We have an upcoming trip in September (yay I can now say "next month"!) from the 16-25th at Animal Kingdom Villas Jambo House (We stayed at Kidani in May and loved it but wanted the "wow" factor for the family we are taking who have never been to AKL).
He're the short version of how this trip came to be. Last September, we were in WDW, my DH, my sons and myself, and we were staying at AKL. We took the tour of DVC and DH said "I won't buy that ever". We took our $100 gift card, fast passes and went on our merry way. On the third to last night of our trip, I got the "FD offer" for the following year. I knew we wanted to take a big Grand Gathering trip with our family, my mom, my dad and my sister and her new DH so FD was a great time to do that. I called and booked 3 rooms at the Poly...well, needless to say, the cost of those 3 rooms were half of the cost of the 200 points I wanted to buy with DVC sooooo long story short, we are owners of 200 points at AKL (Already considering adding on!).
So, that leads us to the present. We have booked 3 studios for our upcoming trip. DH, the boys and I will be there fro September 16-25, my parents will be there Sept 20-25 and my sister and the Disney virgin will be there from Sept 20-24. All compliments of our DVC! I love DVC! So, we call it the "unwanted wedding gift" to them, we paid for their resort stay. I think it's a great gift but the Disney Virgin (we'll call him DV from here on out) isn't so sure....
Up next, I will introduce all of the cast of our Grand Gathering complete with pictures!
