I brought our 2 kids to Animal Kingdom by myself

[@shellysmom7002]

It warms my heart to see someone with such a positive parenting style!

[@cathyhamilton5131]

Your safari driver was amazing. He sounds like a jungle cruise captain who was relocated!

[@bethgood3214]

My thoughts exactly!

[@annagrace2604]

Yesss! "I could pull the map out of the glove compartment... I'm a man I don't need a map" Has me dying!

[@Jay1637]

Ashley, you're stronger than you think you are. Honestly, I have no kids but being in a large family and always being around kids and babysitting I know how difficult it can be to juggle it all. And then to top it off you dealt with the Florida heat and humidity while wearing a mask and juggling a camera! That's a lot and although you might've felt a bit miserable at the moment you still put on a brave face and pulled through for your kids. That's strength and positivity. You made it thru the day and now you see how it was all worth it. You live and you learn and grow so you'll keep improving with time. Don't be too hard on yourself because you're a great Mom. You and Joe make a fantastic team. Many blessings. I love you all

[@gaile8866]

You're amazing Ashley!! Even attempting to balance a toddler, infant and camera is way out of my comfort zone! You rock!!

[@amycronkright6421]

Maybe all you remembered was the heat and sweat and not doing much, but what those boys will remember is a fun time with their mom! You are an amazing mom, Ashley!! I’ve enjoyed watching you the past several years!

[@TamiDunn]

I adored the conversation with you and Lee at the end of the video :)

[@Speech-geek]

Ashley! I know you said “we did it” at the end but YOU did it! This stranger on the internet is proud of you and the kids. The Yeti is a great idea and I love your parenting style. Can’t wait to watch more videos!

[@JenniferA2027]

Ashley and Lee (and Yeti) talking at the end was abominably adorable! 🤣 What an amazing vocabulary you’ve introduced Lee to! You guys just warm my heart! Much love! ❤️

[@SeeYaReelSoon]

We see what you did there! 😉🥰

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

I have a book called Magical Mouse Schoolhouse. It was designed for homeschoolers visiting WDW and using a visit to the parks as credits for classes. Lee is young but you might want to check it out. It is available at Amazon.

[@chrissay]

Ashley, you inspire me! With the craziness of the world I stopped taking my kids out by myself because I didn't think I could handle it alone since my husband is essential (and works crazy hours) but after watching you take Lee and Dennis to the parks by yourself (multiple times now!) I was like if Ashley can handle Disney, I can at least handle Target! And I did. Thank you for being a strong, inspiring mom.

[@The321asdfff]

Wow Ashley. What a wonderful job with the boys at Animal Kingdom! Super Mom!

[@beverlydrury3666]

Ashley, you are amazing! 2 kids, the heat, masks! You are brave to tackle But you did a superb job, as Lee and Dennis both had happy smiles on their faces. Can’t wait for more adventures xx

[@JustAnotherDisnerd]

Ashley, you are the definition of a SUPER MOM. I can't wait to take my daughter on her first trip. It was supposed to be in April, but now we're going to wait until next year. Also, Lee is always so well behaved! I'm sure he has his moments, as all toddlers do but I'm going to make my daughter take notes for her trip. Haha!

[@cngash8504]

Great job Ashley. Your boys are a great example of the wonderful mother you are. I am so glad you took them by yourself to see that you can do it. Joe is so proud of you I'm sure. Have fun on this new adventure. Thank you for sharing.

[@asmileinyourheart9898]

Awwww “he can tell you’re a wilderness explorer!” 🥺💗 So sweet! I love Lee’s excitement over the character boats!

[@bunsenhoneydew347]

I....stinkin’....love....Dennis!!!!!❤️ And of course Lee is adorable and soooo well behaved! They both are. Good job mama!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@seh1286]

I absolutely love this series and the floating Ashley voice. I am so excited for the new channel too. This is all so great and I am so happy you are back on KZbin and going strong!

[@WeCanShowYoutheWorld]

That is the most out of the box CM on the Safari! Someone is happy to return to work :) -- K

[@caraturner96]

Ashley, you did so great! You are all rockstars and make such a great team!

[@wendyrosenfeld5436]

I remember watching y’all in the beginning and now as parents this is such a fun journey! My kids are teens, so you’re bringing me back to the baby toddler days and you are both excellent parents!!!!

[@paigeh.479]

Thank you for taking us with you on your AK day. I know it’s a lot with two kids and a camera! I miss WDW so much and this helps!

[@skylarmcmahon5139]

They have a train at animal kingdom?! I had no idea. Also you are amazing Ashley!

[@JorgeRafaelNogueras]

Oh, I didn't know Animal Kingdom had a "river parade": is that new? (Well, I haven't been there for like 5 years, so "new" is relative!) 😂 I'm glad you guys are putting up new videos: my kids and I love them! Have fun and stay safe!

[@lisahoeme]

Ashley, you’re amazing! Most of our WDW days are spent without my husband and I treasure those special moments with my daughters. The wilderness must be explored!

[@jessicagrewe6582]

I have loved the commentary with the videos! It's different and I really like it. Also, every time I see your posts on instagram or vlogs on youtube I can't help but smile. Your kids are always smiling and so happy (I know it's not ALWAYS..) but I can tell y'all just have a happy and positive spirit. I love it!

[@mermaid_and_jedi_adventure8704]

Good job Ashley! You are a super mama!

