I am sorry that you missed out on the Fast Passes and Toy Story Mania.

Oh Pam.....such a bummer on just missing the last FPs for TSM. Between R's smoke breaks and waiting for the luggage....ugh....

On the bright side - your pictures turned out really well. Keep 'em coming. I love your room. The studio is so cute. It looks really spacious.

I came back home thinking I'd failed in the picture department but I ended up taking about a 1,000. So lots more to come

I just couldn't believe our luck that there were still more available and then to lose out on them just annoyed me. Everything worked out in the end though.

I know, it was a fabulous, 'if he hadn't done this and this we could have done this' day.

Thanks so much

lots more to come. This studio actually was a little smaller than the one we had in March. The last one was wider. But still plenty of room for the two of us. I don't feel a need for more space at all. I'm sure the OKW studio is going to feel humongous!

You got some great photos!

I can see where it would really get old if you had to stand around and watch him smoke. It's different if he goes off while you are doing something like shopping or finishing your meal, but if everyone has to stand around watching him, that can get old REAL fast!

Great photos and updates.

Waiting for someone to take a cigarette break gets old really quick.

We're staying at a deluxe studio - savanna view in October.

We rented points from Brandi.

Thanks so much, I'm just so glad I didn't delete them. I especially love the second one I posted.

It is such a fabulous resort. I can't wait to see how you feel about it

I hope I don't miss it too much in December.

I completely forgot that you're not staying at AKV in December! Why is that? I think you told me but I forgot.

It really did, I started leaving him behind that afternoon. I was so annoyed that he had to stop so much. I didn't travel to FL to stand around and wait for him, there were rides to ride!!!

Hi Kathy! How are you feeling?

Thank you

It really did. And it seemed that I was the only one who was bothered by it. He was wasting precious Disney time.

That'll be wonderful

I really did miss the savannah view. Your trip is coming up soon!

I don't think I said why before. I'm forcing myself to try other resorts. I'm really hoping I don't miss AKV too much. I could probably stay there every trip I love it so much, but I do want to see the others as well.

I can't wait for the cruise! Can I ask what you decided the travel insurance?

You have an amazing memory! We're not going to go with Disney. We have a separate annual policy that will cover most of the same stuff, as it turns out.

Now keep up with these great posts. We have stayed at Kidani and Jambo (once each) and I have a very soft spot in my heart for that resort.

I must say I'm also getting a bit of a kick out of your accounts of travelling with family, since the trip we had just the week before you arrived involved DD and her BFF. BFF turned out to be quite the little diva with a hefty truckload of attitude. Ah well. Even DD found it tiresome, which meant that she and I had a good time in spite of it all. Disney lets you do that.
