The DVC board official Animal Kingdom Villas discussion thread

[Jynohn]

I didnt get an email last night. Did anybody else??

I didn't get one either. There was a recent glitch in the site (I had to call MS last week because I could no longer log in). I just checked this morning and I was no longer signed up to receive emails. You may want to check your info too to make sure you're signed up. Don't want to miss any more exciting announcements!

I would guess that the "Master" bedroom will now have two queensized beds.

Even with the suggestion that the rooms will be bigger than the standard DVC property rooms I can't imagine they would make them any larger than the units in OKW.

Just speculation...

I'm surprised this isn't here yet.

I just got an email about it also and came here to spread the news!

I wonder when we'll hear more about it!

We will be staying at SSR in a week or so. I will be checking with our vacation guide while we are there to see if we can view the models. Doubtful, but you never know. I will ask him about the details as well, but you know how that goes. A lot of times we know information before the guides.

Wow! Can't wait to hear more!

I was making reservations this morning for my vacation and I asked the CM
helping me if these "rumors" about AKV was true. She said that they are not allowed to say where the new resort would be but that Disney is building a new vacation club location. i asked about the news reports and she still would not confirm location. I guess that Disney is planning their own annoucement.

Hope this helps!

Does this mean that the Contemporary DVC thing was just to throw us off the trail then Oh, and I'm also excited for the AKL Villas

 

[skibum]

Wow!!!

Just speculation...

But that would make occupancy 10. What about a daybed in the MBR.....or somewhere else?

Calling today to be put on the wait list for point purchase. We're not interested in buying til they have 2 BR (even lockoffs) available since our brood (officially now...we're 5) needs the larger accomodations.

Wonder what the price per point will be......

How long did it take from the SSR announcement to publish a pt scale and able to enter into contracts for pre-construction?

 

[burnsoc]

I think HUGE might be a bit of a stretch, I am still betting it'll be hard to book without having home points there

At 400+ units, I don't think it will be that hard to get reservations even if you don't own there. It will be twice the size of VWL or BCV.

Almost everything after the initial announcement is pure speculation, and ain't it just grand??? Imagine how much fun these boards are going to be over the coming months!
I can already hear the Dis-boards a'buzzin!

Maybe they will put a fold out chair in the living room similar to what they have put in the All Star Suites?

Or a daybed somewhere....

 

[Tigger031266]

Help me out fellow DVCers that have stayed at the AKL. IS this any good. Is it fun staying on the 5th floor? Are the lower floors more desireable upper floors or is it opinion?

I am sooooooo excited!!!! I could not be happiers. DVCer's are so lucky.

 

[TammyAlphabet]

I am so excited about this that I am actually giggling. A giggling 42 year old woman! I have already called my guide and I am going to get on her list of people to add on as soon as she calls me back. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BCV23]

I wonder where the extra bedding will be? They aren't going to list "sleeping 9" unless they are providing bedding for 9.

My guess is a daybed somewhere...maybe the MBR. The daybeds in the new Polynesian rooms are very nice and fold up into a couch when not needed as a bed....sort of futon style but much nicer than futons I've seen.

 

[Oreo Cookie]

Tammy - Add me onto the giggling list, and I'm 40 (well soon to be 41). AKL is the where I would want to do an add-on, so I can't wait until they start selling shares.
