Breakfast was excellent as always, glad we got in Wish we had more time in the room to enjoy the view but we were out the door at 7am every morning and crashing late at night. I think Des had that shirt for a while...she goes to WDW alot.
Next year, we have got to meet up next year!
BOMA BOMA BOMA!
Yes!! We are going to get a walk up on this trip! We showered and checked out of the hotel and drove right over to the AKL.
The tree at AKL is beautiful, and I was drooling looking at your breakfast pictures.
After a wonderful filling meal, with amazing coffee by the way, we hopped in the car to drive to DTD...believe it or not the parking lot was filling up! Come on Todd we have some shopping to do!
Great picture!
I was able to pick up a few things for my youngest niece and we had some fun just checking out the area and of course snacking!
Goofy's Candy Shop
I'll take one of each please.
No trip is complete without a pretzel! This one is a sour cream and onion...he loved it!
Great view.
So glad we got to see the decorations here.
At this time Kathy text me to tell me to get on over to the CSR so we could surprise Mark and let me tell you he was bowled over!
My phone was going to die after all the texting we were doing from the moment we landed.
Here is the tree at the CSR
Once we did our suprise to Mark and hugs and kisses all around we went back to the Dolphin to relax while Kathy and family did the same. The plan was to meet up in the lobby of the Dolphin so we could tour the resorts and have dinner at Beaches and Cream
For those of you who aren't following my PTR or my TR which hasn't started yet, here's the video of my husband seeing Nicki...not only did he not know about the trip until the night we packed, he did not know Nicki and Todd were coming until they showed up:
Des had the cheeseburger and I am guessing she liked it because she was very quiet during that meal
Yes, we was quiet during the meal...but then we didn't really let her get in a word either.
Todd and Mark both had the open faced pot roast sandwich and they said it was very tasty, a bit too much potato but overall a winner
Fantastic meal at Beaches and Cream, would not hesitate to go back!
Of course and it was the BESTEST trip ever...we must do this every year!
We've had some wonderful and memorable trips, but this one was definitely the tops for us.
So happy you are in for the trip of a lifetime! 6 months of keeping it a secret was a killer!
we don't spend too much time in our room either will have to have Kathy ask Des when/where she got it, never seen it in the parks
I'm here !! Loving your reviews so far !! Looking forward to seeing what Kathy has to add as well. Love seeing that her son and his GF came along. I have been looking to see if she was going to start a TR, but so far she hasn't. I feel sure that she will though.
Thanks Nicki! I loved Kathy's last TR and followed Mark's surprise all along so hearing about it from both TRs rocks!!! I love the DTD pics..esp. those treats YUMMY!!!Aw you are so sweet!
I am here and following along! I can't wait to see all of the wonderful food you guys ate
Hi Nicki, Happy to see you started your report!! It was so great you and Todd were able to be there for Marks special trip. Seems you all got a lot done that first day. Already makes me want to get back to Disney next year at Christmas!! Elaine
