What a fantastic dinner. A great place for just an adult meal.... and so glad the boys loved their evening too!

Once again... loving the AKL pictures. I must get there this trip!

 

[bcbmom]

What a wonderful update! So happy to hear your Anniversary went so well . With knowing how popular Le Cellier is I didn't even attempt to try!?!...obviously that was a mistake, lol.
I'm so happy to hear the boys loved there night away too, The first picture didn't look like your youngest was too sure, lol. I'm very interested in what's coming next....

 

[dddisrunner]

Aww I am glad you both had such a nice night out alone. And you are right some time without the kids can make a trip so much more magical.

-Becca-

Thanks Becca, we really had a GREAT night!

Great updat and I love all your pics too. Glad the boys enjoyed the kids club and you both liked Le Cellier. When we went I ordered the Chocolate Moose too, so cute. The Canada and flower and garden pics are gorgeous. We have never used a kids club but maybe we might have to think about maybe trying that in the future since Thomas is 4 now.

Hi Nichole! Thanks for all the compliments! That moose is too cute! The kids club is great! I thought it was great having 2 of them there because they could look out for each other! I hope Thomas had a GREAT b-day!

HA! you cracked me up! When I read "chocolate mousse" I scrolled down and there was the picture of a "chocolate MOOSE"! not what I was expecting. Sure looked Yummy! Glad to hear you had a nice anniversary dinner!

That moose is too cute! It was yummy, thanks!

Wonderful pictures! You both look so nice all spiffed up!!!
I'm so happy that your meal went well and that you got time to unwind and enjoy mommy and daddy time!
How old do the kids have to be to go to the club?
Thanks for the great update! Looking forward to more!

Thanks Sunnie! The kids have to be 4 and potty trained to go to the kids club. They have in-room babysitting for kids who aren't 4 yet!

My FAVORITE!! I chocolate moose.

It sounds like you had a wonderful time on your own and so did the boys. You and your husband are a very good looking couple, all gussied up for a night on the town. Did you use a timer on the camera for the pics of the two of you or did someone take them for you?

Awww, thanks Amy! I felt so swollen on this trip, maybe it was from all the red meat! We didn't use a timer, just asked cm's or others to take our pics.!

MMmmmmm! Le Cellier!!! One of our "must go to" restaurants! I loved the food pics! Makes me hungry....can't wait for our trip! I'm so glad you were able to have some alone time and a wonderful dinner. Wow! Your TR has made me so "home-sick" for AKL! We may have to run over for a visit in August!
Can't wait for your next update

LeCellier is AWESOME! Thanks so much for all your compliments! We LOVED AKL, wish I was there now!

I love your trip report! It's the first thing I check when I log on. Because of it, I've changed one of our dinners to Boma. I can't wait!


Keep the report coming!

WELCOME Tracey! Thanks so much for posting! You will LOVE Boma!

Hi! maybe next trip you can do LeCellier, it took us 3 trips to get a ressie! Eric was a little apprehensive at first but warmed up immediately after he saw the playstation!

 

[timandlesley]

Thank you so much for this update. Tim and I have a night out scheduled and you definitely convinced us to keep it, we are so looking forward to it. I loved the AKL pictures again, that pool just looks incredible. Glad you enjoyed LeCellier, we love it too, such a great restaraunt and I LOVE the mushroom filet. I was happy to see the chocolate mousse, I thought that was taken off the menu?
Can't wait for the redemption????

[kathleen27]

So nice you had a grown ups night out!

Le Cellier looks great!
That Moose is adorable. When we make it to Le Cellier I'll have to make sure one of us orders that!

We have never used the Disney kids clubs but we've used them on other trips and loved them. We've always had grandparents with us at Disney. Now one of my kid is too old!

 

[MomofCKJ]

Awwww I am so glad you got a grown ups night out to celebrate your anniversary! I am a HUGE fan of celebrating anniversaries! Marriage is a hard thing and each year should be greatly celebrated! I am glad you had fun at Le Cellier, one of my faves!
Nice installment!

[SunnieRN]

Thank you for the information!! I am thinking in about three years or so when my daughter and son in law go it will be a great option for them. Up until that time, Grandma will be going with them!

DAY 8 DHS REDEMPTION!!

Our wake up call came at 7am and Bryan quickly got dressed and went to the Mara to grab breakfast for all of us! I have to say I LOVED eating breakfast at the parks! So we all got ready and were at the bus stop by 8am. We continued to have good bus mojo and by 8:05 we were on a DHS bus! We got to the turnstiles at about 8:25 and waited!

I had a plan today. It was our last DHS day and I wanted to see Beauty and the Beast and the new parade. We are finally let in...

This is a pic. of the crowd behind us while were watching the opening show...

After the rope drops Bryan and Matthew run to Rock & Rollercoaster and Eric and I fastpass TOT and then wait for Bryan and Matthew. After about 10 minutes they meet up with us and we all ride TOT together...

We then went over to the Great Movie Ride, this was so fun because we got the front row and the CM's really interacted with the boys during the ganster scene and they LOVED it!

We then made our way over to Star Tours. There was a Jedi Academy show going on and I was hoping the boys just wanted to skip it because I couldn't bare them being disappointed again. They didn't want to participate so they rode Star Tours and I grabbed fastpasses for them for later.

Afterwards, we went back to the TOT to use our fastpasses, we got front row this time and it was AWESOME!

Bryan and Matthew wanted to do the Muppets but Eric didn't so they went and Eric and I waited by Pizza Planet for them. It took FOREVER for them to get out of Muppets apparently they were having technical difficulties. Once they came out we ate lunch at Pizza Planet....

We had fun at lunch being silly and of course playing the arcade games!! After lunch Bryan and the boys used their fastpasses for Star Tours and I waited outside for them. Next we went to the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. The boys had never seen this. I volunteered to be an extra and to my surprise I was chosen!!!! I'm sorry Bryan videoed this whole thing so there are no pictures. When I was chosen I had to go up front and give this little shy giggle....so NOT my personality, at this point in our video Bryan is laughing so hard he can't keep the video still. The boys were yelling "your a movie star mom!" It was so cute and I had alot of fun! After Indy it was time for me to head over to the Beauty and the Beast show. Eric then starts crying and says "Mommy please can we try Jedi Training again!" I looked at Bryan and he shook his head yes so we went over to the training academy! I tried to explain that they probably were not going to be chosen and they understood. We only had to wait about 5-10 minutes for the show to start.. Side note here... Everyone says to go to the early morning show, I wouldn't. I would wait until the 1-1:30 show because The Lights, Motor Action show, High School Musical 2 and Beauty and the Beast are all going on at that time. As a result Jedi training was MUCH less crowded! So the Jedi master comes out and he is a different one then the other day! A good sign! He starts choosing kids and low and behold he chose Matthew AND Eric!!!! I was SO HAPPY for them! This Jedi master chose 12 boys and 2 girls and all the boys had some kind of Star Wars shirt on except Matthew! This Jedi master was AWESOME!!! here are some pictures...

It was AWESOME and the boys were thrilled! It might not have been an official dream, but it sure felt like one!!

The boys received these certificates afterwards........

coming up next... A crazy afternoon!!!

[NMAmy]

WOO HOO!!! You know, I think you might be in the running for the best trip EVER, my friend. I was holding my breath that they didn't just pick one of the boys (as I'm sure you were, too, at the time!) I'm sure that would have been a nightmare. And kudos for getting picked for Indy!

Such a great installment--the joy on those little faces at the Jedi Training just made me smile.
