The newlyweds head back to AKL Club level! Now Live May 1-10! Update May 10- MK DHS

It sounds as if you are having a great trip so far and getting a lot accomplished. :goodvibes I'm exhausted just reading about everything you are squeezing into a day. My DH says Disney is not for wimps! :rotfl: Sorry about the hold up on your room cleaning...don't let it ruin the magic. :wizard:
 
hmmm, sounds like your stay so far is not 100% magical :confused3 I agree with you, for all the extra money you spend on CL, you'd think that something as simple as getting your room cleaned would not be a big project??? I hope they finally made it up to your room and you were able to enjoy the rest of your afternoon. Le Cellier was my favorite place we ate our last trip. I'd be happy with just the soup and pretzel sticks! :goodvibes How's your view been? Have you seen any animals? I know you said there were a lot of trees blocking your view and you were further down than last time...I hope you got to see some animals up close and personal today!
 
Well we just got back from another amazing meal at Le Cellier. I could live on the soup, bread sticks and mashed potatoes!

Ill post more in the morning but we had a super hot and busy day at DHS and got a ton done by 1!

I have some lounge pictures I will post. Our view was much better today with some ankole cattle right out front along with a few other types of animals. I haven't seen a giraffe since our check in day and that was in the distance. I saw some zebras under the trees today. We qctually saw way more animals when we walked the Kudu trail yesterday.

But I'm off to bed. Ill post more in the morning before head off to rope drop at AK. Our niece Aurora arrives tomorrow night!

Cheddar Cheese soup:love:
 

So we were at DHS for rope drop. Now something to note when DH and I do rope drop, we make sure we are one of the first few people at the turnstiles because I want to be able to see plus I'm not going to be stuck in the mob of people. At MK we were the 2nd family at Space Mountain. At Epcot we were the first family at Soarin' and yesterday we were first to our FP machine at DHS. I figure we need to take advantage of what we can do pre-children (especially since we hope to have a new addition to our family by next summer!)

So we FP Toy Story Mania and then rode it right away. I beat DH for the first time ever!! Then we booked it over to RnRC with our new friend we met while waiting for rope drop. We rode RnRC and then Tower of Terror and went back to Toy Story to use our first FP and FPed it again! This was all accomplished by 10:15!! :scared1:

I have pretty much no DHS pictures because we were running around plus we have been just using the photopass and not taking out our own camera for some reason.

After FPing TSM for the 2nd time, we rode the Great Movie Ride. Then went over to Disney Animation and met Sorcerer Mickey.

Then we did the drawing class for the first time. We got to vote on who to draw and it was 12 for Pooh and 13 for Mickey. Unfortunately we wanted Pooh! Our drawings were horrible and I am too embarrassed to post them.

We then ate at Pizza Planet which was a normal CS meal and nothing special.

Lastly we saw Beauty and the Beast for the first time.

We were out of the park by 1:15 and then we dealt with the room fiasco until almost 4 which was really annoying. We also signed up for a DVC tour for today.

We left for Epcot around 6pm. We wandered the world showcase until our 8:25 Le Cellier reservation. We checked in at 7:55 and were seated at 8:15. Dinner was awesome. And so far is the only restaurant from this trip that is a must do for our next trip! We were back in the room by 10ish.

Here are some pictures of what I saw from our balcony yesterday. As I said in my previous post, there was actually a good amount of animals outside our balcony yesterday.

Here are a few pictures of the lounge. I still need to take one that has a whole view of it. I plan to take pictures of the evening offerings today.

Plan for the day is AK Rope Drop. Then DVC tour at 2:40. Then the afternoon is open probably dinner again at Earl of Sandwich. Then 2nd Fantasmic show at 10:30.

My brother, sister in law and niece arrive late tonight. We won't see them until tomorrow though. I'm super excited to experience Disney with Aurora! :)
 
On a side note, have you guys seen the new Toy Story Disney Visa designed? I just ordered it! I'm super excited for it!
 
Wow you had a great day at DHS! That's amazing how you seem to be one of the first at rope drop. How early before opening do you arrive? I have to keep this in mind for our August trip! It may be tough to get my kids (teenagers) up, but it's worth it to get a lot done in the morning.

Le Cellier is a must do for us this trip too! And this time I'm determined to get to Earl of Sandwich! Have fun today!

As fun as it is to bring my children, the thought of accomplishing what you guys did is appealing! Have a great day at AK! It's my families fav!
 
Loved the pics of the CL Lounge, first I have ever seen taken from that angle showing the actual Lounge area, not just the food offerings :thumbsup2
Congrates on the future plans announcement hope all goes well for you guys.
I want to try TSM this year, missed it last year the day we went to DHS it was super crowded so we did not stay long, Dinl has panic attacks in super crowded situations :sad2:
I decided to pass on Le Cellier(we have never been) but seems lately to be getting mixed reviews glad you enjoyed it so much, who knows may add it , ADR day for us is next Wednesday.
 
The tour/presentation must have been really good since you decided soon after! Exciting news for you guys!!! :goodvibes
 
Wow! What a day of announcements! Congrats and best wishes!!!
 
Hey guys. Ill update with pictures later (for the first time this trip I was actually able to sleep until our alarm went off so no time this morning.

Yesterday we were at Animal Kingdom from rope drop until 1ish. I miss the old opening show at AK.

We were picked up from AKL at 230 four DVC tour. And weren't done there until 7 but were DVC owners now so its was totally worth it. I'm ready for many many more years of disney!

We ended up back at Earl of Sandwich for dinner. We did some shopping. Bought some ornaments and used our new DVC discount at Basin.

Today we are meeting our family at MK at 830 which is after rope drop which kills me to do but I'm trying this whole be flexible thing.
 
How exciting!! Congratulations! Can't wait to find out when you book your first DVC vacation using your own points :cheer2::cheer2: Hopefully next year I will be a proud owner of DVC but I will miss renting points as I've met online some great DVC owners.
 
We are still at MK. Longest we've been at a park without going back for a break in this heat. Aurora was quite surprised to see us when she walked into magic kingdom!

I finally had my cream cheese pretzel. We have reservations at Jiko at 7pm. I'm ready for some flatbread and goat cheese mashed potatoes!