[@dorisrodriguez1362]

So sweet watching your day at AK with your boys. The conversation at the end with Yeti was my favorite though . Thanks for sharing 😎

[@lorenaarias1952]

You did an amazing job with your two boys! It’s not easy and then walking in that heat, wow! Bravo to you! You are a great mom, loving and patient.

[@MarkieHayesMakeup]

Ashley, your hair always looks so good! Can you share what you use for your curls on your channel 🤣

[@ericabecker5878]

Yes! I second this! Please share the products you use from someone with crazy curly hair! Lol

[@barbhawkinson659]

Amazing job Ashley! Especially in this heat. Its going to cool down this weekend thank goodness 😊 You have the cutest kids in the world! 💙💙💙

[@ashleymanley331]

The Baby Care Centers are AMAZING! When my youngest was potty-training, we visited the one at Epcot several times. It was a lot less stressful for her than the regular restrooms. And the CMs working were so kind and cheered for her when she was successful! :)

[@TheClassicQ]

Holy Cats You are a brave Woman!

[@CuteJellyfish95]

It looks like you guys had a wonderful day, despite the heat! Congrats to Lee for becoming a Wilderness explorer! And that safari driver was amazing, haha!

[@victoriaanderson5849]

Watching while grumpily washing dishes. LOLED When i found out someone else quotes happy Madison too 😂

[@sharonfoss328]

Precious memories... what beautiful parenting skills... bursting with love and patience...your boys are so blessed! Also.. we just flew out of WDW on October 5! Missed you again!!

[@clockwork_fayz4412]

The preschool teacher me is here evaluating his language and cognitive skills and social-emotional as I watch 😂 he’s exceeding expectations in all areas!

[@superbowlchamps52]

For a second I thought this was Ashleys Lemond Stand, glad to see a Sunday update! You 2 are so inspiring!

[@irishgirl9667]

Future Ashley has a soothing voice!

[@andriana05]

Great video. Way to go mom!!!! You did awesome!! Dennis has stolen my heart and Lee is such a big boy now!

[@SituationalSalad]

Adorbs 🥰

[@ShihtzuBambi]

The ending of vlog is the Best! What a great! Day the boys had. Dennis blowing raspberries 😂 You did amazing Ashley, with 2 kids and the heat. ❤️

[@bryonykay_]

To Ashley & Joe, you both are rockstars! for embracing the pandemic & making such a positive environment for your boys. from someone that doesn’t know when her next trip to Disney will be, thank you for sharing your Disney days. PS. Lee & the Yeti melt my heart

[@ericamarie11895]

Your videos always make my day!! Love you guys!

[@cheflilyo3142]

I booked an Animal Kingdom Lodge safari view room for July, but Covid ruined that. I was only going to do one park day with them, because there's three of them and one of me lol, which is why I booked that amazing room. Then Disney wasn't open, so we switched to Shades of Green for August, and THEN they extended their closure, so I just took it as a sign lol. We are waiting for daddy to come home, and we are camping at Fort Wilderness next month 🤗

[@jennithepooh4u]

I’m so happy you get to experience this time with your kids. I have such great memories of me and my kids alone in animal kingdom. ❤️❤️❤️ treasure every minute! And thank you for sharing this with us! ☺️

[@kristenzem]

Also the baby center at AK is the best one!

[@wanderbycompass5432]

We had the same safari guide on our last trip! We loved him!

[@denisedunne7988]

What a great day Ashley! Well done you xx

[@MonarailMom]

I give you a lot credit Ashley especially on the safari ride with the boys that ride is bumpy!! Boys are absolutely adorable. Happy to see you there enjoying it all with boys making best of it for sure happy Joe thought of this! A good man. I do have a ?. Is it free for children 3-0?? Wondering since this virus n restrictions/reservations. Thanks if you could let me know much appreciated.

[@cherylmantle2838]

That is awesome that you had a great day at Animal Kingdom! I remember my many trips to the zoo, just my boys and me. Special memories!! ❤️😎❤️. Can’t wait till the next video!!

[@SHIRLEYZAPORZON]

Wow, good job Ashley. I was sweating watching you. I know how hot it is at this time of the year !

[@firemenal900]

good job ashley. i loved every minute. at one point i could hear the music in the background and it really made me smile.

[@sarahgreco9282]

Great video!! Not that I love seeing you alone with the boys but I love parents having the confidence to take their kids to theme parks alone - just like Joe & Lee! You are wonderful parents! Question I have for all you parents of young children (my girls are 27 & 29) how are you explaining the pandemic to them?

[@RachelEJBeauty]

Lee is so cute!!

[@livingthedoelife8953]

Rivers of Light actually closed permanently, so it won’t be coming back even when the pandemic is over. It really sucks you never got to see the show, it was really good when I was there! Loved your Animal Kingdom vlog with your boys❤️ you all always make me smile!

[@amymadand]

Awesome video. Ashley, where did you get your mask? I love it!

[@d.jsamurai3162]

Hi Joe And Ashley I Haven't Seen You Guys In A While.🖐

[@KevinKellyWx]

What was that checklist you two use for the kids?

[@laramalone7193]

Anyone know where she got lees mask? Would love to get some for my kiddos

[@SeeYaReelSoon]

Etsy! “Disney kids mask”

[@toricomella629]

hi lee

[@bluegold1026]

The floating cavalcades of characters are fun and all, but that shouldn’t mean the end of traditional character meetings entirely.
