You sure had a nice view while eating your food at Flame Tree!!
Good choice doing the safari before calling it a day!
Love the sunset photos!
So nice that you could watch HEA while eating some treats in the lounge- your own little dessert party!
It's so pretty back there! There were only a couple of other people that far down by the water and it was nice and peaceful. I'm sure it was uncrowded b/c it was an off peak time for eating, but hey, I'll take it!
I cannot resist a safari!! It's one of the rare rides that if I *had* to, I'd actually wait longer than 30 minutes for. And 30 is my max. Not many rides have that distinction, lol!
It was like our own dessert party! I seriously had at least three of those little cherry pies, they were so good!
Mac and cheese with pulled pork! That's a game changer for me. The fries sound delicious too!
In Sept we did ITTBAB... DH's aunt jumped out of her seat at the end
It was so good!! the crunchy onion ring on top of all the soft stuff was the key, I think!
LOL!!
Maybe it's the same big guy we saw one evening at the Poly. I've got a picture of him somewhere, too.
No way! Awesome pixie dust!
It's like you stole this thought right from out of my head.
WHAT? How is this wall a thing I didn't know about! New Insta trend!!
I think this one is my fave. lol
AMAZING! I love this!
Think ten times!! Are you done thinking?? THINK AGAIN!
Amen to that.
I think this is a really true statement. You really have to experience it.
No way! I was worried when you said you had this FP. Good for her for sticking it out!! My mom has issues with motion simulators, and she didn't have any problem with FoP. There's something about it.
Doesn't seem promising...
Oh. My. Gosh! You got soaked!!
I can't get over how wet you both were in these photos...
Bahaha yes!
That view though...
No way!! The rhinos are almost never up and moving...
Ew. Lame. But glad it was good otherwise.
The Poly Snail. We should make this a trending thing, too
I was so excited about the passes! I thought Everest would be a no-go for me on this trip unless I found a short single rider line, so it made my day. Even more when mom rode!
I made Matt pose for an Awkwardly Shaped Monkey Wall selfie on our AK day, LOL!!!
I love the picture with Donald, the balloon one makes me laugh. My mom was very committed, haha
NEVER STOP THINKING ABOUT POACHING. or NOT poaching...um, just don't poach. (I feel like i need this poster in my house, i love it!)
Oh my gosh, our uber driver from Movies to Kidani was Brazilian, and the way he said giraffe. I die. Matt and I can't even say the word right anymore, they are now and forever jee-ruffs.
Pandora was slightly less magical this time...I think b/c it was like, 30something degrees, LOL! Still beautiful though, and one day I will see it during a blue sky and not a cloudy one!!
Mom said she thought the motion sickness didn't hit her b/c the seat moved with the movement on the screen, and nothing was static. She still talks about this ride and tags me on Facebook if it's mentioned anywhere, lol
I was so displeased with how wet we were! It was almost like a practical joke, b/c I was so adamant about not wanting to get wet when it was kind of cool out!
I wanted to touch that rhino so badly!! I'm still holding out hope that one day a giraffe will walk over and like bend down and let me hug it. I mean, if the GIRAFFE is the one who walks over, and it isn't ME running wildly across the savanna, surely there is less of a chance they will escort me off property. Right??
Glad you enjoyed your NY trip even if it was cold.
Looks like you and your mom had a great day.
I thought the same watching it from the Grand Floridian.
We did! It was nice to get away and actually relax for a change while at WDW...well, not so much in some of the crowds for NYE, but overall, lol
I think it was one of our best days at the parks!
I'm glad I"m not the only one who feels that way. I was impressed by it, and while I'll always miss Wishes, I do love HEA
But now I want to see it.
What if you saw Kevin Bacon drinking water atop an elephant drinking water?
Sure you can!
Boo!
I might send it to you...I don't know, it is WAY worse than any of the ones from yesterday we were sharing. Way worse.
I don't even know if I could handle that!! What do I freak out over first? Kevin? The elephant?? (probably Kevin, b/c HOW did he get to ride the elephant in the first place when they'd surely kick me out for hugging a giraffe! )
I just wanted to touch his nose. Surely it was a nice rhino and wouldn't charge the truck or anything, lol
I pretty much hated everyone in the lounge that night
Worst ride EVER! My first trip to Disney, I was pregnant with my daughter so I couldn't ride it. I was so upset because it looked like so much fun. Fast Forward to a year ago when I finally got to ride it with my son, hated that ride. Could it be any rougher? It hurts. I make dh ride it with my son while I do triceratops spin with my daughter.
I think you made the right choice. We did the pulled pork fries this last trip and they were just okay. I think the mac n cheese would have been better. We'll try that next time.
It is a painful ride! The boys like it, so they can just go on it on their own now. Goofy's Sky School at California Adventure is similar but not so rough and jarring. They rode that one like three times in a row!
That's good to know about the fries! The mac and cheese was good, just heavier than I wanted...but I ate it all anyway b/c it tasted good, lol
Sorry, this isn't trip report related but I know that you like WL a lot and just stayed at AKL recently. I'm looking at booking a 2 or 3 night stay at a Disney resort before we go on a
Disney Cruise and I think I narrowed it down to those 2 resorts. We aren't doing any parks (at least that's what we're telling ourselves) so I'm looking for a resort that has a lot of activities for the kids and has a nice pool. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.
I do really love Wilderness Lodge, it's my absolute favorite. But AKL is definitely in second place now after two stays there. If you aren't doing parks, I would recommend AKL! The food options are amazing, you can see the animals at various points around property, the pool is beautiful, and they do these cool activities for kids where they can earn beads for participating. There is a board up at Kidani (and there might be one at Jambo, I just never saw it) with their daily schedules.

You can see the beads available on some of the cards in those pictures. I wanted to do the bead activities myself, haha!!
The shuttle between Kidani and Jambo House runs every 5 to 10 minutes right out in front of each building and it makes it super simple to go back and forth.
I think it's the perfect place for a non-park trip!
