DVC Mike Live from Kidani Village (Mar 6-14, 2010)

[photobob]

The weather forcast is 70-77 all week!

That sounds about as good as it can be. Enjoy yourself, sounds like you need the reality escape that WDW provides.

I sure hope that weather holds until the last week of March! It's been the winter from you know where up here and this is our first ever spring break trip so I am COUNTING ON some sunshine & 78-80 degrees!! We're going down LATE on the 26th and I've been worried about the cooler weather down there this winter. (I'm so anxious I'm ready to start packing but can't until I can get an accurate weather forecast.)

Our plane lands around 10:25 pm that night and I expect it will be close to midnight by the time we check-in. Really nice to see the nighttime pictures so I know what to expect. Afraid we'll be so tired we'll be too out of it to notice how beautiful it is. This will be our first stay at Kidani and am anxious to compare it to Jambo. I really think my only concern is that we might miss the Mara...

We'll be at Kidani in May, so I'm really enjoying the pics and the preview.

Thanks for sharing.

BraveTeacher - looks like we will just miss each other

Love the pictures and all your pictures they are the best...I always save them so I can get my Disney fix in between trips.
Been at WDW since 2/24 and have been freezing, haven't been out with out a sweatshirt yet....maybe today!!! but it has at least mostly been sunny..have a great stay...

 

[lwilliam]

I love when you are in WDW - almost as much as when I'm there.....can't thank you enough for all the time you take to post pictures....I'm gonna have an exciting week reading your posts.

Great to be reading your TR DVCMike!! Can't wait to see more pictures
If you don't mind, can you take pictures of the covered walkway to the busses? Just curious as to how it looks. Thanks

Hurray!! Mike is back with a live report Always enjoy your TR's and being able live it through you. I almost can understand your wife's feelings although I've only been to WDW 3 times (1997, twice 2008) - after my 4th day of being solo on the last trip, I "almost" thought I was done with WDW for awhile (maybe because I took 2 trips in one year) but then my DD & DGS joined me for the last 4 days and I got to see it through their eyes and that made it all fresh and new for me again.

I hope you have a great time being solo for a few days and that you both have a greater time when your wife joins you. Great pics of your room view!

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing them. My 6 year old daughter says thanks too!

They held the 2nd annual Disney's Princess Half Marathon today. It started at 6am from Epcot and also ended at Epcot (map below).

I went over to Epcot. The shot below shows the guests being let into Epcot, with the marathon runners going the opposite direction.

There was only one point where guests could cross the marathon, and you'd better cut across quickly.
