Ok what is in this African stew that I just might have to try! On the food porn thread someone just posted pics of some of the deserts from Boma. Oh they look so yummy

Ruth, I think you'll be fine. The only thing that tipped me off was the Jamaica Bldg request had never been taken off. I really don't know what happened but I DO KNOW WE"RE OK NOW!

Oh My Gosh......... it is FABULOUS!!!! It is sort of like beef stew, but with an "african" kick!! big chunks of meat, potatoes, veg's, thick and served in a bread bowl.......... I don't know what seasonings are in it exactly, but it is fantastic. You've GOT to try it!!!! It is delicious!!

How did I miss it??????? It seems that I spent a week eating every good thing in sight. I think I am slipping

Where can you get the African Stew?

Thanks, I'm sure it's fine. I would just hate to get there and have no room. We booked a standard. I guess they would have no choice but to upgrade me.

I'm glad you got your situation taken care of.

Lillygator-I just cked yesterday and there was all room availability for my dates end of this week into next. I know you were looking to upgrade your room type. Just thought you might want to know.

Ok...two days and my first trip to AKL and my first trip to Dis since 1985!! I can hardly contain myself. When I first signed on these boards I laughed at all the Dis addicts. I read so many great tips though. We got an AP for the room discount this time around, not planning to return within a year.

We haven't even gone yet and I'm thinking of taking advantage of free dining and hoping to catch the Wiggles for the kids in the fall. Now advice on how to convince the husband.

African stew is sold at Mara's. I also ordered it through room service. It wasn't on the menu, but they had no problem getting it for me. How are you guys missing this one? ~I can't hang on the restaurant board. I gain 10 lbs just by opening the link.~

Ruth - YIKES! 2 more days. If I don't get a chance to tell you - please have an awesome trip. I really don't think you're going to be disappointed.

Actually - all you guys have a fab time @ AKL! I know we have a lucky few that are about to ditch us.

Well I just got off the phone w/ CRO after a 40+ min phone call. I noticed on our reservation confirmation that they had special requests for the Jamaica bldg. Which we did go from AKL to CBR back to AKL so I really didn't think that much about it. Well apparently there was a problem w/ our ressie because the CM kept putting me back on hold and I just wanted to make sure they had us down for AKL and according to the website it looked like everything was intact but being overcautious I called anyway. Well the CM tells me he has a couple more things to get straightened out and I was on my cell and lost the connection. So I called back and of course had to fill in another CM turns out they had us booked for AKL and BC w/ a heck of a $$$$ bill. So they got everything fixed and the lesson I've learned is try not to change resorts once you book

Hey ~~ I'm so glad they got it fixed up for you!! I mean, the more of the Wild Bunch at AKL at the same time, the better!!!!!

Hi Ruth - thanks for letting me know...I tried looking last night but the online booking engine was down.
This time next week I will be leaving work and finishing getting the car all packed up! Yipppeee!! Can't think about much else!

 

[catsrule]

Two more days!

 

[Windy City Heather]

I am sure it is already in here but I learned this last week that if you request connecting rooms one of the rooms will have bunk beds.

 

[lillygator]

Mary Jo - I guess I'll see you there! We come home the day after you do!

 

[Mickey Fanatic]

Two more days!

I am soooo jealous, but I guess I am luckier than most only 5 more days here!

 

[catsrule]

Mary Jo - I guess I'll see you there! We come home the day after you do!

Hope to see you also, Mickey Fanatic!

To all those leaving in just a few days. Have A Wonderful Time.

Has anyone heard about AKL concierge closing down for Thanksgiving and Christmas to do rehab? I just read a thread on the resorts board. I really can't imagine it. Such a busy time of year to do rehab. just does not make sence to me, but what do I know?

 

[ktink]

Ruth & Catsrule, I hope ya'll have a great trip. Boy I wish we were leaving in 2 days.

 

[tinknme]
