Great updates! But now I'm bummed that we won't get to see Remy when we go back next June. Great pictures, too!

[scdisneyfan]

Glad to hear its not the dairy issue! I too love cheese and milk products a lot myself and cannot imagine being allergic to it all That was just the first thing I thought of because I have a friend who is.....
Great updates though....I too want to see that cute jacket! Glad you found it...its always nice to find what you are looking for when you are on a mission.
I too find that the podcasts teach me things about disney that I wouldnve never thought of, like one time they did this top ten best treats in the world....that was a challenge for me when I went the next time to try everything out *L*
Cant wait for the next update!

It sure looks like you all had a blast together! I loved the pics of Andy and Brandi in the POTC room! Remy is just so adorable. I wish I had gotten the opportunity to see him in France! Can't wait for more.

Crissy, that sounds like one podcast/mission the Loflins would want to try!

Day 6 Thursday 4/16

We got up this morning and made it to the AK for opening. We decided to take our time and walk around the Oasis. There was lots of lovey dovey goodness going on in the Oasis this morning......
First, these sweethearts....


And then this sweet family of ducks and duck babies....


We caught the CMs bringing out the maccaws (that's a maccaw right?)... they fed them some treats and then got them settled for the day.


This guy was out, and while he's not with a lovey dovey buddy, he did totally remind us of Mittens....

We have many many many pictures of Mittens in this very seductive pose. I don't know what her deal is. She just likes sitting like a human apparently.

We made our way over to EE and grabbed a couple FPs. The line was nothing so we decided to ride it now, too.

See the cute jacket?

After EE we were both hungry for breakfast and had some snack credits to blow since our trip was getting close to ending. We went back to Pizzafari and grabbed some yummy goodness. Our little lovey dovey duck buddies were back, too!

For some reason, ducks also remind us of Mittens...... I don't know why.....I guess we just missed Mittens.

After breakfast we went back over towards Dinoland. We stopped along the way to see some pooh..... I mean Pooh and friends






We rode Dinosaur next, another fun adventure, and then hit up Primeval Whirl next. Then for some reason we thought Whack-a-Packy was hilarious to say so we decided to play And we got beat by a kid!


We went back to EE to use our FP and Brandi called while we were on the ride to let us know she was there We met her near Flame Tree and grabbed lunch b/c we were hungry! I some flame tree bbq!

After lunch we decided to ITTBAB which we haven't done in a while.


We made a biiiiig mistake at this point. We let ourselves sit on the front row b/c that place was packed. Front of ITTBAB = panic attack!!!! When that smoke came out.....I'm telling you.... Andy was in the middle of me and Brandi and I couldn't see him beside me. I couldn't see ANYTHING. And it was cooooold. Never again would I sit on the front row. Seriously!

We went back to EE after our freak out and waited in line which wasn't a terrible wait. We made Andy suck it up and ride by himself


I swear, there's something wrong with all of us...


By now it was getting to be early afternoon and we needed to head back. Brandi took us back to ASMo and Pom came and met us later that afternoon. We hung out and then headed out to Epcot that evening.

Our first stop in Epcot was of course Mexico for some nachos We do love to eat.....
We kept the Mexican theme going by heading into pavilion to ride the Gran Fiesta Tour. And I think it was here that we ran into the Blair Witch kid.....right Brandi? We had to go in a different way with Pom and when we got up there at the side of the pyramid, there was this kid, standing facing the wall, like right up against the wall, and to us, it looked like he was peeing So we stood there, stared, cause what else are you going to do? He finally turned around, and apparently he'd been texting.......texting something inappropriate apparently But still, he freaked us out. Very Blair Witch guy in the corner-esque. Freaky kid.

When we got inside I had to go to the bathroom so Brandi and I went to the one at San Angel. The men's was closed for refurb But the girl's was open...and this is what we found:


And Brandi HAD to check it out


Our next stop on our World Tour was Germany. I think we had bottomless pits as stomachs for this trip because Andy got himself pretzel number who knows what and a beer.


Brandi had a brat


And Pom had a stink look on his face...


We just relaxed in Germany, eating, people watching, good times Then we headed over to the UK for the 8pm BI show. After the show we finally made it over to Nemo We all rode together and then meandered around the Seas. We showed Brandi and Pom the newbie manatee.

After a while Brandi and Pom headed out. We made plans to talk tomorrow about what we'd do. Brandi had a field trip that day (oh by the way, the reason we were able to have an all day Brandifest is b/c she was uh....cough cough...sick that day )....... Anyway, we knew she'd be busy for most of the day tomorrow but there were plans of a Bakelin sleepover

After they left it was EMH so we stuck around in the Seas a bit longer, watching the dolphins and then thought about checking on Soarin'. The line was too long for us so we said screw it, let's eat some more So we walked back to France and had a glass of champagne and a crepe . We stopped in Japan and shopped some and then walked through Morrocco. Once we reached the point of dragging our feet behind us we knew it was time to head out.

Coming up: Andy learned and became the TSMM master!

I'm sorry...but are those birds, um, well, you know, YOU KNOW??? Are they? Cuz it sure looks like it and I know this is a family board and all, but I did a quadruple take at that pic.

FYI...your cat's pose is HIGH-sterical. Or, as Paris Hilton would say, and I can just imagine the cat thinking it, that's hot.

[mestitch]

I did realize that it does look like they are....ummmm....yeah....
but actually the one at the back was helping build the nest...he was bringing sticks and stuff over and adding to the nest.....

[amandal]

OMG, that random picture of mittens in the middle of the AK pics is freaking HI-larious. Did I mention how much I'm loving the rapid fire updates??

[BeatlesBran]

I totally forgot about that Blair Witch kid!! I would have sworn on my life that that kid was peeing out there. But, he obviously was doing something he didn't want his mama to see. Wasn't it Pom that told him there was a bathroom inside?!?

[bethf]

I'm loving the rapid fire updates but def miss the stories and photos that are in your TR. I can't believe it's almost time for you guys to go back again!

What do you mean? I realized that I didn't take a lot of pictures at some points in the trip. The next update will be a prime example. We got wrapped up in what we were doing and I just didn't pick up the camera.

[Brit_Invader]

Yeah, so the reason Blair Witch kid turned around was because I screamed "HEY KID!" at him b/c I thought he was doing his business. He then turned around and held his phone out as to say "hey short fat balding guy...I'd texting!" As Melissa said, it must have been an interesting text

[Kenny]

Great update, but only one??!
