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

[RachelTori]

Neat! Diana, Laura - were you dancing along with the crowd?

I think that was during *Prosecco time* so we were likely at Epcot, uh.......... getting to know it! Diana, do you remember?!!

Kidding aside, I have seen several ceremonies like that one - and it's always a joy to see the CMs share their culture.

I've heard Katy is awesome in person. Sounds like your fun & different Saturday night was a success!

Thanks for mentioning the Marina Inn. My cousin is planning a trip to MB next February or March and doesn't have a clue where to stay. I'll pass this info along!

Great Marina Inn is a very nice place to stay. Katy was great

What an amazing shot, johnsonet. You must have had fantastic seats!

Hi guys...got back from CA late Monday night and I think I'm still jetlagged! Had a great time in Disneyland and San Diego. Very impressed with "the Land."

Also, I have received inside scoop pics of Kidani Village and Sanaa from my friend who will be working there! Looks like a lot of fun. They are already fully booked for May 1 and 2. I made ressies for Saturday, May 9, and all I could get was 5:15! Eeek. Can't wait to get over there and have a looksee.

Wow, 5:15 was the only time available? I can't wait to hear your review.

Me, too.

Yes, can you believe that? One of the managers from Jiko is the new manager over there. I am hoping I can schmooze a bit to get a more pliable time, say, 7ish?! LOL

I'd post pics, but I hate dealing with the whole Photobucket thing...what's the newest, easiest way to post them? I have all the pics on Flickr. I know you can do guest passes, but not sure how I would do it here. A penny for anyone's thoughts.

I've never used Flickr but there must be a way to post from there!

I'd love to see your photos too, I went to UCLA for a Semester and summer (not nearly long enough!) and I loooove LA!! Wish I'd gone to DL more!

I used to live in LA and got to DL at least several times a month.

This was WAY back in the days of A, B, C, D & E "coupons"!!

Did you? That's neat. California is a different animal than the East Coast. I am not sure I could ever live there, but it sure is fun visiting. This was my third trip there, but my first to DL. There is a castmember we got to know quite well. She came to Disney through the College Program and started working at Sandcastles Club, which is the kids' club at Beach Club. We really bonded. Ben loved her. Well, she left to go back to school and just told us the other day that she had some bad news. She was planning on coming back to WDW to work for the summer, but she got another offer from Disneyland and she would be moving to California instead. I said, "That's not bad news...that's just another excuse to fly to CA to visit"!

Anyway, I'll figure out how to post, even going to Photobucket and post some DL pics. We never got near LA because we were heading to San Diego, and it was out of our way.

Wow! What a lucky lady! I'd live anywhere in the States if it meant I could leave England! (Although I wasn't a huge fan of Milwaukee - but the surrounding towns are gorgeous so I would cope I'm sure! And the mall was pretty good. No Milwaukee is still better than London!)

Oh, I hear you! I personally know several people from the UK currently living here in Celebration, FL. I have heard of Brits wanting to leave in droves and that the UK is in a sorry state. I feel so bad for people and what they have to go through just to get Visas, etc. I thought we were allies. I have a friend now who wants to visit his kids in England. He is afraid that if he goes, he may not be able to get back into the US and vice versa. Why? I don't get it.

Hi, there. Would to get some help here, search wasn't helping me much, so I'll try here!!!

I would like to find a floor plan for the AKL/AKV rooms, specifically the 2 bedroom.

Also, do the 2 bedrooms have 2 entrances, or 1. I know the 2 bedrooms are a 1 bdr and a Studio put together, so it makes some sense. TIA!

If you go to the DVC website, there are floor plans there.

I think all 2 BRs in Jambo House have two entrances. But if you have a dedicated two BR in Kidani, there will be only one entrance if it is like other dedicated 2 BR. If no one here knows for sure, try the DVC forums. LisaS is a real expert on AKV.

Hope this helps:

Two-bedroom Villas:
Five of these rooms are in the value category (945 sq.ft.). Each two-bedroom villa sleeps up to nine. Master bedroom suite with king-size bed. Flat panel TV and DVD player in living room, flat panel TV in master bedroom. Full kitchen facilities. Laundry area with stackable washer and dryer. Private balcony. Non-value two-bedroom villas are 1,075 sq. ft.

Looks like it's a lockoff, with two entrances.

Thanks, BensMom. That appears to be a dedicated in Kidani.

Jambo House has a different kitchen configuration and I don't think there are any dedicated in Jambo House. There is also a third bathroom in Kidani 2BR but not in Jambo House.

The square footage of a 2 BR in Kidani is greater than one in Jambo House.
