Hi gang been lurking for a while and figured you're all such a nice group I just know you're willing to help with any questions.
H and I will be staying at AKL for our 19'th anniversary in Sept. We have no children. We were fortunate to visit Epcot for 2 days for our honeymoon in 1991.
I also got to visit the MK & Epcot in the mid 80's. H visited Disneyland as a child.I actually cried when viewing the free WDW dvd and then again when I opened our personalized maps. I was so excited.
I am more excited about this visit to the most magical place on earth then I was for my 2 previous visits, probably because there was so much other stuff happening on those vacations, and also because we are staying on property this time. I have been dreaming about staying @ AKL on CL and doing the morning safari since I saw Samantha Browns episode on it. However, due to the cost of CL and getting a free dining plan when we booked we chose to reserve a Savahana view but not CL....don't need the snacks and drinks with the free dining plan...saved $210 a nt.
When I booked our ressy I was told that I had a promotional code that gave us the dining plan for free. It wasn't until I started to read these boards that I found out what a promo code was. I had just thought that everyone was getting free dining, until I started seeing everybody asking if Disney was going to offer free dining again this yr.
So here are the plans let's see if we can keep to them better then when we are in Vegas LOL.
We will be driving down from Indianapolis and staying @ Daytona Beach to visit with relatives on Sunday. Then will drive over to WDW on Mon AM. We have 5 day park hoppers. Not certain of which park we will visit that day either AK or DHS. We have the sunset safari booked which starts @ 4pm followed by dinner at Jiko in AKL. This will be one of our highlights as we have both been dreaming of doing this for yr's. EMH @ DHS this nt so may go there after dinner. A few other options are going to Illuminations @ 9pm or watching Wishes from the beach @ Poly. I think that Wishes (from the Poly)sounds so romantic, I wonder if we can have cocktails out there?
Tue's is our anniversary and will most likely wake and have room srvc/breakfast on balcony watching the animals. Or I may run over real quick to MK EMH and ride Space mnt & few other E rides before h gets up. He has inner ear issues and can't ride the e rides....but I love em. No definite plans during the day again. 6 pm Dinner ressy's in Queen Victorian room @ Victoria's & Alberts (another highlight). Hope to go out and view Electric Water pageant afterwards. Any suggestions for viewing spots for this from G.F. hopefully with a cocktail?
Also any recommendations for nice lounges for drinks in the area?Wed Drinking our way around the world @ Epcot then 7:30pm ADR @ Ca. Grill with a view of wishes.
Thur Epcot and MK. 6:30 pm ADR @ Le Cellier then over to MK and Spectromagic parade. If we have already seen Illuminations by this point then I'm thinking the Wishes dessert party would be nice if still going on. Maybe DTD afterwards.
Fri we check out of AKL but, still have a day left on passes so I'm thinking of booking Buena Vista Suites and cancelling the ressy's we have over in Daytona Beach. Thus allowing us another day at the parks...which would be great since Epcot is having EMH until midnight.
An suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. Waving bye bye
HVE A FANTASTIC TRIP!!
