Dorothy and Blanche:A tale of left over shoes and lost items! DONE 7/14 just in time!

We grabbed a seat for the Main Street Electrical Parade, next to a garbage can, and honestly, I picked that spot so no one would sit beside me and block my shots! LOL I don’t bring my tripod with me, and I know I should have, but I don’t want to lug it around, it’s big and bulky and heavy, and my camera equipment is heavy enough without that. My tripod also doesn’t fit in my suitcase now, so that doesn’t help the situation either! So I was shooting hand held and it gets annoying when people lean in front of me… I get that I’m in a crowd, but I thought about my spot and I picked that deliberately. At DL, the CMs tell the guests not to move the cans and put them back into place, but no one did that here. Oh well. I still got some shots I like!

So are you ready for tons of parade pictures? There is not much to say about the parade, well, for me anyway, so I'll let the pictures do the talking!

My view from where I was sitting:

After the parade, we were tired and left the park for a night of beauty sleep!

I had time before beauty sleep to head down to Everything Pop for a Brownie. The receipt says OMG Brownie! Hahahaha.

That was the day it was pouring rain when we got to MK (possibly even before we left for MK) and I had seen a Mickey jacket that I liked, so I browsed around to find it. We found it really cold inside the air conditioning because we were so wet, so we looked for hoodies or sweaters and jackets. I did buy the jacket, but I didn’t find a hoodie. My only complaint about the jacket is that it’s a little short. I’d prefer a rain jacket a little longer. I don’t think Blanche found anything then either.

And I found another receipt; it looks as though we shopped at Everything Pop in the afternoon too, because I spent $150 at about 4 pm! Hahaha

A last picture at Pop before heading in!

Good spot for the MSEP, we used it a few days before. I grabbed a spot where a planter or something to that effect ran into the line barrier, creating a triangular "wedge" we could stand in without being nudged out.:thumbsup2

Lost track of the days, but was this Saturday the 24th? The weather matches up.

It's always nice to find a safe little spot. LOL This was still Aug 22.

we were on our way to AK! My normal AK routine is to head straight for the safari, but we decided to head for Expedition Everest this time. We had not arrived at park opening, so we were changing this up.

Oooh! Look, it’s DeVine! I had’t seen her in ages!!! We didn’t stop to see her, and it looks like she was heading out anyways, but I had a second to snap a picture.

Primevil whirl is fun. I totally enjoy it, and I enjoy it even more with Blanche because she is hilarious! She was screaming that we were going to die, we were going to fall out etc. I have a video, but I can’t share it, sorry! And sorry, Blanche, but you are just so fun to listen to on all these rides!

I stopped for a few pictures of the beautiful Tree of Life. I think next trip I am going to stop for longer and take even more pictures!

Funny stuff about the Primeval Whirl. I bet the video would be hilarious. I have to say though that I'm not a fan of Dinoland. It just looks cheap and typical carnival stuff that goes around the country. Disney should be above that in my opinion.
 
Divine must be well blended in because I can't find her in a single picture!
I would be like Blanche on the Prime evil HURL!

I know! Blanche is totally hilarious on rides! She totally freaks out.

I agree with the Dinoland opinion. It doesn't really fit in with AK in my mind.

Divine must be well blended in because I can't find her in a single picture!

Good catch! I must have missed it when I was linking in the pictures. Oops! I will go back and add her now.

Primevil HURL! :lmao:
 
Finally, it’s safari time! I had been ready all week! I love the safari, I just love seeing the animals and trying to get some nice pictures of them.

Well, okay, maybe not a baby, but a smaller, younger one!

Was that enough animals for you? If not, there are TONS more on my flickr sight. Or if you want to see some of the pictures a little larger, then you can, just click on any picture and browse from there. ;)


 
The closeup of the Rhino is spectacular. Well Done. The giraffe peeking into the bus on unsuspecting tourists is funny as well. What a missed opportunity by them!
 
Awesome shots! I love the baby giraffe. And that guy in the truck not looking practically has the giraffe right next to him. :rotfl2:

Thanks! I know! I really don't understand why they aren't paying any attention to it. :confused3 I wonder if they were stuck beside it for a while and got bored. I wouldn't be bored for sure!

Thanks. Someone shouldn't have gone to Animal Kingdom if he doesn't like animals.... :thumbsup2
 
Pizzafari for lunch! Have I mentioned how much I love pizza? I can't wait to go back to Pizzafari on my next trip! Blanche doesn’t love pizza quite as much as I do, but she did enjoy her kid’s meal turkey sandwich.

I must have said no side salad with my pizza. Is the kid's cheese pizza the same as the adult cheese pizza? Or is it smaller? Because it would be cheaper to go for the kids meal, probably.

I snapped some more pictures of this colorful CS restaurant before heading out.

Then we decided to do one of our must dos from every trip. Watch Festival of the Lion King. If you don’t like pictures from the show, you might want to skip the next few updates because I took over 200 pictures. I only saved about 75 because many were duplicates.
