Okay, we've reached DAY 4!!! Saturday - Only Two and a Half Days left.
Before I go any further I have to add in here that sometime during the day on Friday, I'm sure it's between the time that Kenya and I left AK and when we went to MGM, we went back to the hotel and I made the rest of our reservations. We still had three left and two days to use them - the half day didn't count. I was surprised - even though I shouldn't have been since I do get on these boards from time - that most of the places I chose were already booked. I was getting so discouraged that at one point I threw out a request for a party of 10 at Cinderella's Royal Table for 8:05am just to hear the rejection. However, we did manage to make some reservations and I was happy with them - as if I had a choice.
So now we're back to Day 4, September 8th - It's Donnie Jr.'s 29th birthday and what better place to celebrate the birthday of the only male in our group but with breakfast at
AKERSHUS!!!!
Okay, so I tried to get reservations at Chef Mickey's but it was full. Shoot me!
We had reservations for 10:05am so we were able to sleep a little later than we had been. We got to Akershus with minutes to spare so we looked around a bit. I even went to the little store that sells Lalah perfume, smelled it, check the price, got discouraged and walked out - just like I do every year. It's tradition. Who am I to kill it?
While we were waiting for our name to be called, Mary Poppins came visit. Mary is my favorite!!!!
She's a nanny who doesn't take any back talk. Just like me
Cinderella came out next and Ayeshia and Anesha went to take pictures with her.
After about a fifteen-minute wait, The Royal "Sneeze" Family was called to table. Amid the groans from my family for me using my married name and embarrassing them we got into the line to take pictures with Belle.
Here are Farrah and Jasmine and the lover of all beasts:
You notice that Farrah is wearing her LSU Tigers shirt and it is a Saturday so you know where she'll be later tonight - The ESPN Club - again.
Here we are at our banquet table.
The food was very good. I can't remember anything that really stood out in my mind, but I do remember that there weren't any complaints. Sorry, we didn't take pictures of the food. People tend to look at big people funny when they take pictures of their plates.
Oh, and guess who decided to get up and join us for breakfast this morning: Kenya and her girls!!!
Here's a picture of the girls with Sleeping Beauty:
And here's the reason why Donnie Jr. didn't complain about going to Akershus on his birthday:
and
You show me a man who can resist a gal dressed like that AND cake and I'll show you a liar!
After Akershus, we hit this ride:
This was also a first for us. And a last.
I at least knew to walk straight through the doors after the ride and bypass the video. We went into the gift shop instead.
Jasmine, Kemarr and Kia played with the Viking hats as I'm sure many, many others before them have:
Here's my first attempt at taking their picture:
Oh, excuse me ma'am. I didn't realize I was taking a picture where you were planning to walk. Do you perchance know the trees outside of room 4020 at the AKL? They tend to block shots as well.
Here's a better picture:
Here's another set of decidedly uncomfortable feet
That's it for today: next up is more Epcot and a Track that Failed the Test!

I feel so special. I almost don't want to leave work. 
I love reading trip reports and I thougt your TR was very interesting. I would love to hear the rest.
