Hi Laura,
And hi to Katie, Ryan, Mickey, and Jack. Welcome to the Disboards. We are doing the AKL prior to the cruise. If you send me a PM (private message) with your e-mail address I will try to send you a PDF of the two magnetic signs I created for us. Again, Welcome

Welcome Laura and family!!!!

Hi guys and thanks for the welcome! Can I sound stupid and ask what AKL stands for? Oh, and I did a search for "magnetic" and saw pics. of what some people put on their stateroom doors, very cute. I think I may stop by Home Depot where they sell the disney paint and pick up some of those mouse ears myself! I'm not creative enough to come up with anything myself
Yes, I'm from Long Island, New York! Just about 20 miles or so from the city or 35 mins. on a train ride!
I'm loving these message boards, very addicting

Hi Laura,
AKL stand for "Animal Kingdom Lodge" at WDW. And it was not a stupid question, some of these initials and acronyms are very confusing.
And yes these boards are addicting, both my DW and I check them often.

Thanks Andrew Hey Hawaii, what room are you guys in? I'm pretty sure we're in 7100 and 7102 adjoining. I think it's near the aft elevators so it will be a busy area and noisy Did you sign up DD for the Ocean Lab? Andrew sent me a file for some artsy door pictures, I'm going to try and do something similar in the coming few weeks!
My dh booked the land portion of our trip yesterday! We're staying at the Polynesian in a lagoon view concierge until the 22nd! Woot!!! I'm so excited! Oh, and he also booked the romance package for the ship! Does anyone know how I can reserve our spa massage ahead of time? I've already reserved some of the babysitting, signed my 12 yo. for Oceanears Lab, and reserved Palo Oh, and we're just about to look into the excursions for CC and Nassau. Trying to figure out what we can all do together with the age diff. 1, 2, 12 and 15. I'd really like to see Atlantis but don't want it to be more work with the two little ones, this is a vacation afterall right?
Ok...enough of my rambling! Somebody else post here please!

Laura

Am I counting wrong? I count 34 from today til we debark from Cape Canaveral A bit less til we get to WDW

 

[hawaii5o]

Boy where did I mess up? Maybe it was until we leave for Disney of July 9th???

 

[alanapapa]

Just 3 more weeks and we will be onboard. Anybody have their doc's yet???

BTW Jeanne, your sign look great.

 

[hawaii5o]

Thanks Andrew!!! It was my first one that I made. I was surprised how good it turned out. I didn't really know what I was doing. Thought the black might have been too dark, but I think it looks good with the other colors. I can't believe our cruise is almost here!!!!!!!!! When are you leaving for Disney? We are leaving on the 9th. I will be so excited when we get the docs . Did you ever pick any excursions? We didn't. Are your daughters excited???? Mine is!!!! Oh I have a ??? on that magnetic door board, how do I get to look at the most recent ones? I used to have all the pages on the screen to click, but now all the pages aren't there..........

There is a little carrot or arrow by the name of the last poster for that thread, if you click (probably left click, but I don't know I use a MAC) you shoould go to the last post. Or you could click on the "last page" where the page numbers are.

Yes, we will be arriving on the 9th to WDW and staying one night at ASM before going to AKL.

See you soon,

 

[alanapapa]

Sorry I forgot, yes we have a couple of excursions planned. My DW has wanted to go parasailing since she was watching the Love Boat in Junior High so.....
Plus DD11 & I are scheduled for the EcoTour. We opted to just take a bus tour of Nassau and then walk around ourselves.

Hey Everyone,

We just got back from our camping trip in Missouri and Arkansas, it was very nice but hot!!!
We got our doc's on yesterday. My mom found them @ our back door when she was checking on our house. Now I'm really excited. I can't believe its finally getting close. I never thought it would get here.
Those of you who are doing WDW first, Have fun and maybe we will all catch up on the cruise.

 

[alanapapa]

Let's all do the Doc Dance, and hopefully our Doc's will arrive soon.

 

[hawaii5o]

Hey guys,

Just got my docs today!!!!!!!!! Andrew, you should be next!!!!!!!!! gotta do it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am sooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alanapapa]

Here it is Wednesday night and still NO DOC'S.. Please send some Pixie Dust to the Seattle Area and with it send the DOC's, Please..
I know, I am fretting needlessly, but it is hard when some of you got yours Friday.

 

[hawaii5o]

Pixie dust coming your way!!!!!!!!!
Did you book with Disney or a travel agent? Hopefully they will come today or at the latest by tommorrow. They come ups.

 

[4dysarts]

Sending Pixie Dust your way. Hopefully they will arrive today or tomorrow. Best fo Luck.

 

[alanapapa]

Hi All,
Thanks for the Pixie Dust. I just talked to the TA (in Denver) on the phone and she said the doc's came in yesterday (6-29-05) and were "mailed out" the same, and that we should get them soon. I am hoping that she either FedEx'ed them or UPS'ed instead of US Snail. Even UPS ground from Denver would arrive Tuesday, but US Snail might not make it until Thurs or Fri and we fly out Sat at 7:40AM. Sorry, but I am venting.
