Is it true that we are now on AKL LITE Six??!?! Yes, bah-LEE DAT!

[Pinkocto]

We are soooo excited as this is our first time flying down as a family instead of driving. DH and I went down last December and stayed at Pop for our 15th. So this will be our 3rd year for MVMCP

We are super excited!!! I am scared about staying deluxe that I may never want to go back. But my family really loves the food court and we are not "fancy" people in our eating, so the restaurants at AKV worry me. Karen

Flying is the way to go! You'll be there so quick you'll never want to drive again. Yep, deluxe is going to spoil you! You're going to love it! There's a QS restaurant, The Mara, that has less fancy options. Boma has options for everybody, and it is all delicious. And you can always get groceries delivered to the resort if you're really worried about it.

Our trip was originally March 10 - 17 at AKV - Kidani...2 br for 9 of us. DH and I are flying and the other 7 are driving down. When we went to book our flights, we found we could save well over $100 by coming home Monday instead of Saturday...so we booked a studio at BLT for 3/17 and 3/19. I am so excited...never thought we would ever get to try BLT.

Hooray!!! How excellent for more days on vacation!!!

Bob is scheduled to have cataract surgery in January. We are hoping to get in sometime in the next 6 weeks or so that we don't have to deal with our insurance deductible again next year. They are hoping that the lens they implant will improve his vision considerably since the corneal scar from the abrasion he got while in the hospital is impairing it considerably. Keep on swimming....

I'm so glad the surgery is now scheduled. I hope it works out with the insurance Bad Bad news about hospital injuries, I'm so sorry that happened

Hello AKL lovers! I have also been lurking on this thread for about a week now and thought it was about time to say hello.

It's official. We will be staying at AKL from March 3 - March 8! We will be staying Pool View with hopes of a possible upgrade. We stayed here on our first trip in September 2001 but my youngest daughter was only 14 months and doesn't even remember. My oldest was 4 1/2 so she's pretty foggy too. I guess it will be like staying for the first time I'm sure it will be a wonderful trip and both of my girls are very excited to be staying at AKL.

I'm sure I'll be back to ask questions and input. This seems like a very close-knit group. I'm glad you are all here for us "newbies".

Have a great weekend

So glad you came out of lurkdome! We will help with any questions you have Congratulations on your trip!!!

I can't possibly catch up

I just wanted to say it's good to hear from Wendy You've been missed, girl, and I'm thinking of you

 

[franandaj]

Boy this thread moves so fast! Take a couple afternoons for cleaning and I'm four pages behind!

hello friends!!

I am so happy the tree is up!! I can't wait to see it!

I found out on Tuesday that I need another surgery so tomorrow morning I go in..I am really hoping it is a simple fix and won't interfer with my trip in 3 weeks..I am if I will be sore!!

I hope everything went well and you feel great for your trip!

I am already on the train, I will have to take care of it tomorrow when I get to my desk.

No worries! We have time!

Hi everyone, its me!!!!! just wanted to quickly pop in and say that the surgery went well, and im doing well. the brace is horrible, but, maybe soon i can get one thats not so bad! as for the arm, its worse than before, but well take care of that soon enough. i am feeling alot better, the pain is much much beteer and im recoveringvery nicely. I do want to say that im sitting here in tears though as i write this, i got the wonderful card just now, its amazing and i feel so blessed to have such good friends,it means the world to me, its hard to express how much i appreciate it and all of you, thank you all so so much. again, im doing good, getting beter and stronger each day, its hard for me to sit here too long,so brandi will continue with updates till i can get back, but, i had to personally saythank you to al of my sweet friends, i cherish all of u
you dearly. hugs to all

So glad you're feeling a little better, and so happy we could brighten your day!

Hi all you wonderful AKL lovers! I've been lurking on this thread for a couple of weeks now. But since I made my AKV reservation for next October this afternoon, I figured I should say hi!

DBF and I are renting DVC points and staying in a Savannah View studio in Jambo from October 6-12. We've never even been to the resort so we're both excited to see it for the first time.

I'm sure I'll have a million questions sometime in the next 11 months until the trip, but for now I just wanted to introduce myself.

You will totally love it! Glad you emerged from lurkdom.

We will be at Jambo house Sav. view from 12/1 - 12/4.

This will be our first time staying Deluxe, as we've only stayed at ASMo and Pop.

Very excited!!!

Karen

I've never stayed at a value, but I'll bet you won't want to go back after AKL!

Our trip was originally March 10 - 17 at AKV - Kidani...2 br for 9 of us. DH and I are flying and the other 7 are driving down. When we went to book our flights, we found we could save well over $100 by coming home Monday instead of Saturday...so we booked a studio at BLT for 3/17 and 3/19. I am so excited...never thought we would ever get to try BLT.

That's great extra days and a new resort! I didn't think I would like BLT, but we stayed last year for the Destination D event. We liked it so much we're doing a split stay with Kidani in May.

They are doing well these days ,I am even afraid to tell you so ...
Dad , at 86 , is coming next Saturday here in Milano to give a conference on
"vintage" airplanes , his hobby - we are so pleased he is well enough as to be doing this !
Mama and myself plan a trip to center town for some Christmas shopping ... while crowds aren't crazy !!!

Thanks for asking !! laura

That's great that at that age they can still get around and have their wits about them!

Good morning, Jamborinis and Kidanites!

How nice to have new faces on here and lots of people planning trips. I hope all the surgeries scheduled don't impact anyone's trips too badly. Scooters are not necessarily bad things. Renting one enabled Bob to come to WDW in October! Also so nice to hear from Wendy!!

Bob is scheduled to have cataract surgery in January. We are hoping to get in sometime in the next 6 weeks or so that we don't have to deal with our insurance deductible again next year. They are hoping that the lens they implant will improve his vision considerably since the corneal scar from the abrasion he got while in the hospital is impairing it considerably. Keep on swimming....

I hope everything goes well for you and Bob!

I got that now too.... So funny on my part... when I read this, I was thinking Fran and Alison are going to be in the Wine View Lounge for a long time.... I guess I am still stuck in F&W mode...

We could probably put away a lot of wine in that time!

Hello AKL lovers! I have also been lurking on this thread for about a week now and thought it was about time to say hello.

It's official. We will be staying at AKL from March 3 - March 8! We will be staying Pool View with hopes of a possible upgrade. We stayed here on our first trip in September 2001 but my youngest daughter was only 14 months and doesn't even remember. My oldest was 4 1/2 so she's pretty foggy too. I guess it will be like staying for the first time I'm sure it will be a wonderful trip and both of my girls are very excited to be staying at AKL.

I'm sure I'll be back to ask questions and input. This seems like a very close-knit group. I'm glad you are all here for us "newbies".

Have a great weekend

I'm sure your daughters will love it!
