Is it a lot more expensive or not too bad?

 

[Happydog]

What a great Friday gift for you! Excitement is an understatement I am sure!

I'd be thrilled, too!

 

[creativeamanda]

Hey! We (my daughter and I) are going to be in Disney at the Same Time!

Of course, we're doing ASMo, but I'm really gonna have to look through your plans to see what you are doing!

 

[xoktenox]

Yayyyyy for Animal Kingdom Lodge!!

That is so exciting, and a savannah view none the less! Wow, you are so lucky, how psyched are the kids? And even though Charles probably wouldn't admit it, he's probably pretty excited for this too!

 

[Charleston Princess]

WOO HOO!!! I am so happy for you guys Jackie!!!!!! You will ABSOLUTELY fall in love with the AKL!!!!!!

Thank you! I am pretty sure I am already in love with it!

First off, I love the new haircut! It's adorable and really seems to lighten your hair up. Very cute!

And Woo Hoo for the change over to AKL!!!!!

I'm so excited for you! Your going to love it there. When I stayed there back in 2003 my favorite time of the day was at night when my mom and I would sit on our balcony with a cup of tea watching the giraffes eat outside our window. So, so excited for you!

Thank you! Now that we have a savannah view I have visions of morning coffee on the balcony watching the animals. Chelsea is hoping that we are near the giraffes!

JACKIE!! I'm so excited for you!! You get your dream resort AND you saved some $$$$$ does it get any better than that!!

I agree you need to eat at the new restaurant and come back and tell all of us how much you enjoyed it!! LOTS OF PICTURES!!!!

I need to get with you again about decorating notebooks and binders...its time for me to start updating mine for the fall LOL!!! That and I want to make a notebook like you suggested!!!!

ONCE AGAIN YAY!! I'm so happy for you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing my excitement with me. I will try and find the post about the trip notebooks from my last PTR for you tomorrow!

Yayayayayayaya!!! I am so very excited for you!!!!

Thank you! I feel complete now.

WOOOHOOOO ON AKL!!!!! That is my dream resort too and, as God is my witness, I will stay at AKL one day.

Ahhh, Scarlett always had the best lines. I said that, too, and as soon as my trip is paid off I will feel like I did it!

I saw your ticker on MeMom's thread and had to come over right away. I am so excited for you and it is even a savannah view room. I am secretly hoping that we get a really good tax return this year so I can upgrade there too. Lexi would love it as she loves animals. I have to say that your happy news definately made my day brighter.

Thank you! I am glad my news brightened your day -- I know mine was a little sunnier because of it!

YEA!!! Congrats!!! That is definately on my list of top places I want to stay, so you'll have to give us all the details!!!

I will do my DIS board best to provide every detail of our stay.

Can I just say that I am not surprised....not even a little bit? I just had this glorious, wonderful feeling that a room was going to open up, I seriously did. Once the switch was made from BC, I knew that that meant that the planets were going to align and all things were going to fall into place for you to go to AKL-----especially now that it has been SERIOUSLY becoming a resort of choice in our household too!!! I have often said that we are so much alike, that it would only make sense that we would naturally start gravitating to the same resort!!!!! I am so thrilled and ecstatic for you!!!! HAPPY FRIDAY INDEED!

Ah, Jen, you are the best! I hope you decide to stay there, too. Now let's just keep our fingers crossed that our tax return is enough -- I need a certain amount to make this a reality. We should be fine as we didn't make too much more than last year, and I don't need the full amount.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hi Jackie!

I've seen you posting on some of my DIS friends' reports, so I thought I would stop by!

Back to the links!!

Kathy

I am so glad that you came by!!!

He's Disney Daddy now, of course!


Kathy

Perfect!!!

Positively thrilled for you!! You all are going to LOVE AKL!!!!!!!

Your pictures did have something to do with my renewed desire to stay there...

And your pictures, too, Trixie!!! They made me remember all the reasons I really wanted to stay there!

