Seven isn't too far away-y-y-y-y-y; in fact it's here now! AKL Lite Thread presents:

Yeah, it was scheduled originally for March, but we postponed it, we have an online music store that has been tanking since the economy took a dive. We have so much inventory we were hoping we could move it before we had to just give it away, but now we're going to have to shut down the store, let the employees go, and donate the inventory. We can't continue to clam a loss on our taxes now that the IRS has caught on. It's going to be tough but losing this much money every year has got to stop. It's just sad because the employees have become like family, and what are we going to do with all this music?

....if you wanna donate it, why not to your local schools? I'm sure they'd LOVE to get some of your inventory.....

I'm so sorry you're having this happen. And on top of everything else.

Happy Friday everyone! Thanks for the domes!

Kim you have a beautiful yard! Your DH did a wonderful job!

Elin, enjoy your time off!

Sorry to hear that you have to go through something like this!

I hate that for you and your employees, Alison. So many people's lives have been deeply affected since our economy collapsed.

That is tough... I am sorry!

....if you wanna donate it, why not to your local schools? I'm sure they'd LOVE to get some of your inventory.....

Thanks everyone! We will probably donate it to a dozen schools! I just have to find some with viable music programs. So many schools in California have cut their band programs it's very sad.

Elin, take some time to completely relax. Save the housecleaning for another season.

Kim: Gorgeous yard!

Hello everyone... 2 weeks from tomorrow we will be checking into AKL (after spending 2 nights at CBR)

My little guy is counting down the minutes until we check in. He just loves AKL

Does the Kidani health club have a Smith Machine? The Smith Machine looks like this and they are in other WDW health clubs:

I posted my question to the DVC Resorts thread, too but thought someone here might know.

They have health clubs at AKL ....


Just kidding but I never really stepped inside them

...first thing on the list of things-to-do at AKL:

Love it!

 

[Sue M]

Don't be sorry, you don't have to ask silly questions like mine


Yeah, you're nuts all right, Kim. But, let's talk about me now! Can't I just eat the Domes on the Smith Machine? The treadmill cupholders worked fine with turkey legs and beignets


I'm in the midst of a total revamp of the summer trip that's been booked since November. DD has a camp that's going to be the week we were to leave. Looks like I'll be moving the trip up a week to mid-August, but I need to know now about the Smith Machine. It's not a deal breaker, but would placate DH and make him a happier bench-pressing camper. We've never stayed at a DVC villa, and DH has never stayed at AKL, so I need to hype this up a bit more than say, WL/CL which is his FAVORITE.

Actually, I just noticed yesterday that Kidani has its own gym, I thought we'd have to go over to AKL, which he said was not a problem. So having another gym to choose from there is the icing (and bacon) on The King cupcake...

Sounds like we may be there the same time! We're looking forward to AKL CL. Haven't stayed at AKL since 2009 & Kidani wasn't open. We booked with our Jan BB in WL room. Ended up at AKL cause only bunk bed rooms were avail at WL but now really excited about it.
