We'll be taking our first DVC trip this August. Using our points for 6 nights in a 2BR at BWV but staying at AKV 8 nights first on a cash reservation in a 1BR savannah view at Kidani 8/16 to 8/24. Do you have to be on points to go to the mingle? How do you sign up to go?

We just upgraded from CBR to an AKL pool view for November 11th - 20th, and this will be my 4 and 2 year olds first trip, so we're super excited! I've visited/stayed at the majority of resorts, but left Florida in 2007 for the West coast (just moved back to the East coast) and have yet to see AKL in person - so hopefully it will be a fun surprise for all of us!

It should not matter if you're staying on points or cash. Sign up in person at the DVC desk (in the lobby). Sundown Mingle is Mondays & Wednesdays.



(Always carry your DVC member card with you! You never know when you might need it for discounts or admittance! )

Thank you! I'll be sure to have my member card in my wallet!

Hi, Bernadette! You will love AKL!

Thanks Elin! Emma, Joe & I have stayed in a regular room at Jambo and I was actually surprised how much I liked it. Looking forward to our first villa stay (I've stayed in studios twice). It will be awesome to have a washer/dryer in August! I think DH will enjoy Kidani. I'm a bit worried the girls won't like the sleep sofa but they will probably think its cool. I'll be happy to be off work for 2+ weeks.

Your trip is coming up soon!

Thank you! I'm so excited since it will be 11 years since we've stayed at AKL! I can't wait to go!!!

 

[Disneyholic]

Yay!!!! I have been going to the DVC site for about a month trying to get a studio, savannah view at Kidani. Every time I went in there were unavailable days in the middle of the week I wanted. Every time it was different day. Today I went in and all the days from August 25 through August 31 were available. Needless to say I jumped on it and booked it right away.

Please add us to the August list. Thanks.

Now all I need is for it to get here!!!

Please add us to the August 2013 list. Thanks

Congrats again... 11 years huh... Hopefully it will not be that long before I get back there...

I'm super excited my mom and I will be staying at AKV Jambo in a standard view room from Sept 9-19th. She doesn't know where we are staying so it's a big surprise for her!

We just got back from 8 days at AKL.

Sadly our corridor, 4th floor pool view, had no fridge.

The bus service was great - not nearly as remote as we were expecting and very well organised. DTD can be a long trip though.

 

[jgperkin]

When was akl room refurb?

 

[RapunzelsGoodMom]

Have a great week off Brandi!

I'm officially starting my vacation countdown! 40 days to go! Did my online check-in over the weekend and starting put things into the "staging area" for packing. My DD3 and I are Disney fanatics (hoping to convert DS1 to one as well)....but this will be the first trip with DH. Who just doesn't understand what all the "fuss" is about.

But now I'm getting so excited that I can't wait! Having a hard time planning my quick beach weekend that happens before we head down again.....can't wait for AKL (and BLT - split stay)!!!
