NOW FOR THE LAST UPDATE AS WE GO ON TO.................................

Wednesday

As we about to close the book of our vacation we went to the final major park: Disney's Animal Kingdom. One that morning we first went to “It’s Tough to Be a Bug” which is good but not even close to the level of Mickey's Philharmagic. After that we went the Kali River Rapides which were wetter than the other times we rode it. And we got soaked I mean RELLY DRENCHED we took some time O long time to dry and look in some stores. We tried to get a fast pass for the safaris but I had got a fast pass for the Kali River Rapides before we saw there was a 5 min. wait so we had to ether wait 45mins to get a new fast pass or an hour to get on without one OR not do it so we then tried to get into The Festival of the Lion King but it was full. I proposed we go see Tarzan Rocks but they said we would be late for lunch. So we walked around for a wile until we came about Lucky the dinosaur. He took up a lot of space but it was funny to see an Audio Animatronic thing walking down the street also the man with him had a hand full of witty remarks. After seeing Lucky we went to Lunch at the Rainforest Café (witch costs more because it is REALLY not a part of the Animal Kingdom) After lunch we went back to the hotel purchased some items than left to the airport were in the terminal we shopped in the 2 Disney stores (go figure) and all the other awesome places then we went thou customs and then sated in the gate area for about 2 hours. When we DID get on the aircraft I was again looking out the widow much but I was sleeping much more than watching DVDs that time because my player’s switch was hit in the bag and was out of power. It all looked amazing from above almost like the starting shots of a Christmas movies with all the lights and everything. After our flight we got our car and drove. With the traffic we at the bridge in a half hour (11:30).




Thursday


But also with traffic it was an hour and a half till we got home and had put away some things. As I got quickly took some things out I rushed to bed as it was about almost 2:00 as I remembered I had school the next day.




That was quit a trip and it was my frist plane rides well it was fun and I also hope you guys (and girls) have liked reading my updates (even if there are some-alot of typos :P ).

Good updates Jiminy! I enjoyed reading them. How did you like Dixie Landings?? errr... ummm I mean Port Orleans Riverside ( so painful to type!). I've stayed there 5 or 6 times (twice when it was Riverside, the last trip being this past March!).

Too bad you didn't get to ride Soarin'- it opened not long after I left and I would so loved to have seen it!

I just read your AK update- did you get to go on Dinosaur? (will always be Countdown to Extinction to me!) That ride scared the bejeezus out of me. I finally gave up going on it because it wasn't worth the pain and agony. I just hate scary rides like that!

I miss WDW so much!!! Thanks for the updates. :earsguy:

I personally loved “It’s Tough to Be a Bug”! It's my favorite 3D show anywhere! However Mickey's Philharmagic is great too.

And I loved Dinosuar! I thought it was the one of the best(and one of the most underrated) rides at Walt Disney World!

Thanks for the updates Jiminy! Sounds like you had fun!

as I said on page 2 " At the time we got to the port Orleans riverside resort I was desponded in the lobby and we had to walk very VERY far to get to our room. After we put our things in the room (It was nicer than I would have thought for being a cheaper one)" but yes other than the lobby and long walk it was very nice.

And I never got to go on Dinosaur. I was going to but I kept have 2nd thouts.

Thanks for your very detailed trip report, JiminyCrick91. I've really enjoyed reading all of them. It has me very excited for my upcoming trip, just when I was getting a little discouraged because of some difficulties in planning. Thanks! Just 16 days left for me. :D
