I'm curious about this too since we'll be there in January!

I got the AKL and that's where we're staying on our upcoming trip. Looks like it's meant to be! :)

We are still trying to decide if we are going to do a last minute surprise or make it a Christmas morning surprise for our trip in January. It's a big decision, but a fun one!

4 people: 2 adults, 2 kids $2100 DVC rental 10 nights @ AKL savanna room $1400 six days park tickets for 4 people (no hopper) $200 gas roundtrip from Houston, TX $50 road trip food $150 memory maker $800 food budget $300 souvenirs $120 BBB (unless 1 kid opts out, then it will be less) $275 10...

I'm not sure about the drinks specific to AKL, but we have metal straws that we use daily. I recommend them! They're great.

That's amazing. Thanks for those pictures!!! Club level sounds amazing! We are renting DVC points so we are going to be on the 5th floor. It makes me wonder if we should try to switch to Kidani to try to get a lower floor closer to the animals! Decisions, decisions.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this! We booked a savanna room and I keep doubting the expense. We will be surprising our two animal obsessed children with the trip at Christmas and I just can't help but to think it will be so worth it. You put my mind at ease. Are you happy with your room or is there...

Thanks for this. It was so helpful!

It's getting increasingly more difficult, but we make it on a food budget of $300 a month. We're a family of four: husband, wife and two elementary aged kids in Texas. We're predominantly vegan (though we will eat vegetarian at restaurants) and I'm gluten free. I do a lot of shopping at Aldi...

I think most of them at Trader Sam's come with the souvenir glass at that price, but you can also get it for a less than that without the glass. I've seen pictures of the menus, but didn't notice prices listed. We're hoping to make it there when we go too!!

My family is vegetarian. I try to be vegan, but am usually vegetarian too. haha :P I copy/pasted some QS info from our dining plans. We are mostly doing TS at DHS so I don't really have much CS ideas there. Magic Kingdom Starbucks Columbia Harbor House (one of our favs) - chili, fries...

It's been quite a while since I posted on here, but we're planning a Disney 2018 trip so I'm trying to get back in the game! We have been sick this week so we haven't been too organized about meals, but I'm hoping to buy groceries this weekend and then get super organized about meal planning...

Oops it's been a long while since I posted here and we REALLY need to budget motivation!! Monday: "chicken fried" tofu, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn casserole, green beans Tuesday: yellow split pea lettuce wraps, leftover green beans Wednesday: caldo verde, tortillas Thursday: pizza and salad...

I did that exact same cruise. Triumph for 4 days with Cozumel being our port. Honestly, it wasn't the best cruise. I did feel like it was a party atmosphere and I think I just prefer a larger ship. Now, that didn't keep me from cruising again and I'd cruise on her again if the price were right...

Oops forgot to post on Monday! Monday: breaded baked tofu, mashed potatoes, roasted broccoli Tuesday: black bean oat burgers on homemade buns, sweet potato wedges, green beans almondine Wednesday: slow cooker veggie korma, quinoa Thursday: nachos - blue corn chips, cashew queso, black beans...

Pizza might be perfect, actually! I have a roasted garlic coconut milk w/ sun-dried tomatoes recipe that we like a lot. It's creamy kind of like an alfredo pizza. I'll have to see if we have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand. I like to top it w/ pine nuts, but that is not in the budget right now so...

Steal away @Glittercat! :-) I already changed my meal plan. haha Last night we were supposed to have mashed potatoes and red wine gravy, but I ended up just boiling some whole organic red potatoes and giving them a quick smash. Then I mixed it with some fresh diced tomato, green onions...

Okay, plans for this week... Monday: We stood in line for over 2 hours for a grand opening of a new tex-mex place. LOL Free dinner and super yummy. Worth the hype! :-) Tuesday: tofu nuggets, steamed green beans, mashed potatoes & red wine gravy Wednesday: marinated portobello mushrooms...

Do you have recipes for both of the stuffed squash meals? They sound great! We don't eat enough squash around here.
