AKLGoofy said:....P.S. I was going to do a "short" version for folks that won't be interested in as much reading as there is to do. I have 12 pages of text now and we haven't even gotten to Ragland Road (our first dinner) yet... Yeah, I know.. I'm wordy.. what can I say. But Susan read some of it and thought it was entertainingly written enough that most folks probably wouldn't mind...
AKLGoofy said:You know, the more I think about it the more I think I should give you fine folks a taste of my "style"... just in case you find that, after all this patient *ahem* waiting you just can't stand to read my writing. So, without further ado, here is the opening:
10th Wedding Anniversary Trip

As I begin this narrative, I am struck by the wide array of information I wish to convey. My goal is for this not just to be a chronological listing of events we engaged in, but rather, a comprehensive recitation of our thoughts and our feelings while experiencing all the magic that a Disney vacation can be.
With that in mind, what you will read here will be laid out chronologically. It will also contain photographs when appropriate, hopefully in a couple of different sizes for those of you on slower internet connections.
What this report will not contain:
1. Cute kid stories we have no children and would not have been able to have this experience if we did and we try to avoid paying attention to other peoples children (these days that can get you into real trouble).
2. Details/photos of unimportant meals A barbeque sandwich is a barbeque sandwich, dont care where you eat it.
3. Excessive use of acronyms I do not know, nor will many people reading this know, all the acronyms thrown around by the many Disney vets out there, thus this must be written for the lowest common denominator.
4. Names of cast members we felt were less than magical in attitude/service.
In order to read this report you will need:
a. Patience I do not think in single-syllable words or simple sentences and am not a professional writer. You are going to get it just as it flies out of my brain and through my fingers.
b. A soft chair This will be thorough not only for the sake of those that like details and asides, but for our sake as well since Im getting old and my rememberer doesnt work as well as it used to. It will be nice to eventually print this all out, bind it and stow it in the box with the dusty mouse ears and dried flowers.
c. Something to drink Wouldnt want to dehydrate while were living vicariously through others, now would we?...

I can't decide what to do though. I don't know if I would be satisfied in the standrad view room or not. I decided that I'm for sure going to cancel my MYW+Free dining package that I have for CBR and just go with a room only ressie there. I will save $570 by canceling the package. I'm sure I can eat for way less than that while I'm there with my DDE card. What to do What to do...

Hope that is enough to buy me a little time!

wintergreen said:Just back from a 3 night stay in a pool view room at AKL. It was fabulous! The only problem I ran into was a very disappointed DD, when she saw that we did not have a savannah view room like we did the last time we stayed there. Guess I should have warned her in advance!!
