Just me and my boys.
Drive down Friday--Sat all day at MGM. errr, DHS--drive home Sunday.
Crazy? Yes, but It should hold me over until the week of the marathon :)
Make it late August and I'll meet you at Yeehaw Bob's place and buy you a beer.... or two...
We can alternate :)
you know late August actually works for me--I'm on it! I'll keep you posted, Bud.

you know...the older one will have his permit by then ;) But I don't see me being able to relax with him zipping down I-95. :lol: :D
And I don't see the heat being a problem with all of the beers NaCler is going to be buying me :lol: J/K---I have been there in August and, yes, it was BRUTAL!

I love AKL. it's my home resort and I have stayed there several times. There is just something about waking up and going outside to your balcony and seeing giraffes right in front of you. If you like the decor/theming of Africa at AK then you would LOVE the lodge. I'll try to take some pics this time.

We have never stayed at the AKL but we have spent plenty of time lurking in the lobby and in some of the viewing areas. I have a thing for giraffes!

Sorry about the AK, but where did you finally get? Also, we want loads of details on Star Tours 2!

Way to go Bigyowski, have a great time and I'm sure Bay Lake Towers will be just as good. Just a short walk to MK. Even shorter to contemporary and the monorail to Epcot and a short stumble home after a tour of drinking round the world. :shock:

We'll be doing a split stay at OKW and BLT.

We specifically got the Park Hopper option just so we could go to Epcot any day we wanted...for the food and drinks.

2 days! Some old friends who I haven't seen since I was 10 or 11 are at WDW until Monday, and Future Gal and I got some money we weren't expecting so we're going to meet up with them in EPCOT on Saturday. I'll be live-tweeting from the park, so if you do the Twitter thing there's that, and I'll try to write a trip report afterward, if I still remember how. :)

Just a quick question ~ how crowded is WDW over the holiday weekend?!

Here's a video of the monorail during Memorial Day Weekend......

But seriously, I've been down there a couple times on this weekend. It was not so busy during the week and then real busy once Friday came. It might have seemed busier than it was b/c it was real quiet during the week. And also the hot weather didn't help. But it does pick up. The more popular rides routinely have a wait of 90 minutes, usually more. Fastpasses generally have you returning four to five hours later.
