Top Secret Pixie Dust! A Surprise 13th Birthday PTR! NEW! TRIP REPORT LINK PAGE 220!

[Lovemy3babes]

Your AK day looks great Jackie! I really want to try Yak & Yeti next trip so I'm really eager to hear what you think about it. Do you all wear ponchos on Kali or keep it near the end of the day? But I suppose going in July, it feels good any time of the day!

 

[floridascgirl]

Somehow I missed the info. on Taste of Africa...I'm going to go read up on it right now. My mom and I are planning on doing Epcot on Sunday and Animal Kingdom on Monday. Will you be at either of those parks on those days? If so, I will keep my eyes open for you. I definitely think that I know what everyone looks like.

Hi Jackie!
Just getting caught up again!
You are getting so close and your days look great!
We had lunch at Yak & Yeti and I had a Yak Attack and it was yum!
The only trouble, I had to let my head clear before I re-rode EE!

Ok, time to go and get something going on my TR.....

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Almost time to go!!!

Don't forget to pretend you are bats in AK. That was you guys, wasn't it? Hope so.

 

[Roxychica7]

LOVE these one week from today posts! So excited you all of you!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I made DHS my last stop today. No Bo!

I did ask around and met up with 2 CM's Karen and Walt- yeah really Walt.

However after a pretty long conversation with Karen, she was going to inquire as to his whereabouts.

Karen was very ineterested when I told her a certain 13 year old girl was very attached to Bo and would be arriving on the 18th and staying about a week.

Not sure what to make of it but she wrote the note down so ...

Now wouldn't THAT be incredible if some pixie dust is in the works with Bo?! If Bo is missing CP, you gotta go find Karen!

Love that the CMs name was Walt!

 

[cdotla]

Wow...this is getting fast and furious now! Your posts are making me excited, and I am not even joining you!

Not long now!!!

 

[disney<333]

Yippie! Only 5 days?!?! Won't be long now.
Love the reveal. Chelsea is beautiful, Jackie! I'm glad to hear she had a good time with her grandfather.
I sure would of loved to give the girls Benedryl when they were jumping on the walls.
Yay, for Teppan Edo! I'm sure the king of Teppan Edo is looking forward to this one and now you know he won't want to stay in the room on your first day.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

We had the best meal at Teppan Edo in June! The food was great! It was next to impossible to get a refill on my diet coke, but beside that it was awesome!

So WigD, were you afraid you would "Yak" ?

SOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY. I am trying to keep myself entertained this morning

Lunch at Y & Y was fun! We ate there this trip too! great view of the people below! BUT I liked Lost on Safari better as my AK beverage!

[Charleston Princess]

I have to wonder if there would be quite as much excitement at your house right now if you were

just

going

to

the

beach?

Maybe...not. LOL!

I wasn't able to make it over to the Taste of Africa Festival, but Jill, John, and Brooklynn went over and hung out with Wigd, Shocker, and Poolrat. They said it was cool. I would love to have seen it, but I just didn't have much more walking left in me that day, and Bella needed to stay asleep, so I just stayed back with her. I look forward to seeing everyone's pictures.

I was reading a blog on Allears last night, and it does look really fun! I want to watch the demo about sugar cane.

5 days!

Wow time is really flying by!

I'm getting more and more jealous about you getting to see the Main Street parade.

I can't wait to see the parade. I am a little nervous because they are calling for rain the day we are supposed to see it, but Charles said if it did get rained out, we would reassess our park plans. If I have to stay longer to see it, so be it.

FIVE DAYS WOOT WOOT!!!!!

Hmmmm... the Taste of Africa sounds like so much fun! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!!!!

I love the Animal Kingdom, especially all the themes and details! Don't get eaten by the Yeti!!!

I am really looking forward to the Taste of Africa -- it sounds like a lot of fun!

We'll try not to get eaten by the Yeti -- if I hide my eyes like I am likely to do, maybe he won't see me. LOL!

LOVE day THREE! Looks like a great adventure! We had a nice break at Yak and Yeti! Kids liked the fried rice.... we split a Kobe burger and I had that Yak Attack! I prefer the Lost on Safari!!! We enjoyed the atmosphere there!

