Praise God he is home and safe. Now, I just can't wait to see him and put my arms around him. Maybe in September, they are in Northern Wisconsin.

Thank you for asking John's Mom. How are things going with your son? :hug: Sending prayers and best wishes.

Hi guys, I go away in a few days and will be gone til the end of August. I had AKL Concierge do all my ADR's for me and I got pretty well everything I wanted, just had to make a couple of switcheroos. I also booked Dolphins in Depth for my DD13 and I, on my Birthday.

I guess there is nothing to do now except wait.
 
Hello Everyone :wave2:
I finally got a day off work and I have spent the almost the whole day out running around. Uggg I hate spending my days off like that. So anyways I was trying to keep up with the thread, but I never had any time to do a proper posting so here goes(all the way back from :faint: page 244)....

Fast Pass :welcome: to the thread. A lot of the rooms are further away from the main part of the lodge, but a lot of people like those because they see a lot of animals out there.
runa00 :welcome: to the thread.
wendypooh Wendy the list of things to make a stay more special is out of this world. I added it to my vacation binder. I see your tag is not back in shiny red yet either :guilty: Come on Purple Tag Fairy can you send some pixiedust: Wendy's way? I can't believe we are at 30 days party: party: Now all I need to do is stop picking up stuff for the trip!!!!
kimmar :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: Way to go on getting all of your assignments onto the cd and off into the mail. I think you deserve more than just a zebra dome...maybe a Zebra Dome Congratulations Cake is in order? :cake: Here are some dancers for you because I see only 10 days left on your ticket :dancer: :dancer:
tinknme Mom and I started the Special K diet this week. The first few days here have been ok... I think the only problem is that I have eaten out dinner the past few nights with friends. We got the orginal special k cereal and I have been having that with strawberries and grapes for lunch and breakfast. I got the chocolate drizzle snack bars and they are actually pretty decent as well. Tonight at the store I picked up the vanilla almond flavor to try out. Now we just need to get back to nightly walking...if only the extreme heat and humidty would go away. Thanks for posting the additional food pics. Now that I'm doing the special K thing all I can think about is the filet at Jiko.
Cass I will not be there in December, but I have always wanted to see the world all done up. I hope you share some pics with us when you get back.
dm220 you are almost a month out now!!! :cheer2:
ktink When I canceled my free dining I was told it could take up to two billing cycles to see the refund on my statement. I think it makes perfect sense for you and your DH to stay at music and save the AKL experience for a whole family stay next year. I don't see anything wrong with being a penny pencher... heck I wish I was a better penny pincher.
ddiva ohhh maybe Wendy and I will see you there we both check in on the 2nd. I'm not sure about getting a daybed or recliner in the room though.
IMGONNABE40!I stayed uzima last year in 3514 and it was beautiful just perfect. Lots of animals outside my room all day long. The tommy's would sleep outside my balcony at night in the longer grass too.
macrosswife :welcome: to the thread :wave2:
raven69david :welcome: to the thread I hope you guys have a great trip.
LAWalz23 :hug: I'm sorry to hear that your mother has been ill. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Ok I jsut read further and saw that mom is doing better :woohoo:
lovespoohbear :welcome: to the thread. Congrats on booking the airfare and the MVMCP tickets!!! That always makes the trip seem more real.
Angel16 I'm gald your son-in-law is back home safe and sound. Tell him thank-you for everything he has done for our Country :cheer2:


Well I think that covers just about everything. I saw a lot of questions were answered already so I tried to not just repeat answers. lol I couldn't post it the first time becuase I had too many smilies.
 

Wow scoutsmom99, that was a very impressive post! I think you got everyone :)

I'll be sure to post pics of the holiday decorations.

Hi wendy, we really lucked out... it was kind of an afterthought and I asked them to book for 4, turns out only my DD13 is old enough, my friends daughter is 12 and they only had 2 spots anyway so we grabbed them

My friend and her DD will chill at the hotel or go to Downtown Disney until we meet up later.

Now, my question is, Has anyone ever had this particular request at AKL and how was it handled? Are my chances of getting rooms next to each other too lofty or should I just hope for the same floor? haha

We had requested connecting rooms when we went in January. We were given adjoining rooms. The connecting room was on the other side of one of the rooms. I asked it it was possible to move and after checking availability, we were moved. I was happy because my DGD loved running back and forth. It was my observation that the staff really tries to accomodate requests, and did not get the impression that I was inconveniencing anyone.

Have a great time!

Angel

Thank God he is home! Please send my family's thanks to your SIL and DD for their commitment and sacrifice for our country.

If anyone is interested, I have a link although I am not sure if I know how to post it. A group is sending postcards to our military serving overseas. They were designed by children, and say "thank you" for their service. It is not political, and the card are personalized with your message. Everyone is invited to participate in sending a card to our service men and women. I will post it if anyone wants it, or PM if posting is not allowed.
 
New here and I just want to say this has alot of info and thanks to everyone for their time spent. AKL is our new favorite Disney home. We just switched our November ressie from BWV to AKL concierge and are very excited.

Angel I am I very happy your son in law made it home safe and sound. My best friends son comes home next month from his second tour of duty. I am on edge with her.

All I have to say about the AKL concierge staff is WOW. I have never stayed concierge and they are very impressive. They called my house and sent me an email about my ressies and requests. I must say we love this place now. Any tips from you vets would be wonderful. TIA.
 
These are the same ones I bought! I think they taste like rice crispy treats :teeth: I bought the special k with berries, I do like this cereal but it will get boring after awhile. Good luck with it!

Hi guys --

I'm fairly new here. I did not have a chance to read through the entire thread, so I apologize if this question has been asked before.

Is there a charge to use the fitness center at AKL? I've read that there is no charge for AKL guests, but a charge for other Disney Resort guests and I've also read that there is a charge for AKL guests. If anyone has had any recent experience with this issue it would be appreciated.

Thanks --

Kimmar only 10 days left, I would be so giddy! Are you packing yet?


:cool1: :Pinkbounc :cheer2:

...nope, too busy doin' the "SINGLE-DIGIT DANCE".... :woohoo: :cheer2: :banana: :bounce: :dance3: :cool1: :Pinkbounc :rolleyes1

...actually we are going away this weekend to our country cabin in upstate NY...so we need the luggage for THAT...when I get back on Sunday night, I will begin my packing...I have everything I need - new 'undies' and socks, a few new pairs of shorts and tops for my DH and DS's, snacks [for the car], toiletries...it's all just a matter of 'throwing' everything into the suitcases....
 
Does "private" mean that each room has a slice, separated by railing? Or are they blocked off more solidly?

I know that the balconies are under video surveillance for the animals' safety, so not really private (not that I have anything intimate planned!) -- but I was wondering if I would feel comfortable stepping out, say, in my robe in the morning, or will there be someone from the next room visible at my elbow?
 
Yep gotta have the clean undies :teeth: Can't wait to see your pictures & hear about your stay :woohoo: Have fun at the cabin this weekend!
