This is only our second trip and first for summer!! I'm sure I will over pack. Tanks and running shorts for day and cute mouse themed clothing for dinner. I still have 6 pairs of shorts and two shirts to make for DD. And I need to make our family shirts!! Ok, I'm stressing myself out!! And my DS11 is flying to Cuba in an hour and a half!! I'm freaking out right now!!!!!!

my son flying to Cuba would TOTALLY freak me out!!!

Ok so I know you guys now really well right! Can somebody give a UK girl a clue here...folks on disboards keep talking about people from a country that can't be named...and everybody else seems to know where they are from. I don't! I guess you can't say it but any clues? Is it the UK? Lol

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

that is new to me?? Maybe France?

Probably "the Brazilians".

 

[John's Mom]

Probably "the Brazilians".

I agree. It's probably the Brazilian tour groups.

 

[Paula Sedley-Burke]

Just running thru with a quick question - can guests at Jambo use Kidani's pool, and vice versa? Thanks!

I thought I heard/read that it was allowed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

Absolutely!

Absolutely!

Thanks! we are debating WL or AKL. My kids like the slide at Kidani, but we woudl stay at Jambo. Waterslides are big deal breakers for my boys, apparently,

Anyone - which is a better pool/slide - WL or AKL?

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone had a link to the gift shops in Kidani or Jambo House.
I bought princess towels for my girls, but thought animal kingdom towels would be cool for the boys.

Does anyone know if hey sell these??

In order of best to worst.
1. AKL-Kidani
2. AKL-Jambo
3. WL

Hi all. I have a question. I did online check in yesterday. We are staying at Kidani on rented points. I requested to be close to the Timon elevators but I noticed on my request it just said close to elevators? Is that a problem or do you think the " Timon "part is still in the computers just not on the online check in page. Just curious. Because we are renting points I can't call to be sure and I would hate to call the member and have him check.

 

[kimmar067]

Absolutely!

.....she's absolutely wrong??? [ ]

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

To-morrow, to-morrow... I leave, tomorrow!! This time tomorrow, we will be heading to MK.. We have a dessert part at 9!!

 

[livibug]

Whats the word on pool toys - such as noodles and the like - Yes? No? Yes but frowned upon? Welcomed? Encouraged?

Joining the thread, this will be our first stay at AKL It is my dream resort! We are booked for 1 standard view studio room, and 1 savanna view studio at Kidani for Sept. 19-26. To make a long story short we had been booked at Shades but when some family backed out of the trip last minute we decided to change it, we went from there to AoA and then to renting points for AKL. We couldn't get a 2 bedroom savanna view so we are splitting up our large family into the two rooms So should I be asking for anything special as far as rooms go? any suggestions for a good spot, or near elevators but also a good view for the savanna? (is it savanna or savannah? lol) I do have knee problems and am currently in physical therapy to rehab them, while I'm going to try to tough it out and wear braces I may end up renting a wheel chair in the parks if my knees cannot handle the walking after a couple days.....so is that something I should tell the dvc member and have them put it on the reservation? Also what is the deal with parking? We will have our own vehicle as we are driving from home. Thanks for any help

Joining in. We will be there Sept. 20-28.
