    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    We stayed at Jambo House from 8/11-8/18. It was our first time at AKL. We had pool view room. The view was great; but unfortunately our balcony wasn't very conducive to seeing the view. We were in room 2430 (Zebra trail); right in front of the kiddie pool and above the game room. Our...

    Guest experiences with daily room checks

    We stayed at AKL (Jambo House) from 8/11-8/18. Not once during our whole trip did we have anybody knock or try and enter our room while we were in it. I did keep latch on while we were in room sleeping, etc ( just in case). Housekeeping did come while we would be out in the parks. I was...

    The New Elite Commandos

    Our original plan for the day was only to do 1, maybe 2 parks that day. It was our last full day at WDW and we had been doing rope drop every day. Our schedule was for MK (MK was also closing at 6 for the first MNSSHP) and we had lunch at BOG at noon so we decided to not do rope drop that day...

    The New Elite Commandos

    We've always been rope drop to closing ppl (even with the kids were super little). We just got back from a trip and my kids are now 14 and 17 and my 17 yr old was the one who wanted to not do rope drop and come back and take a nap. We did find ourselves slowing down more than we use to and...

    FOP-rope drop or before close?

    We were just there Aug 11th-18th. We had a FP for FOP on our 6th day. We wanted to try and ride it before that though. We went there about 40 min before closing on our first night and waited 90 mins. Absolutely loved the ride so we went back 2 more times- same strategy before our FP day...

    Bag search /check

    We were just there Aug 11th-18th. I saw mixed results with bag check. I saw some with wristlets go through no bag lines; but more go through bag lines. I also had mixed results with how thorough they checked (I don't mind them being as thorough as they want though). I had some that made me...

    Things learned from rope dropping

    We were just there the 11th-18th and rope dropped HS. There was EMH of 7:00am. We got there about 6:40. We went straight to TSM bc we had a later FP for SD. We walked right on TSM. Rode it 2x before it was a posted 10 min wait. We also went right on to Alien Saucers with no wait. Everybody...

    When it comes to Typhoon Lagoon, does anyone know...

    Speaking of Typhoon Lagoon... We rented a beachcomber shack for the first time. I've received conflicting information on if we can go in a little early before park opens to get our shack and wait there till park opens. When I booked the reservation; they didn't say anything about going early...

    2018 Free Dining Watch Thread V3

    We had POR booked for 8-11 to 8/18 and switched to AKL with free dining. If you plan on doing Table service meals regardless of free dining - it will actually turn out cheaper to stay at AKL. POR was $4028 (no dining plan) and AKL pool view was $5300 (with dining). We would have ended up...

    Disney Resorts to start charging parking fees....

    I'm struggling with this as well. Deluxe guests are already paying a higher premium for the rooms; why should they pay more in parking; there isn't any additional benefit with deluxe parking

    How do you find out about Disney Visa discounts/promos?

    I'm just wondering- for those of you who have a Disney Visa- how do you find out about discounts and free-dining before the general public? I've had a Disney Visa card for the past 5 yrs and I never get an email or regular mail about free-dining promotions. The only way I ever hear about it is...
