The Zen of Disney: Trip Home and Final Thoughts
The Zen of Disney...Trip home and final thoughts
Cast: Meg: 43: trip planner and tour guide; 6th trip to the world
Dave: 51: general all around great guy: 6th trip to the world
After one last breakfast in the lounge, we gathered our belongings and waited for the Magical Express bus. Our driver was Amar, and he was great! We were the only people who got on at AKL, but the line at Pop Century was enormous! Amar just kept his cool, got everyone loaded and then told us jokes and interesting bits of trivia all the way to the airport. We had no problems with the flight home, and we even got home in time to pick up the dogs! It had been another great trip to the world.
Final thoughts:
We loved Magical Express! We will definitely use that again.
I loved the dolphin tour. I am doing that again with my niece, nephew and niece-in-law when we take them in 2009.
AKL is our favorite resort on property…maybe our favorite resort anywhere!
Even though we did not eat at any table service restaurants, we did not go hungry and we enjoyed having the flexibility to eat when and where we wanted.
July Fourth was hot and crowded, but an amazing experience nonetheless. We’d do it again!
And now we start planning for our December trip to the Boardwalk!

What an amazing trip you had! I really enjoyed reading your reports and the detail you bring to them. It really made me feel as if I'd been there with you.
I loved the pace of your trip. You got so much accomplished but it never seemed like you were rushed or in hurry. I hope our trip is more like that in Oct.
Thank you for sharing!
