DH and I are both 36 and this is our second marriage. We delayed going on vacation for 2 months due to obligations at work so this was a much needed vacation.
August 31- Sept 4
Now for the short and sweet..

Thursday I had to work but Dh had took 2 weeks off to get ready for the trip. I had pack a month ago so all he did was purchase toothbrushes and underwear. ( and a surprise for me!!



Because I get leg cramps and it I just love baths. I called the front desk. I was told the onlything available was on the 1st flr (does the akl have a 1st flr?). At this point I told him to upgrade me to anything available and we would pay the difference. We went on hold so long when I turned around DH was sleep again.

He finally came back and said that they wouldnt have anything until tomarrow and we would have to move in morning so I said never mind we would stay put. 10 min later Robert called and said that we could move to the 5th floor poolview deluxe at no extra charge..


So we were off to a very magical stay..

I ate the shrimp and the 6 fries that came with it and he had african stew which he loved .(not quite the romantic dinner I planned but it was good enough) By the time we got done wondering around the lodge and checking it out the fruit and candy basket I ordered had arrived but still no luggage.
FRIDAY
Luggage!!! We slept late and went to epcot no waiting for anything ate lunch at Lotus Blossom Cafe--We had spicy beef and Fried rice very good
We had drinks at San Angel Inn..very romantic but the food was not good at all nothing we at agreed with us later

SATURDAY
Saturday was MGM day and we decided that we would get a early start and made it to the park at 8:30 Rode all the rides and took pictures and was done by 12:00 the park was dead in the morning and was closing early for a concert so I dont think anyone bothered.

We decide to take the art tour but no one showed up so we hung out in the room until it was time for the culinary tour at JIKOs. The chef Dave was wonderful and explained the cultures and different food at JIKOS and Bomas. I would never have tried the different things unless I knew what it was it was wonderful and we had dinner at Bomas after that. We were STUFFED and then we had the Hddr at 9:30 we had the best time.


SUNDAY
Sunday was MK day and I didnt have anything scheduled so we hung out at the lodge. I love AKL but at night it creeps me out so we walked around a lot during the day.

I started to notice that Dh Really isnt feeling well and is having a had time with his asthma, he is very tired and trying his best not to ruin my trip. So I let him sleep in and go down to Maras to get breakfast. He eats but goes right back to sleep. I go down to see how much it would be to catch a cab to Walmart and was told $50 round trip.


I went right to the room. Anyone staying around room 5462 on 9/3 I am so sorry for all the noise. Not only was he awake but he was worried and upset because I didnt tell him where I was and he couldnt get a signal on his cell from the lodge. Boy was he mad



We ate at cosmic rays and later at crystal palace. Cosmic rays wasnt as good as I remembered we shared a chicken and rib platter and the ribs didnt taste good. Crystal Palace was very good. It was emh at MK and the park was crowded. We grabbed a dole whip and went back to downtown disney for the clubs. After being stuck at contemp for 30 min we just went back to the lodge to pack for tomarrow.
MONDAY
DH was feeling much better today and was up really early, he wanted to get a early start and today was checkout. so we finished packing and decided not to leave a tip for mousekeeping because we tipped everyday and the candy that we left on the floor by the table on friday, was still there meant she had not been cleaning just making the bed up and giving us soap. the table had crumbs on it and I clean up a lot everyday. We decided to move our breakfast plans to 7 am at bomas to go to AK. and boy was I glad we did the sufari was wonderful all the animals were out and we got to ride the everest with hardly any wait.
