I really like that one!
Not such a big fan of this one though.
I'm confident that the food will be absolutely horrible, but the experience will be well worthwhile!Id scheduled us at DHS on the 4th hoping that do something special for the unofficial holiday so trying to get an ADR was a no brainer. After a family vote we decided wed like to do dinner with Mickey and the gang dressed in their Star Wars finery. I was on hold for an hour the next morning, but I was able to secure the ADR and switch our HBD dinner ressie to lunch. I figure if the food is as horrible at H&V as Ive heard that it is, well have had a nice lunch
Be careful. You wouldn't want to hurt yourself doing a celebratory dance.I wanted to do a little dance the day I paid it off, and cant wait to get there!
I'm glad to hear it didn't disappoint. It is definitely on my list of places to eat. I'm just having a hard time working the logistics out...Tusker House will remain our favorite character breakfast. The food is great, the service pleasant, and the atmosphere cant be beat.
Wow... I don't think I've ever seen that kind of a crowd in AK, anywhere.After 15 minutes hed only just made it to the machines. After he joined us we made our way to Asia for Maddies inaugural ride on EE!
I dont send people to the Island lightly, in fact there are only 3 permanent residents- Bobby Knight (for those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Knight Google Bobby Knight and chair or Bobby Knight hits player), Alex Rodriguez (I assume most North Americans are familiar with his antics), and Alex Trebek. Mr. Trebek may seem like an odd choice, but I find him smug. Tyra Banks comes and goes from the Island. On one hand she annoys me, but on the other I find her show endlessly entertaining. When Im being logical I know she could be much worse. Shes not out there flashing her private parts to the paparazzi or getting DUI, she doesnt even clog ones Twitter feed with political rants. Shes doing her best to parlay her former success as a model into a long-term career. I respect that, and yet she annoys me. I like to think she brings little color and fun to the Island.
I completely understand Bobby Knight and A-Rod... but I was literally laughing out loud when I read Alex Trebek's name.
A-Rod is still an idiot, but Bobby has kind of transformed into a quirky old man who provides comedy gold here lately. And this is coming from a Purdue fan, so I'm a pro when it comes to hating Bobby.
Let's be realistic here... Your track record at this point in the trip is spotty at best.She also refused to believe that her beloved Stacey would give any misinformation, or that her mom might know what she was talking about.
Poor Stacey...She was scared of the Yeti, and I was ready to send Stacey to The Island.
Well, it is a great queue, so I guess if you want to put a positive spin on things...And so we joined a standby line that now read 30 minutes. Id never been in the stand by line so I enjoyed taking photos.
That is great!!!With that Bryan scooped her up, tossed her into the seat, and snapped the seat belt closed.
We ended up with one of my favorite ride photos ever.
I'm glad that she ultimately ended up enjoying it!
That pretty much sums it up.Our next stop was Kilimanjaro Safari. What else can be said about this? We saw animals, we enjoyed it, I took photos.
Warm cookie sundae... really, how could that not be amazing? Warm cookie and ice cream? Yes please!For dessert Maddie chose a build your own sundae which she enjoyed decorating more than eating. Bryan got key lime pie, and I got a warm cookie sundae. Bryans key lime was good, but mine was amazing. It was just delicious.
Oh, she doesn't look the least bit excited.After filling our mugs we went back to Oak Manor where we changed into bathing suits and went to the pool. I believe this picture series shows how eager Maddie was to swim.
Apparently you're quick to forgive and forget! As long as it isn't Bobby Knight, A-Rod or Alex Trebek.We spent a short while in the main pool (too cold for me! The rains were making the water too cool for night swimming IMO) and then returned to the room where we enjoyed a showing of my nemesis Stacey and went to sleep.
