I was just thinking that it seemed like you had an awful lot of things packed in and events that kept you up late right before an event that got you up super early. I hope you can take a nap this afternoon!
 

I'm glad you enjoyed the P &PP. I can't wait to hear about the Sunrise Safari. I'm sure Elizabeth is waiting to hear too :goodvibes
 
Glad to hear you all enjoyed the P&PP, I was so hoping they would have some in August.

Look forward to hearing about the sunrise safari!
 
Love the P&PP shirts. Have another great day!
 
Sorry this is late!

I am really enjoying your trip report!
 
Thank you so much for posting this report! We are staying there CL for my b-day in Oct for 4 nights! Yay we are super excited because we have never stayed there before. I booked the Sunrise Safari so please tell me all about it and for DH, tell me about the food afterwards!

Also, can you give me a detailed list of the breakfast offerings in the CL lounge? It will help me out with plans so much!

Thanks and have a fantastic time!!

I can't decide if it was worth the $275 that I paid for the 5 of us to go. Again, I enjoyed it....but I am not sure I enjoyed it that much. I will have to ponder it. I also have the Sunset Safari booked, so it will be interesting to compare the two. Again, it was good...just can't decide if it was worth it for US...it seems like most people LOVE this event...I did definitely enjoy this more than the Grand Gathering Safari event.
 
Heading to La Nouba....

The kids decided they want to go back to Typhoon Lagoon...so tomorrow we will go back there, followed by the Sunset Safari
 
You are doing SO many fun things!! I can't wait to see and hear how you like the Wanyama Safari - I loved it! The Sunrise Safari breakfast that I had in Tusker House in 2003 or maybe 2004 was much more elaborate than what you described... wonder if they changed the offerings when they changed the venue. It was SO special when we did it.

Sunset Safari is w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l!! Enjoy!
 
Just wanted to pop you a note to say I've been reading your posts from the beginning and love the live updates. Thanks so much for taking the time to let us share in the magic!:thumbsup2

La Nouba is AMAZING! The kids will love it. DS was mesmerized.

I like the safari pics! Especially the hippos! We NEVER see the hippos! I think we will really like the safari. It also won't cost me $275 since there are only 3 of us, so that may skew my opinion. ;)

Another water park day, huh? Hmm. Have fun!! :cool1:
