AKL LITE II - We're #2, but we try harder....

[wendypooh]

Thanks! He's SO much fun (usually). He's discovered he has a will. And a voice. No really, he still is an "easy baby" overall. Tonight when we put him to bed he looked at us and waved. It was ridicliously adorable.

It does feel like ages ago - but then again, time has flown by sooooo quickly!

AWWWW - He's too cute for words!!!

 

[wendypooh]

Thanks for all the pics everyone - they are great, but making me "homesick"!!!

 

[PNO4TE]

BTW - great pictures PNO4TE!

Thank you, ma'am!

Well, I called DVC MS this morning to ask what exactly would I have to do with my AKLV points if I have to cancel my May trip (which looks more like reality every day ) I feel so much better since calling...I thought the points would go back into my Oct '08 use year and I'd have to use them by Oct '09, which would never work...I have a huge gathering in Sept. (That I am not cancelling, if I have to beg, borrow or steal )
I forgot about banking!

IF I do have to cancel, I have to do so by 4/16, then I have until 5/31 to bank them, and that would give me 160 AKLV points to play with in 2010 Which would mean instead of my father and I being squished into a studio, we could get a 1 bedroom!

I have no idea why I am telling you all this, I am just throwing myself a pity rotfl: and my cold medicine is making me stupid

Good for you to find the positive in it all!

Feel better!

I am glad there is a silver lining to your storm clouds. I am still hoping things will turn around for you and your trip will still be on!

Thank you both

Holy Hannah! That your LOWS, right? I really hope that icky weather goes away by the 20th! It's going to be highs of single digits/negative here this coming week, so 30 WOULD seem like a heat wave, but I really, really, really want to not have to wear a winter coat the entire week!

I hope it does. Yes, that is lows. I have cut and pasted the extended forecast for Orlando from WESH2's website...we should pull out of it by the first of next week...(the cut and paste is a little off, but I am sure you can figure it out).


Forecast for Orlando

Ahhhh.... but look at those lovely highs! I wish I could take 'em and be happy to wear my fleece in the mornings.

Highs not bad...and I guaranty there will be people in the pools! LOL

I am really getting bad...we secretly tease all the tourists out in 65 degree weather in their shorts and teeshirts! Meanwhile, we are all bundled up!

Great pictures -- makes me wish I were still there. When were you there? Did we just miss each other? I was there 12/18-24. I remember several folks on this thread were going all around the same time.

Also - I can't make out the artist's name. It is Robert something, but I can't find it anywhere and can't tell from his signature on the print. Bensmom, do you know?

We were at the Poly Dec. 9-14 and moved over the AKL until Dec. 19.

 

[John's Mom]

....soooooo, what the heck IS it??

I'm assuming that, since the lion's head was an ornament on the Zawadi Christmas tree, it probably--no, most definitely--is snow.

Or the lion is just very, very old!

Hey, I just saw your post. My apologies! I haven't a clue. There is an artist, who lives here in Celebration, by the name of Larry Dotson. I am sure everyone here has seen his work. However, his work is more of Disney landscapes and different scenes around the parks in paintings. I may be out there this weekend and, if I remember, I shall dart into Zawadi and check him out for you.

 

[John's Mom]

I was going through my receipts from WDW. There is a bartender at Uzima Springs Pool bar named Laura W. I'm assuming that she has probably been at the AKL for quite a while. When I asked for a "Nahtazu," she knew how to make it.

Thank you, ma'am!

...I love your castle siggie pic....

And we got there late on the 18th. Who knows, we may have passed you in the hall.

Okay, I have to ask. What's in a "Nahtazu?" I may need to get one of those next time.

Wendypooh and I tried to pass each other in the hall for a number of days last February and even left each other messages, but it did not work out!!

But then, my parents just called me to tell me that they got a letter from a woman who was in the same class in our school as our Russian exchange student Olessia who stayed with us in 1991/92. They were friends then but everyone had lost touch with Olessia and now they met by chance in the bathroom at a hotel in Turkey!!!
