Our favorite mission is Germany also.

How are you going to get that big tiki home?!

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

Hey Aaron. I love your sunset picture at the Poly. How'd you win the tiki? That's so awesome!!!

Wait... tiki-fest??? I thought I heard another pod-caster talking about tiki-fest... hmmmmmmm...

 

[dpuck1998]

Absolutely not! I feel the same exact way! (Except for the 2 mile run.)


Ok, is it wrong to never have been somewhere and want to live there? My daughter wanted to move to Celebration last year. (She is an adult and has my two young grandsons). Well every time I see a picture of Celebration I fall more in love! At the time I didn't think it was such a great idea.. Now I'm "homesick". lol

Your family pictures are great!! I love Annas hat!! Too cute!! By the way, we have a concierge stay booked for February and I can't wait!! Looking forward to more!!

We actually looked at property in Celebration....man is it expensive!! Ohh..we've never been there either!

 

[cocowum]

Hey Aaron, great report! Did Tiki fest have a big turnout? Are you going to the dessert party on Thursday? Just curious. Congrats on the Tiki!

See you in a couple of days.

 

[Ciavobella]

Wow, you went to Tiki fest. I love Steve's site. Very cool prize.

Trust me...As fast as our trip is moving it will be here before you know it. You are going to love it up here Paul.

How are you going to get that big tiki home?!

Not sure yet. I may have to call Southwest and see what my options are. I think I can carry it on the plane; however, security may have a field day with me.

Right Dave, but you didn't hear me mention that.

It is expensive, but what a place. It's worth it in my opinion. I'm not sure, but if you ever wanted to buy in Celebration this maybe the time to do it with the way housing is right now. There are many other nice place in the Orlando area though. Celebration is not the "end all, be all".

See you in a couple of days.

We'll be at the dessert party. I think 70 people have signed up to attend. See you guys soon Alicia. I'm hoping all of us can get together this week; you guys, us, Kim, shelly, and maybe some other DISers.

Brandie,

I would agree that size does matter when you are transporting a tiki on an airplane that could take up it's own seat!

Congrats on the Tiki prize Aaron, that's great!

and love the sunset photo at Poly!

Hi Everyone,

We are at the Kidani Village pool. The sun is in and out. We used the Kidani Village fitness center earlier. Later we plan to head to the Boardwalk.

Brandie, we are coming back on Sunday. Kim said you need to go tomorrow night for the both of you.

Sounds awesome! loved the pool complex, can't wait to be back in Dec. How was the gym? Any free weights or all machines?

The pool was great! We did a lot of the activites today; which included hula hoop, chicken dance, and bingo.

The fitness center is pretty nice. They only have dumbells/barbells for free weights. We used them to do bench press, arms and upper body work. I used the locker rooms afterwards. They are pretty nice; however, there's only 1 large shower.

So you two had to shower together

Tuesday, August 4th

Hi Everyone,

We are back from our day. We took the walking path from Jambo House to Kidani Village. We used the fitness center, locker rooms, and spent a good chunk of the afternoon at the Kidani Village pool complex. The weather was pretty good today. The sun was in and out most of the afternoon, but we still got a lot of sun.

We slept in and then walked down to the club lounge for some breakfast. Afterwards we came back to our room, changed for the fitness center, and packed our pool bags.

We took the walking path between the two AKV resorts. Something new I noticed the other day during my run was new signage directing you to Kidani Village and Jambo House. On the signs there are questions about animals. When you get to the next sign you will find the answer. Pretty cool!

We arrived at the fitness center at around 11:30AM. The center has quite a few lifting machines and a decent amount of cardio equipment. There's also rows of barbells which we used to do some free weight lifting. The one thing we really enjoyed about the fitness center was the floor to near ceiling windows most of the way around the room.
Here are some photos of the fitness center

The locker rooms are located across from the fitness center. They are very nice; however, there's only 1 very large shower in each room.

After we finsihed our workout we changed and headed down to the pool area. We really enjoy this pool. It was crowded today. Kidani Village is only half open. I'm afraid when the entire resort opens this pool is going to be crowded all the time. There may not be enough personal space in the actual pool for everyone.

Water play area

At 2:00PM pool activities start. Some pretty nice prizes are awarded. Activites included hula hooping, chicken dancing, and bingo.

We left the pool around 3:45. We walked back to Jambo House. We are headed down to the club lounge for a quick bite to eat. Afterwards we are going to the Boardwalk. We'll probably stop over at Beaches and Cream for some ice cream later provided the weather cooperates.

More to come!

 

[NC Belle]

I like your Tiki.

Great report. The equipment looks great and what an empty gym.

 

[OKW Lover]

I think Disney security needs to do an inventory of the Tiki room before ADP leaves.

If you are having an unofficial meet somewhere just let me know. I can always find an excuse to visit the parks.
