...God will make a way- he always does.

When it rains..... call it pixie dust and just banana dance!

...I think the proper saying is: "When it rains, make lemonade."...or, was I thinking of the OTHER one: "When life gives you lemons, open the window.".... I forget ...whatever.

Hello everyone! Such a family thing going here, love it!

Super excited to say we just booked a DVC split stay at Bay Lake Tower 2bedroom for 4 nights and then move to a 2 bedroom AKV-Jambo set up for 3 nights to close up our trip! SO excited to stay at AK! Last trip, I was the only one that had the energy to "swing" by AK to have a look at it, so no one else has ever seen it! Are they going to be surprised or what...

I hate to do this but I have to start with the dreaded " I know this has been answered and asked before....." but honestly this thread is SO long and I'm WAY to lazy to go through it all right now!

I have a couple questions hoping someone can answer.

1. Staying in 2 bedroom Jambo villa savannah view--- my favorite animal, by far, is the giraffe so would LOVE to be able to see one from the room. Of course I know this is all about the kids right? But MOM really wants to see a giraffe.... any suggestions on the best savannah request? Of course I would also love to be fairly close to the pool. I guess what I'm asking is what is the "dream/cream of the crop" savannah 2 bedroom you can get.

2. Can you wear "park" clothes (either shorts and tees or jeans and tees depending on the weather in early march) into Jiko or do we need to get fancied up before going?

3. Time it takes and easiest route to DTD?
same but for mini golf at the summer/winter course?
Same but for getting to Hoop Dee Doo?

I promise I will do a newbie at AK TR when we are there. 269 days to go!
thank you all so much!!!!

Jiko has a sign posted out side of the main entrance and by the checkin stand that states it is business casual

We were there this past Saturday night and my DS wore shorts and my DD wore jeans. The rest of us were business casual.

Sounded that way when I left.

I was the one to tow it to the shop, and when DH called later to ask "how'd it go?" I don;t think he was too pleased to hear "they were mumbling something about the computer not registering at all..." OUCH.

I wonder who would exchange my vacation-planning skills for a down-payment on a new car.

...uhhhhhh,

[dgbg100106]

If any of you belong to the June planning thread, forgive me for making you listen to this twice...

We're leaving in a day and a half and OF COURSE DH's car breaks down.

I've decided to go against my character COMPLETELY, and respond to the situation this way: "Ok, if something BAD is wrong with it, we'll tow it back home, leave it in the yard while we're on vacation, and the day we come back... we buy a new car."

Can we afford it? no.
Am I going to let it "infect us" for ths next week? NO WAY

God will make a way- he always does.

When it rains..... call it pixie dust and just banana dance!

Afternoon All - hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful weekend!!! So, DS was looking at my Mickey Monitor - I was showing him the SWW AP pin - (that Brandi is picking up for me - if she can find it) AND we saw that on June 3, 4, 5 - they are giving away FREE Star Tour lanyards to AP holders - IF anyone is going then, and you have no use for the lanyard - would you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider picking one up for DS - I'd be forever greatful!!!!!!

Thanks SO much!!!


*** EDIT - just heard from Brandi - she DID get the pin - YAY!!!! I'm so glad she was able to find it!

For anyone that is going and looking for the merchandise..... it is ONLY available at Hollywood Studios, and if you go to the Rock in Rollercoaster like you have a fast pass, you will see an entrance in the fence to "Jobbas Hut" this is were you need to go, it is a huge tent behind the fence, They have EVERYTHING in there.

I am back and all caught up.....

now back to business and to the TR.... Maybe I will take a page from Kimmar's book and make you wait for it...

That wouldn't be fair -- we want to know NOW!!!

Oh geez, sorry about the heat -- but it's ridiculously hot up your way now too, isn't it?

Glad you had a great trip!

Add me for August 28-31, but a "?" for where I'm staying - not sure yet! I booked my flights though -- first one out in the morning (7am) on 8/28 and last one out in the evening (9pm) on 8/31! My AP expires on 8/29 and I wanted to be there to renew it in person!!! (that's my story and I'm sticking with it!! )

Yes the heat up here right now is awful! The humidity is the worst part 88%, we are having some brown outs, people don't have a way to cool themselves, it is really bad...

I have added you to the list... Twice in August aren't you lucky!
