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

I was looking at my ADR's and you know I never booked a thing for Boma or Jiko the whole time we are there. (except for one breakfast at Boma)

What would you do - keep my ADR for dinner at California Grill on my Birthday or switch to Boma? We are going to MVMCP that night. What do you think?

....keep the ressies for CG, since it is so close to MK...then [like I did!] try to get an ADR directly at the Boma podium.....

 

[Cass]

I don't understand - you want me to eat at both places on the same night? lol

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

...Bumping...

Cass-have you eaten at Boma before-I haven't and dying to (I made ressies there for one breakfast and one dinner) plus a dinner without my children...just me and my husband at Jiko...an actual date... while my children hang at Simba's Club...

... NO, silly - for ANOTHER night......

[...that is, unless you are up to the task of eating din-din at TWO places.....]

...it SHOULD be going up THIS week (unless the lobby is already decorated)....the "decorating fairies" silently creep in during the wee hours of the night and 'ready' everything so that when the guests awaken in the morning, they see the 'magical' transformation!

Can't wait!!!!!!!!! We have never even been inside AKL before so I am dying to see the lobby in person!!

...prepare to have your jaw DROP open.......

That is my hope!!! DH really wanted WL but we couldn't get a room there. I am hoping the first glimpse of the lobby will make him forget all about it!

....BOTH are my absolute faves.....

But all my other nights are taken up the CG night is about the only night I can do a switcheroo Boma instead of CG. I just can't decide.

Yes! I had one amazing dinner there and then the next time I hardly ate as I was suffering from food poisoning from PrimeTimeCafe (I ate the chicken puke pie - 3 days earlier) and I was STILL suffering.

Boma is great, Jiko too.

Just wanted to say that I am back from my amazing trip. Probably won't have time for any big report until Thanksgiving weekend. Wanted to mention that I had the opportunity to actually meet Wallyb! He was on our Sunset Safari tour. He and his partner were really nice. They were a lot of fun at the dinner. We were hoping to run into them again at Epcot the next day, but we did not see them again.

To everyone who is anxiously awaiting, it is so worth the wait! And even if you don't get your first choice of room (we didn't), there are so many different places to see things, and you will still end up seeing some interesting things from the not so prime views. We loved our time there and we so sad when it was time to leave.

 

[Cass]

Hi tiggrbaby! glad you had a good stay at AKL and how great that you met Wallyb!

Any signs of Christmas at the Lodge yet? I'm looking forward to your trip report if you have a chance to do one.

This gives me great confidence in out Prime Time reservations And I was thinking about having the chicken puke pie too.

Well, at least we have reservations at Jiko, Boma and CG while we're there!

Jiko and Boma are great. I love Boma for breakfast and Jiko is excellent.

I have eaten at PTC since and I even have an ADR for this trip coming up, go and enjoy ~ but I just can't recommend the Chicken Puke Pie

Glad you had a wonderful time. Can't wait to read about it. I just picked up all our docs for our trip today. 21 days to go!!! I didn't make any specific room requests so, I can't wait to see where we end up. Hoping for the best.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but this seemed like the place to ask. Do you need ADR's for breakfast at Boma if you are staying at AKL? My DF and I are going in July- which I know is going to be busy anyway- and will definitely be making ADR'S for dinner there but were hoping to be able to spontaneously decide to have breakfast there during our stay. Just wanted to know if this was even possible. Thanks!
