| I am really enjoying your TR. You definately brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye when you were kind enough to call me and let me listen to the entire opening of Magic Kingdom that day. I just closed my eyes and I would have sworn I was right there with you. Maybe next summer. |

| It was getting really hot and time to leave the park. We headed out at about 12:30pm after walking down Main Street through the stores. I was getting a good look at the merch so I could buy Carlee something. To the bus stop we went for Animal Kingdom Lodge and Villas. My luck was with us still because we didn’t wait but 10 minutes until the bus showed! I was more than pleased when I realized that Kidani was the first stop!We took a few pictures from the bus stop to the front door: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love the light fixtures ![]() I walked up to the very unbusy check in and I said, okay, who’d like to take care of me? Six people started saying I do I do I do! Before they could get into a shouting/punching match over who’d check us in, I went to the far left. This was a very good time to check in, it was about 1:15pm. Seriously, aside from a guest sitting in the lobby, we were the only guests visable! My incredible luck was holding out. Not only was our room ready(standard view) but it was right near the lobby on the 3rd floor! Talk about a very quick walk for us! So natch, we had to take photos of our room: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Josh's bed. He was tired! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ha ha ha ha. Look at me taking the shampoos already! ![]() ![]() ![]() How shoes should always be: ![]() ![]() ![]() We rang for bell services to inquire about our luggage. It was only about 1:45pm by this time. I was not holding my breath. Imagine, my luck was still holding out—it was there and would be in our room in about 10 minutes! ![]() Once we got the bags, the kids and Ben got their suits on and fired up the old laptop and enjoyed the FREE internet! I also went to the shop and bought me a Kidani t-shirt. Unfortunately, I had to exchange the size and that was when I realized they now needed the receipt for the barcode. I also purchased Joe. You will see him once we move to OKW. He’s my buddy. Meanwhile, I was texting my friend, Sheri, and telling her to come on over! Come see the room! Its gorgeous! I have to say that I LOVED our room view and I loved our location. The balcony was nice and long and seemed to have a tiny bit more room than the ones at the VWL. Somebody had broken our table though, so yes, tempered glass does break! Soon Sheri and her friend came along and I saw them pulling around and went to meet them. It was so good to see Sheri again and to meet her friend. But we had a dinner at Sanaa to get to! Josh must have been hungry because he was hurrying us chickens, er gals, along. I’m surprised he didn’t tell us to stop squawking! LOL! We didn’t have long to wait at Sanaa, but we did have the hardest time deciding what to order. We were on the dining plan, so no appetizers for us. For the life of me, the only thing I remember anybody getting was Josh’s steak! Dessert, I remember getting rice pudding and it was SO GOOD!! I probably am forgetting because for some reason, Miss Gabby decided she had to go to the bathroom quite often during this meal! Drove me insane!Sanaa is amazing with the quality and taste of the food and the view from the windows! A male ![]() A female. Nice rack! ![]() ![]() Male and female ![]() Done with the meal—nice and leisurely, I think nearly 2 hours! We went outside to enjoy the view. Plus I didn’t want to say goodbye yet, but I was getting quite tired having been up since 4am and it was now pushing 8pm! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We made tentative plans to meet at DHS the next morning, so we said bye for now and waddled up to our room. I don’t remember what Josh did but I remember him saying he wanted to go to DHS so to wake him up early. We kept thinking it was morning EMH there. Ten o'clock and it was lights out!

| What a fun morning at MK and you got to do so much in so little time! Of course, I your room at Kidani, but then it looks just like ours did. I also bought the same t-shirt, but it won't appear in any of my pictures from the trip as I hated sweating the poor thing up. I wore it to a cook-out our first night home.

| All caught up! What a great view at GF. Love the sunrise pics. Sounded like a nice, brief stay there. How sweet of Josh to clean up the dirty stuff for you. I can't believe you got to ride BTMRR and SM back to back. Too cool! AKL looks amazing. That bathroom is awesome. More please.
