Love the glasses Meg. So cute! Can't wait to hear more about your trip!!

 

[keenercam]

Oh, I think the glasses are GORGEOUS with the names spelled out like that next to each other.

All of your pix look great and it is so wonderful that your MIL is being so supportive and interested.

How exciting to see all those animals! It would be so amazing to sit out there with a pair of binoculars and a camera and to get amazing pix.

Can't wait to hear more!

Love the glasses. I think if I was in a savannah view room I probably would be up watching the animals also. Animal Kingdom is a beautiful resort. We are staying for a week in October.

Love your journal

When we left AKL it was only 10:30, and our PS wasn't until 1pm. So we had some time to kill. I drove over to GF and as we pulled through the gate the CM asked us "What brings you here today?" and I told her about us planning our wedding. She was SO nice and sweet and must have said congratulations 10 times! lol

We parked ourselves (no DVC valet here... ) and I lugged my big old tote bag with all the planning materials with us.
(incase you forgot what it looked like...)

We walked into the GF and went up to the monorail. DF LOVES the Contemporary, so we immediately headed over there.
(Here is the obligatory monorail pic...)

When we got there he hopped off the monorail and DF took off walking...I didn't know where he was headed. Well...I should have known. As me & FMIL were dragging behind I realized we were headed to the construction site outside. This is rumored to be the future site of a DVC Villa at Contemporary. <~~thats what our family looks like when we think about owning conteporary points lol
Here is DF dreaming of the day he will be part owner of his favorite resort...

He's so silly...but thats why I love him!

We putzed around there for a little while then headed over to the polly. FMIL hadn't seen any of these resorts for a while, so she has having fun comparing them to how they looked years ago.

When we got to the Polly we headed to Hook's for a bite to eat. We were all hungry for lunch, and by now it was 11:30, and we knew we needed to eat before we went into the PS. But when we walked into the dining area it smelled like BURNT CHEESE! Yuck!! It smelled SO nasty in there that I immediately lost my appetite. DF and FMIL were about to order something when I said "um...can we just go back to GF?? please".
They said no problem. We were supposed to walk from Polly to Franck's, but instead took the monorail to GF to grab something to eat first. And its a good thing we made this change!! Every trip DF tries to sit in the front of the monorail (yeah...he's THAT GUY ) and he had failed up to this point.
However...this time we lucked out!! AND we had the nicest driver ever!! I wish I could remember her name...but she was very sweet!
Here is Me & DF in the front of the monorail...

And FMIL, Me, & DF in the front... (the driver offered to take this, we didn't even have to ask!)

The monorail drivers usually don't talk to you that much and sometimes rush you out at your stop, but she was so nice. She was asking us about our wedding plans and telling us ALL about DFTW (it was funny because me & DF knew everything she was saying...but we smiled and oooh'ed and ahhh'ed like we had NEVER heard of the Wedding Pavillion before! )

So then we hopped off the monorail and headed over to the counter service at GF...
This place is my new best friend!!! The food was AMAZING!!!
FMIL got the jerk chicken salad wrap (I won't eat it because it has almonds in it) DF got the cheeseburger (he doesn't do health food lol...and he's still as skinny as a stick!! booger )
I got the italian meat sandwich with cucumber salad...

AMAZING!!!!! So yummy!
I highly recommend this sandwich lol

At this point it was 12:30, time to head to Franck's!!!

By the way....the entire day before, and ALL day Thursday (the PS day) my stomach was in knotts!!! I couldn't settle it. I kept telling DF "I need a drink...omg I need a drink" lol. But he just kept laughing at me. I don't know why...but I was so nervous!! And excited, and anxious, and scared...lol...I was just a big ball of nerves. But in the end, I felt great during the PS. Which I will tell you more about......in the next installment!

Oh..and PS~ By this point, my shoulder was KILLING me from that monster bag of materials I was lugging around!!!

Off to DF's cousin's wedding shower!
