Thanks - I didn't even know about this!!! I've added it to my info......... hope that's OK!!!

It's great...actually, everything is great cause did I mention...just over a month and I am at AKL!!!

 

[jaycns]

Of course, I knew exactly what you meant....
Now, about that Christmas trip....that would be so cool. I'm actually kind of sad that we aren't going in November or December like we did the last two times. I'm going to miss the Christmas decs, especially at WL. But on the brighter side, we've never done MNSSHP, so that'll be a great new experience I'm sure.

 

[jaycns]

YES Kim, I will not forget the DOMES! YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!

Has anyone ever done the ceramics class at AKL?

I must say, she is right! That picture is divine!!

I agree, but who is it??? Must be someone not well known in Germany (yet???)

...my DBro and his DFam have done MNSSHP and they LOVED it! You will have a wonderful time.....however, if trick-or-treating at AKL, they definitely will NOT put ZD's in your treat bag......

Hi, I'm booked for November standard room...Construction issues aside, is there a preferred location I should request that will be convenient to pool, and activities for dc's ages 2,5,7 ? I've heard there can be alot of walking if your room is far from the lobby? Also, is first floor preferrable (we usually prefer a patio vs. balcony for the pool areas) or a higher up floor?

also, any hotel activities that are recommended for 5 and 7 DS's?
They are really pool slide lovers so hoping they will like pool.
Is there a beach area for sand toys like ohter resorts? Is there a playground?

are the sunset safari rides geared to adults and repetetive of safari ride in ak for kids purposes?

TIA,

....if you've booked a standard room, you will be on the 3rd floor or higher and you will get a balcony which faces the parking lot - however, request the Giraffe Trail so you will be on the 'pool side'...

....no....as far as activities, they have been posted here numerous times, so I suggest you get yourself a LARGE cup of coffee and just peruse the pages...

...Is there a playground?

TIA,

....no, they are different kinds of safaris.....

That is STUNNING!! It almost makes me wish that I was going at Christmas time. Notice I said almost...because... ONLY ONE MONTH LEFT TO GO!!!

NOT that I am overexcited or anything

So has anyone done the ceramics class activity at AKL? TIA!

 

[newjmom]

Thanks for the info, going for a cup of coffee now

Is savanahah view worth the upgrade to avoid "parking lot view" ?
