The MCLOVINS Hit the World - HARD!!!!! *COMPLETED*

[YukiPhnx]

Speaking of the dancing in Glee, I loved the part in Toxic when Kurt held two top hats over Mercedes' chest. That was awesome.

I also really liked Artie in Stronger. But I'm just a big fan of his voice. The dance number.....yeah....not so great.

And yes, omg, I'm so in love with Heather Morris' body. She's such a great dancer! Her body is to DIE FOR.

Yeah, I loved the part with Emma and the grapes too! "It was madness, pure madness!"

Oh, how I wish Uncle Jesse will stay. He looked soooo good on the show. I hope he'll be singing soon!!!

I was disappointed with the last song too. Where's my Britney???

Yeah, it's become one of those theme episode type things. They get people to look forward to the next show through the next "theme". I just want them to actually progress the show already. What about nationals? If they didn't even place in regionals, how are they even qualifying for nationals??? I thought you had to win regionals to move on or something.

I love Bieste. She's such a sweetheart.

And I agree about Lea as Britney. I mean, it was nice to see Baby one more time again, but......moving the song up a couple of keys.....I was hoping they'd keep it more original. Her voice is REALLY high. Besides this, I've always loved the songs she's performed.

 

[Cat0727]

Next week looks good but I just hate how everything has to be THEMED now. Like this is the religion episode. They need more episodes where the focus is the STORY and whatever songs happen to fit into that fit and that's it.

Sheesh, Glee. Sheesh.

I agree! It was basically one whole music video. And when they do that the story lines get awkward...not to mention I thought it was inappropriate for Will to be performing with the Glee kids, and just bizarre. I'm glad Sue pulled the alarm Love her!

Ahh Sue. That reminds me of her chair and the butt-sweat stain left on it. I can't believe she even called him into her office, and let him sit down in the first place! OMG, that was hilarious

It's the beginning of a new school year so everything starts over again. At least that's what I'm assuming but in the world of Glee who knows!

Sue is by far the best part of the show. No matter how bad it gets if she is still there with her amazing lines I will still watch.

Ahh Sue. That reminds me of her chair and the butt-sweat stain left on it. I can't believe she even called him into her office, and let him sit down in the first place! OMG, that was hilarious

I love when insane stuff like that happens on the show b/c could you imagine that happening at a real school???! And yet they just glaze over it LOL.

Day 4, Part 4 In Which Bats Flash Us and Tigers Kiss

Our next stop was the Maharajah Jungle Trek. I was ready to get my hands on some tigers! Well... not literally. I WISH. Just a sidenote. I DID hold a tiger once. At a big mall in North Carolina (that was carpeted... WEIRD) they had a teenage(?) (it looked like Simba when they show him growing up with Timon and Pumbaa and he isn't a cub but isn't full grown either) tiger. Now do not ask me how the heck this was legal but you could hold this tiger and take a picture with it. At my naive age of 12, I did not realize this, I thought it was just a nice tiger, but now I know that it had to be drugged. I mean even in the polaroid they took of us, it's just kind of laying there on me all sad. Nowadays I would never pay money for something like that and support using animals as props in that way but I didn't know back then. Sad. Wow Lia, way to bring this down right away.

I know. Best trip report you have ever read. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT!

Let's see here...A HA!

You're welcome. Again.

OK!! BACK TO THE MAGIC THAT IS WALT DISNEY WORLD'S ANIMAL KINGDOM!

On my solo 2008 trip, I spent about 78 hours here observing the tigers and bats. Omg, I fell in love with bats on that trip. I just love them. They are adorable little bears with wings, you guys.

We met this dragon:

He was not amused.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful areas of Disney World as far as greenery is concerned.

