    chef mickey's or boma?

    BOMA BOMA BOMA!!! It is a great place, plus you are at AKL. Baring a thunderstorm, your kids will be able to look through night vision goggles and see animals in the savannah. When I returned in June 07, I took 3 co-workers there for dinner and they loved it as well. seajoker AKL Nov...

    Favorite Signature Restaurant Poll

    We ate at both Cali and Jiko. I went back to WDW for a conference by myself, and found myself back at Jiko. I think it is just that next step above Cali. Service, food, location, excellent. seajoker AKL NOV 2006 POR June 2007

    AKL Night Viewing

    There is no specific program. The guides arrive around 9 p.m. with night vision goggles for you to view the animals. This is a great experience, wew did it each night with my family DW,DD9 and DS6. When I was back for a convention, I went to dinner at Boma and visited the savannah again after...

    Epcot EMH

    We found the same happened to us when we tried to stay for EMH at Epcot. The lines were longer because only a few rides are open during EMH. If you do want to stay, you will need to find a station where disney cast members hand out wrist bands, this will allow you to ride attractions that are...

    1st Time at Animal Kingdom Lodge

    We had our first saty last Nov 2006. We DW, DD(8), DS(5) all had a great time. We just booked a standard room and were upgraded to a pool view. We thought about a savannah room, but there are so many places to see animals, we didn;t want to pay the extra to see them out of our room. If $$ is...

    WDW in early November

    We went this past year Nov 4-11th 2006. It was our 1st trip to WDW. We found the crowds very managable to light. MGM was crowded during the soap weekend, so we made sure to visit MGM early in the week. This is also the food and wine festival at EPCOT, so the weekend crowds around the...

    We went this past year Nov 4-12 2006 and stayed at AKL. We noticed on Wed Nov 8th the resort and parks had more people that spoke with a "jersey" accent than more people all together. This was our 1st trip to WDW, and it was a great week. The weather was great and with FPs, the lines were not...

    How much do you think the dining plan saves?

    Another buffet to try is BOMA at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Yes, tax and tip is included in the price. We used the DDP in Nov. I saved our reciepts and figured we saved about $600. Now, bear in mind, we did our homework and maximized our value. Me, DW, DD8, DS5 enjoyed all the restaurants we...

    AKL Room Question

    We had a pool view, but were able to see the animals in the savanah, although they were far away. It just depends on location and how many trees are blocking your view. It wasn't far to walk and see the animals. That was our reason for not paying the savannah view price, too many places to...

    We were there this year Nov 4-12 2006. Crowds were low from the 4-8th, then wednesday night I think was the kick off to "Jersey Week", lots of accents (we are from Seattle) at the pool. The crowds did increase but still never waited over 20-30 minutes when fast passes were unavailable...

    PhotoPass CD purchase - When/How/Where??

    We used the photopass during our trip in November. We forgot to order the CD at WDW, so we ordered it the next day we got home. It arrived within a week and all 100+ pictures were great and in focused. Very easy to order online when you get home. seajoker Nov 2006 1st timer

    Just back from AKL

    Great write-up on your trip and experiences to AKL. We were there Nov 4-12 and had a wonderful time as well. We booked and standard room and got a mild upgrade to a partcial pool view. We didn't book a savannah room because we knew we wouldn't be in the room that much and we could see the...
