WoW!! I think you are one of the top speed posters! I had a great time catching up!
I'm so sorry you weren't over your bug!
You guys were major troopers to keep going but I know what you mean about thinking "I'm at Disney, don't know when we'll be back."
Yack and Yeti was under construction when we were in AK so it was fun to see your interior pictures and the food looked incredible!
Your EE pictures are really beautiful. We took pictures from that same spot except it was in the morning and the colors are rather washed out so your warm afternoon sun makes it especially nice.
I'm joining the Henry fan club too! He seems like such a good natured little guy! His expressions and delight of all things Disney are cute.
So I am hoping that you are now completely over your bug and won't need to see any more bathrooms!
Thank you for the comments on Henry.

I purposely tried to watch him and capture those bright eyes when he saw something new at Disney-it was a ton of fun to see his reactions!
Y&Y was SO pretty! The pictures really don't even do it justice. All the rooms are different and there are a ton of things on the walls to look at. And yep, the food was tasty! Well, as much as we could eat was good anyway.
The sun right at closing time was perfect for pictures, I just wanted to slowly stroll out and take a zillion pictures!
I just got caught up.....Great update(s)!!
I believe those chains on the roads on the safari ride are there to clean off the tires of the jeeps so the different animal poop is not transfered from section to section.
Ahhhhh! That makes sense too! Very inventive.
Great updates. I can never get to Wolfgang Puck's to see how it is because Earl has a hold on me. I can't think of being in DTD and not letting him fix my lunch. I had that special holiday sandwich during Thanksgiving, and it was so gooood!
I am now raising my right hand, putting my left hand on my Birnbaum's, and saying, "I do solemnly swear that I will stay at Wilderness Lodge someday!"
Looking forward to many more pictures and to hearing all about the adventures!
I wanted to try that sandwhich from Earl's, MAN, does it sound good! I'm very happy to hear that it gets a

. Sometime in the future I will have to try it. Earl is on the MUST DO list this trip in January since we missed it in November. WPE is VERY good though. We are planning on hitting DTD a few times this coming trip (details coming soon on it all!), so hopefully we will get WPE and Earl.
MeMom, you are hilarious.

I love your "I do solemnly swear..." You will love WL! I still haven't gotten over to your TR since my time on the DIS has been limited due to Christmas shopping/preparing/family events, I hope you were able to get over there and enjoy the fireplace.
Better late than never, so I'm joining in now. Love your trip report, especially enjoying it because we're taking our sons in January, one of which will have just turned 1, so your trip is like a preview for me to learn as much as possible about what to do before we go!! And to prepare myself that plans change and ya gotta just roll with it!
Keep it coming!!!

Hello! Welcome, glad to hear you are enjoying it! Rolling with it is key. I had so many plans we didn't get to. There was just no way. But! Seeing your child's reactions to everything, their eyes light up with wonder and awe, there is NOTHING like it!

It was truly a magical trip (despite the many, many bathroom trips and becoming BFF with Pepto

).
I just spent time reading through your TR. I agree with the others, you are a great writer and I LOVE your pics! Can't wait to read more!
Welcome! Thank you for the compliments on the TR and the pics.

Lots more to come!
I'm really enjoying your report Brooke. I'm suffering with gastro-intestinal issues at the moment, so I know how you felt. I don't know how you toured parks and enjoyed any of the food. Right now I'm eating very little and staying a few steps away from the bathroom!!!!
We're so excited to stay at the Wilderness Lodge in March and we've now booked an extra night at the beginning of our trip at POFQ (instead of POP) with the super-duper discount that just came out! I'm glad I waited to book that first night.
You and your family are so cute - love that little Henry - he's just a doll! I'm waiting patiently for your big reveal (gotta be DVC!).

We toured very very carefully...

And thankfully we had the PassPorter maps with the bathroom locations clearly defined!
You will love the WL - it's wonderful! I have more pics of it coming up too.
Thank you for the compliments on Henry too.
And DVC?
Wow, you took some great pictures! That is terrible to be so sick on your vacation! I hope things got better for you all.
We only spent a half day at AK that Wednesday. Everyone wanted to get back to use the pool. I accomplished what I wanted to do at AK though. I got to go on Expedition Everest for the first time and sit in the front row. It was a great ride but short. We also enjoyed the safari, which I was unable to go on a couple years ago because I was pregnant. I hope to going on Dinosaur next time. I love that ride.
Great updates!
Holy cow, EE in the front seat!!!!!!!! That had to be INTESNE. Can you just ask for the front seat and wait? I just might have to do that...
Great updates! What a neat chocolate box! I am glad Joe was touched...even if he couldn't yet touch them.

I feel so badly for all of you. Although stomach ills are never fun, coming down with it on vacation is a double bummer. Sorry to hear you guys went through that.
I am glad you really enjoyed Y&Y too. It was one of our favorite finds on our last trip.
Did Henry get a bite of that chocolate?!

It looks like you guys were really enjoying it! I love the "after" pictures of you guys eating it. Too cute!
I don't believe Henry has gotten any of the "box chocolate"...I think our chocolate binge time was after he had gone to bed...but that little boy LOVES all things sweet, so I bet he'd be making his loud "YUM YUM!"s if we brought it out.
We hope to hit Y&Y on a near future trip again, it was great! And I love the large selection on the menu, something for everyone and you can go back many times to try all sorts of stuff!
