John's Mom, I hope you enjoyed the time you had with your son when he was home. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. You must be proud of him.

Out SIL was on R&R from Iraq in Floridia this past January. We surprised our DD and SIL with a stay at AKL concierge level. They had a wonderful time and were treated superbly by everyone. We arranged for them to take the sunset safari with dinner following at Jiko. They were in Florida for two weeks and they have told us their stay at AKL was the highlight. Out SIL is coming home this July. We pray.

Kathy and Webbie I have added your son and daughter to my prayers. Thank you for their service and sacrifice. :grouphug:

My DH and I are looking forward to our WDW vacation this fall. We have ressies for AKL. :cloud9:

...Those like sinful!! I will be giving them a try also. Geesh I lost 50 pounds this year, I just hope all the walking will keep it off!!

...don't worry, if you get a room at the END of one of the hallways, believe me, you will burn off those Zebra Domes...and THEN some!!

(Pssst, for anyone NOT 'into' Zebra Domes, try the Coconut Tiramisu..... :cloud9:

Kimmar ,
It is an excellent show. This will be my 3rd time seeing it. Never fails to astound me ! :goodvibes

I'm so glad to be reading good reviews for La Noumba. My DH let me book it for our upcoming Aug trip and I am hoping not to disappoint... :love:

He didn't want to go at first because he said he already saw the show in Vegas. I really hope that he and our kids (10, 8 & 4) will enjoy it. Your positive comments are helping me feel that I made the right choice!

thanks,
Honu2

First off my prayers are also with all our service men serving in Iraq and their familes as well.

Zebra domes are on my don't eat list as well but DH eats all I take :banana:

Now those triangle things that have the fruit on is a different story love them :banana:

La Nouba is just about the best thing going at Disney. My DH who is was really afraid would not like it has not after two years stopped talking about it. He just loved it as well as did I. In fact a year later I took my friend and her children to see it and they were just awed by it. It was not at all what I expected but is just one of the most fantastic shows going. I love that guy with all the muscles :confused3

Oh, my your trips came fast....oh yeah that's because I'm not going with you. :sad2:

I hope that you have a wonderful stay and that you enjoy the AKL as much as we did. If you have time, be sure to chat with one of the ambassadors from Africa. These young guides are so proud of their homeland, and like to share their knowledge.

padisneylover · Mar 30, 2006

Have a great trip all and enjoy my favorite resort. Can't wait to read your trip reports and see the pictures.

Doing the 30 day :banana:

We are just going to miss you. I believe we are leaving for the cruise on the 29th. We arrive at ALK on the 25th. This trip has become incredibly long thanks to Delta. When we arrive back to port on May 6th Delta changed our flights coming home , awful flights , a 6 hour layover, way to long for the twins. We are now staying in Port Charlotte for 5 days after the cruise with DH Mom. I would LOVE to go back to ALK after but I think it is definitely out of the budget .

It is gorgeous here today 70 and it is suppose to be even warmer tomorrow . This is totally putting me into the spirit of things.

For everyone leaving soon . Have a blast :banana:
