My DD & I fell in love with AKL CL during our June trip.

So much love that we changed our Poly CL Lagoon View reservation to AKL CL for our upcoming August trip. (nothing against the Poly, but everything about AKL was fantastic!) I treasure the memories created on that trip, and have my string of beads (earned from the AKL activities) hanging in my desk at work to remind me to keep working hard so I can go back!
Just a quick update on plans. I booked a Royal River View room at POR for our first night (we will probably get to WDW close to midnight). DD can wake up surrounded by princesses on her 16th birthday.
On her birthday, we have planned to head to take a boat to Disney Springs for a visit to the Void in the morning, followed by lunch at Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'. After lunch we will drive to AKL to check in for our 9-night stay there. Some other plans that we have during the trip are:
- Sense of Africa tour (repeat from last trip, but we enjoyed it so much)
- Disney After Hours on August 11 (we did this in March of 2017 and enjoyed it, hope it's just as good in summer!)
- Star Wars dessert party (another repeat from last trip, but worth repeating!)

- Lunch at Sanaa - yummy
- Soak in all that is AKL and just relax and enjoy my time there!!
Our trip in June was a mother/daughter trip. This time, my DH (whose favorite resort is Poly) is going with us - I hope he enjoys AKL just as much as we do!
