Maybe we can drop them off at the kids club with Ava..? lol

SO..does anyone know if they are still doing the continental breakfast buffet in Kidani? They were doing it in OCT and presented it as if it was a temporary thing to see if it "took off".....hoping it is cause I will need it next month!

Oh no its an epidemic....!Thats why we are here...cause our S.O. must nap!!!

 

[miprender]

All this napping is making me sleepy but I did stay up to see the ball drop.

I have been a lurker for a while and a AKV DVC owner for 3 years I decided I will not be a lurker any more
Our next family vacation to the world will be Thanksgiving week 2012 AKV CL 11/17/12 -11/27/12 :cloud9 My DD will turn 8 on the 25th and I will be happily married 14 years on the 27th

I get to watch a split screen of the ball at Times Square and the Peach at Lenox in Atlanta! The first year the Peach was a little premature!! They've gotten the timing right ever since!

Hello AKL friends!

Well we are officially heading back to AKL in May (5/26 - 6/3). We spent 5 glorious days there several years ago (and as ME pulled away we realized it simply wasn't enough time!) . We vowed we would be back - but for the past 4 trips the economy has dictated that we spend our vacation at a Value. We have had wonderful times there...but we painfully discovered on our last trip that our kids are bigger, and we are older - and we are actually needing some quiet and relaxation on our vacations (imagine!) - so we all agreed we need to go back to Deluxe resorts, even it if meant waiting longer until we return -The time has come for us to go back and play with Mickey..so we took a family vote and all agreed on AKL.
Our initial plan was to book a pool view room again (loved our location last time)..BUT we now have a Disney Adult - DD will be 10 on our next trip... - so the Dining Plan is definately OUT. That factored with the idea that we plan on spending lots of down time enjoying the resort, I am seriously considering CL. I have run the numbers a million times and I really think CL will work for us. Plus I am sooo in LOVE with the idea of the Sunrise Safari:.
The BudgetEAR in me keeps giving me a bit of trouble in pulling the trigger on the CL price...but we shall see!
Sorry for the long rant - but count us in for AKL 5/26 - 6/3. WHERE exactly will we end up there..????..
