Hi ya! Well it was a fun day even still! Made it to Epcot today -- and enjoyed some attractions before the rain came, we went for lunch at Chef's then grabbed a slushie and took the boat back across to get the heck out of there! Heavy rain about 2pm - 5pm.... we were back at the resort. They opened the Pool!!! So pretty, but they also made the arcade free all afternoon, so my guys (all THREE) were in the arcade for a good two hours.... I took a nap and did some work on line and managed to score a Jiko reservation! DH and I had dinner, boys had Simbas. They had dinner included and an extra hour of play time so frankly it was worth the $46.00!
Just got myself some zebra domes and am now off to do some shopping! Boys just put to bed. DH going to read and tool around on the computer.. the AP discount (20% is still in effect) Definitely did more shopping this trip!
 
Ooooh didn't you love Jiko? What did you have? They have such an amazing selection of wine too! I will be eating there with Katie in May! :goodvibes
Did you notice when you were getting your mandatory slushie if they have the Cosmo slushie on tap? ;)
I am so happy you are enjoying yourself and that you like my "home" at AKL!
Don't you just love the smell of the lobby when you walk in? :cloud9:

Ooooo, can't wait to hear what you thought of Jiko - I'm trying it for the first time in May!

Sounds like a marvelous way to spend a rainy afternoon! Can't wait to see your purchases!
 
Between a lovely meal of quiche and chardonnay, a rainy afternoon enjoying your resort, and dinner at Jiko, sounds like you had another great day! :lovestruc

Have a safe drive back later today when you head home! Looking forward to the trip report on this one! :goodvibes
 
HOWDY ALL! Well we are packing up this morning, it is overcast, not exciting weather, but not raining! I still will take 55 and Disney over what we ran away from! So here are a few final updates and I will share everything when we get home!

LAURA!!! THEY HAVE DISNEY DOLLARS AT ALL GUEST RELATIONS AND HOTEL CONSIERGE DESKS... Limited to what they have on hand... I might buy some for my guys... DO you need some? I am afraid you might not get my message in time... I would give you my cell # but I left the dang phone at work last friday! Good thing we bought new phones this past weekend.... See what happens when you get cooped up in the house!!?? YOU buy phones on line and you drive to Disney World :rolleyes:

But the phones are cool!

OKAY I digress, any how they still have Disney Dollars :)

I had a great night last night, I just went to DTD and shopped for an hour or so and zipped over to Epcot to get something there too -- I didn't walk around just shopped with that discount!

ON our way home this evening, See you soon when I get back on the DIS!!
 
Have a safe trip back! I can't wait to hear all about your trip & all the great AP shopping discounts!

Quiche and French Onion Soup, oh that sounds about perfect right now!

What a great resort, and WHAT a GREAT restaurant! Best meal this trip hands down, and I say that is one great restaurant! Might have to add this to our summer trip!!! Wine excellent! You know DH was the Slushie runner -- he had to go out in the rain, so I didn't see -- but he would have grabbed that if it were, I think, so I don't believe it is offered like the other two slushies are... but I will ask him! Oh it was a beautiful place!!! :goodvibes

Ooooo, can't wait to hear what you thought of Jiko - I'm trying it for the first time in May!

Oh we thought it was AWESOME. I will fill you in, don't worry!

It truly was! I just :love: the AKL!!! Wowsers! I hadn't really spent there before, so glad we were able to book there! Jiko was awesome! :thumbsup2

Just got home not too long ago, running around trying to put things away, etc. We got to Arlington (to pick up our dog from DBIL) near 9am, and then home by 10am. We didn't leave Disney until 5:30pm, and then stopped in Daytona for dinner. drove the rest of the way... feeling a nap in the near future..... :rolleyes: We are all a little "sleepy" !!!! So after a snooze I will be up for all my DISing!

Have a safe trip back! I can't wait to hear all about your trip & all the great AP shopping discounts!

Thank you! we got home without incident! Just all a little sleepy!

Well actually we were still at the MK!!!!:rotfl: The sun came out blue sky around noon yesterday, so we just stayed and enjoyed the sun! Left around 5:30... we have been home a few hours now, and are ready for a nap! :laughing: We did have a great time, it was a fun family getaway that was totally spontaneous. I guess the stars were in alignment for this one!

YES! It was a very big surprise for everyone!!! But we had a lovely time!

OKAY all, we got home just a few hours ago -- sorting things out and now going to take a nap!! :laughing: I am going to catch up on my DIS reading tonight on the treadmill -- gotta get rid of those zebra domes, and my toffee from Goofy's!!!! :p I have a cruise to go on in two weeks!!!!! :eek:
 
Okay, all done reading my subs! I am headed for bed, but have to add that my 10 day count down to the cruise is today!!!!
 
Welcome back!

Thanks! I will try to get organized today! Can you believe I have to actually WORK tomorrow??!!! :laughing:

Oh Jennifer you do inspire me to get back on my treadmill......

Well come on then! The laptop works really well if you fashion a board to set across the handles.. (it works on mine) not sure what kind you have, but get creative! I love reading on the DIS b/c an hour zips by!

Welcome home! Hope you enjoyed your nap -- sounds like you need it. :goodvibes

OH boy did we ever. We all fell asleep from 3 - 6!!! Which is exactly what we did at AKL the day we arrived... and it was great! Everyone got up I made an easy dinner the boys watched 1/2 of Nemo, and went to bed!

Can't wait to hear about your trip!

Thanks! I will get going tonight!

Woo hoo for your cruise being so close!!! I wouldn't even bother unpacking if I were you! :rotfl:
