[DisneyTinkerbell]

Enjoying the report. Can't wait for more!!

 

[troobabiee7]

Your pictures are so pretty! I love the AKL : And I love those princess topiaries too!

Hilarious about the flight attendant!

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

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!

Hahaha, my mom would KILL ME! I hope you get to go. The savannah view was AWESOME - you guys would love it! I'll post more pics soon.

Oh my gosh, those princess displays are gorgeous.

Aren't they cool? I do have to admit, I wish the F&G displays had more flowers instead of just topiaries - you know what I mean? It was weird going in August because I always go in spring during F&G and it was weird NOT to see the topiaries - I think I thought they were part of WDW all the time!

Enjoying the report. Can't wait for more!!

Thanks!! In effort to avoid doing any schoolwork I will probably update later, LOL.

Your pictures are so pretty! I love the AKL : And I love those princess topiaries too!

Thanks girl!

Welcome and thanks for joining in! I know - too funny! If I find someone to go with me over Memorial Day I'll probably be on that same flight down. That's going to be awkward, lol!

When i stayed at AKL last year we did standard and were upgraded to the room right off the lobby with a savannah! Hoping for some pixie dust again in may!

 

[Sarah84]

Those princess displays are gorgeous love the photos, AKL looks lovely if/when I get to go back to Disneyworld I think a few nights at least will have to be booked for there

 

[skellingtonfreak]

Okay. So I just HAD to come and check this out...I love the food and all, but what kind of person would I be if I didn't at least read the trip report that went with it?

And...hate to be mom, but never ever ever give your phone number to flight attendants...I know too many of them and they are all a little loco en la cabeza, if you catch my drift.

Anyway, great start and I can't wait for he next installment!

Ahhh, I've never had an upgrade before because I'm a spoiled brat and my dad always gets us concierge/club level. I never knew how exciting it was!!! I'm hoping for pixie dust for you, too!

Yes! I'll probably do another split stay in the future because I enjoy experiencing the other resorts as a guest.

This is just a mini-update since I can't sleep right now and I'd rather not be doing homework!!

OK, so we get in the stupid 120-minute stand-by line to ride Soarin’. I’m the only one who had ever been on it, so Belle and Aurora trusted my judgment that it was worth the wait. If I were by myself I probably wouldn’t have waited that long. I love the ride, but to me I could be enjoying things outside in the Florida sunshine instead of wasting 2 hours of my day inside a building waiting for a 5-minute ride.

So we finally get to the part where they start projecting “games” on the walls and people were going nuts. And the people going nuts were the parents of kids who were sitting on the ground rubbing their eyes or playing with their Nintendo DS. It was HI-LARIOUS. You should’ve seen these people! It was just so funny to see how into the games everyone got. They were concentrating so hard and getting frustrated if they didn’t pop a balloon or a bird crashed! It was soooo entertaining!! Then we got bored enough to be sucked into the fun and probably looked like idiots to everyone else, LOL! In this photo you can see the games projected on the wall and all the other people waiting in line with us!

So then there would be long pauses between games where the line wouldn’t move at all and everyone would sit down. We had this horrible woman behind us who was the only person not sitting down during this little wait between games/the line moving. She’d like stand on her toes and as soon as she saw the first person in the line stand up to move forward, she’d say “COME ON GIRLS!! THE LINES MOVIN’” Like we couldn’t see for ourselves! And she said it EVERY time! It’s not like we sat there while everyone moved ahead, either. It was nuts. We were hungry and bored and just wanted to ride Soarin’ – jeez lady!!!

Next up will be our "Drinks Around the World [Showcase]" and you will meet my future husband!!

OMG, I can't believe you guys waited in a line that long! DH would have gone insane if I suggested it. I finally got to ride Soarin last September for the first time. We got FP's and then after our Behind the Seeds Tour we rode. Worked out fab and I hope to get to ride again.

about the zebra domes and the white chocolate. I HATE white chocolate so I didn't want to try them at first. Now, forget it.........I'd eat a dozen if I could.

Can't wait to read more!

 

[bettyann29]

Woohoo.. I finally found your TR.. I was looking in the wrong place.. imagine that

Wow.. what a wonderful start to your trip.. Back when I was 21 I probably would have done the same thing with that flight attendant.. but Im so much more leary of people nowadays.. at least he was cute.. he he..

AKL is beautiful!! Ive never seen pictures but boy oh boy I want to stay there.. I need to put that one on the top of my list.. DH would love it! How lucky that you guys got upgraded!

Thank you for the pictures in front of Spaceship Earth! I was hoping you would take that one.. I think they make it look so pretty up there.. they always do.. Cant wait til 2 weeks when I get to see it for myself..

About that lady in line at Soarin.. You should have turned around and taken a picture of her and told her that you wanted a picture of her so you could show all your friends back home That would have shut her up after that..

Cant wait to hear and see more .. like Eddie?? ha ha Now Im intrigued.. I just may have to go on an expedition while Im there and take a looksy..

 

[tinkgurl]

Haha, the Soarin' line is pretty interesting.

Ugh, I hate people in line like that. It's like "CALM DOWN! I know the line's moving. I don't want to be right on the backs of the people in front of me. I like to give them space."

 

[skellingtonfreak]

Oh I would have NEVER waited that long for any ride, let alone one as cool as Soarin'. Anything over 30 minutes and won't go near it.

And I love the pics your camera takes. Which Powershot did you end up getting? We are Canon peeps and that is all we buy in the digital department. I have 3 different Powershots now.

Oh my gosh, I know! It was way too long! If I was with my family they would just laugh if I THOUGHT about waiting that long. But the girls never had been on it before so to them it might be worth it. How was the Behind the Seeds tour? And yes, Zebra Domes sound delish right about now!! I've been practically starving myself all day because we're going out to dinner for Belle's birthday in a few hours.

YAY! I'm glad you found it and you're here! I just laughed out loud - for real- when I read your comment about taking a picture of the lady in line!!!!! Too funny!!

Yes, PLEASE take a looksy AND a photo of Eddie

Haha, the Soarin' line is pretty interesting.

Heyyy girl I'm so sorry I just got over here! I didn't know you started and never even thought to look at your siggie to see!

Glad you guys had a good flight in, even if you did give your # to a creepy flight attendant I've stayed at ASSp back in 2005 and thought it was cute but it could use a refurb.

So lucky that you got a free upgrade!! I would have wanted to punch the lady on the Soarin' line...like, you're waiting on a 120 min. line, you dont need to be annoyed by someone during it. Can't wait to meet your future hubby

 

[redlight]

Enjoying the trip so far. Waiting to hear about your future husband.

 

[sneadae]

I've never waited in the standby line for Soarin, so I've never seen those video games. Interesting concept.

In regards to the line lady...Meeting people in line can go either way. Sometimes, I am sorry that I even opened my big mouth and said two words to the person, and other times, I can actually have a decent conversation and enjoy my time getting to know someone. Your line lady sounds like she was a big pain.

I totally agree! I've met some really cool people waiting in lines for rides or sitting near me at restaurants.