I love this:

I'm just so jealous that there are real life adventurers in the jungles of Asia right now coming across real signs like this. I mean, I would be terrified beyond reason, but who cares? We all have to die one day and mauled by a tiger is a cool story. I mean not that I want to be. But I think it would be worth the risk. But I really am terrified of the jungle. Just because of the spiders alone. It makes me think of the scene in Arachnophobia where they put those baskets on the ground and freeze the tree so all the tarantulas fall out and they can see if there is a new species. I MEAN WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING ACTUAL F ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING THAT GO TO THE JUNGLE!!!!?!?!! WELL... They want adventure. And so do I. So hopefully one day I will see one of these signs for real. Until then, I maintain that one of the best reasons to go to Disney World is to safely experience things you otherwise would never get to. This is the closest to the experience of trekking through the jungle and running into tigers that I will probably ever get, and yeah, I know it's not real, but... the plants are real. The path is marked. THE TIGERS ARE REAL. So I can suspend my disbelief and say, Yes, I am entering the Asian jungles. Ahhhh, Disney.

YAY TIME FOR THE BATS OMG

I love them so.

This reminds me of Dracula. Speaking of Dracula, does anyone else remember that weird 70's Halloween special, "The Halloween That Almost Wasn't" or something? Where all that witch wants is for Dracula to take her disco dancing and then she'll allow Halloween to happen?? God, why did I have to miss the 70's? What a fantastic premise. I think now when guys hit on me I will be like YOU NEED TO TAKE ME DISCO DANCING AND THAT IS THAT OR ELSE THIS KITCHEN IS CLOSED.

But... I digress.

How badly do you guys want a bat? Not so much? Well I do. I would pet him and welcome him to land on my shoulder. He wouldn't bite me because of course I would get a nice bat. He would adore me and would be worth having just so I could freak people out by having a special call that I could call out. I would just be talking to a person normally and then I would make this odd noise which would be startling to them. And then my bat would come out of NOWHERE and land on my shoulder. It would be very poised and we would just stare at the person until they ran away out of fear.

Now that is a plan.

ANYWAY. I don't know if I am allowed to say, here on the DIS, the word that starts with a P and identifies male private parts. All I can say is that if you would like to see one, go to Animal Kingdom. That would be quite a tagline for the parks, wouldn't it? "ANIMAL KINGDOM:The place to be for male private part viewing from 9am - 6pm. Arrive early to ensure a clear view."

This would bring the crowds in like wildfire.

But of course I am not talking about HUMAN males. Whew. No. But the bats, you know. They just don't care. Being an animal is great because you don't have to wear any clothes and you can poop anywhere and no one says anything. On my 2008 trip I took many pictures of the bats and their pieces. When I told people about my amazing and crazy Disney trip, which included many great adventures, EVERYONE was most excited about this. BRING OUT THE BAT PRIVATES!! They would say. Well, okay.

My mom, like everyone else, was fascinated by this and so she was disappointed when we got to the bats and their thingies were not on display. I was like, HELLO. There are still LIVE ASIAN BATS. Right in front of you. Who cares if they aren't... popping out? They're still amazing!!

I could seriously stare at this picture alone for like a day. I JUST LOVE THEM.

I don't know what that yellow umbrella-y thing is but I imagined a bunch of bats hiding under there and then suddenly FLYING out and attacking guests. My point is I watch too many horror movies.

We stood for awhile, admiring and discussing the bats. It's funny how even though I was dying to see the tigers, the bats captivate me too, and so I just wasn't in any rush. I love when one of them flies to another prayer flag line thingie. It's exciting and a bit scary because my brain instantly goes to IT HAS SPOTTED ME IT IS AFTER ME SOMEONE HELP. I don't know how they stop the bats from coming through and flying to where the people are, which is weird cause that's usually the kind of Disney trick I'm in on! My mom kept asking and asking, but I genuinely don't know.

Soon enough, as if they knew I was back, the bats whipped 'em out. Is this in any way appropriate for this FAMILY board? I don't know. They are just bats. Doin' their THANG. It's natural. But not for ages 18 and under. I guess. DISCLAIMER.

