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

[luvfigment]

Hey all sorry I haven't been able to post this week but I have been on the later shift and work has been busy. I am still trying to catch up and have been working on my trips reports. Hopefully I will have it up by the end of the weekend and will let you all know when it is up. Hope all is going well.

 

[gems_smiling]

We will be staying 9 nights this time from September 1st. So far we have requested non smoking and a room NEAR or ABOVE the lobby. We are going to change it to non smoking and a room ABOVE the lobby as we dont want to be out near the buses on the lobby floor. Thanks again for your help!

Oh boy. Now look what I did. Not only did I call to see about concierge upgrade and if there was availability for another day to tack on to our original ressie but I went and did both! 6 days PO-FQ and 4 in the ALK Concierge as opposed to teh original 3 days in a regular savannah room! Golly G! I love the "movin' on up" part of our vacations. Just extra stuff to look forward to. Thank God I have 5 more months to pay that part off. Better paint some more horses eh?

Happy Friday! You know what that means....it is time for our weekly Zebra Dome Anonymous meeting!

Let us start with a roll call: My name is Angel and I am a zebra dome abuser. I have not had a zebra dome since October of 2005...Darn it

My...you all have been "busy" on this thread. And quite humorous too this week. Thank you, I was in the need for some good laughs.
I know that Wendypooh has been hitting the zebra domes. Wendy you have to be getting that high somewhere to keep up your energy to plan a wedding and get ready for your vacation.

Ppony your work is beautiful. I would love to see a picture of yours sons Lion King Room. Willya, willya pretty please. And let me welcome you to our little piece of paradise AKL style. I glad you overcame your fear of a large thread. We are just a fun group that LOVES the AKL.

My laptop has been having wireless problems for the last two weeks. My DH took it in and the repair people could not find anything wrong with it. Therefore, they referred him to the cable company. Our wireless was new and they are going to replace it. However, they have to send it in and that takes 6-8 weeks. So my sweet DH is going down to buy a new wireless thingy. I think he was worried that I could not plan the "perfect vacation" with out getting on HIS computer for the next 6-8 weeks. So my laptop should be back up and running tonight I will be posting more often as well as….. enter scary music. Trying to post pictures!!! I have had “professional help” through the kindness of Scoutsmom and I still have problems. One of these days, I will get it down, and you all will hear the sound of the Disney band playing loudly followed by my shrieks of delight.

Lovfigment - I am so looking forward to your trip report. I sure you will have pictures too. Try to get some rest this weekend too. After all, if you work too much you will need another vacation.

Welcome to all the new faces I see here. Shyjade, Gems_smiling, as well as some that have been away for a little while. Have a great week end everyone!

Happy Friday to you I have not had a Zebra Dome since Jan & now that it is considered a snack on the dining plan I am sure I will get plenty of them in Oct.

I purchased our return flight tickets last night, I feel so much better that the plane tickets are out of the way. Only 3 more loooooong months

You are going to love the concierge lounge! The CM's are friendly, making it a nice place to sit and drink in the ambiance. I enjoyed taking a glass of wine back to our room, out onto the balcony to watch the animals while the rest of the family was getting ready for dinner. The cordials and evening pastry was a nice treat at the end of the day.

I will confess that we were on the fence beteen AKL and the Poly this time, and I was rooting for the AKL because it has this masterpiece of a cappucino machine. This little gem is one thing that you cannot get anywhere else, I believe.

Have a great time!

Just wanted to ask everyone to keep my mom in your prayers because she is still in ICU and will be there at least until Monday. Her breathing continues to be a concern and she had to be put back on a respirator for 2 days (the day before her birthday which was Wed) and the pulmonary doctor says he is still not out of the woods as she continues to have fluid on her lungs despite the medications and draining. And now she is getting episodes of rapid heartbeat since Monday! Thanks in advance!
Hope to catch with everyone soon.

Okie dokie. Let's see if I can do this right. HTML and I aren't exactly friends. My little guy has had this room now for about 3 1/2 years and now he's asking for a Cirque Du Soliel room or I'm thinkin' a Pirate's room. Though I think THAT would be more for MY enjoyment if I painted Depp. wink wink
This stuff was done by hand so it too forever but NOW I have an airbrush and I'll get a projector so I can save myself the tons of time drawing things at such a scale. I'm planning on the new nursery as a Bambi room and our bathroom Nemo. :lol obsess much???

Back to your regularly scheduled AKL thread! I'm so beyond thrilled!!!!!!! I'll have to do some heavy looking into the concierge stuff now. I had counted ourselves out for being able to do that LONG time ago but I do recall having read that it seems to be one of the absolute FAVES of people so my impressions was very positive and welll...gosh. I guess I'll be changing all sorts of things around now. Oh well, planning is part of the fun!

 

[scoutsmom99]

Hey Scoutsmom99, I didn't realize you're the "go to" person at MNSSHP on 9/29? My DD8 and I will be there that night, and as of this past Monday, we're staying at AKL too! I haven't posted much yet here because I'm still trying to catch up on all the back-posts...starting page 155 today so I should be "caught up" by the end of the workday!

I'm staying at CBR during my 2nd trip unless some great AP rates come out for AKL. It would be great to meet up with a fellow Jambo pal at the MNSSHP. Guess I should go back and check out the thread on the Meets board as I know when I orginally talked about it we talked about a late night one and one before the party started, but my plans have changed some since then as I changed dinner reservations around.

 

[scoutsmom99]

even provided the address, ty very much, this will be a lot easier than hauling all this stuff with us, again tx

You are welcome

That will be so awesome. I hope to do AKL concierge one of these days!

Oh my goodness that is gorgeous! You are so talented I love your work I would love a Nemo bathroom and a Bambi nursery sounds very warm and welcoming. I would like a Pirate room over Cirque..probably becuase I wouldn't mind waking up and seeing Johnny Depp (not to mention going to bed and seeing him).

We will be there the exact same time, now there are 4 of us from the Jambo that will be at the the lodge the same time!!!!

The floor above the lobby is the 4th floor, the lobby floor is actually the 3rd floor. We like being on the 3rd floor just to be in close proximity of everything. We were way down on the Zebra Trail, room 3578, so we were nowhere near the bus stop!!! It was a trek I tell you, it was fine but I'd like to be a little closer in this time!!! We are gonna try to plan a little get together to say "hi" and maybe take a few pics for the board........ we'll send you a PM when we get closer, hopefully you can meet up with us!!! ( Me, ktink & scoutsmom).
