Pinch me, did it REALLY happen????? - All wrapped up, and yes, it DID happen!

Surprisingly I was up early enough to see this.

I began packing up the rest of our things. I designated one suitcase for all the stuff that we weren’t going to need for the rest of the trip. It was too cold for Fran to wear shorts, so those went in there. Plus she brought some really fancy clothes even though I told her we only had one sort of fancy meal. I also put some of the souvenirs we bought into the suitcase.

The box that we shipped our food and goodies in, I filled that with souvenirs as well. I had the forethought to purchase some packing tape at Publix when we went shopping because it became clear with the shopping that we did at Universal and the Titanic store that we were going to need every bit of storage to get home that we could get!

I had noticed these curtains at some point after we checked in. What a really cool little touch!

I packed up all our food. Turns out we only had two bags for the fridge and one bag for the freezer. Everything else was OK to be stored in normal heat. Now, I’m pretty sure that we had coffee and were done eating and pretty much packed up by 9:30. But Fran must have spent at least an hour on the computer so I kept myself occupied, while trying not to be irritated. I shouldn’t be too annoyed because one of the things that she was doing was buying us tickets to the “Fanniversary” event in Burbank at the Walt Disney Studios.

I also know us all too well. There is a reason that our reservation at the Sci Fi Dine in theater was for 1PM ;)

So I consoled myself out in the hallway taking these pictures on the Pembe Savannah. Here’s an Okapi and some Red River Hogs.

I think these are Impalas

A close up of the hogs, just for you Pam.

Eventually she packed up her computer and called Bell Services to come get our bags. We had something like 21 bags all together. Most of it was groceries, but the cart was pretty darned full! It was just about 11:00AM when we were leaving the room. I never expect that on check out day we will leave any earlier. It has rarely happened so, I just expect we will take our time getting out of the room.

We said goodbye to Kidani for this trip and headed off to the bus stop for our next destination.
 
Those sunrise photos are gorgeous. Seeing both Okapi and the cute hogs in one photos is a real treat. I do love them both.

Our last two stays at AKV we were on the Pembe, the red river hogs are my favorite to watch.:thumbsup2
 
Early mornings in WDW are just the best but especially when you have a view like that to wake up to :)
 
I really should consider going to Fulton's one day because of all your past reviews about this place. I absolutely LOVE oysters, but don't know much about them. If you gave this rave reviews, i'm sure their amazing, so I must try them!

You got some pretty shots of the morning sunrise at AKV. You know what I just realized. I never got animal shots from our Studio Savannah view :confused3 How does that even happen!?:lmao: We got video but no still shots. :mad: But I think you took plenty for me.

Thanks! That last day was actually the first time I saw the hogs, but the Okapi were out often.

I've never reuqested it, but I'm thinking if they put us on the Pembe I wouldn't complain.

I'm never an early riser, so that sunrise was an extra treat.

Great sunrise shots. Love the animals too.

Thanks! You know how rare a sunrise shot from me is!!

You definitely should go to Fulton's. I know from your dining reports and stuff you're posting on FB that you and your DH would enjoy it. I've even seen dining reviews where people got the steaks and enjoyed them, but personally we've always ordered the seafood and the soups. They're really good!
 
The bus arrived pretty promptly and we were on our way.

We arrived at our destination and since our reservation was not until 1:00PM, we took our time at things.

As usual, Fran wanted to hit the shops. I had something else on my mind, so we agreed that I would go on ahead and get some FPs while she moseyed through the shops.

I’m not quite sure where she found this map.

But this was so cute, she zeroed in our neighborhood.

So while she leisurely made her way this direction, I had hustled my bustle to

Turns out that the FP return time was right in the middle of our lunch. I called her and she suggested I do the Single Rider line and then get a FP. In case you can’t read it the standard wait time was 75 minutes.

OMG! This was the LONGEST ever wait I have had in the Single Ride Line. I was starting to fear that I would have to bail on the line to make the lunch reservation, but in the end it all worked out.

I got two FPs for return between 2:30 & 3:30 I think, and we headed off to the Sci Fi. .
 
I love the dress. Did you get this at WDW? This looks very much like the dress I fell in love with at Tren-D. I am glad that the single rider line on Rock'n'Rollercoaster worked out.

I'm surprised Minnie didn't try to steal your adorable dress, I love it!!!:thumbsup2
 
OK, I would respond individually, but I can't believe that the only posts about his update are about the dress!!!!!!!!

I got it on the cruise line trip in December. They had the same dress in the parks, but it had a slightly different twist, but I was so happy to find something on the cruise that wasn't in the parks and after I bought it, I saw one almost exactly similar in the parks. Not exactly the same but really close and was very sad that I didn't have someting unique.

I would have worn it today for my meet with Jenny, but it was too cold.

I love the dress too and hope that I have many more occasions to wear it!
 
Very nice day at DHS.That is a very nice picture before you enter DCA with the Sorcerer Topiary Mickey.
 
Meeting you and Fran was so much fun. Good peeps, good times. Good food. :grouphug: I'll post a full report when I get home.

Oooh! I get it. You want some comment from us other than about the dress!























Nice car!! I like that it's red!