Is it a lot more expensive or not too bad?

I am looking at it through Fuzzy Disney Math glasses -- it is $200 less than our Beach Club vacation was going to be.

What a great Friday gift for you! Excitement is an understatement I am sure!

I'd be thrilled, too!

An extreme understatement!

Hey! We (my daughter and I) are going to be in Disney at the Same Time!

Of course, we're doing ASMo, but I'm really gonna have to look through your plans to see what you are doing!

Oh, I hope we run into each other -- that would be so much fun!

Yayyyyy for Animal Kingdom Lodge!!

That is so exciting, and a savannah view none the less! Wow, you are so lucky, how psyched are the kids? And even though Charles probably wouldn't admit it, he's probably pretty excited for this too!

The kids are very excited -- especially Chelsea -- she is my Disney girl! Charles was the one counting down this morning, "Three minutes before seven, two minutes before seven, one minute before seven, it's seven, Jackie -- you should be calling."

 

[Nicole786]

YAAAAY IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! THE AKL ROCKS!!!! Im waiting until they release the AP rates and availability of a standard room at WL or AKL, we'll see!! I can't wait!

 

[MeMom]

Now let's just keep our fingers crossed that our tax return is enough -- I need a certain amount to make this a reality. We should be fine as we didn't make too much more than last year, and I don't need the full amount.

Sorry I haven't been tuned in for all of the excitement. It's been an exceptionally trying week at school. Congratulations on your booking. However, you leave the door open for a little cliffhanging suspense with your 'let's keep our fingers crossed' stuff.

I'll look forward to seeing pictures of the animals from the balcony. That would definitely be cool to wake up to. Now if you could just get enough income tax back to get a webcam, then we could sit out on the balcony with you.
Sort of.

 

[Megablocks]

I am SO excited for you!!!! I'm so glad that a room opened up and that you managed to get it! That is an awesome start to the weekend.

Thank you! I am even more impatient for June now -- I need to try out that balcony and watch the animals!

Unfortunately, I understand about trying weeks at school only too well! I bet you are doubly glad it is the weekend now!

Unless something absolutely horrible happens in regards to our tax return (which it shouldn't because this year wasn't really any different than the year before), it shouldn't be a source of suspense -- I just always get paranoid about these things.

I am SO excited for you!!!! I'm so glad that a room opened up and that you managed to get it! That is an awesome start to the weekend.

Thank you! It was an awesome start to the weekend -- I hope the rest of it is just as good!

I'm so happy for you Jackie!!! Persistence pays off.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I'm so happy for you Jackie!!! Persistence pays off.

I think my checking the site four-five times a day was a little more than persistance -- obsession, maybe?

 

[TarzansKat]

I'm so happy for you, hon! I know that was your hearts desire, so this is just fantastic! You and the whole family are sure to love it.

Does this mean we'll be seeing some more ADR changes?

And DUDE! I totally need to hear every little detail about your visit to the King Tut exhibit, which I am dying to see. If there are no other Egyptology type geeks reading this trip report, feel free to PM me.

Wow, Charles is totally out of the closet on his Disney obsession! He's come a long way!!

Not sure I'm an Egyptology geek but would love to hear about your trip and see pictures!

[brookelizabeth]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was scrolling, very quickly, through a page on my TR in attempts of finding a particular post when I saw a black ticker fly by.

"What was that?" I wondered.

Scroll up slowly.

"JACKIE GOT AKL!" I almost yelled it! Good thing I didn't, Henry is sleeping!!

I BOLTED over here as fast as my 4 year old computer would allow and read your entry.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Creepy dancing men just for you!

I'm so stinkin' happy for you! YOUR DREAM RESORT! You will love it there, as you already know! It's just "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

Charles was the one counting down this morning, "Three minutes before seven, two minutes before seven, one minute before seven, it's seven, Jackie -- you should be calling."

I LOVE this. What a good man!