OK OK I know your eyes go right to the bat privates but do me a favor and look at the bat on the left. It's little feet hanging on the vine that look JUST LIKE OUR HANDS!!! I mean come on. I am fascinated. Ok onto the rest of the genatalia.

Again the dude on the left... just look at their body structure and how it's so much like ours! Oh and see how our friend on the right is reaching up at his piece? They kept licking at themselves and such. As they say... because he can.

I love all of the ones hanging in the distance.

Heh. Heh. Heh. Hey Beavis. I can see that dude's thing. Heh. Heh Heh. Yeah. You can like, totally see it. Heh. Heh Heh.

Sorry, i'm 12.

Next.

There was this python in a tank. I feel bad that the snakes can't roam free like everything else but I mean they still get to live at Disney World and I do not so what can I say? He took a long time to spot. This is all we could see of him, but I still found it pretty cool:

In a tank next to him was this yittle turtle!!! I couldn't get a good picture, him swimmin' too fast!

How exciting this would be for Alexis of Jon & Kate Plus 8. Yeah I am going there. Does anyone remember that episode? Best episode ever. THAT TURTLE'S YOOKIN AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Him a yittle guy. Him a baby!!!!!!!!

Sigh. I want kids. But we can discuss that later.

The bat room is just really cool. I love to take the time and read the posters and things.

If Batman's bat cave was decorated this way, he would have solved more crimes, just saying. I mean, he did okay, but Joe Rhode wasn't in his life and that is no way to live.

Outside of the bat room:

TIGER TIME OMG!!!!!!

CONTINUED IN NEXT POST

 

[__disneygirl]

So there were only two tigers visible and one of them was just kinda sittin there all like "Yeaaaaah, I'm a tiger. Gotta problem?"

but the other one was on the other side of this cliff fountainy thing:

You can see the tiger I showed close-ups of above allll the way on the left in the shadows. The other tiger was on the other side, not visible here, and was just walking around. So much so that I couldn't really get a good picture of him or her. I love how they walk, like YEAH, I OWN THIS PLACE. SO FIERCE. Oh man, I just used fierce in the way it was intended by whoever made up the word. That almost never happens - I usually use it to describe a fine looking glamorous person!!

Ok, so walking tiger walked along that ledge very carefully, with such grace. Then it approached the sitting tiger, "kissed" it, and went on it's way up the hill and out of sight. OMG, I was too stunned for pics, it was just beautiful! When I say kissed, I mean that like, it put it's face against the other's for a second. It was an obvious sign of affection, or kind of just like, "Hi honey! I'm checking in!" like a married couple would do. It was just too adorable. I was so happy because at first they weren't really doing anything. I mean, it's still fascinating to watch tigers do nothing, but if you just wait it out a bit, there is kissing!!

Here is the tiger walking away after kissing the other tiger:

They are obviously in love.

Oh and the tiger who got kissed turned around and wouldn't look at anyone after that, as if it was all embarrassed and shy.

Such pretty stripes.

I tweeted: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH tigers!! Tigers!!! I just saw real live Siberians hugging and kissing!!! I'm dying!!! Lallaalala

Through the ruins of Maharajah...

Such gorgeous colors. Can you spot the Hidden Mickey? I feel like this is one of those ones everyone is aware of but maybe not!

I'm really in love with the prayer flags. They are definitely on my shopping list for next trip.

[__disneygirl]

Next was the bird watching area where they give you the laminated sheet with all the pictures and you can find them. It was such a great experience. I think a lot of people go through the Trek waiting to see tigers, and then just pass on by this, but my mom and I really found it fun. The birds are just RIGHT THERE, I mean you could grab one if you were an idiot who does that sort of thing. And you see birds you never have seen in your life and they are just flying all around you, so many different kinds. We had such a good time pointing them out to each other, we spent a good 20 minutes doing it.

Judging you right now.

Love this exit:

Here is something I don't believe I noticed in the past.

