Thanks WendyPooh!

Hi Janet ~~

DH said he actually didn't connect to the internet, he only downloaded the pics, but he did say that you can use your wireless at the resort. (We use wireless too at home). He talked to a man in the lobby who was on his laptop using his wireless, he had a MSN page up on the screen so that's how DH know's he was online!!

Hope this helps!

Greetings Wild Bunch!

Just paying you guys a visit to treat you to some AKL photos taken on my recent very quick (3 day) stay at the Lodge.

I had a room on the 5th floor overlooking the Uzima Savana.

The 3 day stay was perfect as it was a treat to myself as an escape from work and family.

I was surprised how spread out this Lodge is compared to the Wilderness Lodge. I think I'm a Wilderness Lodge gal at heart but I'm pleased to have experienced the AKL and all its splendor.

I'll pop in from time to time with a pic or two- and I took quite a few in three days! I loved looking at all the details that went into the design.

Glad you had a good time!!! Beautiful photo....... I think I stood right there!!!! Please, come share your photo's anytime!!!!

Just dropping by and checking the thread.

Ok fellow AKL lovers, this is my 500 post and I could not think of anywhere else I would rather post it and celebrate. You are all welcome to join me in a Monday afternoon celebration.

Way to go!

lol...i love this thread....you guys just keep getting me more and more excited about our upcoming trip!! but about this olive/ochre envelope...when could i expect this?? i booked through a TA, will i still get one? i received my confirmation papers a few weeks ago, and the TA included a map of AKL, but there was nothing else specific to the resort in there...im starved for AKL info, so id love to have that envelope!!

I believe this is a CL thing. I could be wrong though. The only thing I have ever recieved in the past was just a little extra disney welcome to AKL thing from the manager (which was basically pre-printed propoganda, but I ate it up!!!).

Kimmar,
Any more news on the trip?!?! What is SIL thinking about doing? I hope you hear some answers soon...as I still have everything crossed for you.

... haven't heard from her yet, either way....I'm trying to gather up as much info re WDW as possible, while also looking for other websites to e-mail to her, so that she can decide already......

The "Ochre" Envelope:
Yes, I do believe that is a CL thing; when you book concierge, it arrives at your home. Included is a menu with the food offerings for concierge throughout the day, a return-card with your dinner ressies so that they can make ADR's for you, and other stuff, like making tee times.....

[Cthia]

Those are some great pictures. Thank you for sharing them. They get me more excited about our upcoming trip.

 

[matt&jakesmom]

I love the pictures!!! Makes me think if we should change from standard to Savannah view for our trip in August. I may not want to leave the resort to go the parks. Thanks for sharing!!

If you don't mind paying a bit extra absolutely upgrade to a savannah view. You won't regret it at all.

Great pics BTW! I love hanging out in the rocking chairs.

Angel16 - Leave it to me to find a way to do a split stay with AKL & CR. I had to let go of sunrise safari, but we always return here so I'm sure we'll do it in the future.

Kitka ~

Thank you for sharing your AKL pix with us...you have a wonderful amily there....

Uhhhh, hey guys, is it just ME, or does everyone see nothing but an "X" where their countdown thingie is supposed to be....??!?!?

 

[ktink]

Great pictures, Kitka. That just makes my day.. I had a dream last night that we got upgraded to Savannah view for free. I guess I stay on the Dis so much that it has WDW on my mind, there is no telling how many times I've ridden EE w/out leaving my bedroom

Uhhhh, hey guys, is it just ME, or does everyone see nothing but an "X" where their countdown thingie is supposed to be....??!?!?

I am seeing the "X" too. Wonder if the hosting sight is having problems.

You have no idea how happy I am that it wasn't just me!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Wow! I haven't posted on Jambo site for several days and Fabulous Tags (THANK YOU TAG FAIRY) Gorgeous Pictures, Zebra Dome Plate going around (any left?) all kinds of awesome things going on!

Been trying to figure out my ADRs (of course including Boma and Jiko),,,so many choices, so little time to try them all..................

I think I'm turning into somekind of maniac, but I was thinking about making my family a surprise itinerary that borrowed from travel itineraries when people go on real as (opposed to fantasy ) safaris-you know the ones that Mickey doesn't come on ..I'd have to find some travel safari brochures and play around with them...Does anyone know whether there are any scrapbooking supplies specially AKL/AK themed?

By the way, I'm not a big drinker (a couple of glasses of wine a week, an occasional cocktail when I go out) but I'm thinking I have to try a Victoria
Falls speciality whenwe go. Any recommendations?

Ok gotta run...there's a man chasing me down with a net...thinking I'm crazed and obsessed with AKL...
