Do you know not five minutes ago I was contemplating asking the same thing. They can keep you on the wait list until 7 days before your trip so I'm thinking there's a possibility, but how good of one that somebody else is going to change/cancel their trip I don't know.

Yeah, it's rather doubtful, but stranger things have happened, I guess.

I have never got my CL once on a waitlist.... Actually I have NEVER got anything once I was waitlisted. But I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks...I've only waitlisted 2 other times and got it both times, BWV during F & W Fest

Appears the 24-hour park opening has been confirmed confused, but that's only "part of" the announcement???

I dunno, I've not heard anything confirmed yet

sounds like a wonderful vaca!

Thanks

Even though it's about 5 months away and it's only 4 nights and it's no parks, I am itching to plan something Scott thinks I'm nuts, the whole point is to relax and NOT spend a lot of money...I agree, but I wouldn't be me without a plan.

So, the 1st day we usually take the 1st flight of the day to get there asap, but we want to be able to drop Beauty off and not pay for an extra night, so we're dropping her off in the morn, and we've booked the 11:50am flight.
We should land around 2:45, should be about 4:15 ish when we get to AKLV and the plan is Mara for dinner and drinks at one of the lounges.

Tues-I dunno? Monorail crawl perhaps with dinner at one of the CS places.

Wed-we are booking the wine & cheese hr at Jiko for $25 pp and calling it dinner We loved it in Oct thought it was money well spent.

Thurs-DTD during the day...Apps & drinks from Raglan?? Or eat at Earl's?
That night, strolling around the BW apps & drinks at Big River Grille?

Fri we leave so chill at the pool until 2pm ME comes for us.

Thoughts? Any holes in my theories?

This is great!!!!!!


I will never get there.....

But glad that you are catching up with Kimmar...

Never. Happen.

Remember me I feel like I haven't posted here in such a long time.... well actually the 17th Glad everyone had a great Christmas and can't believe it is NYE tomorrow.

Good morning J & K's!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Our was ok...We had a death in the family, and elderly relative that lived a long, full life, but it's still sad I will always miss my Great Aunt Dolly.

Sorry to hear about your Great Aunt.

Booked 4 nights in a studio savanna view @ Kidani..Waitlisted for Jambo Concierge studio, but aren't getting our hopes up 5 months out.

We are taking some of the cash my aunt left me to pay for the flight that we dont have enough miles for, and for food...We plan on only CS meals, as it's cheaper and we dont see the value in getting a TIW for this one trip. We HAVE to do Sanaa as it's our fav, but appetizers and drinks, no entrees.
No parks, just chilling at the resort: pool, etc..Pool bars mostly We'll do monorail crawl one day, we'll do DTD during the day, and stroll the BW one night.

We must be insane, but if we didnt already have 4 nights boarding for Beauty pre-paid, I wouldnt even be considering it.

On the 20th, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy came to visit the resort and that was fun. The line was super long but i was a good mom and stood in line for my 2 year old to get a nice pic with Mickey & Minne. Selfishly (and please don't flame me), I wish Club Level guests could get a special VIP pass or maybe a private M&G at the Lounge (please, don't shoot..I just think it would be a nice perk ). They also had a Photopass photographer right by the Christmas tree every day so that was nice.

I'm jealous about Mickey & Minnie coming to the resort. Is this new?

Good morning, Jamborinis and Kidanites!

I believe that this is post 29,000!

Congrats on 29,001 now!

WOW I'll have to go check it out. I thought the new perk was pay for an AP for 365 days and get an extra day 2012

I'm cutting back in 2012 -- only going to WDW once!!!


(ok, that's not exactly true, but I am going to cut back slightly in '12 -- baby steps!! )

Ok to be honest, I am in the same boat.

me too I wish they would open up more resorts too...

Me too. I keep watching each new resort announcement to see if they add more CL rooms to DVC.

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you have a blessed 2012

Happy New Year!

OK, in the bonehead department:
I made beef stew tonight and as usual, I was planning on eating in the recliner in front of the TV. So what happens..........

I sit down and then put the plate with the bowl on top on one leg... (cue the ominous music)


What happens?


Yes, it slipped off and the next thing I know, I have hot beef stew on my other leg!


So after quickly getting my jeans off with the hot stew, my leg is red, but at least not blistering. So I am sitting here with a cold face cloth on my leg.

Luckily it isn't burned that badly, but talk about bonehead moves!

OH NO!!! Do you have a dog that was happy to help clean up the stew? What a bummer. I hope you still had some more to eat

OK, here are a couple of questions from this AKL/V first-timer...

Looks like we'll be 5th or 6th floor since we're in a villa. The first post mentions that these floors are a little high to get good animal views. Would love opinions. If it's an issue, we'd go with two regular rooms and request/hope for 3rd/4th floor rooms.

I'd also love to hear about the kid camp. I have six and nine year olds who love animals (hence the importance of our room view). We may or may not make it by 3:00 on Saturday (our arrival day) to take advantage of the Bush Camp, but I'd love to hear any thoughts.

Thanks!!!
