Hi Kelly, I definitely recommend the 3 we have done! I loved the Rhino tour, I find it very interesting how Disney takes such great lengths to care for all the animals!HI Caroline! All caught up! I've never done any AK tours...we had the Rhino tour booked for March 2020 but we all know how that went. We will have to try again one of these days.
Thank you! I am really glad I looked again because it is a substantial savings by going a few days later! I love YC and the Boardwalk area! We plan to check out Food&Wine at Epcot. It will be nice to walk over there.Your plans for August/September look great! I love the YC and I'm sure you were so happy to save some money!
I’m excited with our plans so far. I also added a Via Napoli for our first night!Sounds like such a fun trip in August! Your ADRs look awesome, I'm very interested to hear what you think of Space 220 (and I'm impressed you got a reservation)! Flying does sound crazy right now, hopefully it will have settled down a bit by August.
Yes, we will have to meet up and say HiDefinitely
I have heard so many good things about this tour!We had the Savor the Savannah tour this afternoon. This was scheduled for 3:15pm.
One of my favourite things to do!We went on the trails around the Tree of Life. It is beautiful back here and still a little bit of a hidden gem! The carvings on the Tree of Life are amazing and always a fun activity. I think there is something different on this tree each time we walk around it.
Very nice spread!We headed over to the Boma area and had a wonderful light meal, including, red pepper hummus,curry chicken salad, tandoori shrimp, olive salads, an assortment of breads, cheeses, and fruits. It was very tasty. I loved the chicken curry, shrimp, and the different breads.
Lovely! Were you allowed to have one beverage each or could you have a second if you chose to?We also could have wine, beer, POG juice, and water. Andi and I had wine. We sat with a couple from Boston, they were also AP holders. They come down to Disney fairly often. It was nice visiting with them.
Awesome! I am thinking of adding it to my trip this summer!This tour is laid back yet educational, and the food and drinks are amazing. I highly recommend this tour.
Perfection!This was a relaxing day and very enjoyable! I watched the fireworks again before bed, what a way to end each day!
Oh my gosh, you got your own private tour! How cool is that!We absolutely loved the Savor the Savanna tour when we did it! Although it rained most of our date and the other people scheduled for the tour all bailed so it was just me and Dan but I would definitely do it again! What a great day!
Do you think you'll ever do the Wild Africa Trek?
So bittersweet! You miss the the child you had but it is wonderful to see them blossom into the people they are meant to be.Well 7 years later, we have only missed one August and that was in 2020 for you know what virus reasons. Just like Voldemort I won’t say it’s name, lol
This year brings some changes as well, my sweet Andi has grown up and has adult obligation’s now
She will not be coming on this trip! She will be starting her professional internship at The University of Wisconsin and has orientation during our trip dates!
I have to basically request my summer vacation a year ahead of time, just another stressful thing about being a nurse so I can’t change my dates!
That's a great endorsement!We are doing the Savor the Savannah tour in AK. I just reviewed it on here! Loved it so much and my sister loves anything Animals so it was a No brainer to do this again.
I had the same issue and it drove me crazy!My card is saved in my profile and I have never had this problem before! This was tedious and slowed down my progress some!
You will love Trader Sam's! At this point, I am over everything related to the great unpleasantness.We plan to do lounges, including getting into Trader Sam’s, this is a must this trip! Andi didn’t want to go in April, she didn’t like the smallness of the bar, she still prefers social distancing
So sad we miss each other by a day! But those saving were way too good to pass up!These are our plans at this time. I think I will be missing some of my Dis friends, bummer! If anyone reading this is going to be there at the same time, let me know.
What are your dates? I am just missing Caroline by a day as I am down August 21-28.We'll be at the same run of deluxe hours-MNSSHP-deluxe hours!
How are your piggy backing skills these days? My girls really *want* to be able to hang late for that many nights in a row, but I'm worried about how exhausted they'll be by Wednesday. Now, if we had an extra adult just in case...
We land on 25th, first park day 26th, so we'll overlap a couple of days.What are your dates? I am just missing Caroline by a day as I am down August 21-28.
It is a good one, I’m excited to do it again!have heard so many good things about this tour!
I love the trails and I know my sister will love checking out these areasOne of my favourite things to do!
It really was and delicious. Tusker House chefs prepare the food for this tourVery nice spread!
You could have unlimited drinks, lol we each had 2 glasses of wine and some POG juiceLovely! Were you allowed to have one beverage each or could you have a second if you chose to?
I think you would really love this tour, I hope it works out to do it!Awesome! I am thinking of adding it to my trip this summer!
