Great update, Michelle.
Love your afternoon at AK--I really love that park. How was your meal at Yak & Yeti? I've read some really bad reviews lately, but really want to go back becasue we so thoroughly enjoyed in four years ago.
The photopass pictures are great (Jared is just so darn cute).
The photos around the Beach Club are wonderful (that is my dream resort to try). Love the hidden mickeys in the carpet.
We enjoyed Yak & Yeti, the appy and dessert are worth going for all on their own, but my entree was good and while Jared said he had had better bourbon chicken, he still liked it and cleaned his plate!
Thanks, I think Jared is pretty cute myself, but I'm biased
Loving your trip report so far! The Beach Club is gorgeous and yall had an awesome view! That stinks that balcony wasn't huge, but who cares when you're in Disney, right?
Those fried green beans at Yak & Yeti look delicious! Tell Jared that I like his picture of the chocolate cake!
Thank you! We didn't spend a ton of time in the room anyway, so the tiny balcony really wasn't that big of a deal
They were delicious! The green beans tasted fresh and the batter was very light, I could have just eaten those and the wontons and been a happy camper!
Other than being off center, Jared's picture of the cake wasn't terrible, he some later in the week that left a lot to be desired. I'm afraid I deleted them all though and I wish I hadn't - would have been funny to share with you all!
What a great way to start my Friday - Animal Kingdom and Beach Club!
I am hoping to get into Yak & Yeti as a walk-up at some point during the March trip. I think my friend, Kay, will like it, and Jill doesn't really care anything about that restaurant, so I wouldn't be 'cheating' on her by doing something new without her. I want to try the green beans and cream cheese wontons I have heard so much about, but I am undecided about the entree. I am a grazer and not a big meal eater, so those two things alone would be enough for a meal, I think.
I'm with your mom on Everest. I felt like I took a beating, too. I do want to go through the regular queue sometime to get pictures. When I rode, I did FP and walked on with no pictures.
Thanks for the nice update!
I would bet you could get in Y&Y as a walk up. They were not very busy when we went. The green beans & the wontons probably would've been enough for me if I hadn't shared them
I wanted to get some pictures of the Everest queue this time, but when we went through the regular line on our next time at AK there was never a wait and Jared wouldn't let me stop for photos
Great update. That's a nice afternoon at AK and the PP pictures are fantastic.
Your meal at Yak and Yeti looks delicious.
But that is a "bum-mer" about the whistling toilet. That would have annoyed the ...er....well....that brown stuff....out of me!
(And you can tell Jared that I appreciated the Dung doo-doo poster!!
)
AK was a nice way to start the trip, just a few hours to get that Disney fix but since they close early there wasn't the pull to stay late so we were able to get back to the resort at a good time, unpack and get a good night's sleep before hitting the parks hard the next day!
The toilet was very irritating! We told them about it before we checked out, I sure hope it was something that could be fixed before the next guest arrived and had to deal with it too.
What great pictures of the meerkats! We didn't see them, they stayed hidden. We did get to see a great deal of the gorillas!
I like the hall rug, anything beachy gets my attention!
We saw the meerkats on both our trips to AK this time, and thankfully were able to see the gorillas later in the week.
I like 'beachy' things too, just makes me feel like I'm on vacation
Good for bus mojo. BC can be hit or miss that way.
A nice quick dip into AK for a nice afternoon and dinner.
Yak & Yeti still on the list for next time.
I had read some bad things about the BC bus service, but I have to say, we had the best service of any trip I've ever taken.
Yep, a quick stop just for a meal a little Disney fix, it was perfect for our first day
Funny how no matter how many trips we take, we still have that list for 'next time'. My brother just went to Disney for his first trip and he told me that he was on a mission to see it all in one week, I just laughed at him! He called me yesterday when they were on their way home and told me he was pretty sure that they only scratched the surface....
Lucky girl for getting a trip again in December-even if it is a working trip!
), but it's been a nice break from medicine after 12 years. I miss patient care and co-workers, I don't miss the health care systems, regulations, administrators, etc. Have your son spend lots of time shadowing PT's to get a real idea of what it is about. You basically get a pre-med degree before grad school that requires strong grades in the sciences. Let me know if you have any other questions, if you were closer I could help with the shadowing, but that's not going to work!
Yay for AoA. Can't wait to see your pictures. You are going to have so much fun!!!
I am hoping it went great.Glad you were able to switch and get what you wanted.
