I love your matching Up shirts! Up is one of my top five favorite Disney movies. Actually, I judge people by how they react to the first fifteen minutes of that movie. If it doesn't get to you, we can't be friends.
My favorite movie before seeing 'UP' was 'The Jungle Book', but ever since I saw 'UP' I absolutely fell in love with it. That movie and its way of connecting with me and my life is unbelievable. It gets me every time and I could watch it everyday. ANNNDDDD...there's a bird named Kevin in it. SQUIRREL!!
It's the buses. They automatically make you cranky.
Oh. my. Goodness. The buses - everything about them on this trip made me cranky: The location of the pickup and drop off; You can sit down on the bench at CBR and people walk up and form a blob where the bus entry point is and because of that you get a sucky seat on the bus (even though you were there first); When there is a crying baby on the bus - right - next - to - you; when you miss the bus and wait another 25 minutes before the next one; when you get up from your seat so an older lady or mother with a small child can sit...well I don't mind that, but when someone else doesn't do it that is younger than me - it burns me up! BUT...the buses get us to the parks so that's a good thing.
Kevin ordered a specialty beer... my father and I ordered some specialty cocktails! The Snow Leopard Salvation was DELICIOUS and I highly recommend it. I will say they were very heavy on the vodka!
So I had the Kungaloosh Spiced Ale and it was tasty! I ranked it a 4.5 (out of 5) on untappd. Nomad Lounge was so nice and it surprised us because we knew about it and it was right there! And, it was the perfect time to get a nice drink and relax. I think the more people know about it, it will begin to get busier and busier, but when Avatarland opens, it will be packed - the views on the porch will be awesome!
Our next stop was the Dug and Russel meet and greet. They were so adorable and it was well worth the 15 minutes that we waited there. WILDERNESS EXPLORERS!
And they have a bark machine that was so cool! You bark into the speaker and Dug responds back to your bark, it was pretty cool. I could have stayed at the meet and greet for a long time. We always had walked by, but this was the trip to meet characters and try to do the things that we never got to do a.k.a. we took the time to smell the roses
Kevin, between your Jungle Book Backpack, Grape Soda Pin, and Up shirt, you might be the coolest person on the DIS!
Thanks so much annie - if only I had worn my Jungle Book shoes that day too!
I like how you got photos of the chefs with Aimee. I guess you've got to keep an eye on Donald around the ladies!
Donald was getting a little close. I think he was doing that to get back at me for hugging Daisy
Hmmm....I'm pretty bad-a** at speed walking too. If our trips ever line up, we need to race!
Definitely. It's on!
I had NO IDEA you could meet Tarzan. How cool!!
We wanted to meet him a little earlier than we did, but poor Tarzan was surrounded by several middle aged women. We didnt want to interupt whatever was going on there, haha!
I have a nine year old son. I know all about dabbing. I am not lucky.
I know for a fact that we have so many dabbing pictures this year. Last year it was something called the Hasselhoff face. It's ok because Aimee and I have a plot. We are going to put all of these ridiculous photos in his senior yearbook, slideshow, etc.
I am absolutely loving the duel trip writing. Great updates from both of you.
Thank you! I know my updates are not comparable to my wife's, but this is getting me used to the disboard
Stay tuned.... hahaaaa
We grabbed some towels and then got some pool chairs BEHIND the pool in the quiet area behind the water slide / fort. We were sort of near the hot tub. HELPFUL TIP: If you are looking for a quiet area at the main pool, I would head to the chairs behind the main slide! 
It was absolutely not pleasant to be sitting on top of each other. PLUS there were about 50 chairs with towels on them to make it look like people were sitting there, but nobody was anywhere to be found. I think that people leave their wet / used towels on the chairs because they are too lazy to put them in the dirty towel bins. 
Apparently the concierge got busy and FORGOT to call our cab, so the concierge at CBR called over to Boma and asked them to extend our dinner reservation time because we were LATE. I was so upset. The short version is that they finally called the cab company, we were picked up, we got to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and we were allowed in even though we were SO LATE to our reservation. I was mortified that we missed our reservation, but so thankful that Boma was so wonderful and understanding with the situation. 
I am really looking forward to being in Animal Kingdom after dark. It should be a whole new experience.