This is very true Susan, you said it perfectly!So bittersweet! You miss the the child you had but it is wonderful to see them blossom into the people they are meant to be.
It really is. I had no hesitation to book this again!That's a great endorsement!
It was so frustrating!I had the same issue and it drove me crazy!
I’m very excited for Trader SAMs, it is a priority this upcoming trip!You will love Trader Sam's! At this point, I am over everything related to the great unpleasantness.
I know, I really wanted to spend time with you! Especially with my sister it would have been fun to have some light bites and drinks at one of the lounges!So sad we miss each other by a day! But those saving were way too good to pass up!
Thank you, it will be interesting! I will need to adjust, however, the April trip was a little slower for Andi and I! Once at the parks, Andi does dart and bob a lotYour plans are coming along nicely. I wonder how big an adjustment it will be for you to slow down and not dart and bob!
Thank you Carole, I could have snapped pictures all day at WL and AK!Love your WL images.....it is such a beautiful resort, and your AK pictures are stunning.
I love looking at all our pictures from past trips. Andi has changed so much over the years. The pictures are really priceless! I will really miss Andi in August. I’m really happy Donna wanted to come along, she is getting excited!That picture of Andi very young at MK is adorable......yes, it is sad when things change and they can`t come any more, but glad to see your sister is visiting with you and your plans sound amazing with some lovely hotels in there!
I sure hope we can meet up to say hello We definitely are going to go to Strong Waters after reading all your awesome reviews of the place!hope we can maybe say hello this time.....we`re there all of September so we can try to match up this time.....
We (myself, my husband, and my daughter (9))will be at the Beach Club from 8/29 until 9/5 and are also doing MNSSHP on 8/30! We would normally do a few more days but we will taking out first Disney Cruise on the Wish right before. I tried to switch to the Yacht Club for the Disney Visa savings but was too late! I never even saw an email on it.If anyone reading this is going to be there at the same time, let me know.
I agree, it is fun to take it slower and enjoy all the little things! Sometimes Andi and I go go like we are on a mission and we miss out on the atmosphere!Sounds like some great plans for your August trip! I have to cater my touring style differently too depending on if I am with my Mom and sister or with Dan! lol I kind of like it though because I get to do Disney different ways and as long as I am in Disney I dont really care what I'm doing as long as I am there!!
Wow, almost the exact same dates! I found the visa offer on the visa site when I was looking at my rewards. It was a really big savings and I am glad I found it!We (myself, my husband, and my daughter (9))will be at the Beach Club from 8/29 until 9/5 and are also doing MNSSHP on 8/30!

I thought the reservations were easier to get despite the dumb credit card thing. What a pain that was. Similar reservations. I’m excited to try Steakhouse 71 and happy yo go back to TopolinosWe are doing fewer dining reservations although they seemed much easier to get this year without free dining. We are doing Cinderella's Royal Table (at my husband instance), Yachtsman, Steakhouse 71, and breakfast at Topolinos. And yeah, why did I have to enter my card info every time? I thought I was doing something wrong and my profile wasn't set up right.
We have nothing in our area except 1 Dunkin Donuts so it is a treat to have Vodoo donuts on our trips! Has Salt and Staw opened now at DS?And coming from Portland, OR (home of Voodoo Donuts and Salt & Straw) it always amuses me to see people going there in Orlando. Although Salt & Straw is still very popular with the locals Voodoo has become a much more tourist thing than a local thing now. But the Voodoo Donuts in Orlando is much more impressive than any of the local versions.
Thank you! I’m getting excited for the trip! It will be fun to vacation with Donna.Loving the plans you’ve made for your august trip. I know you’ll miss Andi but it will be wonderful to spend all that time with your sister and you’ll be doing some great tours together. It all sounds amazing!
Hi I hope your recent trip was a fun one!I'm finally caught back up. Enjoying your trip so much.
It will be weird not to have Andi with us, however, I’m really excited to show new things to my sister, she is still considered a newbie at Disney and USO!Your plans for the August trip sound great. I know you'll miss Andi but I'm sure you will also have a great time with your sister.
Thank you! We are just doing the lounge at 220 as well. I’m excited for that. It will be perfect for us. Donna can visit “space” and have a drink and light bites!Your ADRs sound perfect. We really enjoyed doing Space 220. We only did the lounge but it was perfect for us.
Hi Karamie! Love to see you reading along.Hi Caroline! I just read the whole trip report, but no quotes cause it’s too hard on the phone!
The leisurely days look so enjoyable, I’ve really got to try that someday. Also the Savor the Savannah tour looks so great, really high on my list now!
Glad you had good Genie+ luck! I did pretty well with it in March but I still don’t like it.
