Great update! I love the Safari. It really is a different ride everytime! And I bet you have a great evening. AK really does clear out after the parade.
Lately we've had a lot of really good ones. On some past trips when we've gone to AK in the afternoon we might see an animal here or there. I wonder if they are trying to do more to keep them in people's view.
nice update!!!
I loved working the parade at AK!
Random question..when I was a presenter and we had a parade rotation, where you stood is where we would stand but one person inside the ropes and one outside the ropes.
Did you see any presenters doing parade control? They'd be in khaki and red shirts. When I was there in March they were in the AK ent. with bug boxes for the rope drop of AK. I didn't know if those positions were elminated or not, if so thats crazy!
Hmm, that is a good question. I know I saw parade control people but I don't remember if they were wearing red shirts. Sorry, that's no help.
I love that your dad read the Hidden Magic book too! I hope that a part 2 is made because that was so fun to read.
Oh wow, I've never seen a giraffe sitting like that before.
That would be cool if they did a second one.
I think the giraffe was just standing behind the grass but I did see some giraffes sitting down. That was just weird!
Say whaaaaaat? You were IN the parade? Christmas trees?!
If you could put a caption bubble over the elephant, what would it say?
My second
say whaaaat? of this update... spitting?!
What was their point?
LOL, yeah, on our trip in Jan. '08 it was our last day and we were at the AK in the afternoon. We were waiting for FOTLK in Camp Minnie Mickey when a CM started talking to us. She asked us what our plans were for the afternoon and then asked if we wanted to be in the parade! It was sooo cool. They gave us a disposable camera (they took all the families' pictures as the parade started) but I think Mom threw it away before we ever got it developed.
Ugh, I know, that was just so stupid. I don't know where people come up with some of these ideas.
Great safari pictures! I didn't get any good giraffe pictures this trip
The wait times looked the same the day before. We also found them to be off from the attractions board posting. Except Kali. That line was loooong!
I was a little surprised Kali was so long but it's not like we were planning on doing that anyway. What if our luggage didn't show up?! haha
What lovely pictures! Believe it or not, we have never seen the parade in AK.
I LOVE the safari! You've read my PTR. You know our new love for it. I may have to get the hidden magic book.
Oh yes, I know you guys all love the safari. That was so awesome how you got to ride the first one of the day.
Great update!
I'm sure you enjoyed the rest of your evening at AK. To me, the evening is the best time at AK---It cools off a little bit, and the crowds thin out. 
I agree!
Great update girl!
I agree, the posted wait times and the actual wait times are usually 2 different things! But wow- Kali was posted as 100 minutes?!
Aw, the parade!
I'm trying to figure out exactly where you were..I think we were right across from you. We were right by the Dawa bar.
I love that pic of the posters! Isn't the "Hidden Magic" book awesome?!
Yup, you must've been right across from us because we were on the opposite side of the Dawa Bar. We were on the side where there's those couple stores.
The Hidden Magic book was so cool. Makes you appreciate all those added touches that first timers might not notice.
Great pictures of both the parade and the safari!
We had a family that kept getting in trouble for letting their kids stand up during one of our safari rides last trip as well, they didn't listen when the driver asked them to sit down either
Probably the same kind of people who would sue Disney if their child fell and got hurt while breaking said rule......
Thanks!
That is just crazy. Seriously, why would you stand up on the safari??? It's sad that some people act like that.
Even though the wait time posted outside the safari had dropped to 20 minutes during the parade, it didn't take us anywhere near that long to get boarded. In fact it only took us about 5 minutes to get to where they collect the fastpasses and the lines come together.
This was the first time we walked behind the Tusker House and looked at some of the things there. We also heard the sound of breaking dishes and a woman's voice coming from out of one of the second floor windows at the back of the building. One of those hidden touches.
Yeah, it might've taken 10-15 min.
The breaking dishes was pretty funny.
Great update!
You took some awesome pictures!
That's so cool that you got to participate in a Disney parade! That is a dream of my family's
Can't wait to see your pictures of Asia!
Thanks!
It was one of my dreams too. I was bummed that it was our last day in Disney but that made it a little better.
Love the update. I really like your pictures.
I have not seen the Jammin' Jungle parade in years. It is def on my "must see" list this year. It seems that when we go to DAK it is always so dang hot that I can't get anyone to stay long enough to see the parade. My family teases me and tells me that they don't understand why I NEED to see every single parade, every single trip.
.
Loving your TR!
Thanks Sophia.
LOL, we hardly ever see the parades either. I know if my sister had been along we probably wouldn't have bothered.
Glad you're enjoying the TR!
I just thought it was appropriate to mention here since we were on the topic!
