What is the olive IPO envelope?

....same as the ochre IPO envlope, but GREENER! But, seriously, it's a "Welcome" kit with itinerary tips, facts about the AKL, confirmation of arrival, etc.

OK, everyone..... well we just got back yesterday from our WAY too short first trip to AKL. We fell in Love. I was so afraid to get my hopes up about this resort, because the last time I did that was Wilderness Lodge and I was horribly disappointed. However, everything about this stay was AMAZING!! Our room had a view of the Arusha Rock, which was gorgeous. My son absolutely loved it all. I am planning on doing a trip report and will let you guys know when I have started posting it. In the meantime just wanted to share some of my photos. Some of them are from Animal Kingdom and Epcot, but there are quit a few from AKL. Hope you enjoy!!

Michael's 5th birthday Surprise Trip!!

Take Care,
Dana

Dana:
I'm soooo glad to hear that you were not disappointed with our AKL !(yeah, like I really OWN it!). I was looking forward to seeing some of your pix, but when I clicked on your link, it wouldn't come up [I got an "ERROR" message]....perhaps, you can post a few for us right HERE.....

Another question: I was reading on another thread about turn down service. Can I request turn down service at AKL? Thanks!

 

[kimmar067]

I believe all the rooms do have balconies, so no, you can't walk out or off of it. However,you may get a "parking lot" view........... BUT, you can call and have it noted on your reservation that you'd like to be on a certain floor.........

....yes, all the rooms do have a balcony, with the exception of the 1st floor "Pool View" rooms, since they open out directly to the pool area...

DRAT!!! I tried clicking on your link again, but all I got was the 'cover' to your photo album (it has a flower on it)....but it says that I have to SIGN UP in order to view your album....I don't really want to do that....

I just had to congratulate the Jambo Wildbunch on their tags! (I think I saw the Tag Fairy in motion---one minute they weren't there, the next minute they were!)
They are so purty! Good job Kimmar!

I see them now too! Congrats!

Although I am bummed I haven't gotten one yet I even have a Wild Bunch Ticker. Oh well I guess my turn will come one day. But hey I am getting closer to the 1 month mark! I am now thinking of trying to turn down service, if it is a no or small fee.

 

[ktink]

Yeah, congrats on the tag. Ahemmm, Hello tag fairy....... I worked very hard these past few weeks to be a member of the Jambo Wildbunch.

So tell me more about turn down service, please.

"We stayed in a Std Pool View room last year, and there was no extra charge for turn down service. Upon arrival simply call "Mousekeeping" and request turn down. I had to wrestle DD8 for the chocolates they left on the pillow! Sometimes I even won!

Pluto's Pup had left this a couple pages ago-I was curious about turn down as well since DD 11 thinks it is the ultimate (truthfully I like it a lot too!)

I also remember reading somewhere in Jambo's 110 pages (& counting) that someone might have been charged $5/night?

Loving the fabulous photos and tags!!!!! Life is good! Another thanks to Kimmar!

Sorry for Double Posting-But the first one was unreadable-EEK!

Obviously,

This isn't working for me : -ok how do the rest of you quote from someone's post?

 

[J Lynn]

I just noticed that I got tagged! I feel so special...thanks TF

 

[John's Mom]

Dana,

Love your pictures. Saw several pics of "the boys." What happened to "the girl?"

 

[John's Mom]

There is no charge for turndown service. It automatically comes with concierge rooms. If you want turndown service for one night or your whole stay, just call Mousekeeping and request it. I usually leave $1 a bed for the maid who handles this service.
