Talking Booked our trip - AKL Kidani Villas

Hi everyone,

I wanted to thank everyone for their feedback and advice, I booked our trip to Animal Kingdom Lodge. I'm so excited to have a ticker again!

DH is still grumbling (he thinks its going to be a hassle being far away, but I know it's going to be magical there with all the animals and I bet he will be out there on the balcony more than me and the kids!) I tried to get Bay Lake but the days were blacked out with the 30% off Pin Code that I had, so it was meant to be. (I really wanted to stay here and this trip is celebrating my 40th, so it's fitting that I got my choice)

Thanks again everyone,

Marina

We are staying at Kidani in March. I am really looking forward to it. I'm hoping the resort has a relaxing feel to it. That is exactly my plan this trip.
