DD: My sister

Wewoke up on Sunday morning very tired, but excited about our trip. We had a graduation party the night before. I graduated from college a few weeks ago and sister just graduated from high school. We had already packed, so we just got ready for church. Today was the graduation recognition at out church, so we had to go for it and lunch before we could head for the world.
After luch, we went home, changed clothes and headed for Disney. WE live in Callahan FL so it takes us about 3 hours to get to Disney World. The trip went well and we arrived at the Animal Kingdom Lodge around 4:30 pm. MY sis and I checked out the resort, while Mom and Dad checked in. We had booked a standard room with the AP rate of $124 a night. Dad told the CM at the checkin about our graduations and asked if we could get an upgrade. He checked and said that no Savannah rooms were available, but he had a great pool view room he could give us. WE went up to the room on the 5th floor and found out it was a Deluxe room. WOW it was very large! A $385 room for $124. We were very happy. We would probably never get a rate like this ever again. The rest of the night we just checked out the animals from the viewing areas and had dinner at Mara. We went to bed arounf 11 so we could get up for the Extra Magic hour at the Magic Kingdom on Monday.
 
Congratulations on your graduation! You really got a deal on that room. Sounds like Disney Magic took over...
 
Hi there..

Thanx for the report... you must have been thrilled with the beautiful poolview room - call me crazy but I would love a pool view at AKL... (my daughter of course would scream for the savanna)

How old are you and your Sister?

Off to read your next one...

I am 22 and she is 17. We still love Disney even though we are getting older.
 

Hey!!! We may have stayed in the same room!!! Did you have bunk beds? Wasn't this a GREAT location???? Where is Callahan?? Must be up north. We are 3 hrs from WDW in Hollywood (between Miami and Ft Lauderdale).

Do you remember the room number??
 
We were in 5464. No it didnt have bunks just two queens. It was great though. Callahan is north just north of Jacksonville almost on the FL/GA border.
