I can't wait to see your pics of AK!!! I was a CM for the past yr 1/2 and seeing the Villas for a CM preview was one of the last things I did before I moved to OH. It's going to make me super disney homesick but I can't wait to see what they are like fully finished!!!!

Glad to have you with us.
I wish I could have taken the tree houses but they would not let us since they were not all finished and sadly I left before a preview of Bay Lake but I still get on our CM site from time to time so I'm hoping they will have a preview of some sort on there!!!
. They do tack on 18% gratuity with it, but that's no big deal, that's basically what we do anyway. You just have to watch that you don't double-tip. It will cover 8 or 10 people (I forget exactly) per meal (all on one bill) so you probably only have to buy one for your party/family. It doesn't apply on major holidays, so we couldn't use it on July 4th. It's good for a year. You just have to do the math to determine if it's worth it, considering that you may have other discounts already (annual passholder, DVC, etc.).
as well as pack our luggage, pack what we needed for the parks, and pack swimsuits and things wed need at Kidani as we expected to get there before our luggage did. I wanted to call bell services as soon as possible because I was afraid that they might take a while to send someone to our room, and I wanted to make rope drop at MK. But, I didnt want to call before our luggage was at least close to ready, in case they showed up right away. We got ready and bell services showed up just a few minutes after I called. We loaded the bellman down with our luggage, and strapped-on the rest of our gear and headed for the bus stop at the back of the resort. We found the bus stop and a bus showed up within a minute. We were doing great for time! We piled onto the bus and started out. I exhaled a sigh of relief to be sitting down and on our way, and half-joked to my wife, you do have your and the girls park passes, of course, dont you? There was a long pause as she just stared at me. I could tell she was going through in her mind, trying to remember where she had put them. She opened her purse and frantically started going through it and through her wallet. No, theyre not here! I must have packed them in my suitcase somewhere! So I went up to the bus driver and asked if he could let us out I didnt want to have to go all the way to MK and back, and I didnt want our luggage to leave POR before we had a chance to get into it. He said he still had to go to the stop at the front of the resort, so he could drop us off at bell services on the way. We got to bell services, found our baggage claim ticket, and DW started going through her suitcase. She was really in a panic 
, and the girls were upset that their tickets were lost 
. I was standing outside of bell services, trying to stay out of the way, and realized that somehow I ended up holding her wallet. So I thought I might was well do something useful and take a second look through it
.and voila, there they were right behind her drivers license. Now I must interject that we are like 99% of the rest of the population I imagine, in that I, as a male, can never find anything and need my wife to come and point out the item Im looking for, which is usually about 6 inches from my face. But this time, in her panic, she just could not see those passes in her wallet. Anyway, relieved, she packed her suitcase back up and we went over to the bus stop at the front of the resort. DW suggested that I hold all of the park passes from now on -- I was going to be the fastpass volunteer anyway, so the only time theyd need them would be when they went through the turnstiles. That sounded like a plan, and was the system we used for the rest of the trip.
This threw a wrench into my plans because I was not planning on heading into Tomorrowland, but instead going to Adventureland and then to BTMRR when our fastpass time arrived. And for Tomorrowland Speedway, you want to get there soon after the park opens as the lines can get real long real fast. So, we changed plans and went there next.
He was really going back and forth, hitting the rail and overcompensating until he hit it again from the other side. I looked ahead and Marlene was doing the same thing. After a little while he had me take the wheel.
We thought it was from some teenagers, but I think Ive read on here that it may be the CMs. I dont know, but that did James in. There was no way he was going on the doom buggies. When we left the Stretching Room a CM directed Judy and James to an exit door that is right there when you leave. Who knew? It must happen a lot.
another thrill ride without making too much of a deal out of it. They loved it, though! 
Makes me happy to know my family is somewhat normal!
