    Disney's ANIMAL KINGDOM LODGE Information & Questions

    So I did my on-line check-in. It didnt seem to have an option for bad types so I chose Upper floor Kudu trail (its a standard view room res.). I really need to emphasize the need for two queen beds as my son in 6'4". Bunkbeds would be disastrous for us. Anyone know the fax number?

    Disney's ANIMAL KINGDOM LODGE Information & Questions

    Never having stayed at AKL before, I have a "standard" room reservation. I am thinking of asking for 3rd floor Kudu trail. My question is, are there observation points on the third floor or do you basically need to get down to the lobby if your room has no view (or animals that is)?

    2014 Epcot Food and Wine Festival 9/19-11/10

    My daughter is in the CP program and was selected to work at W&F. I believe the first week she will be working in Greece, so if you see "Erin" from Pikes Peak say "Hi" for me!

    Well actually, my original post did say "(both quotes are for four adults)", but regardless, to confuse matters even more...tonight we were able to change the room from a 40% discount F&F to (three in room) to a 50% discount CM-In-Room (four in room) and reduced our bill an additional $60! If...

    To be fair, I also stated a room price of $160 but it was slightly higher for weekend days. I did notice that expedia seemed to charge only about half as much as Disney for taxes and fees. But to the original posters original quanfry it is still true that CM-in-room is cheaper than expedia

    That price ($1702) includes taxes and fees. For example I could get 3 nights for $710. Each night was $160.50 so there are $230 in tax and fees ($76.66 per night)

    AKL LITE unofficial FAQ thread#10 - I believe that's known as a 'Jambo Dozen'

    Agreed! Took me a while to figure it out. Seems to be a trend this year. Last year when I was going to AoA in November it was a piece of cake to find the AoA site and the November group. This year with AKL in December, it took me a while to figure out AKL and still havent really found a...

    DCP Room Discounts

    I think people are confusing the special cast offer available thru October 19th that offers 60%/50% as opposed to the normal 50%/40% discounts. Doesnt mean you cant get cp discounted rez's after October 19th only that you cant get the higher discounts (yet!)

    DCP Room Discounts

    I concur. Selections are very limited. AKL seems always available, sometimes Saratoga, Cabins, or ASMusic but that seems it. Thats for F&F and even less for cm-in-room

    I think there is a very limited number of "standard" cm discounts out there for December. By "standard" I mean 40% F&F or 50% cm-in-room. It seems the only thing readily available in December right now is AKL. What is not out there yet is the special holiday discounts. In know I have a 40%...

    Disney college program

    It's definitely possible to know earlier, but it might be dependant on managerial style, position, etc. My daughter is qsfb and already knows which days she has off during our December visit. Thefirst two days she is on a "wait" list but the other days she already got off.

    I wish I could be a callous as you. Many of these kids are away from home for the first time and things like insurance are a shole new concept. I have been in the work force for 39 years now and not once has a company automatically enrolled me in a health plan. They have always been...

    The problem is a lot of these CP kids get the package and dont realize they need to cancel it. If they are still covered by parents insurance (and chances are they are), starting their own insurance may make them ineligible to use their parents.

    Enrollment is automatic. She has to take action to stop enrollment. She should have gotten a booklet on benefits. Theres a number to call on front page. If she fails to cancel by a specified deadline they will deduct $10 a week for insurance that just barely covers the Obamacare minimun (ie...

    What custom themed MagicBand would you buy from Disney if they made it?

    I'd buy one with a "classic" look. I know early on there were pics of an e-ticket MB that looked pretty cool, but I dont thnk it ever came to fruition. Being a guy I would like a classier/adult MB and really dont care if it doesnt beer or light up.
