Sometimes the Best Plan is to Forget the Plan!!

[MouseKTeer]

Wow! Gone for only a few days, but so much to catch up on--you've been busy

OK--so here are my favorites:

The video of Landon walking back and forth to follow the ray. So precious! I could watch that over and over.

The caricature of Landon is wonderful! And it reminds me of our trip with DD and DS many years ago, when we also had caricatures done--we framed them and still have them!

The photo of your mom holding Simba and you holding Landon

The "jungle cat pose" of you and Landon

and

how funny about your mom's reaction to the kiss with Mickey

Lovin' the updates...

again i love your photo pass pics from animal kingdom LOL wow you guys were early rises being there a hour before the park opens LOL i think we got to the parks right at opening or a little after LOL!! your breakfast looks good and it looks like there was a lot of character interaction there! I think we were at animal kingdom that same day as me-- the day it rained but at least there was a breeze blowing in the park that day-- that park can be so hot and humid someimtes !! Landon looks so cute in his little outfit it looks like a litle safari outfit LOL and you look very nice too love the curly hair. I can't wait to hear about your other adventures

All this talk about food has me STARVING! I'm dieting - no fun.

I had a fiber bar for breakfast.

A single serving of broccoli and cheese for lunch and a yogurt for dessert.

Nothing since. And all of this talk about bacon, and gravy and biscuits has my stomach churning loudly!

Oh dieting is no fun!! I skipped breakfast this morning, so my stomach is churning just thinking about it too! Man, I sure miss being on the Deluxe Dining Plan!! I wish I was in real life... haha!

I actually don't know where exactly you can get the songs from the show, but I'm sure somewhere around WDW there's a CD with them!

Aw..Landon looks so sleepy!

That would be a great cd to have!

He was super sleepy, but still so good! He really liked these characters!

Yay! I can't wait to see the ones at Chef Mickey's then! That's awesome that it only affected your meal once! There was a poor little baby on the monorail one time that was screaming bloody murder. He was only 3 months old. Poor guy. So it's really good that Landon was so great!

Oh poor little guy!! Landon's always been so great!! As long as he rested and fed, he's great! The only time he's been really fussy was when he had ear infections in each ear and even then, he was fine as long as he was being held!! I'm so lucky...and it really terrifies me for my next kid! I don't think anyone gets that lucky twice!!

I'm glad you're back!!
I love that video too. I have to get my videos of him when he's distracted. I try to get ones of him walking at home and he just comes over to me and wants to play with the camera so I can never get good ones!
Oh I bet you love those caricatures of your kids!! That's so special! I know i will always treasure Landon's!
We got some good pics in AK! Glad you like them too! The ones you mentioned are my favorite!
Yeah, my mom is in LOVE with Mickey. Its so funny!

Thanks!! We were SUCH early risers! But we never even stayed all day. It just worked better for us. I don't know how we did it though!! With the 2 hour time difference, it was like going to 6am breakfasts for us!! But we all wake up at that time every day anyway, so thats probably how we did it!

Thats so funny that you called Landon's outfit his safari outfit! Thats what I called it!

I'll be updating soon!

The bacon wasn't bad!!

I can remember at least one breakfast buffet (out of 4!) has biscuits and gravy but can't remember which one or if more did! I'm so sorry!!

How do you make your ones?! Now you've got me wanting some....

they are very easy to make, i use to use bob evans sausage, one regular(white tube) and one hot (red tube) brown that up together, then once it is cooked draine off the fat, add about 3-4 tablespoons of flour to the cooked sausage and while it is still on the heat, stir the flour into sausage so it all desolves, (that is what will make the gravy nice and thick and not clumpy if you were to add the flour later in the cooking.

then once the flour is all cooked in about 30 seconds to 1 minute after you add it, pour milk in the pan till it covers the sausage, the more milk the thinner it will be...dont be scared if you think you add to much milk, it will thicken up as it cooks, stir so it does not stick and burn once it is getting thicker

now i get my pork from a farmer, and have them add an amish seasoning blend to the ground pork sausage, so i dont use bob evans anymore, but thta is still a very good and easy reciepe i gave you above, the hot does not make it too spicy but anice heat...if you dont like spicey at all, then dont add the hot package, just use to regular.


i have a feeling you will be making it this weekend now that i got you hungry.


i made some last weekend.

the reason i say mine is better, is cause it seems everytime you get it at a restaurant they make theres too thin, to stretch it out farther, this one turns out thick with lots of meat.

OH MY! That sounds so yummy! May have to make some for my guys this weekend, though I can't have any. Dieting.

YUM! Will be trying this very soon!

So after our delicious breakfast, we go on a good ol’ Kilimanjaro Safari!! The wait is maybe 5 minutes.

Landon really liked the bolts on the vehicle.

This giraffe crossed the street right behind us.

Not even halfway through the ride, look who passed out!

The safari must’ve rocked him to sleep! He didn’t even wake up as we went over the extra bumpy parts!

Can you guys see the big lion?!

Then we passed this guy:

My mom yelled at him “LOOK OUT!! KIMMY’S GOING TO EAT YOU!!” I can’t help that ostrich is delicious! I told her that I was going to have to start screaming at cows that she was going to eat them, if she felt like alerting the ostriches.

