You're Here BY YOURSELF? A Solo TR COMPLETED!

[creativeamanda]

Breakfast Sunday morning found me at Animal Kingdom Lodge for Boma. I won't say much about it, other than it is in my opinion, the best breakfast on Disney property. I did get a chance to take some pictures at AKL first.

The main entrance:

The Christmas tree in the lobby. I was skeptical of how this would look, but I can assure you that it was by far one of the most beautiful trees on property.

A smaller tree near Boma

I took a picture of the flamingos outside of AKL before breakfast. It was cool, but the animals were out in full force.

After breakfast, I went to Animal Kingdom, where I headed straight for. . .

It was wonderful! I rode it twice before I decided to go over to Dinosaur (single rider line, guys--the way to go!)

By the time I got over to Dinosaur, the ride was down for some time. I grabbed a fast pass, and then walked back over to Asia to see some of the animals. Out first were the (HIDE YOUR EYES, LEGOMOM) monkeys:

I then took the

Where I saw this beauty:

There were also these. . .and okay, no Lions--but that tiger!

Coming up--39 degrees. . .do I ride Kali River Rapids?

Where are the flamingos? There are my all time favorite animal and I would love to see them. We went to AKL last trip to check out the resort but I must have missed these beautiful creatures.

I just sat and devoured this tr! LOVE IT!!! The photos you took were A.MAZ.ing! WOW!! I can't wait to read more

 

[Mollyremy]

Really enjoying your posts! I think I would like to go solo sometime. For now though it's the DH DS & me!

 

[Mollyremy]

Your pictures are awesome too!!! Makes me so homesick for MK!!!

ACTUALLY....and this is the AK/Kids Discovery Club/CM in me knowledge of the day..haha..

They are actually apes called Siamangs. They aren't monkeys bc they don't have tails I got paid daily to correct guests on that! It's mom, dad, and their baby who live there and the baby girl is 2 The "monkeys" which are apes as well on the other side are White Cheeked Gibbons. They don't have tails either. A mom, dad, older brother, and younger brother live there and that mom is currently preggos with another

And that is my lesson of the day lol. Now when you go again in May you can educate your family..and the other guests around you

I somehow missed an update...but am all caught up now!!

Your first illuminations picture reminds me of peacocks!! LOL They are all great shots though!!

We never ended up eating at Boma on our trip. Had it scheduled and we even stayed the last half of our trip at AKL, but never made it. Next time???

"If it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey, even though it has a monkey kind of shape....If it doesn't have tail it's not a monkey -- if it doesn't have a tail it's not a monkey it's an ape!"



Sorry, just a little Silly Songs With Larry there to start my day!!


Ok, on to the TR -- LOVE it! Pics are fantastic. EE has a single-rider line?!!? I'm so there. I also want to go to AK on it's morning EMH day and do the Kilamanjaro Safari first thing. Hopefully I'll see lots of creatures out and about!

And isn't AKL just beautiful??! Wow....

Great update Amanda! I love the pictures you got of the AKL. We will have to try Boma next time! We really enjoy breakfast buffets. I just finished up your dining report! It was great! Haven't had a chance to comment on it yet.

I rode Everest for the first time this trip and loved it!! We didn't make it on the trails this time, but I just love the tigers on that one! So sad we missed it! This is Sunday for you right? Can't wait for more!

I haven't been on the DIS much lately, and I see that I missed a few installments.

First of all, the castle at Christmas is unbelievably gorgeous. I would LOVE to see that in person!

Second, you do take some very lovely photos. I loved the Wishes shots, and can admire any camera that can take decent fireworks pictures.

Third, I would have been FURIOUS at the French restaurant. I mean, yes, it was simple human error, but if he was confused during check-in, he should have made sure he had your information correct. And at least try to remedy it immediately by seating you right away.

All I'm going to say is YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

We love Boma!

When I went out of the door going towards the fitness center at AKL, they were on the left. My dd11 loves them, too!

I just sat and devoured this tr! LOVE IT!!! The photos you took were A.MAZ.ing! WOW!! I can't wait to read more

Thanks! I really enjoyed taking these pictures!

Going solo is great! I really enjoyed it, and will have to do it again!

Thanks! I miss Disney, too!

Yay! They aren't monkeys! That should help Legomom.

And I can't wait to be a teacher!

You should try Boma--it is a great breakfast!

Yes--EE has a single rider line and it's set up better than Rock n Roller Coaster! When the single rider line gets longer, they close it for a while!

It's right between the fastpass line and the litte shop as you get off of the ride.

I did not do the safari this time, but we will in May!

THis is Sunday! I had a ball here this day, but I was back and forth all through the park, lol.

Thanks for the compliments on my pictures. I had one friend comment that a couple were overdeveloped--I don't think he realized I was actually going for that with some of the fireworks pictures.

All I'm going to say is YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

We love Boma!

Boma is excellent!

 

[kangaand2roos]

Subbing! I've done two solo trips and loved them both. I did miss the kiddie but absence makes the heart grow fonder! It was great to be at WDW by myself, and great to get back to my babies!

 

[disneyshakeygirl]

I am so glad that somebody loves EE as much as I do, nobody will ever go on it with me because they're too frightened!

The Christmas trees look gorgeous!

 

[TarzansKat]

I sat at the tank in the Coral Reef once, and absolutely loved it. Mesmerizing. It did however, feel hypocritical, because I totally had fish for lunch.

I'm sorry about France. What a bummer. On the upside, you got some incredible Illuminations photos!

Beautiful pictures of the tigers! I think one of my favorite things about your trip report is all the wonderful photos.

 

[praisehisname]

All caught up again! Looking forward to seeing if you rode Kali in the cold.

I'm jealous of the snow though. I'm WAY further north, and have NOTHING.

You could read through mine from last month. 10 nights, 3 resorts, 7 crazy family members, lots of pics and fairly nice weather...
