JAMBO! The UN-official AKL Thread ~ UPDATED(short film/pg 8 & slideshow/pg 12) Part 2

[Ronald Duck]

Can you do something about the rain the night of Dec. 12? It's our MVMCP night.

Ronald Duck,
I'd like to put in my order too - 12/22 to 27: would like sunny - throw in some occasional clouds! - high 60's/low 70's would be perfect for daytime highs! Thank you!

LOL, that's a little warm for me Ronald Duck, can you make it somewhere in the high 60's?

OK, I have your orders, and I'll get to work on it right away. BTW, I'll need to know if you are going to use Paypal or Credit Card

Good Morning AKL Fans!

I had to rescue this thread from page 2!

 

[TinLizzy90]

Thanks, Cass. Couldn't have it fade away two days before my trip!

We were back on page 2 again. So I thought I would ask a question. I know Jiko is a signature restaurant so that it has a dress code. If we are going on the Wanyama/Sunset Safari, what should we wear so that we'll be appropriately dressed for the safari and dinner?

We wore nice dress jeans, nice shoes not sneakers, and some casual but smart (Tommy Bahama) shirts.
And we were fine.
FYI the safari is so great - have fun!

A few more AKL pics for you all to enjoy...

Another great AKL light fixture!

I cannot recall if I shared this one yet or not...taken from one of the outside staircases

Taken from the bridge inside the lobby

I loved the detail in everything!

Towel Animals!

"Feeding the hippo"

The lounge overlooking Boma

Okay, I guess that was more than a few...

 

[BensMom]

JUST BRING MONEY, THEY'LL LET YOU IN!!! Only kidding, it is described as "business casual," but we've seen pretty much anything goes...just NO UNIVERSAL TEESHIRTS.

 

[Cass]

Beautiful photos, love the towel animals too. Thanks for posting them

Thanks and no prob!

As far as 'business casual' we saw a bit of everything too. Joe and I dressed up more than necessary, but we wanted to. I wore a black dress and nice heeled sandals to Artist's Point and the next day, we ate at Boma, which you don't have to dress up to-but we did. I wore a long skirt and nice top, he work khaki's and a button up both days. At Artists Point we saw a bit of everything-I don't recall shorts, but I do remember jeans and t-shirts.

Just a note about business casual ..

When we were at Artist Point during our last trip in June, they were loaning men shirts to cover tee shirts or turning them away.

Brookelizabeth, Loved your pictures. We are so excited to be almost there!!

Gawrsh, I am amazed. I was just there two Saturday nights ago, and I saw teeshirts on tons of men. Hmmm...

 

[BensMom]

Hey Cass, it's getting closer!!! Six more days now? You must be getting sooo excited.

 

[BensMom]

Jeez, I see so many people are probably already here or leaving very shortly! Have a great, safe trip y'all!

 

[Cass]

Yes! and I almost blew it last night with surprising my daughter. I was on the phone trying to make my air reservations for next year on a cruise we are taking (using points)

The agent told me she could only book the outbound and I would have to call in10 days to book the return - and I said "but I'll be in Florida on holiday next week'

My dd was right behind me she says "You will not! why are you lying to that person?"

So after I hung up, I told my DD that I said that to see if the airline would let me book the return now instead of next week and she said 'you shouldn't lie to the airlines, Mom'

Are there connecting rooms available?
I got my paperwork today from AAA and on it is listed connecting rooms with the in-laws. If not that is just fine with me, I didnt ask for connecting rooms so we could maybe be a few doors apart if you know what I mean. We dont need constant family togetherness.

Thanks!

 

[Cass]

Some of the rooms do connect at AKL

Yeah- I think if you can find the official dressd code it states- a "collared shirt".
