Thanks Joan - can as never let a bit of rain dampen a park day !Although the sheer volume of rain would no doubt bring everything to a halt in the UK!😂
Love everything that AK has to offer and it takes on a new feeling after dark too. Thanks for reading 👍

Our Josh would have the pancakes for dinner if we ventured in there later in the day
Love IHoP much more than Dennys. There is something about Animal Kingdom that is so different from all the other parks - it has become a whole day experience and just changes itself completely when night falls - the lighting is incredible. Day 16 is in production - it is a long one Thanks for your continued reading - always appreciated and edging closer to Country Bears too

Josh is now pleased he is not alone in his 'bird thing!'
By missing the Lion King we managed the last drawing class of the day, I love this use of the Conservation Station and the pride you get in drawing one of the characters is fab. As for the dog! It wasn't the fact it was or wasn't a service dog - I just can't understand why anyone would try to get on the ride in the single rider line with a dog Perhaps he was hoping to just tie it to the railings and collect it when he got off Anyway as for the journey home - I tried to avoid putting it in such terms but Neil did text when we got back to complain I had cut him up They recognised us after that! Thanks for your comment about the love of the parks coming across, I'm never sure if it does but the beauty of AK is something to share so much. Enjoyed sharing the virtual AK day last Sunday with you and so many others - oh how much it makes you want to be there again. Appreciate your continued reading and was glad of the kick up the backside to get this day posted DAY 16 is coming soon -promise

Another great read, with some fab photos. Mystified by the dog in the single rider line, doesn't look tall enough to ride to me (!). Food looked very good. Patiently waiting for the big surprise on day 16.

Love your photos. For a second I thought the drawing was of Stitch 🤣 . You say you’ll never get another fp for fop ,do you mean because you’ll never go again or am I missing something?

Not going to give you the link to the next day but will give you a bit of info about Lake Wilson Preserve, instead.
If I don't hear from you in days 16 onwards - I will understand I may have helped you make a decision We have stayed very close off site around the 192 in gated and in ungated communities ( Sunset Lakes/ Indian Creek) and also Orange Lake Resort which is fab. The price you pay for being closer is considerably more , as you have so much on the 192 to drop in and out of. However, we found a fab Villa around Champions Gate at West Haven in 2017. From there our past two stays have been at Lake Wilson Preserve. The villas in this area are newer, they are well served by local shops, and a few restaurants, not as many as the 192 but there are many. I have to admit , I would gladly live at Lake Wilson Preserve for the rest of my days. It is around 20 mins to the parks, yes the I4 can be a pain so take the Old Lake Wilson Road instead ( avoiding major commuting times as it too gets busy, but keeps moving) The cost saving for us, ensured we booked this and the last trip - we could not afford to stay closer, yet were staying in bigger places with everything we were looking for ( hot tub especially) Would highly recommend Lake Wilson Preserve - it is closer than you think and just a quiet and beautiful community to stay. Anyway - your 40th countdown and if you read Day 16 you will see why I have my fingers crossed that your trip becomes a reality - Will try to get more Lake Wilson Preserve pics into upcoming days for you too. Thanks for such a great question and if you need any more info - would gladly provide ( send a PM if you need specific details)

Exactly - A dog Know there are people who need them, for lots of reasons, but I would never take my dog into the queue of a rollercoaster no matter what
Day 16 is posted and hope you enjoy reading it - it is a long one though, the picture editing has taken a battering! Thanks for posting a response and hope you enjoy the rest of the trip

Aw thank you so much for your reply. We too have stayed at Westhaven on 4 of our trips and love the Champions Gate area. As you said the closeness to 192 is great but we didn’t find champions gate too far away at all. We have stayed in Emerald Island and Oakwater, off the 192, and yes it is nice being so close to Disney. However, our 2 girls are getting older now (15 and 14 atm) and we don’t Think there will be many Disney visits after this year, so being away from 192 doesn’t bother us.
I am off to have a good look at Lake Wilson and the area. The short cut sounds good too 😉 Also I beat you to it and have already read day 16, I couldn’t wait! A huge Happy (**th) Birthday and what an amazing surprise too. Really fancy the boat hire trip out on the lakes too, looked amazing! Thank you again for your PM too. |
