When we last left off, we had all returned from the MK and headed to bed. It was a long day for all of us.

Today was Animal Kingdom Day. The boys actually got out the door way before we did.

When Rick and I finally got up and got going, it was Rick's turn to drive the golf cart, and I rode Rick's scooter out to the Outpost

We arrive at Animal Kingdom, and get in touch with at least one of our boys. They were waiting to go into Flights of Wonder, so we wander that direction.

Classic!!! Thanks!!!

Same here! I am just worried I may not get my trip report finished before we get to SM! And then there's ANOTHER trip report to do! LOL

:rofl2:

Never any pressure around here!!!!! Just enjoy it!!

I love AK! And I love seeing all the parrots! WOO HOO!

I enjoy the parrots too!

Dh loved flights of wonder. I am waiting to see where you had lunch..... one of my favorite restaurants in in AK

Actually, lunch is not a big thing with the Kelley clan. I don't remember, but since I don't have Trails End buffet pictures, I'm thinkin this was the mornin Rick ran out and got us the bagel sandwhiches from Trails End before we headed out. However, we have dinner plans at AK.

AK is great place to capture great pictures!!! You're doing a great job Carol. You're also making me want to buy a bigger and better camera. H is in a hayfield soooo who's gonna stop me? ;D

Yes it is, but now I'm wishin I had a zoom lens and I'm scouring the internet for one I'm willing to pay for. Yeah, go for it..... Just wait awhile to show it to him, and maybe he'll think you've always had it!! :rofl2:

Oh yeahh.... the old "I've had this thing forever" bit. Not that I have EVER done such a thing. ::) :rofl2:

ETA: BTW.. I am extremely, very pro Flights of Wonder but we have a hard time catching the show too! It's worth it when we do though.

Wow!

It took me a long time to get caught up, but now I am.

My head is spinning just reading about the logistics of this trip!

Great job, Carol.

I have a question for you-

Do the KTTW cards open the back gate to the parking lot?

Right after they installed that new gate, I tried to go in that way, and my card didn't work. They also put up castmember only signs on the drive in there, so I assumed that guests weren't allowed in that way.

I would love to be able to use that gate, though.

You're welcome. Since I gave Melissa a reenactment of "The Firework"... maybe you'll get a live performance of CBJ at SM. :rofl2: Really you don't have to thank me. :rofl2: (and I don't think you will.) ;D

Rick's the singer in our family........ Just sayin......

You would NEVER do such a thing, would you!!

We use that gate all the time too. It makes getting in and out of the Fort a lot easier!

Well, I had this next post almost done, and my mouse fell on the floor and closed my browser, so let's try again!!!

Leaving Flights of Wonder, we're now just wandering towards Festival of the Lion King

Well, duh on me. Before they moved the gate, I used to go in and out that way all the time. But as I said, right after they moved it, I thought it wasn't for guest use any more. Now I know. Thanks Carol and Cherie!

Just so I'm clear, is this the same gate that the buses enter through? If so, I thought I had read that the KTTW cards didn't work there when they first put those gates up. I never even thought to check it on our last trip.

Yes, this is the same gate the buses enter through. I've been using my key card to enter that gate since Sept of 2010. I let some friends in the gate when they came to visit for dinner over Labor Day weekend. (It was Cam Newton's first Auburn football game, so I remember it well!!)

Yep, that's the gate.

And I can tell you that the first time I tried after those gates were installed, my KTTW card would not open the gate. I even got out of the truck and tried a couple of times. Then, I pulled around to the main gate, and my card worked fine. Since then, they have posted signs saying castmembers only out by the road, so I don't think they want guests to use this gate, but they obviously have left it so the the KTTW cards work. I didn't know they did.

OK, time to continue on.....

Festival of the Lion King. One of the main characters was missing, (the lead male), and he has a major singing role, so I was curious to see how they would address this.

Here is where he has the major singing role. It turns out they had one of the leads recorded and just piped his voice in.

I discovered "Sports" mode during the show. For things with lots of movement, you can just hold down the shutter and it rapid shoots with no flash. It's great. Got shots I'd never be able to get otherwise
