Divas, Zebra Domes, and Pixie Dust! A Week in an African Paradise! New TR Link Pg.145

[Native NYer]

So sorry to hear that a bite on your foot prevented one last park visit.
The animal print Mickey head keychain is so cute! The pottery is just beautiful.

The list of new things to try is such a great idea. It's so great to discover new things in a place you've been to frequently. That's one reason I love Disney. There's always something new or, at the very least, new to you.

Surprises next summer? You have to give us a clue

Looking forward to your new ptr and tr. Can't wait to hear about your adventures at F&W.

The souvenirs are great! I keep saying I am going to get a Basin soap for the main bathroom, but I always end up just buying for other people. Maybe this time.

The Four Parks, One World CD gets much play in my car, too!

I hope that we are able to do our two last days at AKL next summer like we did at WL this past summer. Money is an issue, though, so it may have to be the following summer. Even if we don't stay there, we will visit, because it is an awesome resort.

Very impressed with your list of 'never dones' that you did get done! You did an excellent job, and I'm sure you had fun in the process.

Thanks for sharing this awesome report. I look forward to seeing what all you have in the works for next year.

I'm so glad you are going back this weekend. Enjoy the F&W selections, and I look forward to hearing all about it as we await our next turn.

Darn mosquitos! I thought Disney eradicated them all for us. The one that bit you was clearly a gate crasher!

I felt grumpy for you as you described packing up and heading out.

Oh, the souvenire goodness Jackie! I LOL at Connor's ramen noodles. The Mickey heads key chain is so cute, and I'm coveting your Christmas ornament.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your weekend plans and your next summer's surprises.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Ohhhhhh! What kind of surprises???? I love the African artwork. Is that ornament heavy? It looks like it may be. I would love to find an ornament like that for my tree. Is it from the park or the Lodge?

 

[Lady Lallie]

I love the Animal Kingdom magnet! It's so cute, I need it. I love all the characters on it.

I'm very interested to see how Charles is this week for F&W. Hopefully he will redeem himself!

I'm so glad you are going to be going to Disney next year even if it's different. I need my yearly CP Disney fix.

 

[jillyb]

Awwww....it's over. I'm sad you didn't get one last park in before you left. You got some great souvenirs. The safari Eeyore is too cute! You got a lot of stuff marked off your first time list.

Hope you and the Ruler of Teppan Edo have a fantabulous time at F&W this weekend! Can't wait to hear about it and your plans for the summer. Is it still Key West or have you changed your mind?

 

[jillyb]

I had to do a double take when I saw your names...I have a cousin w/ a daughter named Alison in NC. I was like what!?

Your cousins name wouldn't be Leslie would it? LOL

 

[drakes]

Although I have read your whole TR. I now need to go back re-read and take notes! Guess who's going to AKL We Are! We Are!
My goal is to slow down and enjoy this resort and all it has to offer!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Jackie,

I'm so glad I got on here this morning...(I haven't been on the boards for 4/5 days-whole family sick...stomach bugs...less said the better...)

I'm glad I got you before you left-2 DAYS...how exciting...

I'm so glad that Charles and all of you enjoyed dinner at Teppan Edo-I think that that is a great idea to make it a last night tradition...poor Connor though...... It sounds like it was overall a great wrapup night to your trip...

When you were saying goodbye to everything...It reminded me of Good Night Moon...the Disney Version...

You all have convinced me that I might be needing that 4 parks , 1 world cd...but I am on a self imposed no buy until the end of October...what to do...what to do...

Basin Mickey Head Soap...Happy Days...

I'll be back before you leave...

 

[DWGal210]

Those keychains are the COOLEST! I will for sure have that on my shopping list for this trip.

I hope you and Charles have a nice time on your short jaunt! It sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Food and Wine is for sure an experience that I want to have at some point.

Oooh, and teasing about summer plans next year?! Sweet! Can't wait to hear!

 

[Sarilas]

I am so glad you got to stay at AKL! And i can't believe you're headed back already!

 

[kschafer]

Oh my goodness, where have I been? I somehow missed the last 3 updates and am now sad its over Glad that Connor got his Kim Possible fix and I like the Henna! Teppan Edo always looks yummy, how exciting to meet Carissa (I believe she is from Iowa too)

Thank goodness you are leaving soon to bring home more of our magical place to share!

 

[LISAMWDW]

Great ending! Sorry about your foot! However, it was prolly easier to leave than to tear yourself away from a park!

I'm thinking Charles will redeem himself on this trip! I can't wait to hear about it!

Do we get a hint about the surprise? LOL!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Thanks for sharing the ups & downs of your trip with all of us! It's been fun to follow along. I can't wait to hear about you Food & Wine Festival visit!!

 

[MRYPPNS]

Great report Jackie. I'm so glad that AKL was so wonderful for you!

See ya in a couple days!!!!

 

[manntra]

Great loot you came out with! I am so getting that CD....I will make it my Tracy Possible Mission to find it!
Can't wait to stock back up on some Basin products!
Ziggy is a minature pinshcer....he does look a bit like a Manchester...he is rather tall for a min pin. Lots of fun and keeps me very busy...I drop him off at my parents for day care when I am at work!

Looking forward to your super quick PTR!

Tracy

 

[carissanboys]

Chelsea's food porn pictures were very artistic.

I have heard just so many great reviews of that place this year!

I was shocked when I saw your latest post was titled "final thoughts." I had no idea we were that close to the end.

Love all of your souvenirs! You're a great shopper.

Loved your TR Jackie!

 

[Lynn5700]

Hey!!! I really loved your TR!!!! I can't believe you go to Disney in 2 days!!!!!!! Looking forward to the next report, lol.

 

[winkers]

It's too bad you had to skip the park on the last day....I would have been grumpy too.

I'm dying to stay at AKL...but I can't seem to convince mr.tightwad that it's worth paying more.

 

[IluvXU]

So sad this is over.

I am excited your are going back so soon.

I think I need an AK key chain... remember my "home"

So Charles promises no diva ....

As for the rides/attractions you tried--- I am super impressed! You knocked quite a few off!

Wishing you tons of fun... so jealous, you will be in Disney on my birthday, no fair!
