Okay I am here now !!!

 

[englishrose47]

Great update now I have to go back and catch up

 

[vamassey1]

Once again I love the pictures of the details you always get.

And that drinks looks so refreshing, something else to put on my list.

I really like EE but after my experience in Feb I might have to skip out on it in the future. Don't feel bad you missed it.

Lunch looks fabulous, but wait no desert? We loved the deserts there. I'm still dreaming of the mango pie.

Kali is the best way to end your time there. A change of clothes are usually called for after that ride.

For some reason I envisioned you getting a Yak Attack. But the frozen chai is good too. Eating fried green beans counts as a serving of your veggies for the day, right?

 

[999ghostslover]

I think you were a fine sherpa. The holding of stuff is the cheif resposibility. I am secetly hoping that we cannot get an early ADR for Tusker House so that I can fit Yak and Yeti in to our plans. Yummo!

 

[KathyRN137]

Well, that's really cool! Is this something new? I've never noticed it before!

Wonderful to get that birthday pixiedust!

Expedition Doom!! I was wondering if you would be joining them....I suppose someone has to have sherpa duties!! Although there is room for everything on the tea trains
Lunch looks good....have never eaten there but I am sure it was pleasant to get into some ac and take a rest....but elwwwwww on the lady brushing her hair!!! That is just gross!!
VERY interested in your Taste of Africa!

Oh, I'm so in love with the frozen chai! It's my favorite drink ever!! I cannot believe I have to wait a year to get another one . Love the fish made out of leaves. Cool find.

 

[englishrose47]

Well I am up to chapter 9 !!!

My DGD lost her cell phone on the bus back to POP!!Of course she was a wreak and tearful etc !!But shortly after Judy received a call from someone who had found it !1They scrolled thru the numbers and found MOM!!!!!We met them in the lobby later that night and the phone was restored to Steph !!

 

[MeMom]

I had the shrimp lo mein.



Charles had the beef and broccoli.



Chelsea had the maple tamarind chicken.


Connor ordered the sweet and sour chicken. I am not sure how I missed taking a picture of it.

I don't know which one sounds/looks best!
I have only eaten at the counter service; not in Yak & Yeti.

Since I have only been through the FP line of Everest, I want to go through the full queue sometime just for pictures.

I hope you enjoy your Taste of Africa as much as we did!

I had one chance to be a part of that on the 9th, and I just didn't have it in me. I stayed back with Bella. Wonder if they'll have it again next year? We're thinking of not going until late July, though, so it might still not work out.

Sherpa code of honor. I love that!

Manners are an amazing thing. I was at an industry luncheon this week and while the speaker was still speaking, but after lunch had been served, the woman next to me whips out a compact and touches up her face powder and lipstick.

Hey lady, I'd like fresh gloss too but I'm not going to do it here!

Anyhooo.

Very smart negotiating on your part and a snow kitty, how cute is that!

Happy belated Birthday to Conor!!!!!!!

 

[DizFan101]

I enjoyed reading your Trip Report and was glad to read that Chelsea had gotten her camera back. Unfortunately I know that there is not a lot of kind people in this world who would return a camera to their owners (or in this case, lost and found).

For your next trip, you should really ride Everest. It LOOKS bad, but really isn't. If you can do Big Thounder Mountain Railroad @ Magic Kingdom you can definiately do Everest. It only LOOKS bad (LOOKS is the key word). I was scared the first time I went on it, but after I did It wasn't that bad.

 

[JenAusty]

I'm here finally.. better late then never I suppose! pff.. this will take be a while to catch up. But I'm glad I finally joined- idk how I missed you starting this.. but I've been so busy the last month. Anywho.. I'm EXCITED. there is soo much for me to read already!!

 

[reelmom]

I have never ridden EE either. I always chicken out at the last minute.

 

[DisMomAmy]

I can't believe you didn't ride EE! But I guess a sherpa has to do what a sherpa has to do!

Love Connor's fish!

 

[MeMom]

Happy Birthday, Connor!

Have a great day!

 

[TarzansKat]

Said it on Facebook but I'll say it here, happy birthday Connor!!!!

Love the last update, that slushy chai is soooo good, huh? I would have totally been offering to hold everything as well. Roller coaster chick I am not.

Lunch looks incredible, those portions are huge! This is one restaurant I still have yet to try and it looks really good. I can't get over the plant animal, that is so cool.

 

[BippityBoo]

Happy BDAY Connor!!! Seems like they had a blast at the party! What a good Mom you are

GREAT update! I got a little nervous about Everest this year too. Your lunch looked awesome! Can't wait to try Y&Y!

 

[btallennc3]

Happy Bday Conner!!!!!! : yoda:

I love the Kali River Rapids but we kind of cheat when we go on >
I bring those cheap poncho's that you get at the dollar store. Put on one before we go on the ride then put ion back in a zip lock bag and save it in case we want to go again. More then one person on the ride has said man I wish I had thought of that. They would make a killing if they sold them before the ride on a little cart

 

[Poolrat]

Oh the sly Sherpa you. The supreme sacrifice of holding all the gear while others ride. You don't fool me.
Judging by the way you had your head down during Dinosaur skipping it may have been for the best.

NEXT time you need to get a little closer. You know you can go through the queue and use the "chicken exit" by the single rider entrance to get out. This way you have the journey but without the altitude sickness.