On a brick wall outside of the Trek's exit, there are faded Asian movie posters on the wall. God Disney is the coolest place ever. I just can't. Omg. I know i've said this before, but I URGE YOU! To look around. Don't just speed over to Everest, please. You will miss so much.

Up next: The event that caused me to make the Kilimanjaro Safari truck shake even more violently than usual!

Finally! After a few days of reading...I am all caught up! This is one of the few TR's that really capture my ADD self and for that I am so thankful. You are as nutty and scattered and at the same time so centered at what matters. Truly, I feel like I am reading something I could have written or said and it makes me feel a little less craptastic crazy!

My fiance and I are heading to WDW in less than 2 weeks and now, I have a mission to observe bat hoohobbers. Yes, I actually wrote that on a vague piece of paper that will never make it to the park but writing it will help me remember.

You have made me laugh till I thought I would scare a neighbor with the fits and snorts that might make him think I was indeed choking on something. I also giggled with the thoughts of you and my oldest son who is also 20 (who by the way is wanted at Space Mountain for having his photo taken in the near buff - In one of the TR's below you will find photographic evidence) and the hi-jinks you two would come up with. It would be a riot to sit back and watch you guys laughing at others all in the name of good fun and not meanness. Wait - have you written on one of my TR's before? Hmmmm...maybe you have...if so my name is Dory. Nuff said.

So - l applaud your TR and can't wait for more!

Yay!!

Thanks so much for your kind words. It means a lot especially b/c I LOVELOVELOVE your TRs! I have posted on them a few times and I remember your sons topless on Space Mountain... I mean how could I forget! That was way more hilarious than anything I could come up with honestly

I like that you made a note about the bats and I also like the term "hoohobbers" which I had never even heard before! Thank you for introducing it to me, it will most certainly be used again. Also the good thing about bat hoohobbers is that you WILL remember once you get there, even if you are Dory. Things like hoohobbers are memorable, especially when they're in your face. At DISNEY WORLD, no less!

Thanks again Dawn!!!

 

[Dizneydawn]

Yay!!

Thanks so much for your kind words. It means a lot especially b/c I LOVELOVELOVE your TRs!
See...I thought I did recognized your avatar and then thought I would go look but decided to say screw it because I was too lazy. So thanks for confirming I am not a complete numbskull. I equally adore you and you should be an adopted family member if we are ever in the world at the same time!!!

Really? How about vajayjay for a womans pretty kitty? I have a ton of them I can share!

BTW - I just heard a story that you will love. Remember on my very first PTR where I shared the story of a friend who "lost" her pidipple going down the toboggan racers at BB when her dry body connected with dry slide? Well if you don't, go back to my first TR, 1st page and there are links to the best of the PTR stories. I swear you will laugh!

Anyway...I swear to heaven, they just talked about how a woman ripped her pidipple off for real at a water park last week because she was going down face first and same thing. Skid onto an un-wet area. She had just had a mammary re-do and they had gone in through her pidipple and then sewed it back on.

Well the friggin idiot went to a water park less than 3 weeks later and when she skidded on the dry slide, no crap, ripped it off. They found it in the water and she was taken by ambulance.

I have to admit I laughed a bit as I clutched my own buttons. I cannot imagine the pain and I will NEVER do a ride like that once my girls are lifted and gifted!

Okay...hijack over...but I knew you would laugh!

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh man, this update totally made my day.

If you remember from my March TR, Fiance and I loved the bats. And yes...we also were shocked at the..um..private parts on display. When the bats are awake, they are actually entertaining.

Aw..the tigers in love has got to be the cutest thing ever! And you were there to see it!

YES! I know exactly what Jon & Kate Plus 8 episode you are talking about. Alexis is personally my favorite.

hahaha YES, vajayjay I know. I would share some others too if I wasn't afraid of this trip report being deleted or something. It figures that this kind of talk would end up on my TR

That STORY. I. Can. Not. Believe. That.



