Hi Erika
I'm always interested in hearing about the resorts, because it seems like I am always changing my mind about where to stay
(thus my permanent home on the RCer thread!
).... I stayed at AKL CL on my first trip in Jan 2008 and we fell in love with it! On my second trip in Sept 2009, I briefly flirted with a Ressie at CSR when they where introducing the thought of CL there , but I quickly changed back to AKL CL in the end because I just couldn't not go back "home!" In FEB 2011, my son and I went on a trip by ourselves and I bounced all over trying to find somewhere "new" to try.....had reservations at BWI, Poly, and finally decided on staying CL at the beach club. We went , and our first day there looked at each other and said "I wish we were at AKL!!!" it just wasn't home! My most recent trip, in Oct 2012, I decided to stay at the POLY and they it for ourselves.....we bounced around on that Ressie too, from BWI Deluxe room to POLY CL.....in the end we went with POLY because we needed three dedicated sleeping arrangements. We liked it very much.....but just didn't LOVE it! I have come to the conclusion that I think we are an AKL family.....but sadly, my boys are grown (16/20) and trips to Disney are looking like they won't include the kids much anymore.....EXCEPT one last time, in Late NOV/ 2014 or Jan 2015 when I take my youngest son and his GF on a graduation trip , which I've promised them for 2 yrs now! BWI deluxe room still has a pull on me, and it's one I am still interested in trying outside of AKL.....however, on the grad trip, I'm leaning towards KIDANI 1 BDRM Savahnah view villa with deluxe dining in place of club level. It would be my first non- CL stay.....but I love everything I've seen about Kidani's 1 bdrms....the king bed, two bathrooms, washer and dryer in room, and two pullouts for the teens.....two tv's and beautiful balconies! I just think Kidani fits the bill and am aiming at trying it out.....hey, it might be the winner!!
for a family stay, anyway. I will miss CL, but we've always wanted to try deluxe dining, this would be the perfect time to they it!
I'm looking forward to hanging with you all and talking resorts
PS...I just finished reading your Kidani TR and it solidified for me that this will be my next resort stay! Wonderful review, and I'm so excited to try it!
