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

[krismanda]

Are there any websites or blogs devoted to AKL? I've seen some for other resorts but haven't been able to find one about AKL. Thanks!

We are going for a short 3 day stay at the end of July. I was poking around on Disneyworld.com and saw a FL resident room/ticket package w/ free memory maker. I was originally booked at CBR but it was actually cheaper to go to AKL!!! I am so excited! I booked a standard room but this is the resort DH always wanted to try and our DD loves loves loves animals. She will be super excited when she sees it.

Only a few more days for me. I am beyond excited! I know it's silly but I love AKL so much I almost tear up when the ME bus pulls up to the hotel. My job is so stressful and AKL is just the opposite. I can taste my zebra domes now...

Less than a month to go for our first Disney Vacation! I'm so excited - we're staying at Kidani.

Booked May 5th-11th 2015. Kidani Savannah view! Oh, this is going to be a long countdown.

....at least it's less than a year away...

22 more days for me until I'm at AKL! I can hardly wait! Now if those darn MagicBands would just show up I would stop worrying that something may go wrong!

Hi all...surprising my wife with a stay at AKL for our anniversary! She knows about the trip but thinks were staying at Pop century...I'm so excited about our first stay at a deluxe, but even more excited to see her reaction when we get off the plane at MCO and head for the AKL bus!! 36 days till we arrive

Oh I hope you are right! I'm getting really nervous about the MBs not showing up! Wondering if because I booked through Orbitz it might have something to do with it???

...just curious...did you get a discount code? Just wondering, because it was the same price for me whether I booked through Orbitz or directly through WDW....

Yes! I saved almost 50% off rack rate by booking through Orbitz for AKL. Almost 20% off the summer rate. But I booked it back at the end of March when the Summer rate came out and Orbitz had a 20% off promo code!

I booked around the same time through Orbitz and was able to secure a Club Level room for $300 per night including tax. Haven't seen deals like that since…

Just this once, I'd recommend taking one of the limo services and doing the surprise up right. They know ahead of time where you are headed so you can avoid having your wife finding out where you're taking here until you blow past Pop on the Osceola Parkway. It'll only run you like 60-something bucks for the one-way.

May I ask how you found out about the discount code?
TIA

Hi I booked my August stay through Orbitz. The only thing though is you have to change the address for the shipping of your magic bands or they will go to Orbitz in Chicago. I changed mine right away to my home address.

Laura sorry we missed each other again!

I'm back at AKL Jambo studio 8/4-6 before our family BWI trip. Looking forward to relaxing at the resort those 2 days!
