Here's the early morning view:

Viki thanks for sharing all of the pictures. The early morning view is my favorite one I love the colors in the pic. One of these days I will have to get myself into concierge at AKL...Something tells me once I do I will never want to go back to a non concierge stay ever again.

Hey, isn't that "frunch' in the middle container??!?!?

You bet your bippy!

 

[kimmar067]

You bet your bippy!

...oh, you must be mistaking me with someone else....I'd NEVER bet MY bippy!

 

[ugadog99]

Thank you, thank you! I will be sure to request Zebra Trail. We plan on doing AKL concierge for her high school graduation. I just thought she really deserved this special trip for her birthday. She is a great kid who has been through so much in her life. I can't think of a better way to spend her 16th birthday.

Hey Everyone Glad you liked my pics!!! Now listen girls......... if I thought betting my Bippy would get me to AKL Concierge........... well, let's just say........... I'd be a bettin!!!!!! LOL


We stayed on the Zebra Trail also......... it was fantastic!!! It was room #3578. We had an awesome view, it was perfect. I'd be completely satisfied with the exact same room!!! We were really happy to be on the 3rd floor - the lobby floor, it was really great getting off the bus, walking through that awesome lobby, right to our hallway...... it was great, except the part where we got sidetracked at Zawadi Marketplace...


Kimmar............... Here's some EXTRA Pixie dust for ya............. good luck!!!

 

[scoutsmom99]

..... !!!!!!!

I figured as much!!! I love the new tinkerbell image, but I do miss hoppy pooh!!


ohhh Wendypooh I went to ticker tag how fun. LOL I made my own ticker for AKL because I thought that is what I was supposed to do, but I see they have to approve it first. So I got the same one you do. I love it!!!

Ya'll I'm so sad to say that we've come into some medical expenses. We have changed our package to Pop Century for a savings of $846.60. We have stayed at Pop before and it is clean and the transportation is great. It is no AkL by any stretch of the imagination. But the difference will pay the medical expenses w/ a little left over. I'm so sad but at least I'll still get to go and we got to keep the free dining w/ a preferred room. Thanks for all of your help in the questions I had. DH and I are planning a trip in Feb 07 so maybe we can stay then.

That is a bummer, but like you said at least you are still able to go and you can always visit AKL and do breakfast at Boma or maybe dinner at Jiko. Here is PD for AKL in Feb 2007.

....Ohhhhh, that's too bad; I know how much of a let-down it must be, when you've had your heart set on one thing and must now "settle" for another....is there any wayyou can do a split-stay?? . If not, make a ressie or two to have breakfast or dinner at AKL...I know it's not like STAYING there, but at least you will get to visit.....

I also hope that the 'medical expense' isn't life-threatening or serious...prayers and to you and your family.....

 

[ktink]

Thanks Scoutsmom & Kimmar. The girls are actually excited about staying at Pop, they like the IN YOU FACE theming there and DH could care less where we stay. I thought about going to a mod but we've been lucky enough to get the $39 air fare from SW for the past 2 years so the difference in mod and value would pay the $394 air fare.

I'm the only one out of the whole bunch that could lay down and cry. But one things for sure I can still hope for Feb.

The medical expenses are just for some tests that DH had run. He has high blood pressure so they did the stress test and all sorts of stuff beings that he's only 34. He's checked out fine though.

Hey ~~ Sorry to hear you can't stay at AKL (with me ) Seriously, though, I hope your DH is feeling better, AND you will enjoy POP, it looks cool. We've stayed at ASMov. a few times and DS loved it. You guys will still have to come over to AKL and look around, it is gorgeous. Try Boma if you can, or you can get the african stew at Mara........ it is sooooooooo good, I'm really looking forward to that again!!!

I see that......... at first I thought it was my post..........LOL I only wish it looked like the pic. on the tickertag....... it's much more vibrant....... oh well!! I tried to make my own too.......... but, like you said, it has to be "approved"??? LOL I'm confused, I see you are going the same time as me....... were there 3 of us going at the exact same time??? I thought ktink was going too......... ?? anyway, looks like we'll at AKL at the exact same time......... COOL!!!

 

[wendypooh]

HUMMMM ~~~ YUP, you should try it!!! LOL

I'll whip up the potion ......... you add the siggie thingie, here's some pixie dust OK, a double dose, , all the other girls, let's pray ......... then we can send mind altering vibes to Kimmar's DH


Yeah, I've got a little too much time on my hands today!!!! LOL

 

[Princess Mindy]

Ok who else starting singing "Circle of Life" from Lion King when they saw this pic? Absolutely beautiful!!

I am so excited by this thread. I am going to spend the latter half of my September visit at AKL and I can't wait. This will be my very first (that I remember) WDW Deluxe experience! I've got a savannah view standard room and my really friendly CM booked me for the giraffe paddock. Anyone know where this is in the AKL?
Thanks for this thread and all the lovely pictures!

We're still going to keep our ADR for breakfast @ Boma, can't wait to try some frunch. DH told me at lunch that we could still stay at AKL but I just can't justify that I pinch as many pennies as I can. But I'm going to have a talk w/ dd's this afternoon and we may go for a moderate. I think I can do that without feeling guilty.

 

[mouseaddicts]

Well then, you [and ugadog99] MUST make ressies to spend at least one day doing concierge so you can be eligible to sign up for SS...your duaghters will be in 7th heaven!! It's a 'NOT-TO-BE-MISSED' experience, especially for animal lovers!

Uhhhh ...... what's SS? Sorry to ask a silly question, but when you don't know - you don't know!
