OHMYGOSH, I just have to have breakfast at Olivia's one trip!! Makes my mouth water.

It is sooo good to see you enjoying the balcony. You and Tom really needed this right now - and a one bedroom is truly perfection!! I'd love to be able have one when we take Sophia on her first trip , but those darn things are more than 2 rooms. Maybe a great pin code will show up.... looking like not until Feb 2013 anyway.

Great pic with Jen - the Meets have begun!!

Thanks so much for taking the to post for us!

You will love breakfast at Olivia's! It's really yummy and I just love to start off our vacation with the strawberries and cream.

I know what you mean about the price of a 1 bedroom here at OKW. We were so lucky to be able to get the 42% off plus free dining! And we got a 40% off general public offer for the second part - otherwise, no way would we be able to afford to stay here for 17 nights!

Meeting Jen was really good fun!

YAYE Karin, I made it Love all your pix so far & excited to hear that you are having such a magical time! I will definitely continue to follow you, for the next month

Hi Mary Ellen!
It's so good to see you here too! So far we were real lucky with everything, even though we haven't been to the parks much!
Mary Ellen, can you remember what villa you were in when you stayed at OKW - we are on Turtle Pond Road again - building 31!!!

Who was the gift basket from? That was really sweet!

Those pizzas from WPE are making me so hungry right now. I hope to get there on my short trip coming up.

Your villa is gorgeous and I love the views!

That gift basket was from my "bestest" friend, Mary Ellen (jamiesgirl), who just started here on the DISboards.

You need to make it to WPE this trip! Where are you staying during your labour day trip, Abby?

I am checking all my plans and am packed and suitcases in the livingroom !! Tomorrow I will check my bag for the plane to make sure everything I put in there is still thereI am always so afraid of forgeting something important !! I even have copies of the kids birth certificates in case !!I have made the girls show me everything they plan to bring on the plane and told them to ask when we check in at the airport if there "liquids "are okay and if not stick in the checked luggage !! A teenagere without her make up would be a MAJOR disaster I checked and all the bottles are under 3 oz so it should be okay . All the gel and hairspray will be checked !!!

Can't wait till we meet !!I think the girls are definately thinking of coming too , Samantha has eaten at WPE before but not Steph!!! I was gonna go for their meatloaf BUT as I am making it tomorrow before we leave may want something else , but the creme brulee is on !!!!

 

[MamaPotts]

I totally agree with your assessment of OKW... it's our resort of choice for a nice, relaxing vacation!

I guess this will be another long dining review, as we have had quite a lot of yummy food already!

No complaints here!

Glad to hear that your vacation is off to a grand start!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Wow, the time is flying by! I can't believe that you have been there 5 days already!

We keep looking at Mustang convertibles, that may be my next car.

Keep the pictures coming.

 

[cbg1027]

Looks like you got a fun car!

What is the food that looks like a stew in a bread bowl? Where is that from?

You need to make it to WPE this trip! Where are you staying during your labour day trip, Abby?

I really want to get to WPE for the Labor Day trip. I'm coming with my boyfriend and he doesn't want to eat many TS meals (any if he had his way...he'd be happy at Pecos Bill's twice a day ), so I'm hoping I can talk him in to WPE since it's not TS.

We're staying at ASMo.

Have a fabulous, magical trip Rosie!! I can't believe it's time - you have been looking forward to this celebration for so long! I'll miss your send off - I'm leaving for Phoenix tomorrow. Can't wait to see your TR!!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Karin, Looks like a wonderful day at AK!

When you said you changed plans for dinner and then showed a pic of the convertible, I thought you were going to say you decided to get take out and eat in the car! Your dinner at Boatwright's looks really delicious, especially the dessert!!!

I may be mostly out of touch for the next couple of weeks while on vacation, but I'm looking forward to catching up when I get back! By that time you will be Dreaming on the ocean!!!

 

[Stefy]

Oooh loving all the live update pics Hope you guys are having a blast

No wedding nerves yet, just lots of impatience

 

[annmarieda]

Looks like you caught a bunch of the big things at AK.. including Wild Africa Trek again?

Boatwrights looks like it was awesome. I forgot all about that corn bread. YUM! And your desserts look amazing.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Hope you're not melting in the heat - heard it is brutal!

Relax and enjoy! Cruise in just a few days!!!

 

[Teri1]

Hi Karin looks like you and Tom have been quite busy on your vacation. Love the picture of the Mustang, I haven't ridden in a convertible since I was a young child! This is my last breakfast on the balcony watching the ocean waves. Our daughter's wedding was wonderful yesterday, she was absolutely beautiful. We have plenty of pics.

Photoupdate ............. DAY 2, Aug 14

Then it was time for this year's first DISmeet!!!!

Cancelled dinner at the Wave because we were just FAR too tired to go there and did NOT attend EMH at the MK! But we slept very well!

Hey, I KNOW that girl...I hear she's a lot of fun!
I had such a fabulous time with you guys. Thanks so much for making feel at home in your beautiful place!
I must've totally tired you all out. I did way to much shopping at DTD after I left you, but Claire is happy with all I bought.
I was dragging by the end of the night as well.

Thanks again for picking me up and letting me meet up with you two...and for all the wine!!!!! .....

I have to add I think I look 10 pounds thinner in these pictures than the ones from my last day. I must've eaten tooo much this trip!
