First of all, we already have a 4. Second of all, evil twins have no business here!

CINCO! 5

...Do I hear a 6?

 

[Hedy]

Definitely go to Le Cellier! I hope you made your ADR. It is great! Aw, you were a preemie too? How much did you weigh and at what week were you born?

I made my ADR-I think I got the last one. We're not sure how many weeks I was, but I was 1.75 lbs and 13 inches. We have pictures of my dad holding me in his hand.

6!

And, I just have to point out that I'm a girl from a town of 350 people in middle-of-not-much IL, and I LOVED NYC. Just sayin'...

 

[Flossbolna]

I'll jump in and provide the 5

You certainly were very tiny. Evan was just 2 lbs 8 ounces.

Monday, June 25...Animal Kingdom
DinoLand to Asia and back to DinoLand


Hopes:
1. More PhotoPass pictures taken...
2. A good DIS meet with Laura...
3. No blisters on my feet...today was my Crocs Athens day again
4. A meeting with the Dream Team

Wants:
1. A good breakfast at Donald’s Breakfastosaurus...
2. Ride Expedition Everest with Laura at park opening...
3. Ride Dinosaur
4. Have a good rest at the resort in the afternoon
5. Return to Animal Kingdom in the evening for EMH

We finished with breakfast about 8:50 am so we had 10 minutes until rope drop. We walked over to the rope area. I was immediately disappointed at where the rope was. I had no idea where it was going to be from Dinoland but I was hoping it would be closer to Asia so we could get right over there and ride Expedition Everest. The plan was for all of us to get over to EE and ride it with Laura. We would then go our own ways from there.

So we are all right at the rope chatting away still. I figured the rope would be dropping soon and it did. We started our trek over to Asia - all the while talking and talking away. We really did not walk very fast. But we should have. When we approached Expedition Everest the line was so long already that my eyes bugged right out of my head. We all looked at each other. Then Laura said they weren’t going to ride because her son really wanted to go on Kilimanjaro. So we said our goodbyes and I went to stand in the line for the FPs.

I got us all FPs and we headed back to Dinoland. The only thing we ever rode there before was Triceratops Spin so we wanted to ride Dinosaur and Primeval Whirl. We saw that Primeval Whirl had no line at all. Now this ride had a 48-inch minimum and Alec did not measure up to 48 inches at home so I warned him that he may not be able to ride this. We walked up to the measuring stick and he just made the 48-inch mark!! Woohooty! I took the boys on Primeval Whirl while Rob stayed with Brookie. He snapped this picture of us going by...

That ride really whips you around. I almost lost one of my Crocs! That would have been a tragedy! We got off the ride and Rob quickly took Evan and Alec back on it while I took Brooke over to Triceratops. I told her to smile for the picture but she said, “No. I don’t wanna.”

As we were flying high on Triceratops Spin I snapped this picture of Primeval Whirl. But I don’t like it. It really reminds me of a dumpy amusement park. I dunno...

Brookie really wanted to go on Triceratops Spin again and, because I knew we were going on Dinosaur and Expedition while she had to sit it out, Rob took all the kids on it. I stood below and snapped a couple of pictures. First picture - not so good...well, maybe a good one of Rob!

Second picture not so much better but it really is hard to get a good picture on this ride. And why are the boys looking the other way? What is so interesting that way?

Then we headed on over to see what the line at Dinosaur looked like. We still had some time before our FP return for Expedition. I really couldn’t wait to go on this ride. Rob too, because we missed it on our last trip that I now dub “washout day”. Would the boys chicken out? Stay tuned...


Next installment...June 25...Animal Kingdom...DinoLand to Asia to Discovery Island back to Asia

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Oh come on you cant leave us hangin like that!!!

 

[Disneyolic]

Oh come on you cant leave us hangin like that!!!

Uhm...hanging like what?

 

[scottny]

I never went on any of the rides that lifted up. I was so afraid my weight would keep it down and it would never get off the ground. Dumbo included.

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh my gosh! You went on Primeval Whirl?! Last year we went on it because it had been awhile and then we realized why we hadn't been on it! B.F. practically squished the life out of me. I wish we coulda been there the same time! That woulda been fun!

 

[Flossbolna]

Thanks for the update!! I am glad that I got counted as some number in the end....

 

[BobNoxious]

Love the trippie. Where, exactly, is the AK rope drop? Also, if you went right from Rope Drop to EE for fastpasses, what was the return time on them?

Thanks!

Love the pics!

 

[DisneyJo]

Nope! You're the final one needed!

......Update coming up!!

Even when you do this whilst I'm awake I still miss the fun

I almost lost one of my Crocs! That would have been a tragedy! [/font]

I'm sorry DM but that made me laugh

 

[jcc0621]

You do realize I leave on Tuesday , right? Is this little adventure going to be complete by then, or am I going to bel eft hanging until I come back

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Try to get tix to "Little Mermaid" when it opens. I would love to see "Mary Poppins" but just have not gotten the tix yet.

I had heard that the Little Mermaid was coming to Broadway. I think that it may be time for me to make a return trip to NYC.

I also really want to see Mary Poppins! If have heard wonderful things about it.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

A new update Blue and I may have been wrong. You may just finish with the Animal Kingdom updates by Christmas

That is too bad that you did not get to ride Expedition Everest with Laura but at least you guys had a wonderful breakfast.

I love Brookie's refusal to smile for the camera
