Now Live From AKL Club Level!!!

What a great view!!! I am so happy everything is going well and you're having a wonderful time!::yes::

Thanks so much for checking in and sharing pics! :flower3:
 
First off your pictures are beautiful! Hope the weather is just as nice. We are checking in, in 7 days and I had a strange question....if you happen to be in Zawandi gift shop can you look if they sell jugs ( gallon size) of spring water in the "food section"?? Only if you happen to be in that area, please do not go out of your way! Eat some yummy food from Boma for us:cool1:

Thank you! The weather has been in the 80's the last few days, but today it's cloudy with thunderstorms expected for a while. It should clear up before the Herman's Hermits concert tonight though! :goodvibes

They have large sized bottles of Dasani water in the gift shop, but no gallon sized - sorry. :)

We had dinner at Boma last night and it was delicious! :cloud9: My new favorite dessert is the Kenyan Coffee Tart. :lovestruc I followed my usual pattern of dessert first, then dinner, then a little bit more dessert. :upsidedow (Which might explain why I'm gaining a bit of weight. :rolleyes1)

You are very welcome! Don't forget that someday I expect (and am hoping for) a TR of some kind from you! :laughing:
 
That plan of attack on dining is a great idea! I promise to give everyone a report of how things were when we get back. We will be there April 16-24th:)
 

Thanks so much for posting a live report! We will be staying at AKL in June for the first time (not CL or anything) and it's my dream place to stay so I love reading/seeing what it's like!

:rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: Don't hold your breath!!! :rolleyes1

Any word on the corner Tokelau rooms or saving that until you get home?:thumbsup2

Well, let's put it this way. Your view from the corner room at Tokelau nearest Tahiti has a wonderfull view of a LOT of trees. You would honestly be better off getting a room in Tahiti. Sorry!

Just as I suspected!!! Thank you so much for confirming! :flower3: Tahiti would be at least LV (do not like GV side) or try for Figi marina GV...decisions, decisions. :rotfl:

How did you all spend the day? :goodvibes
 
Yesterday we saw Hermans Hermits in concert (which was the whole reason for the trip :rolleyes1) and boy were they fantastic! It was a great concert and DS9 was in heaven. :love: Now he has a crush on Peter Noone. :upsidedow

Afterwards we rushed to the Wishes Dessert Party and had some wonderful desserts. They had a creme brûlée there that was :cloud9:

The poor babysitter I got for DN5 was up a little late last night but I gave her a good tip.

More later. :)
 
We went to the Askerhaus lunch yesterday with DN5 and he actually liked
meeting the Princesses. That, the bus and the monorail are the only things here he has liked so far.
 
That's a good tip! I wouldn't have thought about that when switching resorts!

Do you think they painted the pool blue because of safety issues? Can you see the bottom better when it's blue? Maybe people thought it was dirty w/brown bottom. I haven't see it yet but it sounds more authentic with a brown bottom.
 
Subscribeing, I need my Disney fix, won't be at AKL until November :sad1:
 
Trying to decide if we want to upgrade or not. Are you doing the safari??? That's really the only reason I want to be on the CL!! Have a glass of Indaba for me!!!
 
Hey, kaffinito! Sounds like you're having a great time!
Knew that Herman's Hermits was going to be great! Awesome! :thumbsup2
 
Sorry I had to run - the "amazing pucking boy" was at it again. :upsidedow. DN5 seems to do that a lot unfortuatly.

The resort is just as beautiful as I had rembered it and the pool - aside from it's blue color is still as lovely as ever. The water here is colder than the water in the Volcano pool though! Today is a
down day until a late lunch at Teppen Edo and another Hermans Hermits concert tonight.

I have another tip for you when doing the DDP and CL. DON'T! It's way too much food, and you might find yourself, like us, just not eating in the lounge or not going to our ADR's because we are too full. The breakfast part has proved useful, but we will end up going home with a few TS remaining and most of our CS and snacks remaining.

I'm not sure why they painted the bottom blue, but it sure looks :sick: now. It kind of wrecks the whole swimming hole motif they had going. Now it looks like a regular pool. I also didn't think it was difficult seeing the bottom of the pool when it was brownish, but I know a lot of folks complained because they thought the pool was dirty.

We aren't doing the safari, I couldn't quite see us getting up that early to go. We tend to get up at the crack of 9:30 when at WDW. :lmao:

I do really like CL here. I just wish AKL wasn't so far from the parks. I think I would love it if AKL's CL was moved to the Poly. :upsidedow

Here the upgrade in price is well worth the $$$ IMO. The breakfast offerings, evening and desert offerings are really quite good. And there is enough of a variety to please just about everyone. I think an upgrade to CL here is worth it, and would do it again here (and at BWI in a heartbeat).
 
Other tips I have are:

Make sure to pack your own suntan lotion. The stuff they sell here isn't very effective and I have major sunburn now. :)

If you go during a busy time of the year make your ADR's around the parade and fireworks times. The crowds can be brutal if you are rushing to an ADR and have to wade through a parade or firework crowd at the parks to try to make your ADR time.

If you are staying CL make your ADR's around the times of the offerings if they are important to you. Otherwise you might miss about half of them. For example, we still haven't had the afternoon tea here and that was our main reason for staying CL here! :confused3

I'll have a few more tips later and some more pics. :goodvibes
 
Glad to hear that you are enjoying CL at AKL. I think it's one of the best at WDW!!! And I totally agree about the blue pool -- it was our one complaint about AKL on this trip... I hope your son gets to have a scone and some tea in the afternoon... And I'm glad that they gave you a room near the elevator -- that makes getting to and from the lounge SO much more convenient!

Hope the rest of your trip is wonderful!!!:goodvibes
 
Oops -- I need to add 2 things:

1) Are you enjoying the espresso machine??? Much better than the swill at the Poly lounge, huh?

2) I'm here in rainy CA, jealous that you're still there and my trip is over now!:sad2::sad2::sad2:;)

Hi! :). It was lovely meeting you the other day! I'm glad to hear you had a good trip home but sorry to hear it's raining in CA. :goodvibes

I :lovestruc the espresso machine! The coffe is really good too - that stuff at Poly was so horrible, wasn't it? They
have some nerve calling that coffee! :lmao:
