Keeping in mind that this is only a written list of weird observations and strange occurances, here is what I claim to be my trip report. (Of sorts)
The Cast
Um...me and hubby. We're so lonely without little children tagging along these days. (NOT!!!) Oh well, we manage to make the best of our solitude while at the world.
The highlights of our trip.
Poop. Lots and lots of poop.
Ed, the taxi driver
More poop.
Our trip started out on a wild note with a fantastic taxi driver named "Ed". Ed should be working at the Comedy Warehouse on Pleasure Island, I'm sure of it. He had us gagging with laughter about how he discovered that a transvestite WAS a transvestite and several other *local* stories. Sadly, the tales are a bit too sordid to post here in a sweet little trip report. I was nearly sick to my stomach from laughter before we even reached our hotel room, which simply told me that we were on our way to a glorious vacation!
We ate, had fun at Epcot and did the usual...but THEN we hung out a LOT at Animal Kingdom. We spent more time at AK than usual, which is the basis for most of this great *ahem* report.
One bright sunny day (who the heck knows what day it was...only GOOFY people TRACK of what day is what when they're at Disneyworld? LOL) we headed over to Animal Kingdom to see what critters we could find.
The morning started out with us eating our muffins at an outside table at the Boardwalk with the birds swooping and screaming around us. Hubby and I were enjoying the wildlife when we both noticed at the same time, a sweet little birdie give a little squirt that dribbled all the way down the back of a metal chair. We looked at each other, gave the thumbs up in celebration of the birdies great aim and then watched in horror as a nicely dressed woman promptly sat down in the chair.
What could we say?
We chose to say nothing. LOL I mean, really, at some point in the trip, the woman was bound to get crapped on anyway, so we just let sleeping dogs lie, or...more to the point, we just ignored the crap on her outfit.
Finally, it's time to head over to Animal Kingdom. We agreed that the day was beautiful and that it was likely that we'd be seeing a few more animals than we had on prior visits.
We decided to ride the Safari early on. We usually try to fit it in several times per day, mixing up the times of day that we ride so as to see different animals.
It worked like a charm, as usual.
Our first trip out we saw more elephants than we usually saw, and delight of delights, the Safari driver stopped so we could watch an elephant unload his bowels at the edge of the pretty pond! The cameras were snapping away and children were making remarks that more often than not made their parents remark "well TALK about it LATER!"
It was great. So earthy and natural and I especially loved the panicked look on the parents faces as they realized they'd soon be caught up in a child-like conversation about elephants pooping!
After the safari we headed over to the gorilla area. By this time we had met up with our friends so we accompanied them to visit the big apes.
Well, lo and behold, seems it was a great time to be visiting the gorilla compound. One of the big daddy-type apes hunkered down with his back to us, with his butt at the edge of a cliff. Under the cliff was a beautiful waterfall, obviously creating a serene and comfortable environment for the primates.
The big silverbacked gorilla continued to squat when suddenly the crowd realized he wasn't JUST squatting.
Without so much as a grunt, the gorgeous ape did his *thing*, got up, and walked away like nothing had happened.
The crowd gasped and PRAYED that he wouldn't return and begin playing *target practice* with his pile.
We giggled and hurried out of his pitching range deciding to go on another Safari, because, smart as we were, we had picked up our Fast Passes and it was time!
Lucky us, lucky us, we got to ride in the front of the safari truck this time around...so we were privy to a few of the drivers more *private* remarks. Some of which were pretty dang funny, but again, I'm unable to share them here, as the nature of the comments WAS pretty adult. (especially for DisneyWorld! EEK!)
We're bumping along and we get to the hippo area noticing a cute baby hippo at the edge of the water. Oddly, one of the other larger hippos was FLOATING. No, he wasn't standing on the bottom of the little lake, he was floating!
The driver quickly and loudly says to the guests "THIS is gonna be GROSS folks! DON'T LOOK!!!"
Of COURSE, an entire truckload of people now turn their heads at hearing his warning, only to be met by the awesome sight of a hippo pooping.
