Herd of giraffes? For those who didn't read the article, the technical term is "tower of giraffes."

I have a friend who told me the barn was being occupied at the time of the birth so the vets literally had no place to take her

"On calm nights, baby Who girls, and tiny Who fellas, drift from the skies in their own pumbercellas". Everyone knows that...

I just missed it. I was on the safari that morning right after park open. We were stalled for quite a while but nothing had begun yet. There was a truck near the giraffe area monitoring things. We didn't know this was about to happen at that point of course. Soon after I got off news was spreading on what was happening.

Extra points just for having a Wheel of Time reference in your name.

Welcome to the world we live in. People will find any reason to complain, no matter how dumb it seems.

Ironically enough, I'm supposed to be taking a group of 168 parents and teachers to WDW for a band/choir trip beginning on March 23nd... with a private breakfast and ride on KS March 28. The baby's due date is March 22nd.

That's coming quick. Make sure you get your FP+ for KS so the delivery goes well!

LAKid53Jan 16, 2019

Wow, 4? Congratulations to both of you!

PREMiERdrumJan 16, 2019

With our next (4th!) baby due in about 9 weeks, I'm sure my significant other appreciates this strategy.

You’re right. I’m sorry for getting involved! 😱😭
