\If I am not careful I will have to join ZDA by the time I get home. (Zebra Dome Annomonous)

I'm thinking I might be joining too! I wonder if we can have our meetings on the boards here?

What is the blue drink called?

This is terrible, but I didn't write down what it was (too much of the and domes will do that to you!). It is something that had the blue contrieau in it though...look for that on the drink menu and you will know what I had. Otherwise I can report back on what it was after my next visit.

Ok TF....we are strong believers in Faries over here(claps). Looks like my domes and boozy blue drink are not enough for you. Here is some Frunch:

and a Martini from Jiko to get the morning going:

Well guys, my TiVo failed me. Travel Channel didn't record AKL for me. We're doing construction in my house and we had to move our TV to another room with only one satellite feed instead of the usual two. So for some reason it didn't record.
But, I did notice that May 1 is the Beach/Yacht Club and on May 3 is WL!

I missed it-The AKL travel show! We didn't have cable although we are breaking down and joining the modern world tommorrow when we have dish installed (my daughter no longer has to bear the humiliation of being one of the only 5th graders without it (cable/dish) LOL.

Am I correct in understandng that the show was made in 2001? I agree its time for them to do a new one 2006 five years later!

(Is it my imagination or is AKL getting a little more (gulp) popular? (Which is good and bad depending on how you look at it...I just feel it seems to be getting more play...or am I just noticing it more because I have "discovered" it -kind of the way expectant mothers start noticing all the babies around them?

Oh well, we'll just have to make our own AKL special when we go...

Woo-Hoo. 15 Days until vacation, and only 19 until we actually arrive at the AKL! I can't wait much longer!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

I just noticed in my 2006 Passsporter that the rooms in AKL have refrigerators and coffee makers-has anyone been there recently enough to have used a coffee maker?

If so did you notice if they take pods or loose coffee-I'd love to bring some with me-it will ensure I get my strong morning cup !

Gosh darn why isn't my ticker tag showing......................

Hey everyone.
I finally took your advice and made my PS for Boma breakfast for our resort day. We will also be doing Jiko that night. The CM seemed to sound like I really had my choice of times.
But as everyone said it's good to not have to worry.

When my DD6 watched the show with me yesterday she was screaming "Oh My Goodness I don't believe we're going to live there for a week!" She then went on to tell me that she was so excited to be staying there. She remembers eating there. Boma is a must do for our trips but she didn't realize it was a hotel too!

 

[tinknme]

We took our own coffee & filters(small ones). Our coffee maker was not working very well so they brought us up a new one. All it needed was to be cleaned. The cm said that they have to throw them away because some of the animals freak out when they smell vinegar. Anyone else hear this?

Last time I brought Starbucks down for my mom and those small flat filters (it is a 4 cup coffee maker).

I'm thinking the meetings need to be held in Boma! In case an emergency meeting is needed it should be held at The Mara...next to the refrigerated case!

Thanks! I can't wait. It is our first stay at the ALK! (we have been to dinner at Boma's before) I will be sure to come back here and report as soon as we get back!

It was only a 1/2 hour and nothing to write home about. We will be visiting AKL for the first time in about 2 weeks so I was excited to catch the show.

It wasn't anything I hadn't seen here or on the Disney website. Well except that they showed the 2 br suite and the top suite..whatever it's called.

They did show the host eating at Jiko and I have to say for an 11:30am show east coast..it was making me hungry.

I'm getting pretty excited now. Just started picking up some essentials. Glow stick bracelets at the $$ store and fan misters at Walmart. I heard it's hot in Fl now. How far ahead does everyone pack?

Oh..and can you join the zebra domes group without every having tried one? I love chocolate so I think I'm already hooked.

I start putting stuff aside as soon as I have my ressies!

The chocolate thing next to the Zebra domes is fabulous too!(not sure its name)
