This is the last trip the 4 of us ever take to WDW. Nov 2-12 *FinalUpdate 3/19* Pg.59

[that's nice]

When I last left off, (ummm when was that again?) we had spent the day at AK- seeing shows, riding rides, and eating treats. It was time to say goodbye to AK and take a short drive over to AKL for our dinner reservation at Boma. We had never eaten there and I wasn't sure what to expect. I just love walking into this resort.

AKL restaurants...

We had some time to check out the animals on the savanna before eating.

Not sure of the look Christopher was going for here...

The kids (Juliana) saw a CM handing out sticks for 'smores and they (Juliana) were begging us to have one. I'm not sure if we were being bad parents but we said no. We were about to eat a huge dinner.

Our ADR time was getting close so we had to head back inside.

We checked in and we had about a 10-15 minute wait for our table to be ready.

Once we sat down it was time to chow!

I see Juliana found some ketchup...

Christopher was happy to eat too!

I got a St. George beer. It was very light.. almost like a Bud. It wasn't bad but I was hoping for something with more flavor.

I didn't take any pictures of my food (due to my refusal to photograph my buffet plates) but the food was very very good.

I need 6 of these chairs for my dining room.

I did take pics of my dessert. I ate about 10 zebra domes- so many I could of even been drunk after.

We had a great dinner and it was getting late. We went back to CSR and I helped get the kids to bed. Then I did what every other great husband would do, head to DHS to meet up with a DISdad and hang out with him for EMHs!!!

I hopped on a bus and was at DHS before I knew it. The Christmas tree was lit up! They waste no time changing from Halloween to Christmas.

As I was walking in, the majority of the crowd was walking out.

I was walking around looking for Ron.

Found him!

We had a great time! We rode Star Tours 3 times, TSM 2 times, and I had fun just chatting with him and his DS. We closed the park down. It was a fun night. I hopped a mostly empty bus back to CSR. I needed to get to sleep- we had a busy day planned at MK and I was shot!



Up next... Would we, could we make rope drop?

Mr. Tim we've missed you around here!

happy you enjoy your meal at Boma and time at AKL, even though you didn't let Juliana get a s'more

nice getting to ride all the rides with Ron and his DS that night!

hope everyone is doing great!

 

[KatMark]

Great update, Tim. Walking into the AKL leaves me in awe every single time. Just stunning.

So you liked your meal at Boma for dinner? What did Mel think? We've never done dinner, just breakfast.

No, you weren't being a bad parent...must not spoil the appetite of the young ones.

That picture of Christopher with the sunglasses is telling you that HE IS THE MAN!

How fun that you got to do some rides and have some DISdad time. I'm sure Mel was tired anyway due to her condition at the time.

Let's hope we don't have to wait so long for the next update. xoxoxoxo

 

[wiigirl]

Great update...love the pics!

 

[that's nice]

Mr. Tim we've missed you around here!

Thanks Lisa... it's been crazy around here.

I've missed all of you too!

happy you enjoy your meal at Boma and time at AKL, even though you didn't let Juliana get a s'more

With Juliana if she had 1 it would of turned into 2, into 3, into not eating dinner.

nice getting to ride all the rides with Ron and his DS that night!

It was fun hanging out with him.... we hit a ton of rides in 2 hours.

hope everyone is doing great!

We are hanging in here. The baby has refused her bottles while Mel has been working this week. It has been a few stressful days.

Great update, Tim. Walking into the AKL leaves me in awe every single time. Just stunning.

I can't wait for the next time I walk in there.

So you liked your meal at Boma for dinner? What did Mel think? We've never done dinner, just breakfast.

I liked it a lot. I got to try some food I'd never order and everyone else was able to keep it 'safe' or try something new too. I think she liked it but would probably pick other restaurants before it.

No, you weren't being a bad parent...must not spoil the appetite of the young ones.

WOW... figured you'd yell t me for not giving her one.

Yea, she was beat. I'm the night owl and she needs to get to bed early.

Let's hope we don't have to wait so long for the next update. xoxoxoxo

If I can figure out photobucket you just might get another update soon.

Great update...love the pics!

Thanks for reading!!!!!

 

[afwdwfan]

When I last left off, (ummm when was that again?)

Forget when the update was... when did this trip take place again???

Not sure of the look Christopher was going for here...

I don't know, but I think he probably got away with pulling it off, whatever it was.

I see Juliana found some ketchup...

One of the major food groups!

I did take pics of my dessert. I ate about 10 zebra domes- so many I could of even been drunk after.

Cheaper than buying enough beer to do the job.

Then I did what every other great husband would do, head to DHS to meet up with a DISdad and hang out with him for EMHs!!!

Good call!

Up next... Would we, could we make rope drop?

Better question... Will the rest of the family be able to drag Tim out of bed after his late night?

guess that was a good call on the s'mores then

hope the baby settles into feeding without mama around...just keep breathing!

so when is your next trip down to WDW???? Princess G needs to make her first royal appearance!