Then after that, we trekked over to Expedition Everest!! I had been so excited for this ride!! And it did not disappoint!! I’m “one of those people” on roller coasters. You know the kind…screaming with my hands in the air the whole time!! I just love it. Such a rush! Especially the going backwards!! I was sad though…I didn’t even see the yeti! I completely must have just missed him. Oh well!! Another excuse to go back.

Then we grabbed fast passes. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted one of those cute little furry yeti’s but we just decided we’d buy it when we came back to use the Fast Passes. So we headed over to Dinoland to ride Dinosaur!

Ok…here are my real honest thoughts. I thought this queue was great. I was so excited. I was ready to be terrified as I read that many people are on the Dis. I wasn't though. I liked it because I liked Dinosaurs, but I think I had overhyped it in my head.

After that, we went and rode Primevral Whirl (sp?!). This was the LONGEST wait of our entire trip. Probably about 25 minutes. We just wanted to see it. It looked like it could be fun. And it was okay…just not worth that wait!

We meet back up with my mom and Landon. They got a drink and are sitting at a table. And then…my mom claims that her feet hurt. Again. Even with her new shoes. My dad was NOT happy. He told her no. She pouted. And then we went to Camp Mickey Minnie!!

I love these:

My parents and Landon got in line for Festival of the Lion King, while I saw the bears from Brother Bear come out!! I went to go meet them!! (They didn’t have a line, they were just getting into mischief!)

(I have a video of this that I’ll upload later!)

Aw!! Me and Koda! I LOVE this picture!!

Then I went and got some waters, a Mickey ice cream bar for my mom and a frozen strawberry thing. I shared my frozen strawberry thing with Landon a little! He was also drinking some of the water! The little guy was thirsty and drinking just fine from the bottle but then my dad got this bright idea to make the lid a little cup for Landon. It was so cute how proud my dad was of that. Lol.

We got in and we were in the LION section! YAY! That is great, especially for my mom. The Lion King is her favorite movie after all. Here are some pics from the show!

Though Landon would sometimes watch the show, he pretty much just stared at that giant Pumbaa the whole time! It was just to the left of us. He was so interested in it!! It was funny.

Now we had been planning on having either the Picnic in the Park or Flame Tree Barbeque for lunch. Except when we got out, it was pouring! And my mom’s feet were still hurting.

I was going to go back to the character trails, but they left almost as soon as we got in line due to lightning in the area.

My parents didn’t want to walk back to Asia just to use our EE fast passes. Sadly. I say just because we all forgot about my yeti. Had any of us remembered, we would’ve gone back to ride and get that. So we left.

But now what we would do?!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

You got to see some great animals on your safari! Too funny how your mom yelled out to the ostrich. I love how babies can sleep almost anywhere.

I liked EE pretty good. Not my favorite, but I'd ride it as often as anyone wanted to. Dinosaur, same. I liked it, too, but a little rough for me! Mitchell keeps talking about the Dinosaur ride and how he wants to go again. Primevil Whirl - one of my faves!

Festival of the Lion King - I liked it okay. it was a little long for me. It was good and I felt like I was watching something from Broadway or something, but I got bored with it before it was over. I know, I know - putting my flame suit on!

Cute Picture with Koda!

Our safari was great!! Don't you wish you could just sleep anywhere?! And be carried all the time...haha!

Dinosaur was rough!! I wish they could add some more stuff to get my adrenaline pumping and not make it so rough! Maybe the rocky terain makes it seem scarier for some people? To me, it was just like an insanely bumpy ride with huge animatronics. I wanted to be scared!! (I think I may be an adrenaline junkie!)

I know what you mean about FOTLK! It was kinda long, but still good.

I love Koda!! SO cute!! We're good friends now.

 

[tinkgurl]

Woo! This was an awesome update! I love the Safari and you got some great pictures. That's hilarious that Landon fell asleep! It gets so bumpy out there!

Aw, I love Brother Bear. That is really a cute picture of the two of you.

Woo! FOTLK is the best. I always get goosebumps. And I like to sing along...out loud..and embarass my Sis.

Aw thanks! Glad you liked it!! I loved the safari!! I was so surprised that Landon fell asleep! He missed us chasing the poachers!!

And I'm also a sing out loud and embarrass everyone who knows me kind of person. I don't save it just for singing along with shows either...we can just be walking along with no music.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

No need to torture myself, right?

your right might as well go for a full serving of 4 buiscuits.

YUM! Will be trying this very soon!

good luck with it

[princess_momma]

[lauren_elizabeth]

Hahahahaha! I literally laughed out loud when I read what your mama yelled to the ostrich about you eating him! Hey, you can't help it if they taste delicious! Right?

Looks like yall had awesome seats for Festival of the Lion King!

Isn't EE so much fun?! I love that roller coaster!

 

[princess_momma]

I have wanted to do that pic for so long!! I thought it would be cute! I won't be able to do it again until I have another baby! Landon was almost to big to hold like that!

Hahahahaha! I literally laughed out loud when I read what your mama yelled to the ostrich about you eating him! Hey, you can't help it if they taste delicious! Right?

My mom is funny and ostrich is delicious. Just facts of life!
We had great seats! I insisted on sitting close and also on the edge in case Landon had issues!!
EE is SO FUN!! I LOVE rollercoasters...and going backwards and fast and drops! I wish WDW had more that went upside down though!
