Guess you'll have to go back!!
Of course! It doesn't take much of an excuse for me to go back.
Ooh, I haven't seen these before either. I do like that it says specifically your whole party needs to be together; however, I wonder if/how they really enforce it if people do get out of line for bathrooms or whatever.
No, they definitely don't enforce it. We had a whole group shove in between my group in October. It was not a pleasant experience but I'll save that for the other TR.
I like your face--it's like, Oh, hello old friend?
I think those guys look like they're just holding on their glasses! LOL Not sure what they were going for otherwise!
You are probably right about those guys. That ride definitely can jar the glasses off of your face!
Yum!! I LOVE those cookies! I'm usually using up snack credits on those to take home with me!
The are definitely yummy! I haven't had snack credits in a while since I've had an AP. I'm probably going to upgrade to an AP again in May so still no snack credits.
Yuck, I imagine you were!! I "get" being bounced around a bit, but it sounds like you were really tossed!!
It was much worse that normal!
Nice little collection there And I LOVE the pic of you and your Mom with the Osborne lights and cracked up at you, Jim and Gaston LOL
I'm so far behind on trip photos for my work shelves. I'm kind of out of room for pictures so I stopped getting new frames.
I give it 6 months, tops.
Well maybe a little longer since it's about 6 months before I go back to Disney again.
Hope so.
I'm thinking I'm going to have to post... something?
"We'll be in _____ park on this day, so if you're there, shoot me a text."
Something like that?
Definitely! I'm sure I'll eventually post my plans and which parks I'll be in each day so hopefully we can coordinate a meet even if it's a quick one.
Ugh. Yeah, that wouldn't be fun.
Heh. Just to mess with you, if we meet, I'll be a real jerk. Well, more of a jerk.
I just don't think you have it in you to be a jerk. But not that I said that, I'm thinking I may have just issued a challenge to you.
I'll eat white... but not much. I get sick of it pretty quickly.
White just tastes weird to me, kind of plastic-like. Not sure if that describes it exactly but I just don't find it appetizing at all.
mmmm.... cushy seats...
I actually really enjoy getting one of those buses to or from the parks even though they aren't Disney at all. Guaranteed (no standing allowed on those), cushy seats? I'll take that over a Disney bus any day.
Wow, that is nuts! I only did FoP once, but I am glad I had a FP for it.
Of course on the other hand, I would gladly wait that long for this ride. One thing I regret about FP is that you miss so much of the queue, and it looks pretty amazing. I think 50 minutes would go by fairly quickly in a queue like that.
This is the only ride that I will wait that long for. My normal limit is 20-30 minutes max. It's definitely worth waiting in the Standby line at least on time. Tons of stuff to look at does make the time go by fast.
Too bad. I've always said "No sleep like a Disney sleep."
I don't know what my problem was this trip. There was a lot of noise at night but I'm usually able to block it out after the first night.
Holy crap!
I may have to revise my plans with my DD for this May.
It wasn't really that bad since it was during EMHs. Without FP people, the line moved constantly. And once you get in the actual line, there is so much to see that the time goes very quickly.
What did you do when people were turning and staring at you?
Ignored them of course.
Huh. Hadn't heard of that. I guess they must have had.... issues.
This was the first time I'd seen those cards but I did know they were coming. I do know my Aunt got very sick on the ride last February. She didn't throw up but said she came awfully close. I also wonder if they've had to stop the ride after someone freaked out.
This is what one does. I've never actually been in the non-FP line.
It's definitely worth at least one time through the regular line to see everything. They did a great job on the queue for this one.
Wow! I've got a long ways to go to catch up with you.
I'm up to 7 times now!
I think they're just adjusting their glasses.
Probably is what they are doing. That ride does throw you around enough to dislodge glasses.
Well... no. It's Cheerios. And there's an entire World of Disney snacks at your disposal, you know.