Hippos dramatically RISE out of the water, and they begin to wag their fat little tails...yes folks, hippos DO have tails...and that fat little digit is responsible for dispersing anything that landed in the water! The *stuff* came OUT and the tail swished it all away!
The crowd sat with their mouths gaping and little children were saying "oh for COOL!".......and suddenly we were off to another adventure!
After this safari ride, hubby and I part from our friends and we head over to visit the tigers. We hadn't had much time to see them yet so we planned to stay for a while, just enjoying their antics and talking to the cast members in that area.
The tigers were their usual playful selves, and we watched them wrestle and play with their great big ball, to the amusement of a few other guests watching.
After their game of *sink the big ball and bite my neck* the tigers took a little rest.
One tiger however, needed something more. He headed to the edge of the wall where the pool is located and he began to squat.
A little boy nearby hollered to his mother with an excited little voice and said "MOM! Where's your CAMERA???"
A moment later we see mom filming with her MOVIE camera and the little boy pleading "are you GETTING THIS?" to his devoted mother.
It was so sweet. Mother/son bonding in action.
When she was done...er...when the TIGER was done, the mom put the camera down and explained to us that THIS was most likely the highlight of her sons week-long trip to DisneyWorld, and we totally understood. Little did she know that we were thrilled with the amount of doody we were privy to that week as well!
While at Animal Kingdom, we talked to some of the
animal keepers. They filled us with tons of interesting
information. Did you know that gorillas eat their
poop AND their vomit? They are simply getting the
most bang for their buck, is how we understood it.
I think you might also call it "recycling" in more
polite company. 
Did you also know that no gorillas had ever fallen into that deep trench that goes around their living area? The way they play right to the edge, we had always assumed that every now and then, one of them would have fallen in!
We also learned that in order to mate the primates you must have certain permits. The remainder of the trip, hubby could NOT resist asking people if the permit was called a "F***ing Monkey Permit". LOL My hubby. Got to love him.
Well, aside from seeing a few new hidden Mickey's here and there, seeing the AK Lodge up close and personal, and eating great food here and there, that's about it for my trip report.
Don't say I didn't warn you!

what an anti-climax....she promises this great TR, full of witty observations and only talks about one day of her trip and then only talks about poop.
Either you went for a 1 day trip, are obsessed with poop or are too lazy to even tell us what else you did there.
I suspect the latter.
Now tell us ALL the details, woman 
Or I won't do a TR from my 2 week long trip in October

Hey hey hey....it IS a great TR! It IS full of observations...did I promise WITTY? I forget.
This happens to be the Readers Digest version..the condensed version of our trip.
And yes, as the Queen Of Poop, I am obsessed, therefore that is my excuse for not writing a trip report for each and every day.
You'll have to live with it.
This IS my trip report and I got NUTHIN' to add! LOL LOL LOL
ok ok ok So I suppose I could add how cool it was to see so many Segways zooming along. I suppose I could add how much we talked to the Segway *guy* at Epcot...got lots of neato details about the operation of the little bugger.
I suppose I could tell you about how wonderful the Tapestry Of (what is it now? Dreams?) parade was...as is per usual. LOVE that parade.
I suppose I could tell you what fun it is to be at DisneyWorld with a couple of friends...friends who's company you so thoroughly enjoy that it makes the trip that much more fun.
I suppose I could tell you that I never felt really well enough to get over to MGM to ride Tower of Terror, to my disappointment.
I suppose I could tell you though, that hubby did
get to the Tower, and got to ride it all by himself!
He bought the photo as proof!
I suppose I could also tell you that the Boardwalk was wonderful as usual, that I always enjoy the quiet bar there...and that I found something I love to drink..something I often forget to ask for. Just a simple bloody mary...delicious! The bartender there would see me coming and automatically deliver one to my table. hee hee hee
I suppose I could tell you that hubby and I talked to many many people to glean details about job situations and areas to live in...all things for our future use I hope.
I suppose I could have added all these things to my report, but I didn't, so there!
I ALSO could have added that hubby got 999,999,999 as his score on Buzz Lightyear...and did you know that when you hit that number, your gun loses firepower? DAMN! And so does the COMPANION gun! Ah...Disney disappointments.
