Thanks for the good wishes, BCV23...happy to report we're having a blast...the perfect blend (for us for this trip) of relaxation and stimulation...we did MouseQuest today--came in last (out of six groups), but had SO much fun--will comment more on this in the MouseQuest thread (if I can find it!)...I also went by the sales center at SSR (had to stop by "home"...I missed it (also missed Beach Club when we were at SSR in November....mmm...I fear another bout of addonitis may be incubating...I find I equally love BCV and SSR)...anyway, back to pre-parenthesis: saw the models of the Animal Kingdom Villas...very, very pretty! The studio seems about the same as all the
DVC studios (except, of course, for theming of decorations), altho the bathroom is noticeably bigger...but the one-bedroom is MUCH bigger than all the DVC 1-BRs we've seen (haven't seen Wilderness Lodge, but have seen the rest), except for OKW...and that second bathroom is an awfully nice feature!
The love bugs are a pain at the bus stops...for some reason, I haven't noticed them anywhere else...not the pools or the parks or downtown Disney...but they've been at every bus stop and they're the most annoying obnoxious bugs! Oh, well...if they stick to the bus stops we're home free!
My son-the-boss-of-this-trip has just announced we are going to AK tomorrow morning for EMH/opening...yay! I'm going to wander over to Animal Kingdom Lodge either tomorrow afternoon or maybe Thursday to check it out...have only been there once before, and that was when I was out jogging (from the All Stars) a bunch of years ago...not sure that counts! I want to see what everyone loves so much...
Saw the little playground area people have been talking about...it's tiny, but cute...at the far end of SAB, closer to the Yacht Club, and closer to the walk-way...not sure it's "24-hour" since it's part of SAB...so maybe there's another playground somewhere we haven't seen...but at 19, my DS is beyond playground days so they're not something I tend to look for or notice...
Life is good...Disney Magic is in ascendance...no complaints, no problems, no worries (hakuna matata!)...wish I could stay here forever!
