I voted! What a clever craft!
Yay for more Animal Kingdom! The animal trails are always so fun to explore.
I am so jealous you get to go in December...you guys are definitely getting your money's worth out of your APs! If only I didn't have to cancel the Dec. trip I had planned...we could've maybe had another DIS meet. Hopefully if Emma extends her CP I'll be able to go NEXT December. Oh man, you guys are going to love it. The Christmas decorations are amazing. It will be crowded but so worth it. Are you going to be staying on property again?
Yay for a December trip! Don't you love AP's? They are the reason I got a bonus December trip last year! I'm going to miss mine, it expires on October 5. Brandon actually got an email today inviting us to the Fantasyland AP preview, and he called me at work to ask if I knew about it rotfl2 and when our AP's expire...I said they expire on the 5th, but we could always renew them...he said ok until I told him how much it was to renew! Got my hopes up there for a minute...oh well!
I love Animal Kingdom, but it is really hot there, we skipped it in May, and I'm glad we did since it was a billion degrees while we were there!
I love your pictures of the trail (or trek, whatever it's called!), we went through one of them in December (I think?) and it was cute. I like the tiger part, but I can do without the bats!
I tried reading the Kingdom Keepers books, but I just can't seem to get into the first one for some reason! I keep waiting for something to happen! Although I haven't gotten very far...it's been sitting on my shelf at work for months, I should try it again!
Okay, I'm getting all caught up, so this might be quite a post. LOL.
Wow, that's great that you had no trouble falling asleep the night before the wedding. To me, that means you weren't too nervous, which is great.
I hate false lashes, but they really do make a huge difference for photos.
Your hair looks gorgeous! I'm so so jealous of how beautiful your hair is.
You can absolutely see how joyful you guys are in those pictures. It's so great.
I do the same thing with my hands when I'm nervous! I fiddle with my rings. I can't tell you how many rings I've dropped on the ground because of my stupid habit.
Beautiful vows, absolutely beautiful.
You're not the only one who doesn't like posed shots. Natural is always best. But you still look beautiful in that one where you said your hand looks like a claw.
Chocolate cake with peanut butter sounds absolutely divine, and the cake looks awesome.
Girl, ain't no shame in having dinner with your parents on the first day you're married.
McGriddles are so bad, but oh so good.
Hahahahaha. I almost died at your "a lot of women poop in airports comment", because dude, seriously, I've thought the same thing!
Skymall is great, and I'm always fascinated by everything in it. I would totally be that person that buys something too.
MCO is one of my favorite airports. It's just so pretty and clean to me. Such a far cry from my Chicago airports.
I knew you guys were going to Chik-Fil-A! That's totally where I would have gone too.
Soda and fried food go together beautifully! Just like alcohol and Taco Bell.....
That was awesome that Joanna sold you guys DVC points.
I love AKL and I think it's great that is the resort you were able to stay at for your first time staying on property.
My Mom and I had to rush over to Kidani from Jambo house one year too. We made reservations at Sanaa, and our plane was delayed also, so we were hauling it over there in the heat.
Your hair looks so cute!
Oh, the bread service at Sanaa is to die for. I love it! Love love love.
You're so funny about the rice pilaf. That's my favorite rice. I don't know why, but I've loved it since I was little.
The thing that's great about Sanaa is that their portion sizes aren't insane like most other restaurants at Disney. Gives you the chance to really enjoy everything.
Agreed, to really appreciate AKL you have to go and see it in person.
Nothing wrong with hitting ITTBAB for your first attraction on the honeymoon. Location to food is very important.
Those mad hatter mugs are too cute!
Yay for you guys going back in December! That's awesome.
Yay! I am so glad you get to go back in december! It will be much nicer at AK. Maybe you will even have time to re-read the book! I really need to read them before I go next Oct. I haven't read any of them!

It's so funny watching the videos and hearing the screams from the EE riders, seeing people riding Kali River Rapids in the background, and then seeing the gibbons. It makes you realize how amazing Animal Kingdom really is!!
I think the trails are definitely hit or miss, but you can definitely see some amazing things there!
