We are here Live Report

Glad you enjoyed Teppan Edo, we liked it so much we went back to the room and cancelled The Wave so we could eat there again a few days later. Not the biggest meal in Disney but very entertaining and tasty. Its another meal I would not pay for OOP but great on DDP.

 

[Fantasia Sam]

You got a lot packed in at AK - I'm impressed!

We really enjoy Teppan Edo too, glad you liked it.

Teppan Edo is one of our favourites and is a "must do" for us every trip. Sounds the trip is a winner and the weather is behaving as well

another fan of teppan edo here!! we had an excellent meal there!!

Reid, Nemo is 37 minutes long - you were very lucky to have made it to your fastpass window!!!

You are so right about the Nemo show Beth. We have been to this show so many times before. I have even videoed the entire show. If we had missed Everest I would have been in trouble.

Really glad our Teppan Edo experience was like the DISers whose reports I had read. I am sure I watched Nigel (DisWolves) video of this meal

My kids make us go to both Japanese restaurants each trip - Tokyo Dining 1st night and Teppan Edo last night.
It does slightly depend on who you're sat with and how fun the chef is but we always like it...

We are trying Tokyo dining later this month. Not sure about it but want to try while on DDP.

We ate at both Teppan Edo and Tokyo Dining this time and we both agreed we would go back again to Teppan Edo we would be fussed with Tokyo Dining. Food was just OK (i had the tempura chicken and tbh it was a bit bland as an entree - the tempura appetiser is one of my favourites at TE) but the service was so quick - we were out in 40 mins (we only had entrees but still ...)

Monday 2 July

It is decided that we will have a last visit to a waterpark so we head to Blizzard Beach for 9am.
We grab our usual spot at Ski Training Patrol and then head for 2 tuns on Team Boat Springs.
Jack and I then head for a double shot on Runoff Rapids and then Downhill Double Dipper.
The others have been having fun on the t-bar drop and iceberg walk. By the way it amazes me how many kids go on the t-bar drop who cannot swim. Most have to doggie paddle to the side. The poor CM here has to go in a few times to rescue kids. Her patience was amazing when the same little girl when on twice and had to be rescued both times .
We had a few rounds on Cross Country Creek before relaxing at the Camp while the others raced around the various attractions.

Lunch was the usual fare at Lottawatta Lodge though we used 5 CS credits rather than our normal 4 so as to get the extra water

We did Team Boat Springs and the Creek again before calling it quits at 2pm.

No surprise that 3 snowballs were enjoyed by Morgan, Jack and Robyn on the way out

Tonight's supper was originally supposed to be Chef Mickey. However since Sanaa was such a hit the ADR was changed to Boma. This seems to have mixed reviews as to the menu options however I thought that being a buffet it would appeal. I was not wrong it was a resounding hit. From the fresh fruit, humus and volcano bread, soups, salad bar, couscous, bobortie, lamb curry, carvery station and of course the dessert station, everyone found plenty to enjoy. Some preferred this to Sanaa but Jack and I thought the Indian cuisine was tastier. However Kidani Village and Animal Kingdom Lodge have some great dining options.

We had a good look around the Lodge and went out on to the Savannah viewing area.

Tonight's viewing from the balcony was Illuminations on one side and a fantasic lightening storm on the other side.

We have set the weather up nicely just in time for your visit

 

[disneyholic family]

sounds like a wonderful day!!
we love BB and we love the food at boma - so perfect all around!!!

 

[starrysky]

Sounds like you are having a great time now.
You will be please to know that apart from last saturday Aberdeen and the shire have had thick fog and dirzzle everyday since last week.

I'll take rain at WDW any day over this.

 

[Disneynutinlondon]

I think I'd like to visit AKL for a look around. We ate at Jiko on our last but 1 trip but didn't look around the resort and haven't been back since, it certainly sounds as though more investigation is needed.

So glad your trip hasn't been a total washout and thank you once again for your daily updates.

[fairytale]

it's a beautiful resort!!

It certainly is, AKL and Wilderness Lodge are so beautiful in every way

AKL holds very precious memories for me as it was the first resort we stayed at on our first trip as a family.

I'd be interested to hear what you think. DD loves sushi and there's a sushi entree on the DDP so she has that. Portions aren't massive, but the service I have found always to be impeccable...
