Brother & Sister, WL, AKL, and Parents on a Disney Cruise! We're off!!! 5/8!!

[Charleston Princess]

Checking into Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of the things I am most looking forward to in June!!!

Le Cellier always looks so yummy!

 

[MeMom]

There had been rumors that Beauty and the Beast was closing last fall, but it was going when we were there in March. You definitely should see it before they do end up closing it and changing it out for another show.

I need my daily Disney fix, too.
I need it several times a day.
Does that make it an addiction,
and, if so,
is that a bad thing?

Our 80+ day wait is going to be made so much easier by all the pictures and stories we're going to be getting from a bunch of our DIS friends in the next couple of months!

Have fun with all of your last minute packing, organizing, and excitement!

I never heard these rumours about B&B closing, I know that Four for a Dollar left the show last Fall. I love this show so I hope it doesn't leave!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

im here, but never post on the weekend, plans still look good, that bread at lecelleir looks good. but i dont think i would eat there unless on the dinning plan.

but i will be trying out the beaches and cream and taking out that giant ice cream with the family.

I remember hearing that rumor (I think from you ) So i'm glad it isn't true. When I told mom she got excited, she loves her beauty and the beast! This week is taking forever but just thinking about how close we are is giving me butterflies!

I heard four for a dollar left which I heard were AWESOME!! I can't wait to see B&B one of my fave disney movies

I probaby wouldn't eat there without the DDP either! last trip it was $90 for just David and I

Yaaaaay!! So glad to have you!!

[CanadianWDWfan]

Only 3 DAYS!!! ARE YOU EXCITTED!!!

I'm so glad Beauty & Beast show is still around, it's my favorite too!

I'm also going to rely on several DIS friend's TR's to get me through my 105 days left. Wish I had a WDW popcorn bucket to eat from.

Three days!! I can't believe it!! So i finished up the mousekeeping envelopes this morning!! What do you guys think??

So excited to start printing these soon!!

 

[pooksma]

Love the envelopes Nicole!

You did a great job

Looking forward to your TR.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

i should have you make me some for next trip, we are staying in the campground and i can give them to my mom. when we wake up in the morning.

The great switcheroo...
I have mixed feelings about this day because it is the day we switch the AKL. I love the AKL and love staying at the same hotel as my parents but on the other hand, I just hate the thought of leaving my beloved WL!

David and I will wake up from our last WL sleep and have bell services transfer the luggage over, I love this, SO convenient.

The name of the game today is DHS rope drop. We will have had our EMH here one night earlier, but who knows what we'll get done?? I think the plan in any case is always going to be FP TSM (duh!) ride RnR, ToT, and than mosey back towards TSM. Mom and dad haven't decided if they are tagging along behind us, coming with us to rope drop, going to a whole nother park, who knows either way they are driving me crazy with the indecisiveness I know for a fact I want to see beauty and the beast (its still open right??) I thought it had closed last time we were there so i missed it, and therefore have never seen it!! One of my favorite disney movies!! We want to work in American Idol too!! We are a big AI family (as lots out there know ) so this is going to be very fun! I'm also a big animation academy fan, so I want to get over there too despite davids protests.

At break time david and I will head on over and check in to AKL!

Is it just me or is checking in one of the greatest feelings. It's so exciting not knowing where your room is, hoping for an upgrade, hoping for a great room etc, I love it!! We didn't link our room with mom/dads so lets see if we are close or far.

After breaking its time for one of our faves and yours, dinner at Le Cellier!! food porn time, yummmmmmy!

It's EMH at epcot so we will sure use that nap at the AKL! I could go for a little pool side lounging right about now! We'll maximize our time as a family tonight at EMH hopefully even though it can be slightly on the crowded side. In my experience EMH (depending on park and season) is definitely less crowded than mid-day in the park but more crowded than rope drop. Lets see what we can get done!!

Yummy indeed!!! I can't wait to eat there myself and will be living vicariously through you while you are. I understand about the switch, but hey, you are switching from one great hotel to another, I guess there are worse things in life : ) Thanks for the Iphone app tip, surfing app store now on my lunch. Love the mousekeeping envelopes, where did you find those?

Hey Lesley, no problem on the app store. That phone can do so much its just a matter of finding those little apps! I made the mousekeeping envelopes myself in Photoshop and than I print them using MS Word. It was no problem to customize the AKL one with your names so whether you use them or not here you go: Click here for mousekeeping envelope If you want me to make a template for SSR let me know, it will keep my mind occupied until Friday!

!

but then again if i give my mom mouskeeping envelops, she might get mad at me and think i am calling her our maid, scratch that idea, maybe i will have you help me make up a tshirt design that i can get for all of us tomatch on our trip.

that sounds like a better idea.

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Love the envelopes! You are very talented, I wish I had your skills!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I'm the first to say..... 2 DAYS!!!

Haha I didn't get that until now, when you said campgrounds I thought you meant Cabin

Love the envelopes! You are very talented, I wish I had your skills!

THank you! This is what I want to do for a living eventually (graphic design) so I appreciate your kind words!

I'm the first to say..... 2 DAYS!!!

 

[Nicole786]

Our last day....
Can you believe we're on our last full day already?? We barely stepped foot inside AKL! So sad...I cringe at the thought of the trip ending but i digress, lets take a looksie!

We have our first morning at AK, I love this park and can't wait to get back on everest, hopefully as a family if mom doesn't chicken out!!

We'll break as usual and spend some time at the AKL pool, maybe checking out Kidani Village??

More fun to be had! We have our last dinner sad2:) at Ohana. I am the only one in the family who has eaten here and I haven't since 2007 so this should be a fun ride!!

After dinner we head to MK for spectro and wishes, and David and I have a Dis meet for a quick hello over by Aloha Isle! We'll leave mom and dad for a minute, go say hi to our friends, and return.

This is our last night and I can't think of a better way to spend it!!
