WOW I'm glad I found this thread...maybe you all can convince me and make me feel better.....

Ok so far we have a studio SV room booked for our anniversary trip in May..on the waitlist for concierge..but now I'm not sure if we should stay at BWV because we were married there May 7 ad I would love being close to Epcot and DHS.

So what do you all think I should do?

We just returned from a concierge studio stay June 1 - 9. I am definitely in love with my new "home"!!! Here is a link to a review with lots of pictures around the lodge and of all the food offerings in the lounge:

Back in April/May when we were looking for a resale I'd check the sites usually once a day for listings. Usually there would be few (3-4). Today for the heck of it I looked at the TSS site & there are 19 AKV contracts for sale! All pt. sizes. I didn't bother checking any other sites. What's up with that? Economy, new booking policy? What's changed in that short amount of time? Any thoughts?

My guess, for what it's worth, is uncertainty of the economy and gas prices. And maybe even people are getting ready for the sales of the Contemporary.

On another subject of AKV....When we were doing our tour and talking all things AKV with our guide he said that the new theme pool at AKV will be for members only. Did anyone else hear that? That would certainly be a nice perk!

I read that somewhere too, but I can't remember where. No pool hopping to Kidani.

I can tell you that a lot of DVC owners added on at AKV, took advantage of the points for the first year, plus the developers points, then decided to dump it...knowing full well this was what they were going to do ahead of time and that they would be able to get what they paid for it back. Not very nice, but true. Our guide even made a comment about this. That and some people bit off more than they could chew financially.

Hi Everyone!!! I've had my SSR contract for a little over a year and this past spring we added on 85 AKV Points!!! We just decided this afternoon to do a last minute trip to AKV on 9/2 in addition to our xmas trip!! We got a SV Studio! I'm so excited!!!

I was wondering if there is a certain savannah I should request the room to be near? I know a lot of people mentioned that the construction kind of obstructs some of the the SV rooms! Thanks!!

I'll jump in - We just FedExed our signed papers today. It's hard to believe we're now DVC owners!

Hey all you AKV fans,
We are heading to SSR in a month and will eat breakfast at Boma one day. We would like to hang out for the day at AKL. I am wondering if anyone has a recent daily schedule of events for the AKL. What is offered through out the day and what are the times? Anyone have a favorite activity?
Thanks, Marriedmyprince

My favorite Savannah is Arusha. However, I am not sure if you can see some construction if you are at the end of the Zebra trail. If you definitely don't want to see construction, then I would request Uzima.

Alright girls and guys, I need a little help here because I am not sure what to do. DH and I are supposed to go to WDW 12/7-12/12 to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We have a 1 bedroom CL unit booked. Here's the thing, for a couple of hundred dollars more I can stay for the same length of time at a resort I having been dying to stay at in Mexico. I don't know what to do. We go to Disney every year and this year we are going twice. However, we have never stay CL before - ever - anywhere.

So do we go to Disney or Mexico?

Hi fellow AKVers. I was wondering if you could tell me what size the safes are (in a studio if that makes a difference). I was considering bringing my laptop, but would only do so if I could keep it securely stored.

Thanks!
