I'd love to see the updated activity times too. Does anyone know if the schedule usually stays mostly the same or if it changes much from week to week or month to month, etc.?

...it usually stays the same, depending upon 'busy season' or 'low season'....

She is back on the 13th I believe.

Hi everyone. Seeing the pictures and hearing about everyone's trip is making me even more excited about our December trip! Only about 78 more days to go!!

My daughter is 16 and my son is 13. The activities sound great but they seem to be aimed more at the younger kids. Are there any activities for teens besides swimming in the pool. I'm sure my son would be happy in the arcade but I'm not sure about my daughter. Do many other teens go to AKL? Well even if there isn't anything too organized for her to do I'm sure she'll find something to keep her occupied.

I finally found some detailed descriptions of kids activities at AKL so I thought I'd post the link in case anyone else is interested:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1221166

I was the one who posted the AKL activities thread. After some good responses, I'm compiling descriptions into a list. There are some activities where I would love more input or have questions about. When the list is complete, I will post it so that the information can be cut/pasted into a document for easy printing. So whenever you go to AKL, all you'll need to do is take a copy of the list and pencil in current times when you get there.

I'm listing the questions here as well as on the original activities thread, but please answer on the activities thread if you have helpful information.

What does the horticulture activity involve (and can't they find a better name to make it sound more exciting--just kidding)?

Is animal tracking an ongoing activity where you need to be there the whole time or can you drop in during the time period and still do the activity?

What type of medallions are part of that activity?

How long is the art tour?

What happens at the Garden Safari?

So far I have these sample crafts: bird houses, paper dolls, African rag dolls, etc. Any others?

How long does the culinary tour last?

I have a little bit about the firepit storytelling, but welcome more information.

I've heard from an AKL CM that Music of the Savannah is at 8 pm but each time I've seen it listed on DIS boards the time was 5. Is 8 pm a new time?

What is the Cultural Safari and how long is it?

Can adults observe the children's activities?

Which activities can both children and adults participate in?

Has anyone done the Adventure Camp?

Feel free to share experiences about any of the activities at AKL, even if they aren't part of my list of follow up questions. Thanks.

I will post them after work tonight.

Hi everyone,
I leave for WDW in 25 days ( Yippppeeee!!!!!) I'm meeting my friend from Brazil and her two children. I am making each of the kids a small scrapbook/photo album now, then we can just get the pics developed and then put them in the book while we're there. That way they'll have the book to take back to Brazil right away.
Anyhow, we're staying at AKL and I need the AKL logo or any AKL artwork that I can put in the book. ANYTHING would help. Thanks!

Tracy

Great idea! I saw this picture of the welcome mat and thought it might be neat to include a picture like this in a photo album:

The allears.net site has a picture of the AKL sign in the AKL/picture section under the entrance category. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the direct link.
