Hello. My name is Amy, and I...am a lurker.
 Just had to chime in first of all to say that I really enjoy your trip reports. They are so well written and you have a wonderful sense of humor.  Second of all, congrats on your engagement! That is happy news, INDEED!  Lastly, my husband and I were at Epcot exactly one week ago and I am very pleased to tell you that the Boulangerie/Patisserie was open and yes...I had a Napoleon. It was a first for me and it was delish! P.S. I look forward to more updates!

Congratulations on your engagement...
Hi and I guess I'm saying bye to at the same time since I guess you'll be starting a new TR for your October trip? I'm nursing a nasty cold and stayed home from a multigenerational family dinner and I decided to read a new TR and being ambitious I chose on yours... (love the title and Big Phineas and Ferb fan...  At first I was going to read everypage-I like all the back and forth banter in addition to the trip report...and I got to page 10 and I decided if I didn't want to be reading for a couple days... I should use your well and kindly provided links... (I am glad I read the first 10 pages straight because it reminded me that I have a season of Community to catch up on--- so that's going on my Netflix list... anyhow I really enjoyed your TR and lots happened so lets see what I got... -I miss Jeremy Irons voice in Spaceship Earth too... -AKL is a really nice place to stay (from experience) it's incredibly relaxing and kind of romantic-you should stay there sometime... -The Crystal Palace is so pretty (from photos) sadly I've never eaten there... strangely the size of that Piglet freaks me out a little...I'm weird I know -Loved all your great HM pictures... I haven't been on it since all the new queuing ... can't wait to go on it... favorite ride at MK -TSM-I like it but I don't understand the "I'm willing to run over every man, woman and child I need to get to it" madness... It's a cute ride... but not worth the fuss it creates... -Am I the only one who has never gotten the Cowboy side of the GMR? I'm going ask next time... -Loved your review of Citricos... never been have to get there now... -Haven't done FOTLK in forever ... have to go back... -I need one of those carrot cake cookies... -Bistro de Paris...looked awesome... food looks much more elegant than Chefs de France... -That was a really cute idea about having the Princesses at Akerhus -Liked your Margarita photos... Need one of those... -I completely agree with you on the Poly- it is a lovely, lovely resort... when we stayed there I felt the same way though ... It wasn't "me" it wasn't my Disney "home"... -Yummy breakfasts at Kona though... -Artists Point review also excellent... -Glad you got your Beaker hat... -I hope Kouzzina is good when we go at the end of November... I had read really good stuff about it... -Your engagement ring is absolutely lovely...Love that 1920s style... WOW an engagement, a Disney Wedding and a Disneymoon ... Now that's a lot of celebrating.... I'll bet your Wedding and Disneymoon Reports will be fabulous...

Thank you!! Yes, there will be a new TR after this upcoming trip, of course! I hope you’re feeling better soon!! Yes, we LOVE Community, but I’ve never seen it on our Netflix! I just got the latest season for DF on DVD for his birthday. Quote:
It really does seem like such a wonderful place to stay! We did very briefly consider it for our upcoming trip, it’s just too far from everything for us! Quote:
The new queue is AWESOME, you have to check it out!! The new features they added are really clever! I just don’t get the fuss!! It’s just an arcade game with some spinning. Can’t you accomplish pretty much the same thing at home with a video game and a rolling chair? We had never gotten it until I had asked either! It seems to only run during busier times of the day. Quote:
Is it true that FOTLK is going away soon??? That would be a shame if it did! It’s such a fantastic show! It was a really elegant restaurant – I’m not sure what the refurbishment will bring though! I still think about that wonderful buttery soup...haha. Yeah, it was good for us to go in there with some sort of extra “reason”! There were adults there, and I know it’s not just for kids, but the number of parties with children DEFINITELY outnumbered us! I cannot WAIT for another margarita!! Quote:
We LOVED Artist Point! The restaurant is gorgeous, and the food was really good! Hahaha so was I! Too bad it’ll be too warm to bring it on this trip! Are you going for breakfast or dinner? We’ve had good experiences with both there! Quote:

Our trip is getting closer..and closer..
With our trip now officially rapidly approaching, the wedding-related notes that I’ve been taking are quickly piling up. Things to remember to do and note down and ask, all on sticky notes of various sizes and locations. (I should probably compile these before we go, right?)
We did have a day of number-crunching Disney math relating to our trip a few days ago!  With the wedding, we also get Annual Passes from Disney. Which I knew about, but for some reason, thought that you didn’t get them until the wedding. Turns out that you are able to get them earlier in the process than I had thought, which meant that we could start using them during our planning trip. Hence, the flurry of Disney math, attempting to figure out what the best ticket route would be for us. We eventually landed on switching to 2-day base tickets to be able to keep the free dining promotion, and then activating the AP’s for the rest of the trip. This saved us a bit of money (yay!), AND we are now able to use get one of those magical mystical TIW cards that I’ve heard so much about! (Any hints or tips on these would be VERY appreciated!) I’ve been getting excited for all of the fun Disney treats we want to try this time around, cupcakes and Napoleons and F&W treats (oh my!). For now, I have a snack that one of my coworkers brought back from her recent WDW trip for me:  (I didn’t take a picture once unwrapped - clearly, I am out of Dis food reporting practice! - but it’s breakable into 3 separate squares, a Mickey on each. ) The other day I realized that we may want to actually have SOMEWHAT of an idea of where things (read: beignets) are at POFQ, so I took a glance at a map, which was MUCH less intimidating than the one of the Polynesian. I’ve read that the resort is fairly small, and this seems to be true, only a few buildings that appear to be clustered in relatively close proximity to each other. Because of this, I don’t think that there’s going to be much in terms of a room request that I’ll make (although I still will do online check-in because I dislike lines and it gives me a good excuse to click around the Disney site), unless any of you POFQ fans have a suggestion! Also, I’m beginning to feel like Jen (Nermel) with her Le Cellier ADR’s…I just made a second ADR at Crystal Palace! When I made it, I pretty much had no intention of keeping the other one, but now I’m not so sure. Twice the Puffed French Toast does sound pretty tempting, but if we keep both, then we would pass up a breakfast at Boma, which we also love. And we would be going to Crystal Palace for breakfast literally 2 days in a row. Decisions, decisions…

I do not remember the actual building numbers at POFQ but Denny and I stayed one night in a corner room on the top floor of a building overlooking the river. It would have been the farthest building from POR. I absolutely LOVED this view of the river and because the resort is so small, it took very little time to walk anywhere. The only bad thing was we were only staying one night.
I am a big fan of CP breakfast, so no complaints here on back to back ADRs.

Oh - if you have free dining for this trip then why don't you wait to get TIW. You can start it anytime with your AP and its good for a year whether your AP is still active or not. I guess it all depends on how your trips stack up for the next year.

I had so many good meals that I was always too full for a snack!
). Those luggage tags are cute. I guess we lowly DVC members don't score those. Boo!
I have no idea if the French bakery is open, I hope you can get your beloved Napolean! I really need to try something from there someday!
