AKL for Jan 2009

[skipperkim]

Cast: Me, DBF, DB, and DSIL. Maybe more to follow.
Setting: AKL concierge, Jan 24-28 2009 (DB's 55th bday on 25th, my 50th on 26th)

I'm in the planning stages right now, no ressie. I have lots of questions, I'm hoping you all can help.

1. DBF has AAA and DB and DSIL live in Orlando. Which would get the better rate?

2. I've done some reading about AKL and now I want a savannah view with Zebras on it. Which one should we request? I also want to be on the same floor as the lounge and in a quiet room.

3. I want to do the Sunrise Breakfast Safari on DB's bday, the whole reason to stay there concierge, and for mine breakfast at Cindy's. If DB has his kids come down, lucky man has 3 granddaughters while I have no grandkids at all. That's so not fair. Do you think that while we are on the safari they will make a big deal of his bday?

4. I've tried to find a photo of the inside of the armoire, but to no avail. Does anyone have one. I'd love photos of a concierge room. I've seen the ones at allears, all 3 of them.

I'm sure I'll have more questions once I actually start putting this together. I just need a starting point. Thanks in advance.

I don't think I can answer all your questions, but in terms of better discount, Florida Resident will probably beat the AAA discount. However the AAA discount will come out (next summer) before the Florida Resident one (next fall), so I would try to get the AAA discount and then switch it later if the Florida Resident discount comes out.

The Sunrise Safari is only on Sundays & Thursdays, so you'll need to check to see if one of those days is your DB's birthday. As far as your DB's grandkids, if you were saying that they would come on the safari, you may want to check on that. Everyone may have to be on the reservation to be able to go on the safari, but I'm not totally sure about that.
