There is something so relaxing about AKL...especially at night. Can't wait for EPCOT and Illuminations.

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

The AKL lobby is simply AMAZING!! Love that picture. The whole place looks so cozy. I definitely want to stay there next time.

What class are you taking this summer? I think it's so cool you're going back to school!

Forgot to ask, the AI attraction is no where near as bad as Sounds Dangerous...right? I'm sure I'm going to love the AI thing. After all, I have to go on it for all the AI people on the boards. Haha.

Again, there was a beautiful sunrise when I woke up. Of course we were up early again. Tonga Toast was calling my name!!

While getting ready, I heard one of the animals making noise. I went out on the balcony to see what it was. I believe it was the Marabou Stork. It sounded like he was doing some type of mating call or something. IDK. Anyway while he was doing his thing, some White-Bearded Wildebeest starting walking towards him, and then just stopped and stared at him. It looked like they were saying shut up and go back to bed LOL. The stork turns around and starts flapping his wings at them. Of course Tim commentates the animals.

Wildebeest- "Shut up, we want to sleep"

Stork- "What, what you want, you want a piece of this"

It was funny. Tim had me cracking up lol.

Before we headed down to the bus stop, Tim took my picture on the balcony.

I love soaking in the morning sun.

Aww a Giraffe

When we got down to the bus stop, it was empty. We were going to take the MK bus and go on the monorail over to the POLY, but we saw the Epcot bus first and hopped on that instead.

WOO HOO I was anxious to get to the poly

I figured we could just hop on the monorail from Epcot. When we got to the monorail it was empty there too. People were lining up for rope drop to get into Epcot.

YAY it was here!!!! We waited about 10 minutes.

and got to sit up front. Our monorail driver must have been very tired because he was so quiet lol. He didn't really talk and seemed sort of moody lol. It was early so I can't blame the guy, maybe he was just having a bad day. I said to Tim, we have to see Jim on this trip some time. He is our favorite monorail man.

When we got to the Ticket Transportation Center, we decided to walk to the POLY. It's such a nice walk!!!

When we got into Captain Cookes, it was not that busy in there at all.

Here it is!! YUMMY!

HMMMMMM soo good!!

HAHA Tim was banging his fists on the table in the background LOL.

Of course it was amazing!! We just ordered one and shared it because we were going to have lunch at Beirgarten at noon.

After that we walked around the POLY, and headed back to the TTC. We passed The Samoa building, that was where we stayed on our honeymoon, aww.

At the TTC, I did not find Jim. Oh well. I was determined to find him though. We met him on our honeymoon when we stayed at the POLY. We saw him almost every morning when we would get on the monorail.

I was so excited to see the flowers at Epcot this year. I loved the theme!!

Awww Cinderella!!

Sp pretty!! Of course we had to hit up photopass!

This is with our camera

and photopass

They had us do the Cinderella and Prince charming pose, I was cracking up the whole time, so I ruined the picture lol.

CONT.....

 

[Lynn5700]

Oh that bird was an East African Crowned Crane...sorry about that.

 

[tinkgurl]

Hahahaha, Tim is hilarious. That does look like what the animals are saying to each other!

Yum, Tonga Toast!

[lizet313]

[Lynn5700]

AKL has such a beautiful lobby...its even better at Christmas time! You should check it out sometime when its all done up for the holidays! We've never swam in the three times we've been to disney. We did however manage to get to the pool on the disney cruise so that was nice! Thank you for the prayers...there are many coming our way and I am crossing my fingers we are getting closer to an answer! I can't wait to hear about epcot and the pixie dust you mentioned!

Oh I bet!! Tim and I have to go during Christmas one year. Oh the Disney Cruise pool is awesome!!!!

Yeah I do hope you guys get some answers soon.

Great photos I am really loving AKL its beautiful. Can't wait to go there.

You will love it!!

Great mini update I wasn't able to read the whole story but the parts I did read are great. All your pictures are amazing. I love them. The birds are very cute sleeping.

Yeah it's hard to se, I should have used the flash, but I wanted to get the natural lighting.

Aww they were cute.

I can't wait to go to AKL. It looks beautiful.

It really is!

Oohhh, the firepit looks like a great way to end the day!!! Can't read the story, hope someday I'll be able to stay there and read it myself!!

