I am glad they are keeping it limited at least.

So we had just left the side of the river and were headed further south to West Thumb. After heading down the road a while we came back to the shores of Yellowstone Lake. After taking in the lake for a few minutes we continued down the road till we hit a traffic jam. The speed limit in Yellowstone is 35 MPH if I remember correctly. When an animal is spotted by the side of the road that drops to about 0. But you do get some nice pictures because of it. Elk and since Silvia is taking the picture and has impeccable timing. Elk butt :rofl3: Sorry, continuing on. More Elk After that

Fortunately i had just finished eating dinner when I started reading this. And no my leftover roast chicken is not comparing.

I bet this will also make it harder to get reservations.

Yep found the official one shortly after I started the thread.

That's what I had heard and was hoping would stay true. I liked the fact that the Magic Kingdom still did not have alcohol. I like a drink as well but it was nice that one of them was dry for the people who really did not want to be around it. Hopefully it's limited availability won't lead to more puking on the teacups. :barf:

Fresh from the Disney Parks Blog. It's confirmed Beer and Wine at Dinner. http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2012/09/storytelling-through-dining-at-be-our-guest-restaurant-in-new-fantasyland/

It is absolutely amazing Heidi. Glad you are enjoying it so much. We did not make it to the Boiling River. Just one of many things we didn't get to see on this trip to Yellowstone. Oh well there' always the next one. Alaska is on our list of must see places. We really want to visit Denali National Park

Has anyone else heard that Be Our Guest will be serving Beer and Wine. Not available for takeout though. Not sure how I feel about the Magic Kingdom having alcohol.

That's fine with me. I will senif I can help her out.

I think Lou disagrees with you TCD

When are they flying? Where in FL are they? Do they need any accommodations?

TCD this is the next morning out exploring. I do have campsite pictures that will be coming up later.

Count me in. I can't wait for our first cruise next summer.

I think that we on the east coast have trouble grasping a skyline that is not broken up. No trees or cities. Just wide open spaces as far as the eye can see.

Okay continuing on. I have lots of picture to pick from for the first day at Yellowstone. A lot are pretty similar so I will try and share the best or most unique ones. We headed south from the canyon area headed for west thumb. There are a lot of green rolling hills in this part of the park so I will share some pics of that. Our first herd of buffalo Continuing south We stopped off to look at some of the thermal features on the way. For those of you that don't know Yellowstone is actually the caldera of a supervolcano. It had not erupted in something like 100,000 years but there is

Yeah its was a wee bit chilly there. And i will freely admit my blood pressure and heart rate went up more than a little seeing that guy so up close. I hope so too. It is totally worth it. I don't know how common it is. I know my wife is a clutz too that didnt help that she couldn't see the chair she was trying to sit back down on. Glad my info will be of help to someone. and I am always happy to be liked. :-) Thanks. Glad you are enjoying the journey.

We certainly did. Even now we long to see another one. Thats why we went 6+ hours out of our way coming home from the Fort in July to hit Shenandoah.

She said it better than I did. Thanks Heidi. It funny Stef that you would says that about the how impressive thing. While I had seen much of this once before, for Silvia it was all new. I was just as impressed the second time but the real joy for me was watching Silvia's reaction to these places. She said a couple of time's on the trip that she thought she had seen the most awe inspiring thing that day only to have to be amazed by what she saw the next day. Don't feel bad that there aren't enough words to use a different one each time. Nature has a way of doing that. And no. I was not cuddli

I will work on an explanation and pm it to you.

I am so glad that when you needed it you were given the chance to get away to Yellowstone. I can't think of any more perfect place to come to peace with yourself and the universe than there. I hope the tears are of joy and remembrance.

Absolutely true.

So after leaving the area down the canyon we head over to the upper falls. These are much easier to reach. These are more powerful spray wise because they have a smaller opening to pour through so we did get a little bit misty. After this we headed south through Yellowstone. This map might help you to follow along We headed south from Canyon towards Bay Bridge and on to West Thumb I'm sorry I am going to have to interrupt this trip report. Some pictures I want to share apparently never got loaded to Photobucket. I will return with more later.

Thanks Andrew.

We still think and talk about it all the time. The pictures I have been posting for everyone are a rotating background for my computer . Even if we do another trip of this nature this will always be our First epic trip together. Well right after her tripping and almost falling in the church when we got married. hehehe. Don't worry. I caught her.
