5 days!! 5 Days!! Did you hear me!!??? *runs around the room waving arms*

Wow you on 5 sleeps now? Omg more like runs down the street waving arms. Well I think you have only 2.5 sleeps to go due to my formula below..

When days to Disney < 7 sleeps then divide the amount of nights by half. Because when it's less than a week I can't sleep most nights due to either excitement, packing and repacking or mentally making lists...

The enthusiasm around here is CDC investigation level contagious!!

My October trip has moved to the back of my mind....until today, that is!

Thank you

Thank you - I'm so excited. Trouble is, I know it will be over way too fast I've got to enjoy the waiting and then every moment while we are there
Trips will be less frequent next year, as I take my daughter to visit colleges on weekends and over school breaks.
I've got to get a big fix this trip

i need to "let go" of my worry. I want smack in the middle of the giraffe trail / lobby level so I have a pool view without looking at rooftops.

Thanks for posting the lengthy review! Congrats on the upgrade, and I'm glad you liked the trip so much. Also ducking, neither my wife nor I were crazy about the zebra domes, either, but we also LOVED the other desserts at Boma!! Funny, isn't it?

Regarding the Savanna view, I think that is also where people's opinions will vary. First off, I always say if you have to break the bank to pay for the upgrade, then don't. I say the same thing about MK view at the CR, BW view at BWV/BWI, etc. But if it is within your price range, I think it is really incredible. BUT, maybe it is because we had the Arusha view at Jambo? I think Sunset at Jambo has less animals? We saw giraffes every day. Lots of them. Same with the zebra, gazelles, antelopes, etc. This was a normal pic from our stay in April. I will say the best viewing times started around 2 or 3 pm and ended at 6 or 7pm. If you're not in the room during those times, I would NOT even think of booking the Savanna view!!!

Loved the photo! Your viewing tips are helpful, I will keep them in mind.

What's wring with going for the best! You work hard you go for it girl! Hope you get all of the above plus a little bit of pixie dust more
