Ismaggy- be sure and go to the firepit storytelling. I think it was about 6:30. Very interesting and entertaining. They also have castmember outside to answer questions about the animals and their care, and also night vision goggles. The pool is great, especially early in the morning when no one is around. We have pictures of my kids alone in the pool except for a duck!

we have duck pictures too

DD8 really enjoyed the Flamingo feeding. It started off by teaching the children how flamingos, and pelicans eat. The kids are divided into two groups and take turns with their "make believe" pelicans, and flamingos "eating" food in trays of water. Everyone had a turn. This was a "bead activity". So everyone who participated received a special bead for their necklace.(There are several bead activities throughout the day at AKL) Following this, everyone gathered around the flamingo pond as a CM fed the flamingos. It was fun to watch!

We are planning to add a 3 night AKL visit to our Poly stay. I am wondering if the Sunrise Safari would be appropriate for a small child. Our son will be just a week shy of 3 when we visit and he LOVES animals. I don't, however, want him to ruin other guests' enjoyment with his excitement!!

Would it be frowned upon if we brought him?

TIA!

Do you already have an image host that you have uploaded your pictures to? If you have, then you can simply click on the icon above (that shows up when you hit "reply") that kinda looks like a yellow envelope and copy and paste the url of your picture. That will insert your image into your post.

You'll need a web host (like photobucket.com) to download them. Then, you can just paste and copy them on your posts (make sure to add

right after it).

Only YOU know your child BEST. Seriously, the safari lasts for almost an hour, stopping quite frequently to talk about their wildlife program, feedings, veterinary care, exchange progam, etc. Also, it is pretty early in the morning, so, again, you are the best judge of your child's behavior.....(believe me, I've heard HORROR stories on the DIS regarding this issue).

Hope this helps....

We took our three year old in November. We were hesitant to do so because of some of the stories we had heard. It turned out wonderful, she enjoyed the whole thing so much and did well other than an occasional "look at that!". The safari, Lion King show, and meeting the characters is the things she remembers best about the whole trip. (there was a minor argument between her and our 8 year old when she kept insisting the zebras were called "Marty" but he just let that one go and gave me the "little sisters aren't they silly" look)

We took our 4 year old DGD a few weeks ago, and she was fine. She loved looking at the animals, and there were times that she spotted them before our host did. You know how your little one will hold up to an excursion that lasts at least an hour. I can tell you that she did not want to go on the Kilamanjaro safari after this Sunrise Safari, so we passed.

Scoutsmom- too bad they won't allow our labs in the pool! The duck problem would be solved! I have a chocolate named Tootsie Roll. A real brat, but I love her!

I'd like to find a listing of the children's activities AKL offers throughout the day. Can anyone help me?

We have reserved a standard room at AKL for 3/23-3/30 - changed from CB - I have a couple of questions. My 13 year old daughter wanted to stay at CB because of the pool and water slide (would have preferred Boardwalk, but thats a little beyond our budget) - the AK pool doesn't look like it has much of a water slide - any comments? Also, I assume the room is little more roomy than that at CB- true? Any other suggestions for travelling with a 13 year old would be welcome!
