Sounds like a great plan Amy! Are you planning on moving to Florida alone? I remember your mom was thinking of moving with you at one point last year. I know there are quite a few apartments close to WDW. It would be great to get one that is close for you to pop in at night after work!!!

I didn't realize how long your trip is ... sounds like you will have plenty of time to both work and play this time.

So Here it is roughly 39 days before my trip and I wanted to make sure we mark this occasion with some breaking news about this trip...I Made a...CHANGE to my plans

But first something to drink...


Well now that you know that a change is coming and have something frosty to drink I will fill you in!

When this trip first started it was a budget trip at the All Star Music Resort, for mom and I. Then we added Grandma to the reservation and upgraded to Port Orleans Riverside. We have made ADR's and Car Rental Reservations, changed most of them and have a semi settled list.

Well what changed?

Well just 3 days before our 45 day mark, I looked at Mom and said that I wish someday I could stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge and that maybe once I move I could plan a overnight there.

Well Mom shocked me when she said to have Marisa check and see if AKL had any AP rates available for our dates. So I shot off an email to Marisa and she was very speedy. She told me that they had rooms for AP holders but in Standard View Rooms only. Well, we thought about it for ohhhhh 2 seconds and told her to book it. We decided that we can look out the overlooks at the animals, but to have everything in 1 building and to have the dining choices, the nice pool, and hot tub would be worth it.

Plus since this trip was not about the parks all the time, it would be a good time to stay since we could spend the evenings exploring the resort, using the amenities and the fact that it was only $50 more a night to stay there it would be economical.
So I Emailed Marisa back and had her change our reservation and had her pay off the balance as soon as she did so that we didn't have to risk me changing my mind again

I am SOOOOOOO Excited to be staying at AKL and even if i have a room facing the garbage cans it will be worth it to see what this resort has to offer.

So now Amy, Angela and Floor Foot Frannie are staying at AKL and we are
