Hi all. Just back. Had booked Studio Villa at Jambo House with Savannah view. We had Pixie Dust spread upon us and when I opened the door and seen a stove I immediately knew we had been upgraded to a one bedroom villa. What a great surprise at 11 pm. (our flight was almost an hour late). We were in room 5271. Had zebras and giraffes first two nights and birds the rest of the time. Did have great animal views on main savannah and seen where they go in to be fed (they line up around 9 am for their 9:30 feeding). Will post more in next few days.

So glad you enjoyed your trip and that was sprinkled around. Have a great day.

look forward to the pictures.

[dgbg100106]

WOW - that is some pixie dust, I've NEVER heard of any DVC people getting upgraded like that, good for you!!! Glad you had a good time!!!

I had not heard of it either...

 

[dgbg100106]

I always do online check-in for 2 reasons:

1) It asks for arrival time and since I usually arrive in the morning, well before check-in time, I feel better thinking they "know" I will be there early! I have usually gotten my room right away or within an hour or 2 (even DVC stays).

2) I add my credit card # to the online check-in and don't have to take it out at the front desk. I've been told that's the safer way to do it.

I did on-line last time at Boardwalk and they asked for the CC# again to verify but I have not decided one way this time...

This will be my first stay at our home resort....

And I've already made yet another change to my itinerary that I thought I finished The 1st night there is a Sorcerer Radio late night meet @ Raglan Road, so I'm going to do that instead of Wishes. Can't be out too late or due too much partying though, meeting them @ rope drop @ MK at 8am next morn

That is the way to do it.... Enjoy yourself and have a wonderful time also when he gets there....

Please let me know about Raglan Road, I have wanted to try it many times before but have not made it out there...

Sorry to hear about DS! That stinks. And the day after is always the worst! Hope he's feeling better and on the mend.

WHOOP for 3 days!

One week from tomorrow and I, too, will be filling my belly with ZD's!

Doesn't happen very often...usually due to "breakage" in a room...something like a plumbing issue that they can't resolve quickly. Coming in VERY late actually helps your chances (though it also increases your chances of getting an HA room, if that's all they have left), since they cover the "breakage" rooms last.

 

[pilferk]

Morning Jamborini's and Kidanites! Safe travels to all who are leaving soon! One question - do most people on here do online check-in or just wait until they get to WDW (any resort)? I was thinking about trying it this time since I've got a standard studio booked on points...I know it'll be a pool view, so didn't know if I should just do online check-in.
!

We've done online check in before.....it doesn't seem to speed things up very much. Maybe a tiny bit.

The biggest difference was the line we waited in was much shorter...that's about it.

Wishing all who celebrate a happy, healthy and sweet New Year. L'shanah tova tikatevu.

Oh, yeah - 17 days!!

Congratulations Athenna!! You'll be there before you know it !!

We are only 24 days away

It's going to be our first time at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We are Polynesian addicts and generally stay there. But this trip we found a room at AKL was cheaper than our usually Poly room, so we are giving it a try. I'm excited!

What do you all AKL Fans think are the most important things we try to do at the resort while we are there? We have a ressie at Jiko and that's the only part of the AKL I've been to before (other than the gift shop).
