Hot Dog! My wife just called me and told me we're going to AKV this weekend for our first stay at our home resort! We got a room with a Savanna (sp) view.

Have a great time. Take pictures!

We are especially interested in the new construction on the Kidani building.

Will you have to switch drivers on that long ride over?

All kidding aside, have a great weekend and home!

What a pleasant surprise!! How neat to be going on such short notice!

The rest of us start counting down 1,487 days in advanced!

We had a wonderful time! Thanks for the well wishes. I've never been in the AKV even though I bought there and I must say I am glad I did. Friday night when we got there the boys went into Simba's clubhouse, which they loved -we had to drag them out of. DW and I had dinner and went for a drink at Victoria Falls. Saturday got up had coffee on the balcony and watched the animals, then breakfast, then went to Animal Kingdom. We were only there for about an hour for the boys really wanted to hang around the resort! So we spent the better part of the day swimming and exploring and spending a lot of money on food. Next time we shall bring some provisions with us for --Oh my gosh could we have saved!
We went to Epcot to see the fireworks show and it was very short! We believe it was shortened due to the windy conditions. All and all it was a great weekend get-away. I have some pics, I hope they're not too big.

I am so jealous that you can just pick up and go for the weekend. I am very glad to hear you had such a nice time. Here's to many more last minute trips. And yes - provisions are a must .