I am so looking forward to hearing all about the Taste of Africa! What a fun addition! Are you going to see the parade?

I have my eye on the shrimp lo mein and an Avalanche.

I saw over on Allears that there is a sugar cane mojito at the Dawa bar during Taste of Africa!!! I wonder how sweet it is -- I may have to try it to satisfy my curiosity! LOL!

Not sure if we will make it back in time for the parade -- I know we will need a break from the AK heat and our lunch ressie at Yak and Yeti is for 12:00.

Your plans for AK sound great. Hurray for just 5 more days

I am starting to get that "Will I be able to get everything together in time?" panicky feeling.

This sounds more like an illness than a drink!

Ah! I forgot about the Taste of Africa! I look forward to hearing all about that!!

Great picture of the kids on Primeval Hurl.

Have you guys done Y & Y before? Very yummyyyyyy!

They seem to have several different food samples available that I am hoping we will try.

We did Yak and Yeti a few years ago -- we enjoyed it, but Charles' stomach was really upset afterwards -- hopefully we won't have a repeat of that.

Five days and Taste of Africa!

Definitely looking forward to experiencing the Taste of Africa!

What else can you do when your flight is delayed? Dis of course. I am on my way home sort of.... weather has slowed my progress.

I made DHS my last stop today. No Bo!

I did ask around and met up with 2 CM's Karen and Walt- yeah really Walt.

Karen did not even know he was missing!!!

However after a pretty long conversation with Karen, she was going to inquire as to his whereabouts.

All concerned seemed to think he was going to get glammed. ( Is that a word?)

Karen was very ineterested when I told her a certain 13 year old girl was very attached to Bo and would be arriving on the 18th and staying about a week.

Not sure what to make of it but she wrote the note down so ...

Make a point to stop and ask around if he is still not there. Heck even if he is there stop in guest services and ask for Karen. She took notes so maybe some pixie dust?

As soon as I am home - earlier if I am stuck in Orlando any longer, I will get pictures of the no Bo sighting.

Warning - lots and lots of tour groups. Today DHS was a madhouse because so many were there. If you have the ability to hop do if you see lots of them. Some days not too bad but today was a bit much. Probably because I only had half a day

Oh no about Bo!!! I will definitely try and ferret out Karen and ask her about it. Thanks so much for asking! I am very curious as to why she wrote down that info. Hmmm...I am sure Chelsea wouldn't mind some pixie dust on her birthday trip. LOL!

Glammed is a word at our house!

I have money set aside to add park hoppers if we need them. It's been in the back of my mind, that the crowds might make them a necessity.

yippy! The countdown is officially on now! I can't believe it soo close.. you will have such a good time, with great weather!

I want to get a "taste of Africa" yummy!

I love AK.. I can't wait to hear about your day!

I do hope the weather cooperates, and we don't all wilt!

 

[Charleston Princess]

sorry I got bit behind....wow it is so close now...can you believe it...after all the spy stuff then on and off and back on...YAY CP you are going to be there next week

love all of yours days...

can't believe the "Dis-never's eaten at LC Club is losing members....

plus say "hi" to the Yeti for me if you see him, as we may not have encounter in Nov...since I'd be the only one willing to brave the trek

J~

Hi, Julie!! Yes, sadly, I will have to give up my membership in the LC Club. LOL!

Not sure if Connor and I will end up braving the yeti -- we tend to chicken out at the last minute although Connor has promised his sister he will ride everything she wants on this trip. He may just be talking big though. LOL!

I'm loving these daily recaps of your plans! Now I can follow along each day and ask myself, "What is the CP clan doing right now?"

Thanks! I am so looking forward to putting all these plans into practice!

Oh my, I can't DIS for a few days and I'm pages and pages behind here! So much to comment on......

Yay for being able to get a Teppan Edo ADR for Charles, that is pretty impressive this close to your trip!

Don & Justin LOVED the Sum of All Thrills in December, I can't wait to hear what you guys think of it.

Starting day 2 with Soarin & ending with Le Cellier - And day 3's EE followed by a Lost on Safari is nearly as good!

