A Very Lurkyloo Christmas is FINISHED! New 3/16: Last Day of the Trip!

[mla1977]

Definitely! And the walk totally burns off any calories you consume at the bakery. No, really....

I'm thinking the half marathon the day before will be the premptive strike on the calories.

Ooh! If you get a cake, I hope you'll post a pic of it here. Wait... that would mean I would still be writing my TR in October... OK, how 'bout you PM me a pic? And I really think you'll enjoy BoardWalk Inn. I am the type of person who doesn't mind paying for a nice hotel room because it's more than just a place to sleep for me. Of course, I still always gotta work the very best deal...

I will PM you a pic. I go back and forth between the cake here to something more custom, but not sure what . I always look for a deal too, we got a 40% off the room code .

Oh wow! Congrats on entering the half marathon - what an accomplishment that will be!

That's fabulous! Maybe with the savings, you can get a totally over-the-top custom anniversary cake.

Another great update, Carrie! They're never boring. Everest looks amazing at night. Who knows when I'll be back to WDW (points down at new ticker) but when I do, I'm going to Jiko.

Great updates Carrie! I can't wait to try Jiko for the 1st time in May!

Isn't that sight of the white birds sleeping in the trees at AK something to behold? We were treated to that view on the way out of the Park after the EEC. That combined with riding EE at nite makes night EMH at AK a must-do!

Unfortunately, when we will be there in May, AK is only open for EMH until 8pm, and sunset at that time of year is typically about the same time. So unfortunately I don't think we will get to experience the park after dark this trip.

I was so touched to read about Patrick writing your Dad a letter during the trip!

From your picts, it looks like I will have to look into AK evening EMH!!! And yo uare right, there seem to be less EHM for there than any other park!

Don't mean to hijack the thread but that is a great idea When we go in Dec we'll be celebrating our 7th anniversary of when we first met (it's actually the day we arrive, but that doesn't matter ) and this last Sept DH really wanted a cake but we couldn't justify it and would never have eaten it all, but now there will be about a million Diser's and I can suprise him with a cake I may get it delivered at a meal with just the two of us but we can share it later if it looks llike we won't finish it
I love you guys, you're so full of great ideas

Hi and welcome back...glad to see you posting and updating your TR!

It's so funny! (Ironic) because before I even read your last update I told DH..."We must do AK EMH hours this trip!"....

Now that I've seen the pics, I'm glad I made that decision!

Hey Carrie! I got my latest issue of Disney Twenty-Three. I was reading the article about the expo and was looking at a crowd shot. And who do I see in her pink top? Lurkyloo!

 

[LittleStinkerbelle]

I'm getting caught up on your trip report -- we just got back from a week at WDW. Had a piece of peanut butter cake from BW Bakery in your honor. So good! After we devoured it I thought it would've been cute to take a picture of it with "Hi Lurkyloo" written on a napkin next to it - so just try to picture it. Thanks for the tip -- DH said it was his favorite dessert of the trip.

Loving your trip report! The photography is great.
We too LOVE the BWI, and I love that little always empty seating area! The rooms look fabulous since the rehab. We usually get a deluxe room since there are six of us, we recently bought into DVC, though, so I don't think I will be talking DH into that again when we have points to use
I have always done the traditional early to bed, early to rise, hit the parks at opening style of touring, but your report has definitely convinced me we need to try at least one evening EMH, I know it would make the teenagers happy if we stayed up late and slept it. They really love getting up for rope drop
My DH too is getting tired of the Disney trips (Hellllloooo we just bought into DVC and we have those shiny new AP vouchers, if you think we aren't going back and often, think again) So I have been trying to think of ways to change things up a little for our June trip...

 

[LuvindisCruiser]

Yay, another Lurkyloo Trip report !
I already informed my family that I WILL be getting a slice of P butter chocolate cake at the Boardwalk Bakery !!!
That is my #1 priority in March, thanks for letting us know where to find it !
Great report as always, can't wait to read the rest.....

Happy Anniversary!

 

[Donald'sGirl]

First off Happy Belated Anniversary!!

Second, love that last installment. I would never have thought about doing AK at night but next time we go I am hitting it up. The empty park and the beautiful pics make is so worth it. I Jiko!! DH had the steak with the mac n cheese when we went and loved it. It was one of the best meals we have ever had at Disney.

Animal Kingdom looks beautiful at night! We've only been there during the day, so I really enjoyed seeing all your pictures

ok..I just chatted with you, but I wanted to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY again! Enjoy your weekend away!

Awesome trip report Carrie. Your photos of the Boardwalk have made me want to stay there even more.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Like everyone else, your photos of the BW are making me want to stay there even more than I already do I've wanted to stay there for years, though, so it's nothing new
