Yay lots of updates!!
My comment and your response is waaayyy back so I am not gonna quote it and just say, we are so incredibly excited for our wedding and trip, it is getting so close and I am just going crazy with all little details and ordering everything else I need! I definitely want to do a TR, I just have no clue where to begin, I was thinking of doing a PTR but I don't know if I will have much time so I am gonna probably pick some ideas from all of you lovely ladies I follow when I start mine and not to highjack your thread but I had a question for you about BLT, I hope you don't mind I remember you talking about a thread or site that suggested what floor or rooms to request to get the best TPV there, I was wondering if you remembered by any chance?
I would love to hear all about your wedding trip even if you want to just do a quick summary of the trip... that's the beauty, it's all up to you!!
Here's the thread that is on the DVC board:
I am definitely in love with AKL, the whole resort is just beautiful, the details are amazing. I can definitely understand how you and Em got caught up watching the animals. Boma looks wonderful!! We have a breakfast ADR there and I cannot wait!
Yak & Yeti also looks great, (we are eating there too lol) WONTONS! Yum!! EE is so fun, I am glad you escaped the rain, I also feel the way you do, I only like to get wet by my own choice
Love the Dinosaur photo and Em's Ariel shirt is super cute!!
Alright think I covered it all!! Can't wait for the Yatch Club check in update!!!! :
Hi Nicole! I hope you love your Boma breakfast. It really is a beautiful place.
Yay for eating at Y&Y - I hope you like it too.
See you understand the getting wet thing - I want to be in control of when/where!
Wow you were busy today updating!!
You and Em are so cute! You always dress the cutest, I look like a slob at the parks! haha!
I love your ride pic, its funny!
Rachel, I completely disagree with you looking like a slob!! You have such cute Disney T's in your photos! Plus you are just so darn cute anyway.
I have so enjoyed catching up on your adventures this Sunday morning and next will be off to check out the dining report. Some random comments...
How weird is that airline rule about photos for personal use only? Is it a safety thing? That they don't want published photos available for "study?"
Scary huh?
What an awesome flight crew you had! And thank you for your son's - and your family's- service.
Awww, thank you. I just spoke with my son today so I'm a happy mom!
The wrong bus?!? Absolutely love the shot you took of the boy looking out at the welcome sign. I bet he had a magical trip.
Thanks for mentioning that Stacy has updated her spiel with New Fantasyland. It is so weird but we pretty much watch Stacy nonstop while in the room.
Not weird at all!! My DH doesn't get it. He has no idea why we would be tuned into watching her when there are "regular channels."
So glad you enjoyed AKL! Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures.
Thanks! I think our plan to stay at AKL worked to our advantage so we were able to dine at a new restaurant and make sure we had AK park time.
Shew! I thought I had fallen WAY behind, but you are being slow- which totally works to my advantage!!!!
I MISS AK!!! And you have just about convinced me to stay at AKL. But not the next trip I want Catie to really enjoy that resort. I LOVE that you dragged your feet. I swear, one day I want to just go to Disney and tour all the resorts. I think that is probably one of the biggest things I miss out on each trip. I want to spend time exploring the resorts and seeing what they have to offer!
And for the love of all things Disney- I WILL watch a Bug's Life on my next trip! That's right. I have never seen it! Can you believe it??? I know, I know
Yes Christen - you have to try AKL some day. I think the girls would enjoy it.
It is so hard to build in "down-time" since you figure you've paid to see the parks therefore obligated. Argh!
Yes, take the 15 minutes next time and watch Its tough to be a bug! It can be scary for kids so not sure Catie or Cortlyn would enjoy it. Definitely cute though.
You guys really seem to have enjoyed AKL. I know we'll need to stay there eventually; it looks so beautiful. Plus Boma breakfast looks delicious! I'm really curious to see what kind of rooms you guys get next. The suspense is getting to me .
Hi there OranageJuice! Thanks for reading. I noticed that you will be at BCV this fall - how awesome. I love that area.
Yes, Boma was great - so many wonderful choices.
I will be posting about our room next.... stand by.
I sure do have a little gold pass like that!! Sadly it's expired now and I'm not sure if I'm going to get another AP or not!
Yay for lots of updates, gotta love AK, glad you avoided the rain! I also LOVE yak and yeti, those won tons! To DIE FOR!!
hi katt! The only reason we have the gold pass is because we live by D-land and try to go to WDW at least twice a year. Otherwise... it wouldn't be for us. Even an AP is awesome since you go so often.
YES, those won tons are amazing!!
What a cliffhanger to leave us on!!!
Great day, the food in Yak and Yeti really looks yummy. I really want to try there but it didn't make our ADR list as we didn't think we'd be in AK around a meal time. Maybe next time!
Really good photos of the animals and savannah's too.
Hi Lisa!! Ha ha! yes, I had to take a break somewhere... seemed like a good place!
It took us several trips before we made it to Y&Y and longer still before we made it to AKL to stay. My only obstacles to trying all the resorts and dining is time and $.
Ha, I love the look on Em's face with the wonton dessert from Yak & Yeti. That dessert is so good, it's totally worth going there for just that. Your creeper picture of the lady's shorts/legs made me laugh, and the blue skirt you wore to AK was super cute.

Hi Juanita! Em certainly was enjoying the won ton in that photo!
Sometimes women just notice how perfect other womena are - and secretly hate them! Thanks, that skirt came from Forever21.
It was a crazy week and I have another busy one coming up, but I got all caught up!!!
I enjoyed seeing the pictures of DL. My one and only visit there was as a sophomore in high school, so it has been a couple of years since that trip. I don't remember nearly as much as I want to from that trip.
Oh, you young pup! I have that problem for so many things that I wish I remembered better.
Enjoyed reading the review of the meal at Jiko and seeing both of your awesome food pictures! Meal looked spectacular.
Thanks!
The theming of AKL and AKV is just so incredible! Like you pointed out, the details are simply amazing!
Boma is my favorite Disney restaurant (dinner). I loved hearing about your breakfast there. Ben and I dined there for breakfast once and really enjoyed it, but it is tough for us to get there in the mornings since we hit the parks first thing. The restaurant not crowded during our meal and our waiter was begging us to let him bring something to us. Ben asked for some bacon, and the waiter brought a heaping plateful.
I completely understand about timing for breakfast... we've cancelled several Boma breakfasts because we are the opposite... we don't get moving early. Due to my family of course, not me!
Glad you were able to make it to AK for a little bit.
I love the color of Em's shorts!
yes, blush pink - shorts courtesy of Forever21!
Bummer about your photopass pictures. Did you try to contact photopass support to see if they could find your pictures? They lost our photos in front of the guitar at RnR, the only time I have seen a photographer in that location, but they weren't able to locate them
Oh, I never thought about that! You have good advice.
Your Yak & Yeti lunch looked great. Fantastic choices!
It was AWESOME!
about your Dinosaur picture.
I am eagerly awaiting your next update!
Dee for my next update, please feel free to use any of the photos or if you want me to send them direct to you if easier just let me know. I think I have room in my PM box - not sure if you do.
