Hi, I have a question.

I noticed in the first post that AKL does not allow balloons in guests rooms. So does this mean I wont be able to ask the resort to put balloons in the room for my brothers birthday?

Probably not. I know when the resort first opened they didn't allow lids and straws on drinks because they were afraid they would get into the animal habitat. That may have changed in so many years.

Correct - no balloons allowed.

The straws at AKL/AKV are made of paper! They work quite well, but eventually start to get a little, ummm, soggy!!

Not sure if you bave AAA or not but, I believe if you go to your local branch or call you can boost to platinum plan which i believe will give you the ability to park for free. At the parks. Does anyone have any info on this or can they confirm this.

...stay on topic, man...stay on topic.

We are driving to WDW for the first time later this month. We have always used WDW transportation, but will have a car to use this time to go from park to park, etc. I have looked at maps but I guess until I get there its all greek to me as to how to get from point A to B - I have printed directions from AKL to AK, MK, DHS and Epcot and those seem pretty straightforward. What I cant figure out if off site places to eat and how to get to those places (addresses, etc). We are tired of park food and would like just some fast food out or maybe a couple of kid friendly sit down restaurants. Can anyone provide any direction....please?

...I'm assuming that you are staying at AKL, right? When you leave AKL, you can take Osceola Parkway to Sherberth Road. That goes into 192 [Irlo Bronson Highway]. There are TONS of place to eat there. Hope this helps...

Agh yes kim is correct those food places or restaurants are real close. For me, whether I drive or not, I'm eating on property. My car stays put from day 1 till last day. For us its easier. Good luck.

As a matter of fact I am currently watching the contractor repair one of our lines. Not too far from Ron's house he just sold too... Better question here would be , shouldn't you be focused on your students....lol

So excited I'm having a hard time breathing--decided to try David's rentals for our trip in October and they came through so we have a Savannah View Studio for Oct 13-20 (please add us to the list--thanks!)

Thank you all so much for the tons of info that you post here--love the pics too

I am wondering if I could get more info about the DVC Studio units--what is included in them--especially in terms of food prep stuff?

There's just the 2 of us--do they have king size beds for DVC studio units? If so--how do I go about requesting that? (or is that already decided by the owner--still unsure of when all that stuff takes place)...

Thanks again for all your info and excitement--looking forward to spending some time with you all to help bide the time until we get to go.

Have a magical day!!

Agh--looks like my counter thing part of my siggie didn't work... it is from the disticker--any help with that too would be great--thanks!!

Congratulations on your trip! Alison answered wonderfully so the only thing I'll add is that with your counter, go back and make it again, and when you're copy/pasting I think you have to pick the second from the bottom option. Keep trying until you find the right one, you can always 'preview' your signature before saving it.

We'll be at AKV in December and seriously CAN'T wait!!!
