I wasn't sure if it would be similar to Jiko and if I was doubling things up. But both in one trip is a good choice? My thoughts were that we were going to be spending the whole last day at the parks and could come back and eat and leave our car there after checking out and just get in our car after one final good bye to AKL. So that is a good idea???

Jiko and Boma are completely different restaurants. Check out their menus on allears.net and wdwinfo.com.

Also, did you know that you have access to the Lounge until midnight of the day you check out?

Wow !

This sounds like a great trip -

Super choices for eats, too !

Thank you!! I am hoping to add Boma to that list too! Thanks for coming by!! I will have another update tomorrow.

I am going to try to get Boma added for our last meal there. And no, i had no idea that we could still access the Lounge until midnight of check out day. The pool too do you think? So there will be no problem leaving our car there all day? Yeah!!! I could just hug you for that info!

We're doing the spirit of Aloha this year. Count me in as another one of those "sweet drinks that you can't taste the alcohol in" lovers. Guess I'll be ordering a blue Hawaiian. Thanks for the tip hlrababy.

We could all make sure we get pictures with one and open a Blue Hawaiian Thread later!

They are so, so good!!!!! The last time we went, they sold them at a little bar outside the show area while you waited. But, you can actually order them from your seats, you just have to pay extra for them. They are sweet and really good!! I am like Mary, I love, love sweet drinks to where I can't taste the alcohol!
They used to serve a drink at the show about 10 years ago called a tropical lava. They quit serving it around the last time we went in 2001 and it was soooooo good!! Of course, it was all you can drink. I had my personal best........6! I could barely see straight! Let's just say it made for a very interesting night...I got a hairline fracture in my little toe once we got back to our room!!

Are they blue? I will get one now don't you worry...

And I have to laugh about the toe thing... I know it had to hurt but it was so dang funny to read that someone else has that issue. At least you have it while drunk... I do that in the middle of the night on my TV stand without a drop of alcohol. Better than an alarm clock it is!!

Trust me, if it is left unattended in my memory, it will fade away quickly!

Yes, and they are so yummy!!!
I am accident prone like crazy!! I have fallen down the stairs going towards our front door, I hit myself in the head with the phone at work while answering it! I just don't know what my deal is!
Ouch!! I hate night stands when my toe hits them!! I could pick it up and throw it if I wasn't swearing!!

That is sooo funny! Who needs alcohol when you can do all that sober. You were sober at work right? I hit myself in the teeth once with the phone... grabbed the phone instead of my coffee cup. Maybe I should have a glass of wine now... all this alcohol talk has got me in the mood. But then again... what if my TV stand decides tonight is the night for another broken toe....

The tours will take a lot of time, we know. But we are so excited to do these now that we are willing to sacrifice being able to ride tons of rides. We’ll be back, we know that so very well.

So I read over all the tours and finally found a great report on the Epcot Seas Aqua Tour by happybratpack. Click here to read it!I started reading it with great interest as I would know all the details. And I quote,

“At that point we were taken to the locker rooms where each of our names were on the locker doors. Inside were your wetsuit,”

Did that say what I thought it said? Re-reading just as fast as my eyes could, WETSUIT? No one told me I had to wear a wetsuit! I knew the other tour took a wetsuit but mine never mentioned it. A wetsuit? Ok, people, I am not Ms. Skinny who still looks fat in a wetsuit, I look fat ahem, excuse me, Poohlike without one.

Breathing deeply and keeping the panic down. Perhaps it is optional….

“we had to trudge through the pavilion and up the stairs in our lovely sausage attire. I just kept my head down and pushed on among the stares.”

:::::::thump::::::::::

Horrid thoughts of children gathering around my, what did she call it? Sausage attired self and people staring and me just melting away, not quick enough to look good in this suit mind you, just mentally melting.

Read on I tell myself, it’s just a moment in time, you can walk really fast and perhaps use DS to block my pavilion entrance entirely if I plan this out.

“Before heading off to the deep blue they had each party turn around for a picture that they later gave each person a copy of in a nice little folder.”

Oh yeah… a picture is just what I need. That helps … perhaps I will hang it on my refrigerator to help me with this eternal diet that I seem to be on.

I have also heard it rumored that people looking at the tanks can see us in there as well and I hope the glass is thick enough that if some Shamoo type comments come, I don’t hear them. I seriously almost cancelled me in this tour but decided most of these people I will never see again as long as I don’t have anything with a LGMH on!

The great and wonderful news is this, I have been so wrapped up in how will I get the wetsuit on, will I be able to get one that fits, will it be so tight I can’t reach my feet to put the little flippers on, after all that, will I even be able to breath through the regulator thing, etc, that I have completely forgotten to worry about the whole parasailing thing.

Up Next: Does this make my butt look big?

Hope you can get an ADR for Boma. Yes, you can still use the pool. I don't think the AKL would tow your car away.

I even watched a you tube video of a girl getting into the wetsuit. It is like body pantyhose!

I think I can I think I can...

I was laughing too when I wrote it. I keep laughing about it and I think that will get me through it.

What is your favorite dish?

Attn: all Boma lovers,l tell us your favorite dish so far there!!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

I am sooo taking a picture of me with my blue Hawaiian for the thread. I'll be having mine in 5 days!

I'm sure you are going to love all the tours you have booked.

Had a giggle about the wetsuit.

Perhaps yet another use for bodyglide?

 

[John's Mom]

for Boma!

You have to try all the soups at Boma. So delicious!

I will try... I am not soup adventurous... My DP is so I will make her do it! LOL I am wine adventurous... and dessert adventurous.... I will try at least one of them!

Boma and Jiko have the largest selection of South African Wines in the U.S. You could get a flight of wines (3), either red or white, to go with your dinner. The desserts at Boma are delicious. Most people love Zebra Domes.

 

[luvfigment]

You can count me in on your PTR! You had me laughing so hard! I also have always wanted to do the Platinum Plan so I am going to read all about what you are doing and dream that one day I will be able to do it.

I love AKL...that is my favorite resort! Boma is really yummy and if you get a chance (I know you have a busy schedule) but do the culinary tour at AKL before you eat there. The chefs will kinda tell you what is for dinner and how to "attack" the buffet, I did that back in 06 and it worked out perfectly...you also go to Jiko for the tour.

A flight of wines... that sounds wonderful! I think I will do it as we leave there and head to visit family... always good to go on a "flight" first!
You say MOST PEOPLE... are you not a zebra dome lover? I have heard so many things about them so I am ready to try them.
