Scott & Vinny: 13 days of Magic..UPDATED *NEW* 3/4 (The End)

[scottny]

I don't think he will. By the time they go again he should have outgrown some of his problems. My daughter may actually rent a house the next time they go and stay off-site. He found out that he can get a house through work I think for $250 for a week. At that price it would be worth it for them.

That is a good price for a week rental.

I'm surprised too! Pop is okay but I find it noisy and buses have always been a nightmare when we visit. I guess I just don't have good luck with neighbors at this resort. I do think the theme is cute and it's good enough on a short trip when you mostly be park commando. But for our family of 4 we do like a relaxing resort and bigger room. AOA Lion King section looks awesome! I would love to stay there sometime! Great pictures!

it really was not noisy at all but it could have been our location. No issues on the bus, twice we had to stand.
Well I will say the people upstairs must have been on their honeymoon.
For a larger group I would think it is small.
AofA suites I find so expensive. I would rather rent dvc points and stay at one of them.
Thanks.

I am enjoying all the AoA pics. Very glad Vinny liked Pop!!! We LOVE Pop!! I was talking with DH last night about changing our trip (shocker I know) I would like to try F&G...and to save $$ I suggested Pop or AoA...he said April or May isn't hot enough to swim (how quickly he forgets our May 2012 trip with the 90 degree weather ) and he said I have the kids all excited for YC...so no changing..

But AoA is brand spankin new and I love the theming...I guess I will just keep drooling over your TR

I am completely shocked.
Vinny says the same thing about the weather and swimming.
From YC that would be a big price saver.
Wait for the night pics, they are some of my faves.

I'm happy to hear that Vinny gave Pop two thumbs up. Hopefully, you can book a stay there for Gay Days/Star Wars weekends. Do you know your dates yet? We may be there at the same time.

Wow! I love all of your pictures of AoA. I am trying to figure out a way to get my group over there to walk around next trip.

Great report

It is probably where we will be staying. I think 5/31-6/3 or something close to that.
Definitely should. It is really nice to look at. Tell them the food is good. it is.

Great report

Thanks and welcome.

I can't wait for the night pics!!! DH and I took a stroll at Pop (kiddos and DMIL fast asleep) it was beautiful!!! AoA wasn't open yet unfortunately..we went Memorial Day weekend and Pop wasn't crowded at all for what I expected!!!

 

[Lesprivate]

I've never seen having to use your room key to access the pool. I wonder if they will all be doing that eventually?

At BLT you also need a key to access their pool.

The Lion King area is so wonderful, I am a resort snob but actually would love to stay here just for the themes. I am glad Vinny enjoyed it.

it is further down the road. Much further.
I was surprised at how unbusy it was. Maybe mor epeople are staying at mods.

there are several pools like that.

Vinny enjoyed POP wait till AofA.

 

[scottny]

When we last met I had just finished my dinner and we were starting to head back to POP.

Mine, mine, mine.

Smile for the camera. LOL

I have no idea why I took this pic.

Swim little fishy.

Here is the map of the resort.

Then we started to head back to POP.

Vinny pretending he knew which way to go.

Let’s dance.

And that was the last photo for the night. Vinny did go down and buy himself some aloe and he had dinner.
Ent: Shrimp Lo Mein.
Total $7.25 with the TIW discount.

Now also I did buy teeth medicine. My wisdom tooth was really killing me so I bought their version of orajel and it worked within a day in a half. I was so happy. It hurt. LOL

For the rest of the night we watched tv and slept.

Sorry for such a boring day but I guess the first 5 days caught up to us.

Up next,

Day 7 begins.

P.s. Vinny also informed me he HATED AofA. He thought the resort was nice but did not like how people were behaving. He was really turned off and we move there in 5 days.

I take pics of random foliage. I always wonder why afterwards. It's not as bad as taking a picture of my sock though.

Does Vinny ever walk with you? He always seems to be ahead.

AofA looks really nice but I'm not sure staying in the Little Mermaid rooms would be worth the walk.

What were the people doing that had Vinny upset? Can't wait to see how he likes the move there.

 

[mickeyfan71]

AoA is so cute! Will check it out for sure!
Oh no-wonder what Vinny thought when y'all moved there!

 

[eandesmom]

Fun lunch, fun meet, fun stroll thru AoA!

Other than running late to lunch and bell services giving you a bit of lip about calling the night before (never heard of that either!), a very fun day so far!

I have never taken a pic of a sock, I think.
You have seen him in action, no he does not.
The walk is really not so bad. It is the same as POP.
I honestly don't know. He just said he didn't like the vibe.

AoA is so cute! Will check it out for sure!

it was really cute.
we are days away so you will have to wait.

it was just fun. it was a fun day and relaxiong.
I never heard of making an appointment before and threw us for a loop.

Nice trip around Art of Animation. I can picture myself walking around there through those pictures - hearing the kids splashing in the pool, grabbing a snack in the food court, shopping in the Ink and Paint Shop. It was a nice little visit/treat on this cold Tennessee morning when I am getting ready to go to school.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Uh oh, hopefully people were on better behavior during your stay at AOA!!!

Glad the Orajel worked..ugh 1 1/2 days though

Oh Boy....Sorry Vinny didn't like AoA..hope he liked it once you moved there...It is a shame that guests can sway our opinions of a resort...all about the experience...

I enjoyed the walk but the nighttime one later I enjoy more being I am alone.

wait and see.

that was after a day already with the pain. I am happy it did go away.
that is so true.

 

[scottny]

A new day is upon us. Do you see my wallpaper? I could not change it back for days. I have no clue why but I have had issues with my phone.

We went up to have breakfast. Nothing liking rushing. LOL. Now we are the dining plan. On Thursday we come off it again.

Here are our breakfast choices.
Scott:
Ent: Pancakes with Meat $5.59

Drink: OJ

Vinny:
Ent: Chocolate Filled Croissant $2.99
Drink: Coffee
The meal was average. Reminded me of McDonalds breakfast.
After breakfast we left and went to the buses.

The sky on this day.

Yep that is right we are going back to MK.

It was us and maybe 3 more people in the park. LOL

Oh no it wasn't, they were all following Mary Poppins.

EEK!! Where did everyone come from?

The Castle show was just ending.

We walked along the side with Cosmic Ray’s and we saw the line for Merida was not long (as opposed the last time we were here) so we got in line.

The area where she is. Cute area for kids to do some stuff including practicing archery.

I can see her up there.

Then I looked up.

The décor was very nice.

Then it was our time. The CM as we waited told Vinny to speak whale. They also did this to the people in front of us or I would have been insulted. LOL.

Anyway here we are.

Con't...

 

[scottny]

Now the photopass pics.
Merida and Vinny meeting.

After meeting her we walked and came to the well. Vinny was convinced he never saw it before but I have pics of him by it. LOL

Then he posed.

Then it was my turn.

I think I will stop here being I am not sure where I am on the photo count.

Up next,

Be Our Guest
