Don't break my heart, Mickey!! FINISHED 7/2!! Page 11.

[AlohaPolynesian]

Are you in school for something related to sports? I'd love to hear about the internship!

I PM'd you so I wouldn't bore all of my readers away, LOL.

You are never too cool or too old for Disney. I try to make it down every couple of years and usually end up going solo for marathon weekend...and it's been a while since I was 21

AMEN!

 

[DisKate]

Ok, you beat me to it...now I feel really bad about not starting my TR....sounds like you had fun though! Can't wait to hear more!

 

[DenishaT]

Can't wait to read the rest I'm taking myself to Disney for my 30th B-day! I figure if I'm going to have a complete breakdown there's no better place to do it than Disney

 

[saratogadreamin09]

First, I'm in love with the picture of you and David Cook! How did you get to met him?

Second, very cool you got to do an internship with a baseball team

Third, great TR. Cant wait to read more. I cant belive none of your friends would want to go to disney. I hope I never get too old for it!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Great start! Funny about the flight attendant but too bad he started sending strange messages.

We stayed at All Star Sports a few years ago. We ended up liking it (but it was such a change from being at the Polynesian for so many trips...we missed the monorail ) but I know what you mean about the outside corridors. It was even worse staying on the first floor because EVERYONE walks by! It was kinda creepy when we were all going to bed and people were walking around out there.

Oh yes, and I am excited for baseball season too!

Um YEAH and I'm also doing a dining review at the same time!! Hahaha just kidding - but I can't wait to read your TR!

Oh that is awesome! I'm jealous! I have a PIN and am pretty close to going down alone because no one wants to come with me

I actually met him a couple of times. It was really all luck and we were in the right place at the right time! That photo was taken where my internship was, and I knew the security guard who was working the "after party" so he let me in, LOL!

The internship was AMAZING!! I miss it so much.

And thanks! I know, I can't believe it either. I almost convinced my mom and then today she called me and said she changed her mind. I think I cried all morning because when I talked to her yesterday she basically had decided to come so I got my hopes up big time.

Aw I love the Poly! And I'm so glad there's another baseball lover on board. Who's your team?

 

[saratogadreamin09]

As a baseball lover I'll through my team out there

the yankees

Hi, just started reading your trip report and just wanted to tell you that if you are ever looking for someone to go to disney with I'm here!! I'm 22 and I love disney! I don't care how old I get I will always be a kid at heart and love disney! I can't wait to hear more about your trip!

 

[HoneyLSU]

Hi!! I'm here, all caught up and can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip!!

I love the story about the flight attendant and I probably would have had the same assumptions as you, so don't feel too bad. I'm sorry that he turned out so sketchy, but I bet it was pretty exciting! You'll probably end up getting a random text from him in a week or so after he's been drinking wanting to know what went wrong that night!

I learned my lesson one night about talking to strange people. Me and my roommate met these guys at a gas station and they told us to come over. So we followed them, with no intention of stopping, and when we tried to get out of their neighborhood it was a dead end! So we had to pass right by their house! They were waiting outside and we ended up going in for a few cause they were just so cute and funny! Everything turned out ok though and they were really nice, but the next morning we were like, "that could have turned out BAD!" But, we got random texts a week or so later asking us to hang out again, but we declined! I'm embarrassed even thinking about that now and everytime I do, I thank God that everything turned out ok, cause some people aren't so lucky. Plus, we knew better!

Your room at All Star Sports looked pretty nice. We had originally booked Pop, but changed when I had heard not so nice things about the Values. Pictures like that though make me re-think my decision though! It looks so cute!

Please bore me too! Haha j/k! But, I would really love to hear about it too! I worked in a college athletic dept and considered getting my Master's in Sports Management.

I'm sorry your mom keeps changing her mind! Hopefully she'll come around or you'll find someone to go with. My mom is dying to go and her and my dad may end up going with us in November, but we'll see!

Haha. I DO like Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and Robby Cano

Girlll! At least my man was a flight attendant and I didn't meet him at a gas station Just kidding.

I'll take your mom with me! LOL. One of the girls I lived with last year might come with me if she can find an affordable flight!

 

[sneadae]

Welcome back! Looking forward to reading your trip report. It sounds like you guys had a great start to your trip.

