It always makes me sad when they talk about the poaching in the video they play in the line at Kilimanjaro Safari.
Me too. It's really good information to know and to have kids aware that these things happen, but it doesn't make it less sad to hear about.
UGH, SO GOOD!!! I couldn't finish my burger when we went either.
So delicious and giant!
I loved being on the Behind the Seeds tour and seeing the Living with the Land boats going by in the background, too. It just feels so cool to be behind the scenes
The whole VIP behind the scenes thing totally gets me! It's like their marketing team is targeting me directly!
I'm glad you enjoyed the tour; while not the most exciting I'm sure it was nice as a one time thing. You got some great elephant shots and I'm glad you were able to catch the baby elephant too!
Thanks! It was really neat to have the extra time with the elephants and to get a glimpse of baby Stella
I had still been considering the Caring for Giants tour for Aug. but had pretty much decided against it, and after reading your review and further comments I think I'll stick with no. But it still sounds kind of cool and on future trips you should definitely do more tours! Getting bored/fidgety/HUNGRY towards the end is normal I think because you've been standing/walking/listening for awhile, but so many of the tours down there are great
Probably a good call based on what you said about the boys, especially Christopher. It was neat though and I definitely don't regret doing it. We're doing Wild Africa Trek this time, and I might even consider adding Behind the Seeds. I'm worried about the heat in the greenhouse in August, but it's only an hour so it might be okay. And then I'm hoping for Marceline for January
I can't believe the rain you had all day lol! We had like one shower at Epcot while you were at DS and none earlier at MK while you were at AK! It's funny how some parks stay dry while others are flooding.But I suppose it's funnier when you're in the parks that are dry
Yeah. So funny. For you guys. lol
No, looking back it was pretty funny. At the time it just felt wet.
Weird how sporadic and random it can be, even from one park to the next.
Shouldn't it be in a bio-hazard badge holder?
Probably.
No, actually we learned that apparently elephants digest very very little of what they eat, so it all basically comes out the way it went in, just slightly chewed and clumped together...you get the pictures.
Um... so the name tag was on the more mild end of the spectrum?
Absolutely. There is smoking, inhaling, wringing out and drinking all involved. I tried to keep an open mind. But...it's poop...so...
I can understand that. It really is an inexpensive tour so I guess it comes down to what your expectations are. Seems like a great deal if you just want to get backstage for a bit and learn about elephants!
Yeah, for what we paid and what we were expecting, it was totally worth it. No regrets.
It certainly looks like it. I was a little shocked when you stopped for lunch right before cake testing. I'm glad that the icings and the cakes ended up being good pretty much across the board, it seems. Did you say the brownie/cinnamon combo is the one you chose? I thought I recalled seeing that somewhere, but it might just be me.
Yeah, eating beforhand was probably not one of my best ideas. There was just so much to eat at Disney and so little time!! We did kind of end up with the brownie and cinnamon. We're doing a small cake with cupcakes and doing half red velvet/vanilla, and half brownie/cinnamon....which, as I told N, means that since we're the wedding couple we can gorge ourselves on BOTH flavours if we feel so inclined!
