I'm pretty sure that all of my pictures are from Yankee Stadium and Citi Field...LOL! We didn't do much touristy stuff except Top of the Rock @ night so the pics aren't that great! I can't believe you live there!!! I don't think I could make it there and I've been living in Chicago for almost 4 years!!!

LOL I have faith in you!! I just heard "Under Pressure" playing in my head imagining you stopping in R&C
Hey there.. Sorry Im just now getting back on your TR.. well so much has happened since I got back from my solo trip.. My grandmom was in the hospital before I left but I decided to go anyways.. well she has since passed away.. after I got back I spent most of my time going back and forth to the hospital and didnt have much time for anything else.. she passed last Monday so this week has been quite hectic and sad around here ..
Needless to say I did NOT get a picture of Eddie..
The day I was at Epcot I made 2 trips to the bar and there was only a boy named Stu and 2 girls there and that was it.. I was quite disappointed.. Just wanted to let you know I failed on my mission..

LOL! Thanks. I know, I know. I need to update but school is INSANE right now and it is hard to find time for the DIS! Also, my internet in the apartment here doesn't work well so its hard to upload my pictures!
Yes! We need an update! LOL!
Ahhh I'll try to do one soon!

Awwww! Well thank you for trying! Eddie has been MIA lately for everyone I've told to go see him. Maybe he didn't even exist at all?! All I know is that I DON'T have a Park Hopper for my Memorial Day trip so he'd BETTER BE THERE!
And
to you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmom and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

So it has been a while since I last updated and I apologize for that! I also want to say that I'm sorry I haven't been able to read through all of your TR's and PTR's because of school right now, but I promise I will get to them soon!
We last left off with drinks around the World Showcase with Belle and Aurora. We finally escaped from our creeper Test Track friends by telling them we had to go to the bathroom and all running away as fast as we could. They were too drunk to notice and by the time they started yelling for us to come back, we were already too far! So we went back to the room where I could NOT fall asleep to save my life! I think it is that stupid motion sensor thermostat because I kept waking up practically sweating.
In the morning, Aurora left early to go running with her trainer. Belle and I slept in a little bit and then headed to yummy Boma for breakfast. Before we left, we had a friend outside of our window! We named him Herbie and he was an Eland. I wonder how many names that guy gets from all the people with savannah views? Or maybe we were the only crazy ones who felt the need to name him. Anyways, he made multiple appearances throughout our time there and we loved him! So breakfast at Boma - it was delicious! I have a few pictures in my dining review, so if you are interested please check them out via the link in my signature!
Here are some views from the room -
After breakfast we explored the resort and looked at the animals. We met an awesome CM who spent time with us telling us a lot about the savannah and what it is really like in Africa.
Then we took a cab to Kissimmee to see Aurora's husband play baseball! As I mentioned earlier, her husband signed with the team I interned for in the fall. So going to the game would give me a chance to hang out with Aurora, say hi to her awesome family, and see my friends from the internship! We had a great day and were ready for our dinner at Ohana when we got back!
The only reservation I could get for Ohana during our stay was for that night at 9:15PM. That was usually fine, but after talking to some of my internship friends we decided we all wanted to meet up. They agreed to come to DTD/Boardwalk later, so Belle and I called Ohana to see if they could seat us earlier or if there were any cancellations. The CM I talked to said that if we came right away that they could most likely get us in. We took a bus to MK, then the boat over to the Poly.
So we arrived at Ohana and the same CM that answered the phone when I called about checking in early now tells me that I cant check in until 2 hours before my reservation. That means we couldnt check in until 7:15PM which wasnt that long of a wait. We decided to check out the Tambu Lounge while we waited to check in.
So its 7:15PM and I go over to the podium where the SAME CM tells me he NEVER SAID THAT I could check in 2 hours before my ADR, and I actually have to wait until an hour and a half before my ressie. So this means I have another half hour to wait. I was angry but thought it was a good excuse to try another drink. So after I finished my Sunken Treasure I headed back to the podium where the CM tells me I can finally check in. So I give him my name and he asks where Im from, etc. I told him we came from Chicago where we go to school and he got really excited because that's where he's from. Funny how right after I checked in and told him that our table was ready immediately! It was nuts. We barely had time to pay our bill at the bar.
Our server was great and brought me a special vegetarian entree after she noticed that I wasn't eating any of the meat. Last time I was at Ohana I ordered the entree but this time I didn't because I knew I could get enough to eat just from the bread, salad, veggies, noodles, and bread pudding! Unfortunately I stuffed my face with the yummy veggie entree that the server brought and couldn't even force myself to eat the bread pudding!! I am STILL mad about that because I had been dreaming about that dessert since I booked the trip!
While we were there we also ran into Cousin Gary, who was my server for my birthday trip. I don't think he remembered me but he chatted with us anyways. He is definitely a character! After dinner we decided that we would head over to Jellyrolls at the Boardwalk to meet up with friends.
We got to the Boardwalk and realized we were tired. I think it was a combination of being in the sun all day, drinking all day the day before, and eating all of that delicious Ohana-ness. Anyways, my internship friends said they were too tired to come all the way there as well so we decided to meet up the next night instead. Belle and I were too tired to stay out late so we didn't feel like paying the cover charge to go into Jellyrolls and decided to check out Atlantic Dance Hall instead. I thought it was fun - they were playing disco, Michael Jackson, and Britney Spears while we were in there. There were a few groups of people but at 10:30 it was not very busy. We left after about an hour and went back to the AKL to get some rest!

I'm so psyched that you updated! I love the AKL pics, they're gorg!!
Hey, I know this is a little off topic (ok it's alot off topic) but I immediately thought of you! Guess where I may be going this weekend? The Astros game!! Me and my BF were trying to figure out something to do for Memorial Day and we had the idea to drive to Houston. It all depends on if we can find cheap tickets and a cheap enough hotel room, but I'm kinda excited!

How long is it before they shut down your thread? I have NO time to update because of school but it will be all over in 2 weeks so I'll be able to finish! Also, remember Eddie? (Let's be honest, if you've forgotten about Eddie then you clearly never read any of my TR since he's the only thing I talk about ) Anyways - he wasn't working this weekend when I went to WDW for a quick trip, but Belle suggested via text that I should ask the other bartender for his name. I got it and now we are friends on Facebook 
YAY! He is working there until July so any of you that are lucky enough to go to WDW before then, check him out!!
Also, I apologize for not being up to date on anyones TR's! Trust me, when I am done w/school I will have a LOT of time on my hands to catch up