It is so nice and cozy by that pit, I love it. I hope you get to too.

I'm not sure what took me so long to find my way over here but I am really enjoying your TR. I lurked around on your wedding TR after you were finished but I'm looking forward to following this one as you go!

Hi!! Thanks for reading!!!

Wow, AKL is even beautiful at night!

It is!!!

The AKL is beautiful! I can't wait to see your Illumination pictures!

You will love them Tori, and will be happy you are getting the camera.

There is something so relaxing about AKL...especially at night. Can't wait for EPCOT and Illuminations.

Yeah I agree, it's so nice and peaceful at night.

The AKL lobby is simply AMAZING!! Love that picture. The whole place looks so cozy. I definitely want to stay there next time.

What class are you taking this summer? I think it's so cool you're going back to school!

I think you will love it there!!

I'm taking pre algebra in the summer LOL. I'm horrible with math so I needed to start back at the bottom. So this class is just developmental and does not count, but it's ok. Once I get back into it, and get refreshed I will be fine. In the fall I have four classes. Art, Psychology ( I am going to love this class), Algebra( after this class in the spring I will be in college math and those credits will count), and English. I can't wait.

OMG NO! Sounds Dangerous is awful. I think you will like it.

Lynn! You look gorgeous in that picture on the balcony! Love the hair idea!

Hahahaha, Tim is hilarious. That does look like what the animals are saying to each other!

Yum, Tonga Toast!

Hey, we've stayed in the Samoa building too!

Thanks, I love that dress. I bought it at Express, it is super comfortable. They have it in a ton of colors. I chose pink cause it's bright and summery.

Yeah you do need to ride it lol!

 

[lizet313]

I love express I haven't gone there in a while no money.

Well hopefully in July I will go on a Shopping Spree.


I think of the Monorail as a ride I was super excited when I saw that it was connected to Mk Epcot and the Resorts.


Love your TR your very good at writing TR's I just hope I can be that good when I start mine in March. Right now I'm just in PTR mode.


Well waiting to hear more

I took some pictures of the topiaries, so pretty!!

Beauty and the Beast

Sleeping Beauty

I love this, Cinderella's carriage!

and snow white and the seven dwarfs

You have to get a picture of Space Ship Earth AKA the Big Golf Ball! lol

We made our way over to the land to grab some fast passes for Soarin.

These topiaries were new. cute.

I LOVE this!!!

Made it to The Land, it was not too crowded in there.

I don't really remember the exact time of our FP return, I want to say it was around 11ish because we went on before we went to lunch.

It was time to hit up Club Cool!!! I took a picture of the fountain before going in!

Nobody was in there when we got there LOL!! Sweet!!

here is Tim having some Kinley! That is is favorite, mine too. I love that and Smart.

Oh darn, Beverly was out of order LOL.

We headed over to Nemo after that, wanted to stay in the area before going on Soarin.

Mine! Mine! Mine!

We did not wait long in line. I tried to take some pictures in there, but they did not come out very good while on the ride. I need the nifty fifty lens.

After the ride, we went and looked at the fish, then I had to get my picture with Bruce. LOL.

Clown Fish, I love them.

Oh no... creepy

This guy was cool

Aww the manatees, they seem so sweet. He was eating a head of lettuce.

Bruce!!!

Oops forget to take the evil red eyes out, oh well lol.

CONT...

[princess&her4princes]

Loving this update, Lynn! That dress is beautiful on you, the color is just perfect and the balcony pics are the best! You take such nice pics!!! Love Tim's commentary on the animals this morning and you crack me up....they were mating or something...lol!! Just what you wanted to wake up too!!

Can't wait to hear more.......

ps- did you ever find Jim?

 

[Girldreamer02]

Love all the pictures of the topiaries! My faves are the cinderella with prince charming and mickey with the broomsticks! I think we need to try and go in may one year so we can see some cool topiaries! Love the pictures of the fountain too...that had big walls up around it when we went in jan for a refurb...i just figured jan was refurb time b/c we saw refurb signs at each park in jan. Kind of a slow time so it makes sense. Love the picture of you with bruce! Can't wait to hear about the rest of the day!

 

[lizet313]

Great pics like always the Topiaries are so cool.

 

[PopArtGal]
