two. As you can tell Drew doesn’t get very excited on this ride……….

Oh wait, he was just playing possum……. A Drew salute for Jen too!

Aw, your boys are such cuties Marv! They all seem to have that mischievous twinkle, wonder who they got THAT from... Don't say Ali!

I don’t think they like this ride……..

Ok, this is my favorite picture! So sweet to see how much fun they're having together!

With Primeval Whirl behind us we left Dinoland and headed back towards the rest of the park. On the way we saw these guys. They seemed to be having a good time.

These guys are awesome! We stopped a couple of times to listen and it was really cool.

While waiting for Alison to arrive the boys decided to pose for some pictures. Sadly there isn’t enough room in this TR to post the picture of the sign asking you to please stay off. But then I didn’t see it until after we took the pictures either.

Love the pics! Is there really a sign that says that? Yikes, my DD's climbed all over it while I snapped pics too. Oops.

Anyone think this might be a Hidden Mickey???

Totally.

 

[3prettyprincesses]

When we arrived for Birds of Wonder it wasn’t quite show time yet. There was a CM in front answering questions about the owl she had on display.

Ok, I don't know what's creepier, the CM's eyes or the owls!

We've never done this show, mostly because the idea of large birds swooping near my head kind of freaks me out. But it does look pretty amazing.

After the show we headed back to Expedition Everest so Alison could ride for the first time. It was time to use up some of the FPs we had gotten earlier in the day.

Once again, nice fingernails. They're not yours though are they?

Great update. You captured some great safari pics, the colors came out really vibrant too! Good work!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

You know, I totally blanked on Primeval Whirl. It's like I've permanently blocked DinoLand from my brain, and just assume nobody goes over there. Good call not getting on board with the boys!

ill take 5 of your future correct answers for 10 bonus points as i rack up the bonus points but have a little issue with the regular questions...lets ask marv if he'll do that.

 

[mom3sonstt]

It's a date!

Then we jumped in the single rider line and were quickly boarding for our journey to brave the Yeti! The first time I rode I wasn’t in a seat that allowed me to get a good picture of another “secret” shared by Glenn.

That Glenn has revealed so many secrets that he doesn't even remember what secrets he's revealed!

Nice picture, by the way.

As we headed back through Dinoland we came across a CM doing some artwork with water and a mop that we had never seen before. I thought this was really cool and had to stop and take a few pictures.

I guessed the right thing, but tried to get a bonus point by guessing the character, and missed on that one.

The interesting thing about this ride is it always reminds me of my favorite English DISfriend Rosie for one simple reason…….

Dang. I had Dinosaur! and Primeval Hurl in the wrong order.

I told Alison we would wait for her there and as soon as she passed under the Discovery Island sign she should see us. From there we would head over to the Kilimanjaro Safari. Is anyone seeing the flaw in this plan???

You mean aside from the fact that it was formulated by Marv?

It was worth it -- those are nice pictures!

Jonathan told me he wanted to step in and watch Birds of Wonder while we waited.

Our last trip to Animal Kingdom we were invited to stay after the Birds of Wonder show and help them test one of the new birds.

When we arrived for Birds of Wonder it wasn’t quite show time yet.

It's Flights of Wonder. Gaaaaah! Are you sure you really went to Animal Kingdom?

The King of the Jungle

It looks like a King of the Jungle rug.

When we arrived for Birds of Wonder it wasn’t quite show time yet. There was a CM in front answering questions about the owl she had on display.

Whoa. Which one's which?

No bird show is complete without the American Eagle!

Speaking of which, I like Sam the eagle from the Muppet Show. Now there's an eagle.

Everyone was excited to see what I wanted to show them except Jonathan. He wanted to hang around and ride Everest and other rides some more, so we told him to stay behind and have fun, but make sure he met us on time at Yak & Yeti for our dinner ADR.

Yes! I lucked-out on that one.

 

[englishrose47]

I'm waiting for #11 answers and my huge rack of points !!!!

 

[jenb1023]

Me too Rosie!!! I think Marv should just give us the same score that Kate gets!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

That Glenn has revealed so many secrets that he doesn't even remember what secrets he's revealed!

yeah aint that some stuff, on my glenn secret revealed for chapter one, i put that you had revealed the secret of the yeti print and he took a picture of it, but he didnt post it till the next chapter, so i got no points for it...im gonna have to lobby to the rules committe. he had to go with a trail entrance...



"Rules Commitee"
Formal Complaint.

It has come to our attention that Fauntleroy, has correctly identified a Glenn Secret, but you have failed us in mentioning it in the correct chapter, so thus one point should be awarded to his score, which should be made effective immediatly.

Yours truley.

Good Luck with The Rules Committee

I should personally complain about 0 points for guessing Dinasaur instead of Primevil Whirl

[KatMark]

Marv, I meant to ask you. Is this how handsome you were at this age? He is a DEAD RINGER for his Dad.

Kathy, You're supposed to be sucking up for points, not disqualifying yourself!!!
