Wow, what a trip! I also did a one-week-in-advance trip around the same time as you! Not pregnant or with kids, though! Congrats on pulling it off - it looks like you had a great time. :jumping1:

Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom! I’d booked a LL for Expedition Everest when LL first became bookable at 7am (mostly to make sure it was working!), with a return window between 8 and 9 am, which was when I figured we’d first be getting to Animal Kingdom. An LL for Everest was completely...

Following on! We were at AKL shortly after you. :simba: Looking forward to hearing how the rest of your vegetarian dining goes!

Haha, yes! Let's rebrand ILL. :) The mapping thing I used is this: http://legacy.usatf.org/routes/map/newMap.aspx - but there are probably better apps out there. I just drew it out and took a screenshot - very low tech! The food in Universal was definitely underwhelming. Makes me...

Day 1 (still): Animal Kingdom Lodge Now on to Disney! I’d booked our one-night stay at AKL with a pool-view room. We parked and headed in to check in around 6pm. The CM at the Jambo House concierge was fantastic. I wasn’t sure how room keys/park passes worked anymore (it was all Magicbands when...

Day 1: Islands of Adventure After enjoying the Simpsons, we were headed over to IoA (the long way, since the Hogwarts Express was still down). One walk later, we were entering IoA and appreciating the ambiance of the entrance area. We stopped for a double espresso (for Nick) and an almond...

Day 1: Universal & IOA I am NOT a Universal person (and will get through the Universal portions of this TR quickly!). I’ve generally always treated Universal with the proper disdain of a Disney parks enthusiast. We went once when I was 6-ish, and what I remember is: being afraid of the queue...

Planning The obligatory planning post. :) Our planning for this trip was minimal enough to make most of the DIS make tsking noises. Most of our focus on this Florida trip was on house renovations, and I kept not getting a chance to sit down and figure out the new Disney systems, but I was...

(Hm... apparently I am not wise in the ways of posting images to the DIS... edited to add!)

Hi there! This is a quick, last-minute trip, with a lot packed in. I'm a long-time DIS-lurker, but haven't been to Disney in a while or really posted much before. We finally made a quick trip to cram in everything we've missed! The background: My husband and I were in Florida (down from...

Excellent, drinking round the world! That is definitely on my Disney to-do list so I'm interested to see what you picked. :drinking1 I am also a fan of grapefruit beer! My local liquor store stocks Schofferhofer in the summer, so there is hope for wider availability. :)

Hi Becky! I have not been on the DIS since before your wedding, but maybe you remember me from your PJ. I just caught up - read all your TRs and DTRs - sounds like you had a great 2013!! Congrats on your (not so new now) job! Sounds like you're doing what you love. :) Looking forward...

Oooh, does that mean Muppets are close? I'll piggyback an answer and guess... Statler and Waldorf? No, you mentioned them, too obvious... I'm going to go with Fozzie, because you're such a bunch of goof balls. :rotfl:

Great sunset pics! The ship in some of your pictures (the schooner, not the catamaran) is the Wolf, I think. You should definitely consider a sunset cruise if you go back, they're awesome and you could meet my dad! :rotfl: He plays music on one of them. It looks like you had a great time...

I only left when I went to college, and my parents still live there, which makes for nice vacations! :thumbsup2 I don't know about being swept off my feet, but all my college friends always wanted to visit my parents with me! :laughing:

Great pics! I'm so glad someone directed you to Fort Zach- it's definitely the best beach on the island, and they were right, tourists don't necessarily find it. :thumbsup2 Don't quite know how to respond to the "what was it like" question. To me it was just normal because that was where...

Great TR! I will de-lurk as requested so as not to seem creepy. I love the shots from the drive down the keys! It's making me homesick- I grew up in Key West. Definitely a long drive through Florida, but the trip down the keys makes it all worth it! Great shots of Coco Plum, too. I've...
