Hi hope everyone has a fabulous weekend I'm taking my dog to the beach, hopefully it won't be too hot.

Oh... Have a wonderful time and enjoy! Wish I was going

 

[dgbg100106]

Good morning, Js & Ks!

Pam - I am jealous that you are going to the beach. You and your pup have a wonderful day!!

We discussed taking a day trip to VA Beach or even the Outer Banks, but I think it would be just too much for Bob to handle. We were just talking yesterday about the fact that this will be our second year in a row without an Outer Banks family vacation. We have chosen to spend our vacation money at WDW in October, so no money for a house rental this summer. It is one of the casualties of our "new lifestyle."

your new lifestyle sounds like a pretty darn good one!

 

[dgbg100106]

Sounds like you have a great weekend planned!

I know this will sound sappy... but honestly anytime I can spend with David is perfect for me...

That makes sense. I didn't realize you had two ownerships. So, even though you own at AKV, you have to have AKV points to book at the eleven month window. You know what you could do, borrow from 2013 AKV points, and bank the SSR points if you wanted to keep your 2013 points at their regular number. That way you wouldn't lose out on the CL.

Well, that makes sense, but they said I had to wait, I think I'm all borrowed out, i dont know off the top of my head, too lazy to look it up

Sounds fun! Have a good time!

Afternoon J's & K's - hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!! DH has to work the entire weekend - so it's just me and ds - we went out last night to dinner with friends and then went to see Brave - what a cute movie!!! We saw Merida on our trip - so it was cool for the kiddos to see her in the movie!! Tomorrow we are going to see Pippi Longstocking, it's part of LSU's theatre series - so, that should be fun!!

OK - gonna make us some lunch, then back to the pool -

How is Bob doing? Good I hope!! Sorry you aren't going to the beach, but, WDW in Oct. will be great!!!

Thanks, I hope so, too....If it's not we move to Kidani for 2 nights, not a big deal at all.

In the CL lounge are beer & wine the only alcohol served? Any bourbon, rum, etc.?

Leaving in one week for our Super Sweet 16 trip - so excited

 

[michelleinpa]

Any tips to make our stay at AKL CL extra magical for my birthday girl?

 

[michelleinpa]

I didn't mention it since it is not my dd's actual b'day - but this is her present.. Should I say something?

Sorry, only beer, wine and cordials in the CL lounge.

Yes - definitely let the IPO know. At check-in the CMs will give her a birthday button and you can arrange to have something delivered to the room to surprise your daughter. You will have to discuss with the IPO any possible charges ($). I know they used to deliver a simple, little cake gratis, but it's been a couple years so I can't say for sure it would still be free.

We had an arrangement of Zebra Domes delivered for our daughter's sweet 16 a couple years ago and it cost us $30 (plus tip)! But it was worth it since she was thrilled!

Hi y'all! AKL Newbie here! Hope you don't mind me joining in! AKL has been my dream resort since we seen the first photos and since we seen a test room when looking into DVC at SSR. I have been so excited since we booked! But over the last few days, I have become terrified! I am hoping you can help calm my nerves.

I have not stayed outside of the MK area as a adult and to make it better, have never even stepped foot on AKL property. Thinking I probably should have atleast visited before making the decision to stay there. I keep reading mixed reviews about the transportation. People are saying that in the mornings, its not uncommon for the first few buses to drive right past Jambo House because they are full from the Kidani guest. This is really upsetting for me. I am a planner. I like to work on a schedule. If the buses keep getting filled up at the previous stop, then that would really throw me off. I usually give a hour drive time anywhere, but still. I like working with a pretty set time. We will have a car but I really didn't want to have to drive. We did that for years when we stayed at SOG because their buses were horrible. I expect that from SOG, not Disney! Have any of you really experienced this? Should I really be SPAZZING over the transportation? Please, fellow AKL lovers - tell me this is someone being over dramatic and getting passed over by the first few buses is not something I should be concerned about.....

Have a wonderful trip! I agree, absolutely tell them. You never know if/when pixie dust might come your way. Also note the celebration on your dining reservations if you've made any, they usually will give a birthday dessert.

Jessica, please do not stress over the buses. I have not encounter any bus problems, and I'm curious if anyone else here has seen that happen. The most we've had to wait was 20 minutes and there has always been plenty of room in all of them. I was the same as you, always wanted to stay there since they opened it, and I'm now in love. It is a fabulous resort and I can't complain about a single thing.

When are you thinking of going?

I have never encountered a problem with the buses either...

Thank you everyone for the well wishes the weather could not have been more perfect. Just hot enough with a lovely breeze the whole day.

My Conner thoroughly enjoyed himself

and some wild horses came quite close. We went to Assateague State Park.
