Sorry to hear of your travel frustrations. I had heard spring break week is particularly bad.
Your poor dd we have bad allergies ourselves, but they seem to clear up in FL. ... is she allergic to the animals or just Fl in general? Hope you get her meds soon.
I'm sitting here now trying to talk myself into a Concierge studio room next Feb over a SV 1 br to save points. My son's first question after his exclaimation ("Food!") was "Is the food out all the time?" I told him no (and mentioned that it's just snacks to hold you over until meal time - i.e; everyone shares... don't clear the place out!) I was hoping perhaps you could tell me what times of day they offer up snacks and drinks.
Oh, and do you have access to a camera? and the nerve to trek into the new kidani pool area? hehe... just asking...
Enjoy your trip!
You are funny. I am finally reading this but it is 10 pm so a super secret trek to the new kidani pool isn't even an option.
Regarding the food, a bowl of fruit and drinks are out all the time from what I could tell. At 6:30 am, there are juices and coffees available. At 7 to 10:30 am, there are fresh cut fruits, juices, pastries, cereals, oatmeal, and an African like oatmeal thingy. At 11:30 to 3pm, there are "African snacks and beverages"(peanuts, goldfish crackers, gummy bears, homemade cookies - I didn't know these were from Africa but that is what the brochure says
). At 3 to 4:30, there are loose leaf teas, scones, cookies and biscuits. At 5-7 pm, there are hors d'oeuvres(i.e. lamb kabobs, chicken wings, squash soup on Friday for us, then meatballs, bbq ribs, and coconut chicken curry soup tonight) with cheese, dips,crackers, and assorted spiced veggies and beer and wine. At 8 to 10 pm, are samplings of deserts and cordials. It was a nice selection, but we would have to eat at least one meal (lunch or dinner) to satisfy us.
We received our checked bag today around 4 pm. So nice to have my daughters meds... and a brush. Finger combing our hair wasn't really doing a great job. My dd is allergic to "spring." It doesn't matter where we live, she suffers in the Spring. Her RAST allergy test results were off the charts for numerous weeds, pollens, etc. She stayed in the room all afternoon with red swollen eyes but was almost back to normal within a couple hours of getting her eye drops. I still can't believe I packed the meds in our one checked suitcase - so stupid!
We will be moving over to a 2 bedroom at the WLV tomorrow. We love AKV and are really happy DVC added it to their collection. My hubby is sold on concierge. If I could just more vacation time, we would add more points!
i love akl concierge. that is the main reason that i own 
We returned at about 2 pm. Room was ready and asked bell services to bring up our transferred luggage. He arrived before we did and opened the door to a strong smell of smoke. The maid was in the hall and she came in and sprayed it. When we arrived a couple minutes later, it smelled like freshly scented sprayed smoke. He called the manager and we waited a little while until she arrived. We had opened the balcony doors and were trying to air it out. When she arrived, she could still smell it but called another manager up to verify the "smoke smell." It was strongest in the kitchen/living room area. Apparently, the 2nd managers verification is necessary because they charge the previous guests $400 as a fine and cleaning charge. Whew! I need to remember to complain in the future if we smell any smoke. I certainly don't want to be charged $400 just because we decided to live with it.
