We cashed it in right before the trip- and the amount was $137 !!! Thanks Nikki for that tip!!
Here are some old scrapbook pages from that first trip with Sean & Tyler.
And when i noticed the Maji bar had Tangerine Dreams, i ordered one to share with Pods- to me, this is the BEST frozen cocktail, it is not too sweet, and it tastes like a creamsicle. MMM!!
One thing I love about AKL, now I see at AKV too, is the lounge areas. They are so inviting. I just want to sit there with some friends and a glass of wine.
Hey they even put in a hdden mickey mug!
loving your report, can't wait to read more
It certainly has been a great day for your family. When I'm on vacation with the kids, "going with the flow" is the best strategy. Very enjoyable and relaxing. Smiles all around!
We rented vacation points before and loved having the extra room . At some point we need to have time away from each other, even if it's only for a few minutes.
Great update! Lovely evening at MK. Great animal pics from the balcony.
And dinner - yum! So nice that the bus driver took you back. And the walk home was probably lovely. We were so lazy this summer that we kept taking the car back and forth because it was soooooooo blazing hot! So glad that Sean is continuing to have a great time. All the pics of the "4" boys are great!
So, I really am curious - why 3 resorts in 6 nights? I just assumed it was because you booked late and that's what was available. You must be very organized to keep up with all that packing and unpacking.
Anyway, looking forward to the next stop on the Disney resort tour bus! Great trip so far!
Woohoo finally into MK! Glad you finally had some luck with the bus.
That first plate of food looks like mine from Nov. You sure you didn't sneak a pic of my plate?
What a lovely day you had! Too bad you didn't get to stay longer at Kidani but it seems like you made the most of it!
You ARE a lucky girl! Pods was a blond, too! My DH was a blond when I met him - after the AF cut it all off, it came back in brown. Your youngest looks just like Pods!
I love all your animal pics from your SV! Isn't it amazing to be out there that close to all those beautiful creatures?
Oh! I was behind a post - looks like a great meal at Boma! I love how your family was able to laugh and take time to just enjoy being together! So Sweet! Which rides did Sean like at MK?
Loved all the pages!
Isn't front row on EE awesome?
I've always been really leary of the menu at Sanaa, because I'm not adventurous, but your food looked like something I might like. I'll have to give it a try sometime.
That was the first time I have ever ridden in the front row of a coaster (unless you count BTMRR, but I don't because of the engine in front of you). I'm not really a roller coaster kind of a girl....but I am different about Disney rides, I guess. It was AWESOME!!!! Scared the CRAP outta me!!
With food, however, i am VERY adventurous- what is it you think you wouldn't like at Sanaa?
I tried one of those on our trip, and it was good!
The BEST!!
So pretty at night!
Your Boma dinner looked good! And about the hot-tub couple...awkward...
you guys had the 2 bedroom villa right?
Looking into renting points for this October. Have an offer for an off-site condo for $500 for the week. 3 bedrooms 2 bath. I know horrible. I'm doing all in my power to stay on site, thus looking at points.
Love that Sean picked McDonalds. Looking at the photos I'm having a craving for them too. Hee-hee
I probably would have changed resorts twice to save a grand, too. But now that you've done that, me thinks it will probably be a long time until you do it again!
Anyway, I am looking forward to hearing about your HRH adventure! I haven't been to Universal in a long, long time and I would like to go again before I am too old to ride the coasters. Plus, I've heard that simpsons ride is pretty good.
Looking forward to more!
OH fantastic updates Ellen! I'm with Sean, McD's french fries are so delicious! It sounds like everyone had a great day!
OT - I started my NEW Pre-TR! Link is in my sig!
Woohoo! More great updates! I'm so glad to hear that you and Sean had such a good day at DTD! And I have to say that I'm shocked that this was your 1st time trying EOS!! Wow...it is good isn't it?! I can't wait to hear more about MK!!
Wow.....that was the mother of all updates today. Good job. I love EOS and, you're right, that line really moves. I hope I get to eat there in May cause they have some yummy sandwiches.
Sorry to see you leave Kidani so soon. Your view was beautiful.
I hear ya on the packing and unpacking. In June I had a terrible time packing up and moving from Kidani to CSR. It just seemed like everything had multiplied 10X over, plus we had food to get rid of. Then after we got home we left 4 nights later to go to Niagara Falls. I was hoping to never see another suitcase after that!
It looks like the boys had a great time golfing at Osprey Ridge. I am still blown away by how beautiful that course is.
Really looking forward to hearing about HRH and Universal.
Hey Ellen, I'm sitting here, post-Bunco, reading your post about your time at DTD with Sean. I'm SO happy that you had such a great day together. He looks really, really happy! Can't wait to read about your time in MK. It sounds like you and Pods both spent some really amazing quality time with all your boys that day.
It's always nice to hang out with one of your children. It looks like you and Sean had a wonderful afternoon!
What a great morning with Sean. Cant wait to hear about the rest of the day at MK.
EOS is hands down my favorite CS restaurant at Disney. Well probably anywhere for that matter. It's a must do every trip for us. Welcome to the EOS fanclub!
