JAMBO! The UN-official AKL Thread ~ UPDATED(short film/pg 8 & slideshow/pg 12)

[mmmears]

People interested in learning about AKL have to now search through hundreds of non-relevant posts. Let the flames begin.

I've been researching AKL for an upcoming trip -- and it really did take me almost one week to read through this thread. It is great and informative and fun, but IMO it is getting really long and hard to read through if you are just looking for answers to your questions.

I am not a regular poster to this thread but feel it's time to share some thoughts. First, this thread was great in helping us decide to pick AKL for our trip last year. Once there, AKL became our resort of choice for this year's 30th anniversary celebration. And now to my point.....shouldn't this thread be moved to the Community Board? People interested in learning about AKL have to now search through hundreds of non-relevant posts. Let the flames begin.

...talk about FLAMES....while I certainly understand what you are saying, it's NOT like reading War and Peace....


BTW ~ Who are YOU calling ZEBRA DOMES "non-relevant"??!??!!? [ ..... ]

I see your points ~ no flames from me. However, if you have a particular question and feel the "searching" is taking too long, then just ask away...... There are many people here who will be more than happy to answer it or try to point you in the right direction to get the answer.

Oh, and to the Jambo!!! Hope to see you both around here more often!!

Thanks again!

Hi there. I just wanted to do a quick post. I read this thread before our trip. We stayed on the fifth floor arusha savannah for three nights. It was awesome. I don't know when we will stay there again, but our view was great.

I agree with you Wendy. I don't think reading the entire thread is nescessary if you have a question(s) just post them as they might not even be covered yet(or up to date). Maybe kimmar can add that in the OP. One thing about reading a larger thread from the beginning is that a lot of things tend to change over time and some of it may not be as relevant as it once was.

There is also an Offical AKL FAQ Thread if people are looking for quick and basic resort information that is orgaznized in the first few posts I believe.

Everyone here is friendly and willing to answer questions (there is a lot of AKL experience here) so I'm sending out a to any lurkers or anyone else for that matter to come and join in.

Great pictures thanks for sharing them.

 

[mmmears]

Thanks to everyone who's contributed info to this thread. I'm relieved to know I can just ask a question instead of looking and looking for the answer.

(I just wish I knew that a week ago )

Seriously, I think this thread has helped us tremendously in planning our next trip. We had never been to AKL before, went to dinner at Boma's, and were enchanted by the place.

If anyone has any photos / reviews of the kids resort activities I would love it if you could post them. We're going in March 2007 and my daughter has lots of questions about the resort.

Thanks again!

Mom update. Just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and ask if you could please continue them for a little while longer as she just came through her second major surgery in 15 days as she developed an abcess in her pelvis and wound up with a perforated colon. Hopefully she is now on her way to recovery.

I don't have any reviews of the kids resort activites becuase I don't have children yet, but I can get some pics for you when I go in September. I think the cookie decorating one sounds like fun and the bead activites looked fun as well. Make sure to check out the night vision goggles as that was very interesting.

I don't even know where to begin! This was our "treat" part of our 10 day trip. Since there are five of us we are required to stay in the deluxe view. We had originally planned on a non park day there but it didn't happen. The children loved exploring for the hidden mickey's. My 6 year old is an expert at this now. We didn't finish the list though. We loved our view so much that we didn't go on the safari ride at AK. I have probably over 50 pictures of our view. What would you like to see???

 

[mmmears]

Other than ADR's and Sunrise/Sunset Safari reservations, what do people use the IPO office for? We're going AKL CL in March, and I dont want to miss out on anything!

Also, does anyone remember what park hours are like in early March? We've been to WDW in October, with very limited park hours, and Spring Break when the parks didn't close until really late. This would really help us to plan how many days we need!

Thanks!
