I have an AP....oh the decisions one must make OY!! How ever will I decide...I want to book my extra room no later than early March LOL!!!
Demanding LOL

...this from the woman who wanted inside spoilers to my TR and no matter how much I tried would not forget LOL

Gotta love us C!!! You are awesome!!!
I know! Maintaining a Disney obsession is tough work! Lots of decisions.
Thanks, LL. I felt like a reporter many times during the trip. I kept thinking to myself - I must capture this for the DIS or oh, my DISers will love this. I thought about all of you often! It was fun having so may people "with me" on a solo trip!
I like your idea- banish the DH's to the value and you and Jen go deluxe!
great pictures of the room!

i like my space too but i don't know if it's worth the money to have 10 extra feet of walking space. but i'm frugile....it's a character flaw.

the theming there is incredible. i love all the warm colors.
No, not a character flaw at all! I agree with you. I'm just easily spoiled.

Thank goodness for an AP discount and free upgrade!
What's it going to take to get you to stop enabling the poor woman LOL!!!!
That is a great idea I'm game LOL!!
Oops hijacking C's thread...hope she'll forgive me LOL
No apologies necessary
Phew...finally caught up!
Awesome upgrade Christine! What a way to make the trip!
Looking forward to hearing all about the TSM Party!
Thanks! It definitely made the trip more magical! Of course now when I go back I will "need" a savannah view!
I can't believe I didn't find this report until now! Doh!
I am doing the same Pop/AKL split stay in October - I hope it goes well.
It looks like you had a similar view to what I had in September at AKL, at first I didn't like having that big gate thing out my window, but it ended up being great.
I can't believe it either!

Just kidding. Happy to have you along! How funny that you are also doing the Pop/AKL split stay. I'm sure you'll love it. Overall, though, I'm still not sure how I feel about the split stay. I didn't really like packing up in the middle. Disney made it as easy as it possibly could be but I kind of like arriving and unpacking and being done with it.
I have my fingers crossed that it means they are opening up more AKL rooms for the 4/3 deal for June 6 -- 13.
It's a lot easier to stay strong when there isn't temptation awaiting me everytime I log onto the DIS.
Post more pics, please, to feed my addiction.

They should be back up and running by tonight.
You are too much! Did you call again? I wonder if they'll be extending the 4/3 deal even further? I hope so!
The room is gorgeous. I'd be kind of miffed about the $15-$100 difference. Wonder what the mods get? $40?
Thanks. Yes, I am seriously in love with that room!
Oooooh! Thanks for the gorgeous pictures of the AKL room! The details and colors are yummy.
My pleasure. It is very calming, relaxing and cozy. Perfect after a busy day in the parks!
My guess would be Disney figures people spending the $$ for deluxes are more likely to spend on DVC so it's a good investment on their part. Those of us who only pay for values are more likely to take the tour out of curiosity (an the free ice cream sundaes

) and take the gift card without really planning on purchasing
That's probably the case. I think what bothered me was that my guide knew I was checking into AKL the next day. From a customer service standpoint, if I were her, I would have just said "look, when you check in tomorrow you're going to see this deal so here you go." I don't think that would have changed my ultimate decision not to purchase but it was in the back of my mnd when I canceled the 2nd appointment. I guess I can hold a grudge!
C...you've been up hours why is there no update LOL!!! (I feel like being a brat this morning LOL)
Okay...let's try this a different way...how about I will update this afternoon when I return from chuch if you have an update waiting for me when I return...what do you say...I need motivation LOL!!!
Okay in all seriousness I'm kidding...I just love your pictures and your TR!!!!
Have a great Sunday my friend!

I have been investigating this
$1/night Disney deal. Have you all heard about it? If not, you MUST investigate... not that I want any competition. From what I can tell you have to formulate a strategy, have your dates and credit card info ready and type/click QUICKLY! Good luck!!