How could that even A - happen once, B - HAPPEN TWICE?!??!?!? I just...wow. Now I am thinking of someone finding it in the water OH MY GOD. Next time I go to a water park I am padding my chest with six inches minimum of gauze or stainless steel or something.

But yes I laughed too. Obviously.

Oh man, this update totally made my day.

Aww! I love hearing that tinkgurlfriend, thank you!

Yes I remember!! I love when people write about the bats in their TRs b/c I feel like usually it's just "then we saw the bats! moving on" but they are too fascinating to me to just glaze over that way!

Alexis is my favorite too. My friend and I quote her all the time, it's kind of ridiculous.

 

[YukiPhnx]

I just gotta say....I LOVE BATS!!! Like so freakin much! When I'm rich, I'm gonna make an artificial bat cave and have fruit bats and flying foxes and vampire bats and I'll be the happiest girl EVER.

Snakes are my favourite animals. Bats are second. OMG, Bats are SOOOO CUUUUUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I missed the Trek on this trip. I went through it on my last trip and have tons of bat pictures. I never even noticed their manhoods hanging out like that! I guess I'm more innocent than I think I am? Hm.......naw.....

It's just SOOO sweet that you saw those tigers kiss! Just adorable. I wish I had stayed in the trek longer so see something like that. Well, gives me more things to do next time!

I remember that Jon & Kate ep too. I love those kids.

I can't find the hidden mickey....where is it?

[RAPstar]

Hey howdy hey. Its kinda weird looking at your pics cause its all like "I was juuuuuuuuuust there!!!" LOL. Anywho, I think with the bats they can get through the window cause their wingspan is too wide. Or something like that. I know I read that somewhere. I love AK. I wish I had made it back a second day like I had planned, but I was so tuckered out. Keep an eye peeled for my TR which I will start soon. Hopefully.

 

[dfitzger03]

nice update! i love AK. i could watch the tiggers all day! i know Ak is more than an zoo but its always amazing to me to see the animals so active. the animals in the zoos from my neck of the woods are just laying there, all miserable and dead looking.

the bird watching area is great too. on my last trip i almost got hit in the face by a bird! i was trying to get a picture of it and it just flew right towards my face. if i didint duck, i would have gotten a face full of bird

Hey Yuki! YAY for loving bats! A lot of people are like "Ew! Gross! Bats!!" and they are missing out!!

It's important to hang out for awhile at Animal Kingdom. I think a lot of people just kind of walk by, see what they see, and move on, but they're constantly moving and doing cool things, you just have to be there to witness it.

The Hidden Mickey is the guy's earring! It's upside down =)

HEY!! Omg. I was wondering where you were the other day, and then I was like, DUH....DISNEY WORLD.

Hmm I wonder if that's true about the bats! I definitely need to ask someone next time I'm there.

I can't wait to read your TR!

I know, that's one of the things I admire so much about Disney... instead of cutting corners and doing whatever they wanted with the animals they built these huge areas so similar to their natural habitat to they are happy. There is this zoo in NJ that is supposed to be so great, we took my little cousins there... ALL the animals were just sitting there like lumps. It was so sad... I wanted to stage a break in LOL. It just awful.

Oh my God they really do fly right at you, they just don't care. I love it though! I was quite scared a bird would poop on my head, though. Wouldn't be the first time LOLOLOL.

Thanks for reading guys!!

 

[MarieTheCat24]

LIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! *tacklehugs* OMG. I feel like it's been so long since I commented on your TR. I was starting to get separation anxiety. I promise I will never disappear for that long again!

OMG. That dragon-thingy is creepy! He has, like, fingers! Gross.

I go back and forth on whether or not I think bats are cute. Sometimes they're adorable, but then sometimes they scare the shoot out of me. I think it's the texture of the wings. Like, their little bat faces and sooo cute, but then they unfold their wings and it's all rubbery and I want to throw up. But I do love the prayer flags hanging all around them.

