We love rack rate! Aug 1-17 More NEW pics 9/1!

Great pics! It's things like that that tempt me out of values, though we'd have to cut our trip too short to swing it. Someday when I can take my mom again, though, definitely! Love the food pics too. Maybe a little large, but they aren't bad. I can scroll a little left and see the full pic as I page down.

Thanks!
I will have to load the next batch on a smaller setting. Hopefully the mods will let me know if I need to try to go back and resize those.

Becky - The food at Cali Grill was fabulous!

Wow Elizabeth! Thanks for the live TR!
The food looks yummy! The pics looks fine on my screen, but I do have a large monitor!
Glad to hear that the buses have been running on a timely manner!

Have fun at Epcot tonight!

Wish we were going sooner!

Elizabeth sounds like your trip is off to a good start! Hope you all have a wonderful evening & keep the pictures coming

I'm loving the live reports! The photos outside of your room are so pretty they made me cry. One day, I will get to AKL, maybe in 2010.

It sounds like you guys are having too much fun. I can't wait to see more as the trip unfolds.

Sounds like you got off to a great start, we'll be headed out in 9 days. Don'
t forget to save us a seat!

Elizabeth, the pictures are large enough to take up most of the text window, but I like it that way. I'm not sure if someone with a slower internet, smaller screen, etc would agree, but I say keep them big unless you hear otherwise

Elizabeth - Sounds like your trip is off to a great start! No long bus waits!! Loved the pictures of the food at CaGrill and from your balcony. Looks just super so far.

I just found this today!!! I love live reports!!! Sounds like you all are having a great time so far! I can't wait to hear about Coral Reef tonight!!! OK, now I am off to catch up on the pre trippie stuff

This internet connection is going to irritate me.

We left to go to dinner a little after 5 PM.
We got to the bus stop at 5:15 PM, waited 10 minutes. I called Mom while we were waiting. She is feeling fine, which is miraculous and wonderful!

We got to Epcot and picked up our free Visa photo, then over to Coral Reef.

Our ADR was 6:30, and they seated us at exactly 6:30. We had a table front and center right next to the tank. Best table we have EVER had there! I got a nice personalized menu, too. A request was supposed to be put in for a diver with a "Happy Birthday" sign, but no diver ever came by. Not really a big deal, and I don't know whose fault it was. Might have been IPO, might have been the restaurant couldn't do it and the message was not relayed. Anyway, no diver.

Our server was good, the food was GREAT. It did take quite a long time though, because it was 8:15 by the time we left!

IllumiNations was great as always.

Back to the bus stop at 9:34, waited 12 minutes. We did have to stand on the bus, but better to stand on the bus than stand in line waiting for a bus!

Sorry the diver never came by Glad you enjoyed your meal & the rest of the evening though!

Good news about your mom, I hope she continues to do well!

 

[tinknme]

Wonderful pictures Elizabeth, look forward to hearing about the sunrise safari!

 

[snappy]

Great report and pictures add so much.

Could ALMOST see your likeness in the EPCOT picture.

Would love you to post a picture of the birthday girls.

Glad MOM is doing so well, so now relax and enjoy your trip. You deserve
it.

Can't wait to hear about the sunrise safari? How is concierge food. How about some pictures of INSIDE the room? Did it rain yesterday?

Sorry, inquiring minds want to know.

 

[cjhinch]

I am enjoying every update!!

Busses seem to be working out great for you! I'm sorry the diver didn't come, but the menu looks nice. Can't wait to hear about the Sunrise Safari!