Hooray! We'll be there in December too! I'm buying an AP for this trip and my DFi has a 10 day non-expiration pass. We're planning on going back in September/October next year, but I'm hopeful we may get a long weekend trip between now and then... I mean, hey, it's FREE!
Love the update! I love wandering around Animal Kingdom. December is definitely the best time to be at Animal Kingdom, though. I hated when we used to go in August . We're having a welcome party breakfast at the Tamu Tamu Courtyard in Animal Kingdom and I think I'm most excited about exploring the area. Well, that and the Mickey waffles .
Can't wait to read more!
We love Animal Kingdom! It is the most thoroughly themed park.
We have been on a hiatus from the parks but are getting passes again in November. I can't wait!
We love the Maharajah Jungle Trek. The theming back there is the BEST! But I must say, it always feels 10x hotter than the rest of the park!
I really hope you are going to do a TR for December! You will LOVE the decorations!
Thanks for two more great updates Rachel. The ground pictures really cracked me up. You would not believe how much video footage we have of grass and basketball courts where I forgot to turn off the video camera at my kids games.
Congrats on the December trip. We were there last December and I am sad we will not be there this year, but I wanted to experience MNSSHP, so we will see what I like best.
Can't wait to read more
hooray for the AK update! Can't wait to see what you did next.
I have more ground pictures than I'd care to admit...
I think those trails in AK are one of the things that make that park so special... they really are evocative and if you want to pretend and squint to ignore the trash cans... you really can pretend your in an Indiana Jones film...
Are the Kingdom Keeper books good... I mean they must be good cause you're reading them... but do they add to the experience when you're visiting the parks?
Congrats on your December trip... My DH got a deal on one through our DVC points because he wanted it to get a TIW card which he got a discount on too... and I'm already thinking it would be a blooming shame to just get use out of once... I feel we might need an October trip next year to do the Halloween Party and Food and Wine...
I voted! Your memory box is great!!!
I LOVE your idea! I wish my husband liked sentimental ideas like that. I would totally make him one for our upcoming anniversary!
I voted! You're so talented!
I voted... And I'll vote again tonight when I get home from work... Good Luck!!!
I've voted a couple of times since you sent it via Facebook. Thanks for the reminder today tho!
I voted! What a clever craft!
I've been a lurker on your TRs but I had to pop in to say that you had such a creative idea! I also envy you for making time to craft while working full-time and adjusting to married life.
I looked at your blog...was great... You are very creative...
Love all paper related things...I've recently done some Paper Source workshops-love them... but when I do them I want all those cool tools...$$$ dangerous...
Recently I bought a book Outstanding mini albums 50 ideas for creating mini scrapbooks... It's very cool and good for someone like me because the projects are relatively short and there fore you get instant gratification- well maybe not quite instant-but pretty quick...
Btw... I voted for you... an they tell how many times you vote... it didn't seem so...
Ugh, sorry you haven't been feeling well! But yay for an update!
hahaha, that ride picture is actually really funny. Love it! It is more fun when you plan something different like that.
You really should try Expedition Everest on your next trip! It's a great ride.
Just found your report. First off congrats to both of you. Your wedding cake looked awesome. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip. Also I hope you get to feeling better.
How have I never seen that little shop before? Some of those tees look too funny and I think I would be so tempted to buy one. Not sure if I would end up wearing it, but I think I would get caught up in the fun of it all and buy it while I was there.
Hope you're feeling better.
So sorry to hear you've been sick. I hope you're well on your way to a full recovery!
I really can't believe how much you love Dinosaur! It is a great ride, but in every one of our ride photos my DD is in the "duck and cover" position - and the rest of us are usually laughing!
Ugh I'm so sorry to hear you've been sick! Thank goodness it happened while Howard was around and you weren't alone when you passed out.
If it weren't for the backwards part on EE, I bet you'd love it.
Hope you feel better soon!
I'm so sorry you were sick! That must have been scary for both of yall.
Your Dinosaur picture is too funny! I love it. I must admit that ride scares me!!