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

So in the morning we woke up and brought our luggage down to the lobby of All Star Sports and told them we were switching to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. They took our bags and then Belle and I headed over to the food court. The food court was NUTS and we waited a while for our breakfast before we had to scout out a table. When we were done, Aurora met us out front and we all drove over to check into AKL!

We got there and checked in, even though we knew our standard room wouldn’t be ready. Well, not only was our room ready – it was upgraded! We had a view of the Sunset Savannah and were on the 3rd floor, same as the lobby. The hotel was gorgeous! I've stayed at GF, Poly, YC, CSR, and at that point - All Star Sports, too. I'd rank AKL as my second favorite, right behind the Polynesian! I would definitely go back and stay there, but the savannah view spoiled me - so I'd neeeeed a savannah view for sure if I were to return . It was a great room, but we didn’t see any animals from the window before we left. We grabbed a bus to EPCOT and couldn't wait to get into the park!!

Perfect! Belle. Cinderella. Aurora. All three of us were featured in the display right at the entrance of the park!


Then we decided to head off to Soarin' because we wanted to grab a FastPass. I knew the FastPasses went quickly, but I didn't realize they'd almost be gone! When we got there, the return time was during our dinner reservation, so we headed over to the Stand-By line where we were THOROUGHLY entertained...​

Welcome back! Looking forward to reading your trip report. It sounds like you guys had a great start to your trip.

Thanks. It was an amazing trip - I haven't had that much fun at Disney in a few trips! I can't wait to go back, but I don't think it would be the same. I'm jealous you get to go in May! I'm still trying to find someone to go with me for Memorial Day weekend.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Love your report so far. We stayed at the ALK last September. Loved it! I MUST ask.....did you have any zebra domes? OMG, I can't get enough of those freaking things!!!!!

I agree agout the outside corridors. If my DH wasn't staying with me I'd probably put a chair under the door handle.

Can't wait to read more.

 

[saratogadreamin09]

Haha. I DO like Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and Robby Cano


!

Jeter


Rivera is such a good closer, I have no clue what the Yanks will do without him in 3 years

 

[wdwgirl03]

Aw I love the Poly! And I'm so glad there's another baseball lover on board. Who's your team?

The Brewers!! We're coming off a fun season last year (it was sooooo exciting finally being in the playoffs ) though I am a little worried about how they'll do this year after losing their top 2 pitchers...

 

[Space Command]

trip report is going great ... When are we leaving for Memorial Day trip ... jk

 

[DisKate]

Well if your going to go over Memorial Day, thats right around my birthday....darn.....I would go with you. lol.........I missed the F&G by like 5 days when we went, but they already had some stuff up...I got to see Lady & the Tramp so that made my trip

Girl I only tried the Zebra domes because you suggested them!! They looked white chocolate-y so since the chef was standing right there I asked him just how much white chocolate is in/on them. He said it's just a coating so I went ahead and tried them! (I can't stand a lot of white chocolate - yuck!) But they were awesome and I have a picture somewhere! Thanks for the suggestion. I want one right now!!

Jeter

Haha Jeter is awesome. I don't even think he is attractive I just think he is an amazing player! I can't wait to go to the new stadium!

The Brewers!! We're coming off a fun season last year (it was sooooo exciting finally being in the playoffs ) though I am a little worried about how they'll do this year after losing their top 2 pitchers...

Nice!! My roommate is a Brewers fan and loves Ryan Braun. I like Prince Fielder b/c he's good AND he's a vegetarian

Aw! I love Lady & the Tramp. I loved that movie when I was two and begged my parents for a "Lady dog" so I got a Cocker Spaniel when I was 3 LOL!

PS I think one of the girls I lived with last year can go with me!!

 

[HoneyLSU]

I know...a gas station! It really is embarrassing to think back on and I fully expect you to laugh!! They turned out to be nice guys though so that was a good thing. We still joke about the time we got picked up at a gas station though and still have not told our mothers about it! Could you imagine??

I wish she could go with you!! We're just waiting on something to happen and if it does, then she'll be able to go. But, she just wants to go to Disney to eat!

If both of my parents end up getting to go they said they'd just pay the difference for us to get AKL Savannah View! My mom and BF are dying to stay there! I hope you were able to get some good pics!
