So true! The same thing happened to us with a FP once. Not being able to control what the animals choose to do and where is simultaneously the coolest and most frustrating part of this attraction.
What a neat little conversation to be able to eavesdrop for! I also wonder what people must think when they overhear Dismeets in the parks. And Voices of Liberty...I hadn't thought of that...but I may have to add it to my list of dream Disney jobs!
The animals not cooperating probably made for an awesome safari experience for those folks stuck in the cars! Not so much for us poor guests left waiting in the line.
Oh. My. Gosh!
I've been waiting for this moment. I love your kid!
Landon strikes again! This is hilarious!
For the record, if I overheard a kid saying those things on a ride, I wouldn't be thinking about their mother's parenting at all. I'd just be thinking about how hilarious and adorable that child was.
Haha, Landon is unique. Sometimes I wonder how I found stuff to write about before he came along, because he sure does provide a lot of entertainment!
Hear ye, hear ye! I'm in this camp as well. Wild Africa Trek was one of the highlights of our honeymoon. We always schedule our trips with MK as first priority, and then AK as second. I have a hard time deciding, but I think AK is my favourite park, though if I only had time to visit one park it would always be MK.
Yes! If I only had one day, then of course I'd pick the MK but AK is just as great.
I feel like if we're ever at Disney at the same time, then we need to have a DISmeet in Animal Kingdom and go on the safari together, since we understand each other's love of giraffes.
Stuff like this comes out of his mouth all the time in public and I just have to pretend I'm not horribly embarrassed by his remarks.
Soooo Funny!
Awesome Selfie!
Good Move for sure!!!! I hate when people start to get pushy.
After Landon put the whole safari car in stitches, my mom and I were walking to the stroller parking area and she goes, "That's going to be your trip report title, isn't it?"
Thanks! Neither my mother nor I really like the selfie pose, but when you're relaxing at Disney you make exceptions!
I'm glad to hear that Evie enjoyed the safari! That's such a great ride, and it's always great to see so many animals ... I'm sure she really was thrilled!
Landon, on the other hand ... maybe next time try telling him it's a quiet ride and you're not allowed to talk? (Kidding ... sometimes kids will be kids and you just can't help it ... at least he didn't say anything too terrible)
Secret confession: I could take or leave EE. I think I do have to try it at night and see if I like it better in the dark.
Good call taking the Poly bus - that's where having Disney knowledge really comes in handy! (We've done that with Pop and AoA a few times, but I feel like everyone knows that secret. Shades/Poly is probably less well-known but really smart!)
I was really happy to have found something that Evie enjoyed. She seemed to like Animal Kingdom as a whole, which shouldn't have surprised me. Anything animal-related she enjoys. I told Alex on our upcoming trip if he really wants to check out Panora, I could handle Evie for a few hours in the park. She'd be perfectly fine spending an afternoon checking out the animal treks or riding the train out to Discovery Island. (I think that's its name; I've never gone there before!)
I would definitely recommend trying EE at least once in the dark, just to see the difference between the two times.
