Wow, thank you! That is such a nice compliment. It's so nice of you to say that, I had no idea!
OMG, your daughter and my step-daughter would get along so well together! I'm sure they could spend hours talking about anime and K-Pop! I can totally understand how your DD can be more excited about the Japan Pavilioon than MK. Otaku was like that. Wait until you see the picture I took of her just before going into the Japan store... Your DD will flip out!! Be prepared to spend hours in there.
I don't know why the flu is so much stronger this year!!! I hope your DD and DH feel better soon.
your baby is adorable!
Claudia is gorgeous!!! Love her big beautiful eyes I'm also loving the AOA pics it's getting me very excited for my trip,I can't wait to get there!!!!
My daughter is now following your thread as well. Well, she reads it over my shoulder. She is so excited to see your Epcot and Japan pictures. She said she knows she would love your step-daughter.
Where she has been so sick, we have watched tv together, which means, I logged 5 hours of anime yesterday......She wanted to know if your SD had a favorite anime. And would you please tell her that my DDs favorites are Soul Eater, Full Metal Alchemist, Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood, Fairy Tale and xxxHolic.... so message delivered
Anyway, it is great to "meet" you and I am really enjoying your pictures and story!!!
That is super-disappointing about the elephant graveyard playground. I saw that concept art, too, and I just assumed that they'd followed through with it. How pointless! I'm glad I didn't try to make that a selling point with my kids, or they would have melted down if all they got to do was walk through it!
I love seeing it at night. Just like Pop, I think it looks spectacular at niAght!
Love all of the pictures of the areas. I saw the starting of the drawings when I stayed at POP last February and wondered if they would be colored in or left as sketches. I liked seeing the final result across the lake in December!
I remember seeing the log with Timon, Pumbaa and Simba on the concept art and like how they look for real too. Bummer about the elephant "play yard" though.
Ack! I was just thinking of your TR and the fact that I needed to find it, and here it is, yay!!
Oh my goodness, Claudia is so adorable!! Eee!
Thats so not good with the sickness before the trip!!
Wow, I was just reading the whole customs thing and was all wait, what? They have to do customs, Im so confused and then remembered that youre also Canadian, lawl.
So glad you started feeling a bit better while getting close to Orlando, I guess Disney can do that, right?! Yay for AoA! I love that resort so much! Its so awesome!
Excited to read more!!
Enjoying your report so far! My daughter is about the same age so I'm looking forward to seeing how your trip went with a baby. (Even though I'm not brave enough to take her until she's a little older!) Claudia is a cutie! (And I love that name!)
Great pics! My daughter would LOVE to stay in the Lion King section some year but it's way too much space for just the two of us.
Loved your pictures at night!!! I noticed some things that I hadn't noticed during the day, interesting to compare!
Luke walked through the graveyard part of the LK section & he asked "Is that IT mommy? Is that all I do?" I felt so bad for him!
Thanks for explaining the suites at AoA! I'm glad to hear I can have my own sink!!! I need to research them more!
Lion King is my favorite Disney movie so I am partial to it but the "playground" is disappointing! I've seen that in a couple other TR's and I just don't get it, obviously it was planned differently and behind the scenes something must have changed I bet they will change it up eventually! Still the resort is beautiful, I love the details!
The more pictures I see of AoA, the more I want to stay there!
I am LOVING AoA!! It really is a beautiful resort!
Sounds like an awesome time so far. I am definitely waiting to hear about the crowd level as I am taking my teenage DD there at that time next year for her birthday. Claudia is precious.
Mel, great nighttime pictures (I had seen a lot of daytime pictures too, but never any nighttime ones). That's strange that they didn't make the boneyard into a playground. Is there a playground somewhere else for the kids?
Beautiful nighttime shots around the resort, Mel. I've got to talk my family into going over for a visit just to look around. We have several days where there's nothing but dinner planned so I know that we'll have time. It's just getting them to do it that's the problem.
Every since the resort open, I've read complaints about the "playground" not really being a playground. I can understand not wanting them to climb around on it but at least put in a slide or two.
We enjoyed AOA in September. .We actually had to transfer to a suite over there from POFQ after we realized that our room with my mom, us and two kids was just too small.. Not sure if I can afford the suite price as we didnt have to spend any extra when they moved us... Might have to check out the Little Mermaid rooms