 

[petals]

An update woohoo

Luvin the pics. That pic of Gabriella in the minnie suit is to cute.

 

[Poolrat]

Whoo Hoo Tim- Glad things have calmed down a little so you could get back to the DIS.

I have done Boma a long time ago for breakfast. Need to fit in a dinner but I am a bit leery.


Way to ditch the wife and kids and go out and play. Nah - glad you could go and have some nighttime fun with a DIS meet. Those are always fun...

 

[KatMark]

WOW... figured you'd yell t me for not giving her one.

No, you shouldn't have given her one. However, if I had been there, I would have given her one because as her adopted aunt it is my duty to spoil her.

 

[Woth2982]

Yay an update! First, I cannot believe how BIG Julianna and Christopher have gotten since your last post 100 years ago! Gabriella is very cute! Congrats to you and your family! I cannot imagine how hectic it must be at your house! I am sure Julianna is a big help!

Second, AKL is very pretty! I stayed there in Jan, the hotel definitely has that relaxed feel you want on vacation. I have never been brave enough to eat at Boma. I am an incredible picky eater, but seeing this review has given me second thoughts about it. How fun you got to go hang out with another dad! I love DHS at night. So great it was practically empty for you! I am amazed you got on TSM twice! I just got back from Disneyland and it is amazing at the difference in the lines for that ride and the LM ride. NO lines at all there!

Tim, your readers know you well.

 

[jedijill]

Glad to see an update! Christopher is rocking those shades!

Looks like a good day had by all.

Huh? What were we talking about again? You guys went to Disney World??? When was this? It's been so long since the last update you've probably had enough time to make another baby by now.

LOVE AKL! So glad you enjoyed the meal.

And nice work on the DISDad meet-up.

 

[that's nice]

Forget when the update was... when did this trip take place again???

All I know is it happened sometime int he last 35 years.

I don't know, but I think he probably got away with pulling it off, whatever it was.

One of the major food groups!

The kid could eat ketchup for a meal.

Cheaper than buying enough beer to do the job.

Better question... Will the rest of the family be able to drag Tim out of bed after his late night?

Of course... thats not hard.

guess that was a good call on the s'mores then

hope the baby settles into feeding without mama around...just keep breathing!

She did better today but I wasn't home. My MIL was here.

so when is your next trip down to WDW???? Princess G needs to make her first royal appearance!

Soon. Very soon.

An update woohoo

Luvin the pics. That pic of Gabriella in the minnie suit is to cute.

Hey there stranger! Hope everything is well with u!!!

Whoo Hoo Tim- Glad things have calmed down a little so you could get back to the DIS.

Hey Pat!!

I have done Boma a long time ago for breakfast. Need to fit in a dinner but I am a bit leery.

I think they have plenty of 'normal' food to keep a picky eater happy.

Way to ditch the wife and kids and go out and play. Nah - glad you could go and have some nighttime fun with a DIS meet. Those are always fun...

Yes, most DIS meets happen during the nighttime hours.

Yea, it is a bit crazy here... but we are getting the hang of being a family of 5. We'll get it down pat someday.

You are taking vacations right and left!

I'm glad you liked AKL. This is on the list of possibilities for next time.

Tim, your readers know you well.

I'm shocked people have even came back here.

Glad to see an update! Christopher is rocking those shades!

Looks like a good day had by all.

IT was a great ending to a great day. I'm sure we could top it though.

Huh? What were we talking about again? You guys went to Disney World??? When was this? It's been so long since the last update you've probably had enough time to make another baby by now.

You better watch out Mark. I hear that baby fever is very contagious this year.

LOVE AKL! So glad you enjoyed the meal.

It does seem like an awesome place to sit back and relax. One of these days.

And nice work on the DISDad meet-up.

Thank you SIR!

 

[Millie12591]

TIM!!!

Am I seeing things??!!??

So glad to have you back my Dis brotha!!

Looks like you had a pretty good dinner at Boma.

Love that you got to go out and meet up with a Dis dad!!
I think I text you that evening and asked how y'alls day went and you told me you weren't sure if you should go for the Dis meet. Glad it worked out.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

You better watch out Mark. I hear that baby fever is very contagious this year.

Oh, I'm not worried. You'd have to be a moron to consider having another baby at my age.

 

[Woth2982]

:
You are taking vacations right and left! :

Haha yea I have taken a few this year! Wait til next year! I think I am gonna try to get not only the new limited edition pink coast to coast medal, but I wanna try and do Wine and Dine half as well as DL half to try and get the regular coast to coast medal as well. 2 trips to each park in 1 year. So much for quitting my second job anytime soon lol. I will be teaching swimming lessons every Sunday from now until the day I die at this rate!

 

[jenseib]

Great update. AKL is such a pretty resort.
sounds like a fun night with your buddy too
