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

This is my plan as well Oh I can't wait, I can't wait

hopefully this time we can make a whole day of the pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tinknme]

My boys are 12 & 9. I get excited just thinking about how excited they will be lol I think they will enjoy the extra activities there, so I am hoping they will agree to spending a whole day just lounging around the resort. Ahhh sounds so relaxing..........

Make sure they do the night vision goggle thing........... and the parade around the lobby........... that is cute and they get a participation certificate, it's neat!!! There are a ton of activities they can do. DS is interested in doing the adventure camp this time!!!! I'm going to find out about this............. but, I think we are going to let him!!!!

You have to come back and tell us all about Concierge!!!!!! I want to stay, but trying to convince DH................. MAYBE.................. if he reads about how wonderful it is from a boardie................ then I may just get lucky!!!!!!!!!! LOL

NOT too much longer now!!!!! Have FUN!!!!

I will be sure to post here and also plan on taking lots of pictures with my new digital camera. Just finished the heavy packing and just have odds and ends for Wed night. Since I have to work till Thurs. at 10 when I am cutting out of work (advantage of being boss ) I don't want to have to do it when I am tired after work. Now the waiting gets worse.

Yay!

My parents just bought airfare for our trip this August and they were able to book it so that we will be able to keep our ADR for Boma's breakfast on the last day of our trip. We're also staying concierge level and I was wondering if it even makes sense to eat breakfast at Boma, as I have been hearing that the concierge offerings are excellent and more than sufficient. Any advice?

Tinknme~ Your idea on suprising the kids sounds great. I wish I could see their faces!

Kimmar~ Thanks for the awesome photos. You do such a good job maintaining this thread.

I wondered the same thing about breakfast as well but went ahead and booked it for our last day since I can always cancel it. Since we are taking the train and it is always late getting into Orlando I figured we might miss lunch so maybe a late breakfast with one of those wonderful omletts will tide us over

They will absolutely LOVE it!!!! Maybe they'd be interested in the adventure camp, while you lounge by the pool, then afterwards they could join you!!!!

The Adventure Camp is an interactive camp where they go on a private lodge tour with special animal viewing, lunch, and real ostrich egg painting. I have no idea about price, since we didn't do it in feb. but, I'm trying to find out.

Kimmar???????????? do you know???????

I'm so happy and excited for you............. I know it's all DS talks about, he is sooo excited to be going again!!! Here's some pixie dust for surprising your boys!!!

 

[tinknme]

You all keep mentioning this, I just might have to try one!

if you are inclined a victoria falls mist!!!!

Have a magical trip!!

You are welcome!!!! I guess we need to "roar" a little louder so the tag fairy can hear us!!!!

 

[tinknme]

Thank you! I need to find out more about this

After being transferred 3 times, and being on hold about 15 minutes (I love my free minutes!) I finally talked to someone familiar with AKL's Adventure Camp!

AKL Adventure Camp...$70 (includes $30 cost of ostrich egg). Children 6-14 will love this interactive adventure. Camp includes real ostrich egg painting, private Lodge tour with special animal viewing, and buffet lunch (not in Boma, but includes sandwiches & wraps) overlooking the Savannah. Currently takes place on Wednesday.

He-e-e-e-e-e-ey, you guys were soooo busy talkin' 'bout eggs, and drinks, and food at Bomas, and camping, and yada, yada, yada, y'all missed my 10,000th post...... [jk.. ]

Now, let's get to REALLY important things....how can we 'lure' the Tag Fairy into reading this thread so we can get TAGGED??!?!?

WooHoo Kimmar! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Tag Fairy....over here dear Tag Fairy.

Hopefully, I will soon be able to make our AKL ressie for early August, and I will be able to add the new ticker to my signature.

 

[Enna]

Do you think the tag fairy would show up if I mentioned that I was going to have a one-night stand at the AKL?

Ok....really...the whole family will be having a one-night stand in AKL Concierge with me, but that would take all of the drama out of the tag line, wouldn't it? After all, bunk beds and savannah surveillence cameras don't exactly spell romance....


Now, how do I get me one of those snazzy AKL tickers?

 

[scoutsmom99]

Hey Guys,

I'm so excited!! I didn't realize when you go to ticker tag that they had to approve your ticker before they put it on the site. Well mine got approved...was kinda funny cos I saw it in another diser's siggie and I was like hey that looks familar...well now I can't even get the darn thing to work

ETA I'm happy I finally got it to work Funny though it looked very bright when I made it in Photoshop, but now that it is posted it is not as shiny. Anyways if anyone wants one it is on page 24 of the ticker tag site obviously by Lisa Ok now I have to go back and catch up on the thread.

 

[scoutsmom99]

I thought I'd share this great view of the pool:

...don't you think that, once they see THIS

they will figure it out for themselves???

Kimmar these are both grogeous pics!!! I wanna be there now eating Zebra Dome and drinking a Victoria Falls Mist

 

[scoutsmom99]

Just a reminder: AKL will be featured on Travel Channel April 25 @ 11:30 AM EST!

Ohh I'm writing this down. Is this the great hotels one with Samantha Brown?
