[RachelTori]

Holy Zebra Domes! I can't believe we're on page 7. I've been under the weather and haven't been around. Oh well, I'll just be fashionably late.

The important thing is that you're here now!!

Hope you're feeling better.

Total newbie here.
DH and I are taking our kids for our very first real family vacation ever! In fact this is the first real vacation DH and I have been on in the 13 years we've been together. After finding a room deal I booked AKL for 8 days! We are so excited but I also have no idea what what I'm doing. We've never been to Disney before so this is all new for us.

New AKV member here
Stayed at the lodge in 2007 and fell in love. We are staying in 2012as a DVC member!!! Can't wait!!!

We'll be staying at AKL for the first time in exactly 33 days!!! Absolutely cannot wait!!!!

We are staying at AKL for the first time in August, can't wait!

to all the newbies... You are going to love AKL. Dh loved it so much it convinced him to buy DVC

That's how we ended up with our DVC. DH kept saying no, until it was announced at AKL.

Hi All, We are going to Kidani as DVC members this August. We've been to Jambo 2 times and went to Kidani's lobby and Sanaa but I need some details. My kids are middle and high school age and want to try an "Amazing Race" kid of quest while we are a WDW. I was thinking of making one up for Kidani when we check in that the kids could run around and do while we set up the room etc. It is kinda like a scavenger hunt but I was hoping to get some details from here on some info...

I saw a snake statue at the pool or water playground from jungle book and I thought a clue would read something like this...

Find the pool and water playground and find out the name of the snake and from what movie is he from ( i googled it and he is from jungle book and his name is Kaa)

What I was wondering was if the pool and playground area are adjoining each other or in another area from the pool? Also, what is the name of the DVC community room and what is in there- I may have them check that out and play a game of foose-ball or something to get their next clue.

I looked up info on Debs unofficial website but there is no names of rooms or maps, I was hoping to print out a map of Kidani so any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks All!

We had hemmed and hawed about DVC for a couple years, but always put it off.

As soon as AKV was announced, I was in. We bought first day.

For hunts, we've used this, before:

http://www.amazon.com/PassPorters-T...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1301402402&sr=8-2

There wasn't one for Kidani in the last edition we have, but there might be in a newer addition (if there is one).

The pool and the water play area are RIGHT next to each other.

DVC Community room is "Community Hall" (it's right across from the video arcade!)

Here's a good map of Kidani:

OK I added you to the April list also, are you staying at AKL for your April trip? I am jealous, I wish I was going down in April...

I just snuck you into July and when you firm up the date, I can change to be what you need...

OK, found it! July 28 - August 4th AKL-CL and the last night at AKV Jambo.

(how could I have lost it?!! )

Thanks Pilferk! That info is great. The book is kinda expensive but looks well worth it! The map is just what I was looking for Thanks again!!

You might be able to find the book cheaper through other sources. Looks like that version (not sure if there's a newer one) is out of print...so is going for a premium on Amazon marketplace.

Enjoy! We ALWAYS do a "scavenger hunt" for our kids on our off day. Even as young as they are, they have a blast!

Edit: Books-a-million has it for around $12 (less if you're a member):

And so does borders:
http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=1587710269

Both are on backorder....so I guess there's no gaurentee you'll get 'em. But it's worth a shot!
