***The Official AKV Owners And Lovers Thread***. Come And Chat

[*KeepMovingForward*]

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?

The voice of reason in my head would be saying go to Mexico since you've already been to Disney once this year. Save your points and make the next time at Disney CL.

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!
Tom

We are finally (a few days ago) into the double digits for our first trip home to AKV!! 92 today. I can't wait now til we reach the single digits!

I just got home last night from a trip west, and I got to tour the models for the new VGC at DL... they are beautiful! Just like the AKV ones were. The theming is in the Craftsman style. We are so excited. Now we know for certain we're going to add on there, as well as more points at AKV. The kids loved the size of the rooms, and DW loved the decor. She said, "I almost like it as much as the AKV decor!" That's cool, because she's the one who said "let's do it" after she walked the AKV model... she's ready to sign the papers for more AKV, and for VGC once they start selling VGC. Yay.

Hi everyone! I am really glad to have found this thread.

We are new AKV owners as of 7/19/08 !

DH and I had been tossing around the idea of purchasing DVC for some time now, but since DH is a huge AKL lover it seemed to be the right time to purchase AKV. We bought 160 points with a December UY.

Originally, we had not planned on going back to WDW until November, 2009 when our youngest would be 4 and the schools are closed a few days. Now that we have 160 developer points to use at SSR, we can hopefully plan something for May around Memorial Day or the week after DS7 gets out of school in June.

Hi and Welcome home to all of the new Owners. You are going to Love AKV. we spent 7 nights there in June and Love it more now then ever.

 

[honeymo78]

We're getting our papers notarized tonight and sending the packet back tomorrow. We've got 175 points with a Dec UY. We've already booked SSR 1br for 12/12-12/15 using our developer points and hope to book DL for Feb once the 09 points come out.

I know we'll be down again next Oct so we'll be booking that in Nov - not sure whether we'll keep it at AKV or try to move to VWL at 7 mo. And if BLT goes on sale and we they offer developer points too, who knows how many more trips we'll end up with - time to rack up some frequent flyer miles.

Hi everyone, we have our first DVC trip booked for March 2009 at the Villas for a 1 BR Sav. view. With the threat of a possible sunset/no animal view what other savannah view would be a great one to request for our ressie?
Thanks everyone.

You can request Arusha or Uzima. Both are very nice.

I'm just subscribing. I want to see what's posted. We are going on our first AKV trip 12/21 - 12/26. We stayed in AKL one night a couple years ago.

Hey there, fellow AKV admirers!!!

Updated plans including the new units declared on the 3rd floor. Interesting note, looking closely at some of the declared units, kitchen layouts are different even within the Kidani units...interesting!

Here's the 3rd floor:

And here's the 2nd floor. I updated it to reflect the last three units being only 1 villa deep at the south end.

Thank you Monorail Purple&Gold!
