I mean, I can’t believe I made the effort to do stairs only to come upon the mess of Brazilian chanting teenagers invading just about every corner not to mention the tiny tots running un-attended in any feasible space left.
[Is that better?]

I don’t blame you! I did think it I was crazy that I thought the water smell was pleasant. But then I found out that they make candles that smell like PoC!
Agree completely @Wahoohokie and you get a concierge-type tour of the savannah, with a lunch/snack at the special safari retreat bungalow. Plus some 200+ candid photos from multiple backstage safari moments. I have the Best photo of DD21 laughing beyond restraint at something our guide said as we overlooked the hippos on the carbiner safety line – totally priceless. And incredible photos of the giraffes right up to our off-road safari vehicle, including babies.

This was my most embarrassing moment in a Disney park. I got in the hot seat in 2003, but went out on the second question. The 7 year-old before me and the 9 year-old after me won prizes, but I didn’t make it past question two. You might think I missed the question because I just didn’t know a particular piece of Disney trivia, but no, it was an analogy question comparing trees to something else nature-related. At the time, I’d just taken the GRE to get into my Ph.D. program and done really well, so it was hilariously ridiculous that I couldn’t get a simply analogy question correct. They gave me a button to wear for the rest of the day, and I finally took it off because cast members kept asking me how I’d done. 
Hope you had a more successful experience @Dad!

I got to the 32,000 point question. I had to use the “Ask the Audience” for one of the first 5 questions. The question was “In the Disney movie Hercules, the minions of Hades are called by what names”
The answer was Pain and Panic.
I had a few other questions I thought were really easy.
A Crepe is a French version of what food? Pancake
Richard M. Nixon’s middle name is what? Milhous.
A few others I have forgotten.
The question I went out on was this:
“This New York toy store has a 30 story giraffe and a 3 story ball in it’s parking lot?”
A) The Disney Store
B) FAO Schwartz
C) Kay Bee Toys
D) Toy’s R Us
I had 30 seconds. I said out loud that I didn’t think it was the Disney Store, but this was Disney World and they could self promote. I was sure it wasn’t Kay Bee. FAO Schwartz was the biggest toy store in the world, so it was likely them. Final Answer. It was Toys R Us.
I had remembered the first person who got the million. John Carpenter. He got all the way through without using a lifeline. Then, on the last question, he used the Phone a friend and told him he didn’t need help but just wanted to tell him he was going to win the million. I guess I figured I was about 60% sure I was right, so I decided to hold off. Once you get to a certain point though, that lifeline almost becomes worthless. Also, you never know who you are going to get with the “Ask a complete stranger”. I would have loved to use it on the last question and said " I don’t really need your help, but just wanted to tell you I’m going on a Disney cruise."
I was smiling so hard that day. They could have offered to sell me a DVD of that for $200 and I would have paid it. Would have been the best souvenir I could have ever asked for.

I haven’t been to New York, but I think FAO is downtown, so I doubt they have a parking lot. That would have been my rationale to rule it out. Otherwise, would have been guessing.

I’ve never been to New York either. I’ve just seen the inside of the store from the movie “Big.”
I was in college then, and didn’t have kids.I never would have thought of Geoffrey the Giraffe. Sure, I knew it was the Toys R Us Mascot, but in the heat of the moment, it slipped my mind.

Oh, I missed the part about the giraffe. Don’t know if I would have thought of that when put on the spot.
I definitely would not have gotten the Hercules question because I didn’t see that movie until about a year ago.

I still haven’t seen it. Like I said, had to use the “Ask the Audience”.

It was definitely the best “pre-me-having-kids” experience I could have ever done.
Since having kids though and seeing the smiles that their faces have had - I can’t rate it as my favorite moment.
