Friday- 🎼 “In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight” 🎶 visited Animal Kingdom! Here we became members of ACE (Alpha Centauri Expeditions) exploring and cataloging the land, indigenous animals, foliage and natives of Pandora! We paired with an avatar and flew on the back of banshees through the floating mountains and over the seas (of course I had to adopt mine). We took a cruise through the Na’Vi territory admiring the beautiful bioluminescent plants and animals, honoring Eway and the sprites who guided our journey. We traveled through time tracking an iguanadon (dinosaur) and brought him back to the future (hopefully they found him before he tore up too much of the lab😱 - it’s ok though he’s a vegetarian). We escaped the Yeti on Everest and returned from the Kali River Rapids (quite soaked I might add). Then we went on a safari (no, the camera is NOT zoomed in, the Baby giraff was that close) and then joined The King and the other animals for a wonderful celebration of 🎶 “The Circle of Life....and it moves us all! Through despair and hope! Through faith and love! 🎶 #GoldenBirthday #31on31 #AnimalKingdom #ACEConservationAndExploration #Pandora #FestivalOfTheLionKing (at Walt Disney World Animal Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPi5Ouel7TXXbAIZrpmpLJpZXg-t4kedsb0JvQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thursday - part 4 Back to the Studio! We conquered Slinky-Dog Dash (and had a dash of coffee while waiting 😂), had Target practice with the toys under Andy’s bed (which I didn’t realize until Cayla pointed it out), caught a “Run-Away-Train” with Mickey and Minnie, paid homage to Mr Disney and his enduring dream - “it all started with a mouse...and a dream!” We became honorary racers with Lightning McQueen - Kerchow! And raced to a rockin’ concert on the Rockin Roller Coaster! Then we returned to Galaxy’s Edge! Where we once again became smugglers on the Falcon! This time we got to be pilots!! Aarrhhhhhh (thats Wookiee for FINALLY!!!) we had some pretty stellar engineers though! Joined the resistance and escaped the First Order (they thought they had us captured!) We made our own lightsabers at Savi’s workshop! The experience was PHENOMENAL! So of course we had to take photos! DD-31 had his own photo shoot too! The snarky little resistance droid! 😏 Thanks to @JenniferBoxerDesigns for creating my awesome Droid Pod! Everyone loved being able to see my little droid and according to a few people I got the award for the “Best Pack!” 🤩 (photo cred. to Cayla!) #GoldenBirthday #31on31 #DisneysHollywoodStudios #DroidDepot #SavisWorkshop (at Disney's Hollywood Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPi4CWWlKqGAQXU4S2sqk448yWlsU6HjH-oqeg0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Mother’s Day to the weirdest, most quirky person I’ve ever known - Stitch grew up a hooligans and raised hooligans. She handles the creepy crawlers and loves the furry, scaley, hairless and weird. #626mama #Anna2Elsa #SheIsCuteTho #IWillKeepHerForAWhile https://www.instagram.com/p/COqtn06FELe0jFU-WPRoMUsWX6_qpd9fHHts-Q0/?igshid=99z6tnn0m4p2
