February 11- Day One
I hardly slept because I was stressing leaving something home. I had shipped almost everything down ahead of time. We were staying DVC so they had scattered availability due to President's Week. This meant we were moving around A LOT! This made for a lot of confusion but luckily everything turned out ok. We watched a movie on the plane to take my mind off of everything, which made the flight go by faster. We checked in at the Animal Kindgdom Lodge, it is our home resort and we have never stayed there. It is a beautiful resort with a view of the savannah and the animals!
our room (sorry it's only the bed lol. We were in a rush to get to DHS)
This is basically what we woke up to every morning. It was amazing! I have lots of other pics of the animals but I don't want to bore you so much.
We had lunch and then headed over to Hollywood Studios, where DH had me ride ToT until I refused to go on it again and then we did RnRC (my fave at DHS). We had a 7:00 dinner reservation at 50's Prime Time Cafe but we didn't want to wait that long, so we got on a bus to DTD to do our shopping and eat dinner there. We decided to try out T-Rex. The restaraunt was really cool. Food was good.

We then did some shopping. DH wanted me to pick out a nice piece of jewelry there as my wedding present but I didn't see anything I really liked all that much. We got our bride and groom ears and the pink glass slipper that we used as our cake topper. At around 7:00 we were shot and decided to come back to the room and relax. We came in and unpacked and I noticed Wishes was starting . It's our favorite show and we got engaged on a wishes cruise last May. We could see it so clearly from our room. I think tinkerbell was trying to give us some pixie dust for the first night of our romantic vacation. We watched together out on the balcony.
Day 2 February 12- Universal Studios
With all the American Idols at the Studios we decided to stay away from Disney and plan a day at Universal. I haven't been there in years and DH had never been so we thought it would be fun to plan a few days over there. We started out our day EARLY!!! The shuttle came and picked us up and took us over to Universal Studios. We had a blast! We took some really fun pictures with Woody Woodpecker, Shaggy and Scooby Doo, Bart Simpson, Curios George and the man in the yellow hat, Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey and Spongebob! We also rode some great attractions. Our favorites were The Curse of the Mummy, The Incredible Hulk coaster, Dueling Dragons and Shrek 4D. It was an exhausting day. Here are some fun pics we took over at US.
Bart Simpson
Groovy Mystery Machine
Shaggy and Scooby Doo
Woody Woodpecker
Terminator
Curious George (my fave as a child)
Spongebob
Fiona and Donkey (Donkey called DH whipped) and Shrek
and this is DH in Jurassic Park
We left Universal at 4:15 and went back to AKL to rest for half an hour and then got changed, grabbed a quick bite at the hotel and went to the WL for our Wishes Cruise. It was very romantic. It reminded us both of the night we got engaged, very magical. Then we came back to the room and Frank passed out again. I am sensing a pattern. We went back to Universal the following week to catch all the stuff we missed.
My family was coming down the next day and it had been an early day so we turned in early and got some rest.
