What a great update! Morgan is just too cute. I love the picture of her trying out the lint roller. Your room is gorgeous! I think I'd like to stay there at some point.

How was the noise level where your room was located? That has been my fear of booking this view.

The magic and delight on Morgan's face is absolutely precious! Looking forward to hearing more about your night time adventures on the balcony! I've always been concerned about the noise level with the Boardwalk facing rooms, so I've been too afraid to book one, but the views are spectacular!

Great to see you get started! We have thought of you often. Your niece looks so excited! The room and view look awesome. We are going to the boardwalk in December and we can't wait. Looking forward to the next update!

I guess what they were taught was right.

LOVE that room and that view!! What a beautiful sight to wake up to in all directions. You know I love my BC, but that might have to be a possibility if I were to be able to get a water view
Ours was a boardwalk view, which includes the water view. It was worth a few extra DVC points for sure. Morgan checked it out every single morning and evening.

I can't believe that lady driver. At least you were in good hands with that bus driver!!

I love Morgan is just taking everything in!!

I hope you didn't have too long to wait before you got to your first park.
Looking forward to more!!
The lady driver kept looking back at the bus when she got out of her car with this "why did that bus driver honk at me" look. We do have a bit of a wait, which I failed to prepare Morgan for, but it will all work out fine.

I so miss Disney.
We did spend quite a bit of time on the balconies.

I know this was not an easy one for you & Luke, and I'm happy that Morgan was able to join you. She is adorable & I love her enthusiasm & sense of awe...Hang in there...I continue to think of you each day...
I truly appreciate your thinking of me each day as I know that the love and support of family and friends is essential to the healing!

We had been in the lobby before as we often visit restaurants at the Boardwalk and one of Stefanie's favorite resort gift shops is here. But I was excited about finally seeing more of it, especially the guest rooms.

So glad to see you smile in the self portrait but can't help but wonder what happened to the hidden Cam in the mirror picture
I must have manage to totally hid myself this year. I didn't even think about it. Of course, not thinking about it is how I ended up in the mirror last year.

She has actually gone with us before when we stayed at OKW in two studios, but OKW lacks a luxurious lobby. I can't wait to see her face when we enter Kidani Village and Jambo House next summer. She loves Animal Kingdom as much as me so I know she'll be over the top for the lodge.
