Saw this on AllEars today. Thought you guys would be interested. I only wish they had included the murphy beds in the 2 bedrooms. This is a video showing a dedicated two bedroom that has gone through the refurb.

Thanks so much! Enjoyed the video even if I didn't particularly like the main living and kitchen areas--far too light and cheap-looking except the countertops and stainless steel appliances.

Wishing all our Moms a very Happy Mothers Day!

We're back in Ohio But the countdown has begun for our next WDW adventure: 167 days. I've spent this afternoon making our ADR's for Oct. I'm surprised that both 'Ohana and Be Our Guest have no availability for our entire stay. We had only a few ADR's this trip. I hate being tied down to a schedule. Our kids will be joining us in October and there were several restaurants on their 'wish' list, so I tried to accommodate as best I could.

Even though our trip started with rain, rain and more rain, once the skies cleared we had beautiful 90 degree weather for the duration - 7 days. This was a nice, easy, slow-paced trip. No commando for us! We averaged about 8-9 miles a day. Maybe a little more. By the time evening rolled around, I was more than ready to head back to our room and take a load off my feet. We were in a 5th floor, lakeside room and could hear and watch the electric water parade in the evenings. I just love the little tune they play! Of course hearing the boat horns in the early morning just brings a smile to my face and a great start to my day.

Kathy, Eliza, J&T and Granny - enjoy your trips! Tell us all about it.

Thanks Granny for your pictures! We had hoped to do the walk over to the Studios.... Maybe our next BoardWalk stay....

Happy Mothers Day!!!!
And this includes those moms who served as moms to those in need or who needed someone to love them like a mom, or those who are moms to our furry friends. You know who you are, you are a mom too

Happy Birthday Rusafee1183!​

Happy Mother's Day!​

We arrived at AKV yesterday without incident after good flights across the country. Shortly after stepping out in the 90+ degree weather we received a text from our petsitter that it snowed at home! Good timing for us!!

We checked in and received a pool view for our concierge room - again. Worse things in the world but 3 times and I'd start to think odds would get us in one of the savannah views. I know - poor me.

Shortly after check in we hopped on a bus to MK arriving just in time to get on the last train at the front of the park (8:45). We road the train around to Frontierland and hopped off to use our FP at Big Thunder. Had a good ride on that and then it was time for DH's turkey leg which placed us front row for MSEP! After watching that we began to make our way to the Rose Garden for our FP for Wishes. The MK is a bit disheveled at the moment with walls up all over the hub in front of the Castle and then they are blocking off a couple of walkways well before the fireworks. But one CM walked us thru to get across and we arrived to take our comfy seat on the lawn. It was a great way to see the fireworks! Right after they finished we rode Buzz where I maxed out 1/2 way thru crushing DH who came in less than 200,000. Then we finished off with our final FP at SM. An excellent evening!

Today was catching up on some sleep and enjoying some down time before heading to AK this afternoon. We road Everest, watched Flights of Wonder and took in a Safari. After a little break at the room we're heading to Epcot to see Chubby Checker. I haven't taken too many pictures but will try and post if I get some uploaded.

We'll be seeing the 1BR's in person in 3 days. Still hoping I like it better in person.

We had a wonderful dinner last night at Artist Point to celebrate Mother's Day. They gave DW a rose for the occasion and brought us free champagne with strawberry. DW had steak and I had a great scallops dish recommended by our waitress. Our waitress was also tremendous. Overall, it was by far our best meal of the trip. And for lunch we had gone to Be Our Guest lunch which was a fine treat in itself. The restaurant is themed to a tee, and my roast beef sandwich was excellent!

So, a very good eating day for Mother's Day.
