Thanks for reading!!!! I can say that it was an AMAZING trip.Thanks so much for posting. Looks like a very fun (and busy) time!
HI!! Thanks for joining in! I just saw your new report. Can't wait to hear about the races.I had no idea you started a trip report! I'm so glad I happened to be on the threads and saw it!
I can't wait to read all about your trip and how the wedding went and how being at Disney on your birthday was.
Not excited to hear that you had the beginnings of a possible cold, though. Yuck.
Oh gosh, I-4 and FL drivers is no fun. Smart of you to make the pit stop before reaching Pop. That way you could appreciate your arrival and soak up the joy of being back on property. (Even if it did cost you a 2 dollar Diet Coke. )
Magic Animals is the best name ever!I sat down to eat a granola bar, drink some Spark, and take my regular pills along with some cold and flu pills. After eating half of the granola bar, I decided that maybe, just maybe, food in my stomach was a bad idea so I wrapped up the 2nd half and just drank my Spark. Scotty and Lindsey got to my room a little before 7am. We quickly bought Genie+, made our first LL, and Scotty worked whatever magic he always works and got us a boarding group for Cosmic Rewind. All of us grabbed a bottle of water and off we went to Scotty's car and Animal Kingdom (or Magic Animals as my friend Rob calls it).
So cute!! I had rhinos putting on quite a show on my last safari. Three boys were showing off and trying to prove who was the boss.The rest of the safari was great. All the animals were out...including the lions. And then we got up to one of the rhino spots. There were a few adults and what looked like 1 young rhino out. The young one was literally jumping around and running all over like he had the zoomies. The adult by him was CLEARLY not amused by the antics. The young one turned and just started running toward the truck. Our guide was like "Umm, is he running AT us? He's going to stop, right?" And just then, the adult cut in front of the young one and gave him that parent look like "Knock it off right now. We have company." And the young one turned back around and went to have a snack.
Thanks on the shirts. It's amazing what you can find when you Google "Disney Bachelor party t-shirts" and Etsy is the best! Also double thanks on the congrats. Forty pounds is just a drop in the bucket though. In 2011, I did gastric bypass and lost about 150 pounds. Covid was not kind and I gained about 75 pounds back. So, back on track and starting over. For me, it's about health and being able to move around. As a professional stage manager, I have to be able to get up and down, move scenery and props, and climb lots an lots of stairs.Your shirts are really cute. Also congrats on your weight loss. Forty pounds is a big accomplishment!
That name is the best. It came about on a trip with my friend Rob. We were talking about what we were doing the next day and he said "Let's start the day at...umm...what's the name of that park? Magic Animals??" and I was like "WHAT??? Do you mean Animal Kingdom?" But of course, it stuck and that's what I call it all the time now. Hmm...looking back, I wonder if that conversation came about as a result of Rob consuming a foot long chili dog, a turkey leg, 3 large diet beers, and some cotton candy while we waited for Fantasmic? Or, honestly, it could just be that we are a little insane when we are together.Magic Animals is the best name ever!