True! But I try to eat something blander first thing in the morning. For some reason, cheerios or a plain bagel seem to help with my stomach issues. Anything too rich or greasy in the morning just makes me feel sick.
It does?
Hmmm.... not a Cinnamon roll fan?
Nope, don't like Cinnamon rolls at all. The main place for breakfast at AK is Starbucks and the line there is usually way too long for my taste.
Why?
Not questioning your desire, just that's a one and done per trip for me.
I just love to watch animals so more than one trip through the safari is something I like to do. Also, I was hoping to catch the Painted Dogs that morning. I honestly can't remember now if I saw them on this particular trip but they are only out in the morning. In the afternoon, there are Hyenas in that area.
Ah ha! I told you! Six months! Tops!
Nah, I still have two more shelves I can fill so I'm good for a bit.
Ouch. I don't think I would've been overly happy with that.
I was not happy. Maybe 5-10 years ago I might have thought it was fun but now I have too many aches and pains to enjoy a rougher safari.
Giraffe clotheslines itself at Disney Park. News at Eleven.
Clotheslined giraffe pukes up its food. News at Eleven.
I think they missed the best chance to name these guys. They should've called them KoolKats.
Hmmmm, not sure if I've ever seen them acting cool though. They are usually twitchy, nervous little things.
They grow up so fast. Soon she'll be asking for the car keys and demanding her own cell banana.
They do grow up fast! I've been following Lily since she was born in 2011 and I can't believe how big she is now. Even Cory and Flint have grown in leaps and bounds the last two years. Mom and I saw them in 2014 right after they were born. At that time they were still infants and totally dependent on their Moms just like a human infant.
I love to follow the Gorilla families at AK, so fun to see each trip.
I’m glad you found an elephant you liked and good thing it wasn’t with you on the bumpy Safari!
FoP is worth a little longer wait in my opinion
I really like checking out the Gorillas every trip. It's so much fun seeing them grow up over the years. FOP is about the only ride I would wait that long for. We did end up waiting that long for TSM last month but not by choice. The wait time said 30 minutes but was apparently not accurate.
Sounds like a good morning so far!! Love the new elephant addition.
It was a fun morning!
The SWAGS dessert party seems like fun. I wanted to try it again since they switched it from my previous trip, but I won't have any opportunity in May.
It was a lot of fun. Most days I can't decide whether this one or the HEA one is my favorite. I definitely like the desserts better at the Star Wars one but HEA has a slight edge over SWAGS for me so it's a toss up. I did think about doing this one in May but there is just not enough time with all the other fun activities we are doing! I also want to give the Epcot Frozen one a try someday.
Just back from WDW so playing catch up!
Hope you had a wonderful trip! Have you started a TR yet?
Holy cow. People don't mess around with that ride.
Nope, it definitely gets a long line early.
50 minutes! That's more than I'm usually willing to take. I regret not being able to see the queue area, though.
It's way more than I'm willing to do on any other line. FOP is worth it though in my opinion. And the queue is amazing so also worth the wait at least one time.
Maybe the dinosaur is stinky?
That's the best explanation so far!
I could see this making the ride better!
If I was 5-10 years younger than yes, the extra bounciness probably would have been fun. But this one was just a bit more painful than fun.
Hope you had a wonderful time at Disney - I'm excited to read about it
We did have a great time. I have started the new TR but haven't gotten very far yet.
I hadn't even considered that possibility for the one I went to solo. There weren't any assignments when I went in May - it was actually quite a light crowd and maybe that's why. It was pouring rain the entire time so when they brought us out to the designated spot, almost no one even went out. It was miserable! I need a redo Should have joined you
Did they have seating at your party? I know they changed from standing tables to tables with assigned seats sometime over the summer. That was the deciding factor for me going to the party.
What a bummer! This would have been super frustrating for me - after all, it's one of the reasons for going!
It was not a fun meet and greet at all. Granted I've never had great interaction with him in the past but this was a little ridiculous.