AH!!! Alexis and her "aldergator". She's my favorite of the Gosselin kids. She always says the cutest things. I could watch that episode where she runs around the reptile exhibit thingy all day.

Kissing tigers? Too sweet. I love when animals show affection for other animals. It's nice to know that love isn't just a human thing, y'know?

I really need to take some time and explore Maharajah. It's gorgeous back in there. I feel lame for skipping it every time.

Ugh. I get so freaked out by those bird enclosures. I know it's stupid because anytime I go outside there can be birds all around me, but they just make me uncomfortable. And yeah, that bird with the blue head totally looks like he's judging me right now and it's creeping me out. *in my best Jerry Springer guest voice* Bird, you don't know me!!

Is it bad that in the last picture the thing that jumped out at me was the AED? It's bringing back crazy memories of CPR training during health class in high school. Our gym teacher was also our heath teacher, so that class was pretty much straight outta Mean Girls. So yeah...learning CPR with him was really interesting.

Anyway, you need to update again soon! I promise I will be here to comment on it more promptly because I'm sure that you missed reading my lengthy ramblings about your updates.

 

[YukiPhnx]

KARA!!! It's great to have you back too! I thought it was really cool that there birds were just RIGHT THERE. I remember following a bird that was walking on the path right in front of me! It was so cool.

I lol'd at the Jerry Springer ref. I could totally hear it in my head!

The Hidden Mickey is the guy's earring! It's upside down =)

I love that there are so many little things that Disney puts into everything they do. We had a great time just LOOKING at everything. I actually noticed those bollywood posters on the wall too! It was on another wall but I don't remember where....

Ohhh, I was THINKING it was the earring, but just wasn't sure at all.

Ok, on the last GLEE, I cried when Kurt was singing. I just love the relationship between him and his dad!

Another relationship I just LOVE is the one between Sue and her big sis. Just warms my heart when I see them together like that, you know? It's so nice to see Sue's softer side.

I really liked the song Rachel sang. It made me so sad!

Hi party people. Well, crap. Things are crazy over on the McLovin front. I really...can't.

As for Disney, color me stressed. I feel like every day something happens to either A.) Make me think there is absolutely NO chance of us going or B.) Make me think we are absolutely going, for sure, NO BIG DEAL.

It's an emotional rollercoaster. To say the least.

Sigh.

Depending on how things unfold i'll probably know if we can go in like 9 or 10 days. If it's a yes, I really won't be able to describe the GARGANTUAN sense of relief and joy that will wash over me. I may die before we even get on the plane.

Yeah. I used the word GARGANTUAN.

You know, if we get to go, exactly one month from now i'll be sleeping in my bed at Disney with my 6 stitch stuffed animals, feet throbbing, belly full of Mickey shaped items, sunburned, overtired, the complete sensory overload i'm experiencing will be creating the most incredible dreams in my silly blonde head...

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. No. I can't even think of it. That would be like dangling a juicy steak (from Le Cellier) in the face of a starving child and then pulling it away just as they are about to dig in.

Which would be EVIL!!!

So I try not to think about it.

Except that I DO. Basically...every second.

Anyway onto my replies!!!!!

LIAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! *tacklehugs* OMG. I feel like it's been so long since I commented on your TR. I was starting to get separation anxiety. I promise I will never disappear for that long again!

OMG. That dragon-thingy is creepy! He has, like, fingers! Gross.

I go back and forth on whether or not I think bats are cute. Sometimes they're adorable, but then sometimes they scare the shoot out of me. I think it's the texture of the wings. Like, their little bat faces and sooo cute, but then they unfold their wings and it's all rubbery and I want to throw up. But I do love the prayer flags hanging all around them.

AH!!! Alexis and her "aldergator". She's my favorite of the Gosselin kids. She always says the cutest things. I could watch that episode where she runs around the reptile exhibit thingy all day.

Kissing tigers? Too sweet. I love when animals show affection for other animals. It's nice to know that love isn't just a human thing, y'know?

