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

[RachelTori]

it was actually sitting next to the suitcase in the foyer in July and I STILL walked out without it..my husband called me after I had already gotten on the turnpike to say I forgot it...but I was in DISNEY mode..so I didn't want to turn around

I can relate! Once in *DISNEY MODE*, we are in an impenetrable zone!!

I can't give you any ideas, but I would suggest rather than gifts, studies say that people our age, value experiences more so than "things". Maybe you could plan a really cool trip on your bikes that includes an overnight at a very romantic place or some kind of touristy thing that you have never done yet. I know you both enjoy dining experiences, perhaps there is something he has wanted to do that you never have before. Living with someone who buys too many things has turned me off to "stuff", I much prefer to "do things" than "get things". That's just me.

SO I bought tickets last night to The Adams Family on Broadway, for the night of his B'day...

David and I are supposed to be hiking Machu Picchu... for our birthdays but that is in May...

Great suggestion, Alison! I think this is an awesome idea for you, Brandi!

Maybe you could plan a "progressive" birthday experience: several days of experiences leading up to the big one on David's birthday!

Maybe I can do 5 things.... Machu Picchu, Broadway, 3, 4 & 5 need to plan something...

I keep saying I have to finish last years (2010) report...I think I'm still at BCV and my parents haven't even arrived yet! DH wants me to do one from my Oct experience but I really want to finish the old one.

I finished 2010 but I am about half way thru my last one.... I think I need help...

Good morning, Js & Ks!

It is already 64 here in Virginia, but the rain has moved in. After that is gone we are supposed to get more "seasonable" temps too, Laura. I have LOVED our weather the past couple of weeks. Wish it was like this all the time!

Not sure if I mentioned this but we just purchased 55 more AKL points It passed ROFR and I have the paperwork already at the closing company.

Granted his b'day is March, but it is the big 5-0 for him.

I wanted to get started on this since, I am having surgery in Jan, then we have a cruise in Feb and then his b'day is March 9th....

..

Awe he has the same day as my mom and my friend's son.

Those silly tag fairies.

We have been having wonderful weather here too. Yesterday was 65° and today is going to be in upper 50's or low 60s but just rain. I can live with this weather too.

We leave in 9 days and I need to get packing! I know I've read on the boards that they are replacing the coffeemakers -- does anyone know if AKL's coffeemakers have been replaced? We'll be in a pool view in Jambo if that makes a difference. I always bring my own coffee so I need to know what to pack!

Thanks!

Did anyone respond to this yet? When I was there last it was still only a baby Mr. Coffee, but I'm pretty sure it's been changed since then. (this past January) Anybody know the answer? I know when Brandi went in May I think the coffee makers were different.

I am swayed but the potential for not a fabulous view is the only drawback. I know we'd get out money's worth out of the offerings for sure.

Hmmmm, this is definitely a tough one. I didn't know about the limited Savannah View and that it wasn't guaranteed until I booked for my next September trip, but I'm not going to chance changing it. The convenience of being able to get a drink or snack anytime is just too nice. I'll be taking my DB and SIL who enjoy their adult beverages, so the savings for them will be wonderful. I'll be doing a Savannah View in March, so if we end up with the pool view in September I'll be ok. Have you done a pros and cons list? If you call at exactly opening time at your 7 month window I'm sure you can get exactly what you've decided on.

I'm not sure about the number of dedicated 2-bedrooms on CL, the only way I found out about how many studio CL there are (5) was when I called DVC. I couldn't find it anywhere in my DVC paperwork, I could have missed it but I truly scoured everything. You could ask them, I'm sure they'd tell you.

I have corrected my error (on the Dis Meets thread) and promise not to ever post again before finishing my morning coffee!!!

I need some ideas... True it has nothing to do with AKL, unless I get something AKL related.... anyway,


ok just to prove that I plan too far in advance, I need some ideas for David's B'day...

Granted his b'day is March, but it is the big 5-0 for him.

I wanted to get started on this since, I am having surgery in Jan, then we have a cruise in Feb and then his b'day is March 9th....

So I really don't have that much time...

I have some ideas for gifts but I was thinking of doing something silly, like celebrate it for 5 days? by giving 5 gifts a day or something like that....

Those of you who have meet David, know that he is crazy and will be cool with anything I do...

SO I bought tickets last night to The Adams Family on Broadway, for the night of his B'day...

David and I are supposed to be hiking Machu Picchu... for our birthdays but that is in May...

Maybe I can do 5 things.... Machu Picchu, Broadway, 3, 4 & 5 need to plan something...

I finished 2010 but I am about half way thru my last one.... I think I need help...

Firstly, it is not too early to be planning

Wonderful idea about the tickets. I didn't know they were doing that show, I'm sure it'll be great.

Does he have a favorite food or drink that's hard to get that you could order? something for his motorcycle he's been wanting?

Hi all...long time no talk...i often lurk here but don't post too often. let my start by saying this Christmas is going to be a rough one and i'm not really looking forward to it this year...my mom passed away in aug and i'm finding it hard to get into the spirit. But i've decided that next year we will do Christmas Disney style. Our home resort is kidani...and i just can't seem to make my self want to stay anywhere else. Sooo does anyone have any pics of the Christmas decor around kidani? Also what would you think about Christmas dinner at saana or jiko? I know it's waayyyy far in advance but i'm starting my planning now...it gives me something to look forward to and help get thru this first year without my mom.

I'm so sorry for your loss I hope you'll be able to get through the holidays without too much heartache. I'm going to try and figure out how to post pictures on here next week when I get back.

Good morning. We are back from Kidani and I have to say it was awesome. I wish we had more time just the resort. The staff was fantastic. I think this really opened our eyes to some of the benefits of DVC. BTW, the zebra domes were awesome!

I'm so glad you had a great trip! How did your girls like it?

Not sure if I mentioned this but we just purchased 55 more AKL points It passed ROFR and I have the paperwork already at the closing company.

Congratulations! That is fantastic news!!!
