Loved the artsy shot of Disney-MGM's water tower through the palm trees. I have to give the honors to Florida's ToT, as well (although the West Coast version is fun).

"I wonder if I can get one of those "First Visit" badges even though I've been there once." (Niiicolaaah)

Sure! Just tell 'em it's your first time and I'm sure they'll be happy to do it. People do that here at Disneyland to get the Happy Birthday buttons.

Looking at those pictures brought me right back to WDW (I was there in October). Thanks for sharing and glad you had fun!

Cool TR, so jealous. Waiting for part two now cause it's like I'm experiencing it with you vicariously.

Awwwwwe...Thanks Guys! Seriously, I am the biggest dork ever, and your kind words are very touching!

ARE YOU READY FOR DAY TWO!?

I am not sure I am...but... HERE WE GO!

READY...OK...

Give me an A-N-I (Clap, clap) M-A-L (Clap, clap)
Give me a K-I-NG (Clap, clap) D-O-M! (Clap, clap)
That's right, Let's hear it! Animal Kingdom!

Ok, ok....I will stop...but seriously day two was quite amazing, and not because there were hundreds of Cheerleading teams walking around the park (because all those girls were wasted on me!), but because I was going to Animal Kingdom!

Image

Again...I am about to pee my pants!

Image

Even though we woke up at the Butt Crack of dawn, you couldn't wipe that grin off of my face!


Image

Just in case you missed it the first time, I was excited!

Image

Yeah this Jungle is Jumpin', sooooo many people!

Image

Once we were in...yep...that's right we raced to the back of the park...

Image

to see the TREE OF LIFE!!!

Image

Ok...The tree of life is quite beautiful, BUT...not as beautiful as...

Image

(CUE Dramatic Music! You choose! What music do you hear in your head!?)

Image

Again peeing my pants! Maybe that Astronut will loan me some 'Depends'!

Image

We got our Fastpass, grabbed a hot dog...(NICE BREAKFAST HUH!?) Listened to "My Pal Mickey", and watched this...

Image

She was quite mesmorizing to watch...has anyone else seen her before...she was beautiful...for a grape vine.

Anyway, it was time to head back to Everest...

Image

I can't wait any longer!!!!!

Image

So I pounded Everest's hole for Ryan, and ran to the Fastpass entrance!

We waited literally 2 minutes and 33 seconds...and we were at the gates ready to board.

Image

Image

Ready for Dispatch!

Image

Up the lift we gooooooo!!!

Image

Nope never seen this shot before...

Image

Or this one either...

Image

This one is pretty rare too :roll:

Image

and the rarest photo EVER!

Image

This is us falling out of Everest's hole!

Image

Everest definitely gets two thumbs up...oh wait 3 thumbs up!

We decided to go to Dinoland USA to check out Primeval Whirl!

Image
Image
Image
Image

Ready for a "Whirling good time!"

Image

Although I look like I am drunk...I felt fine....Danny however...

Image

Did not have a whirling good time!

We decided to head over to Dinosaur next!

Image

This ride kinda confused me...I enjoyed the queue...but...the ride...well...I'll let the picture do the talking!

Image

Really is worth 1000 words huh? The chick in green CRACKS ME UP!

Image

Finding Nemo the musical was fantastic! Although the plot felt a bit rushed, the puppetry and original score were quite ingenious! Please make sure to see this charming little show! I heart the jellyfish!

Danny and I continued to walk around the park some more, and take in the beautiful scenery...
Image
Image

BUT then I came across this vendor...selling...

Image

I felt a bit of nostalgia...definitely a story for another time! I almost bought it Jahan!

After some deep thought...

Image

We decided to leave Animal Kingdom and head over to EPCOT!

Once there, we raced to do Nemo and friends, Journey through the imagination, and Mission Space!

Image

Can't wait for the subs to open!

Image
Image

Journey was a fun little attraction...I loved the little surprise ending...it actually startled me...we all laughed about it!

Image
Image
Image

Ok...secretly I was a little afraid that I would get sick, but it was pretty tame...I was the Navigator! Danny was the Pilot! I had pictures of Gary Sinise...but...I think Danny trashed them! Sorry Wes!

It was time now to jump onto the Monorail, and head to the Polynesian Resort...at this time...Danny and I were both being a bit silly from being slightly tired...

Image
Image

Did you yawn just now?! Don't worry we're almost done!

Image

YAY! OHANA!!! Definitely, our second wind! I have been dying to eat here since the first time I saw Robb and Elissa eat here, I think during their WDW wedding TR. It definitely did not disappoint!

Image

I'm the Polynesian bandit....give me all your BBQ!

Image
Image

The view from our table!

Image
Image

My frosty beverage! I had to get it...it was the Year of a Million Dreams Martini! I really wanted to dive in!

Image

Then the food started to come...and it kept coming and coming and coming... ;)

Image

All you can eat! I was in heaven!

Image

And then dessert! The best bread pudding EVER!

And with that it was time for the Polynesian bandit to roll himself back to the hotel room, call it a night, and catch some zzzz's for day 3 @ MAGIC KINGDOM! I should be able to post that report soon!

Until then...peace out!

This is awesome Chuck! It makes me want to go back...although I have a nice little trip to DLR in three weeks. Perhaps that will quench the Disney thirst. :br