I really need to take some time and explore Maharajah. It's gorgeous back in there. I feel lame for skipping it every time.

Ugh. I get so freaked out by those bird enclosures. I know it's stupid because anytime I go outside there can be birds all around me, but they just make me uncomfortable. And yeah, that bird with the blue head totally looks like he's judging me right now and it's creeping me out. *in my best Jerry Springer guest voice* Bird, you don't know me!!

Is it bad that in the last picture the thing that jumped out at me was the AED? It's bringing back crazy memories of CPR training during health class in high school. Our gym teacher was also our heath teacher, so that class was pretty much straight outta Mean Girls. So yeah...learning CPR with him was really interesting.

Anyway, you need to update again soon! I promise I will be here to comment on it more promptly because I'm sure that you missed reading my lengthy ramblings about your updates.

HI OMG!!! SORRY I AM JUST RESPONDING NOW BUT EVERYTHING IS A MESS AS USUAL. PERHAPS I WILL ONE DAY GET MY ACT TOGETHER.

Not today though. Clearly.

I was worried that you had died. Frankly. Because you are usually like one of the first people to comment on my TR when I update and you were no where to be found!! I even ventured to the dark empty place that had become your TR...I recall lighting a match in there and looking around...and nothing...omg. BUT YOU'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

BACK.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bats ARE cute. Ok? You'll see this when you come visit my manor and one is sitting on my shoulder. Don't upset me though b/c with a snap of my finger it will attack.

Alexis is my favorite too. Obviously. My friend and I are kind of obsessed with her. It's weird, I know, but we quote her and everything. Like pretty much constantly.

Ok you really need to stop skipping Maharajah. Like bigtime. And I really need to stop skipping Rafiki's Planet Watch!!! I've NEVER been over there. I kind of like that though b/c I feel like I've scoured every inch of MK, MGM, and Epcot's FW and almost all of WS so I like that there's a place at the parks that will be totally new to me.

My friend is terrified of birds. Like we'll be walking in NYC and you know, pigeons are everywhere around here and like one will land on the ground near our feet and she loses it. She would not do well at Maharajah. I just LOVE them though. I'm not really afraid of any animal...I mean I wouldn't want to be stranded in the jungle with them, obviously, but at AK I feel safe. I do not do well around spiders though. They are my one weakness!!

I enjoy that you had a Mean Girls style teacher. YOU WILL GET PREGNANT AND DIE.

I love that there are so many little things that Disney puts into everything they do. We had a great time just LOOKING at everything. I actually noticed those bollywood posters on the wall too! It was on another wall but I don't remember where....

Ohhh, I was THINKING it was the earring, but just wasn't sure at all.

I was actually talking about the animals, like if you just stand and wait awhile they will do something cool.. but reading what I said back I didn't really make that clear LOL b/c YES at Disney if you don't stop and look around at all the details you are totally cheating yourself. (=

Those Hidden Mickeys are elusive, aren't they? There are so many that I have tried, STRAINED, to see and I just cannot. Like the Minnie silhouette in the mural in the loading dock of the Great Movie Ride. SHE ELUDES ME EVERY TIME!

Ok, on the last GLEE, I cried when Kurt was singing. I just love the relationship between him and his dad!

Another relationship I just LOVE is the one between Sue and her big sis. Just warms my heart when I see them together like that, you know? It's so nice to see Sue's softer side.

I really liked the song Rachel sang. It made me so sad!

I agree with everything you said, Yuki!! But I still think compared to the first 13 episodes Glee is no where near where it used to be.

Sue is my favorite thing about the show and I LOVE seeing her with her sister. I think that is amazing writing and it's so sweet when you see the Cheerio girl who is disabled as well.

Rachel's performance was flawless as usual and I think one of the strongest aspects of the show is the Kurt and his dad story arc. Mike O'Malley deserved the guest star Emmy, not Neil Patrick Harris. That was ridiculous.

Ok, onto my update~~!!
