I just love this TR! I have 2 small children of my own but I have to agree with you about the FP machine! That drives me nuts, we don't even allow Emilie in the FP areas it is just to congested. Didn't you say you had pictures? So where are they???

ANIMAL KINGDOM

As far as AK goes I always feel like a Petunia in the Onion Patch (did I really say that??? or is my grandmother controlling my mind from beyond? )

Because I LOVE the Animal Kingdom - and so many don't. I don't know why they don't - it's filled with animals. What can be more loveable than animals?

So, my thoughts on Animal Kingdom:

Kilomanjaro Safaris is way more fun when the animals co-operate - DO YOU HEAR THAT CHEETAHS? YOU TOO, LIONS... Both were actually up and moving around - so my suspicions that they were really clever animatronics have been dashed....

The Safari is way more fun when your driver is certifiable (though not necessarily for a jeep ) - and ours was - but in the nicest way possible. I'm sure I bounced 2 pounds off each thigh. Thanks Sid from South Africa!

Be patient - Finding Nemo: The Musical is worth the wait.

Watching a baby antelope leap for joy just for the sake of leaping for joy is a great way to spend 10 minutes

Three Simbas to the great CM at Everest who speeded us non-fastpass holders through the fastpass line at the end of the day!

The Jim-Jammin' Parade is Jim-Jammin' terrific (and possibly every second family in America gets to be in it).

In a former life I was a tiger.

Why do McDonald's French Fries taste better in Disney?

I wonder if The Dig has ever swallowed up a kid...

When it rains you get wetter in the AK than anywhere else..

There are times when the bats should be discreetly curtained just sayin' (and that little 4 year old girl's father - "But what are they DOING Daddy?" - agrees with me)

The Bald Eagle is really quite beautiful....hence "bald is beautiful"

Stop and watch the storytellers in Asia - like stopping to smell the roses.

Guanno Joe is cool.

Why am I always afraid "we're not going to make it! we're not going to make it! - but we always do...

Real meerkats are just as cute as cartoon ones.

The "Circle of Life" still makes me cry And if you can't sit in the Simba section at Festival of The Lion King, just don't go.

Have you had a Crocodilian today?

We love Jungle Cruise at night also. And isn't funny how they skip out on you when it comes to the churro.

Nothing says manly like pulling out a wristlet whilst paying for a mickey shaped ice cream.

As long as the wristlet matches your shoes you are good to go. Wait, is it your shoes or your socks you are suposed to match it with. I get so confused.

Sorry to Threadjack llama. Great report so far.

You are RIGHT - unless it's riding Dumbo with your little girl or boy.

It always amazes me to see the things people bring to the parks -Dear Friends, we're not going on a three week hike through the Amazon Rainforest. Chances are you won't need 3 changes of clothes....if the kid gets icecream on the shirt, well, you need to buy souvenirs anyway.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. The first trip I took with my DILs we talked about taking snacks (I thought for the room). The first day my DMIL packed a whole box of Twinkies for the parks. They carried that whole box around all day. By day 2 or 3 the box stayed in the room. I'm sure the security guy was laughing inside.

I love your trip report.