I think Don would really enjoy Taste of Africa, too bad he's such a Disney Grump and won't get a chance to experience it

I can't believe you leave in just 5 days, almost 4 now!

Hi, Michelle! I was very surprised there were any Teppan Edo ressies available this close! I wonder if there are just not as many people willing to pay for TS meals these days.

Maybe there is hope for Don. As you know, Charles is not the biggest fan of Disney by any stretch of the imagination. He cracked me up the other night saying he could write my updates if I wanted him, too. I asked him, "Really? What will we be doing on our AK day?" His response was, "Um, we are going to eat at a restaurant and ride that rapids ride." LOL!

5 days!!!!
EE, Yak & Yeti, and a Lost on Safari...sounds like a perfect AK day

Have you started packing?

I have started packing here and there -- unfortunately, I am at the point where it needs to be clothes which means I have to wait until later in the week when I can do laundry, but still have some clothes left to wear until we leave. LOL!

I'm really excited to try out that party in AK after the parade! And also excited to have a delicioussss Lost on Safari! We're getting so close!!!

Did you see the blog on Allears about Taste of Africa? They have a sugar cane mojito for it! I may have to try that instead of the Lost on Safari!

Your AK day looks great Jackie! I really want to try Yak & Yeti next trip so I'm really eager to hear what you think about it. Do you all wear ponchos on Kali or keep it near the end of the day? But I suppose going in July, it feels good any time of the day!

Nah, we never wear ponchos and end up soaked.

Somehow I missed the info. on Taste of Africa...I'm going to go read up on it right now. My mom and I are planning on doing Epcot on Sunday and Animal Kingdom on Monday. Will you be at either of those parks on those days? If so, I will keep my eyes open for you. I definitely think that I know what everyone looks like.

We will be in Epcot on Sunday -- dinner at Le Cellier.

Hi Jackie!
Just getting caught up again!
You are getting so close and your days look great!
We had lunch at Yak & Yeti and I had a Yak Attack and it was yum!
The only trouble, I had to let my head clear before I re-rode EE!

Ok, time to go and get something going on my TR.....

Note to self: ride EE before drinking.

Almost time to go!!!

Don't forget to pretend you are bats in AK. That was you guys, wasn't it? Hope so.

Yes, we are the people who pretend we are bats at Animal Kingdom. LOL!

LOVE these one week from today posts! So excited you all of you!!

Thanks! We are just counting down days here at our house!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Now wouldn't THAT be incredible if some pixie dust is in the works with Bo?! If Bo is missing CP, you gotta go find Karen!

Love that the CMs name was Walt!

Oh, yes, I will be dropping in to see if Karen is working.

Wow...this is getting fast and furious now! Your posts are making me excited, and I am not even joining you!

Not long now!!!

It is -- I thought I was on top of the updates, but now I feel like even I am falling a bit behind.

Yippie! Only 5 days?!?! Won't be long now.
Love the reveal. Chelsea is beautiful, Jackie! I'm glad to hear she had a good time with her grandfather.
I sure would of loved to give the girls Benedryl when they were jumping on the walls.
Yay, for Teppan Edo! I'm sure the king of Teppan Edo is looking forward to this one and now you know he won't want to stay in the room on your first day.

Thank you! Yes, maybe we will be able to lure Charles away from his post-drive down nap. LOL!

We had the best meal at Teppan Edo in June! The food was great! It was next to impossible to get a refill on my diet coke, but beside that it was awesome!

Yes, I seem to remember always waiting forever on drink refills, too. Connor never has a problem, though -- remember last year when he drank like three glasses of lemonade in a row and then writhed around on his seat the rest of the meal?

So WigD, were you afraid you would "Yak" ?

SOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY. I am trying to keep myself entertained this morning

Lunch at Y & Y was fun! We ate there this trip too! great view of the people below! BUT I liked Lost on Safari better as my AK beverage!

I may need to do the Sugar Cane Mojito and a Lost on Safari. Goodness, hope Charles can steer me out of the park.

Four Days!!!!

​

Thank you!

4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems a bit surreal to me!

Lost on safari is on my list for September!!!!!!!
