I'll definitely be taking pictures. This'll be a solo trip which is really a business trip to my corporate HQ (in Irvine, about 1o mins from the park).

Earlier this evening we just booked our airfare for a family trip to So. Cal - which will include another DL trip. Grandpa really wants us to come out and spend some time out there with them - so he said go ahead, get some tix ON HIM! Can't beat that price. Plus the models for the new GCV (or VGC based on the new official name) will finally be open, so we'll be able to see them! I'm excited about seeing it - I'll miss it on this upcoming trip by just a couple of weeks. Oh well.

We are first time visitors and are considering staying at AKV. Thanks so much for this thread - it has been soooo helpful to us!

Well, the news in our house today is that we just added 50 more AKV points! This time they are in Kidani. No June UY left in Jambo. But no dues on the '08 Kidani points. And $8 off per point. I think we are done adding on for now!

 

[popstar7867]

I am tempted to add on 50 as weal. With the new special and all. I want to wait until after our July trip, which will be our first visit. But if our reaction is the same as yours, we will definitely be adding on then. Anyone think this 50 point deal might still be on in July? I hope so.

What is teh special with a 50 point add on? I havent heard anything about it???

 

[Brave teacher]

Fabulous day!!!! FedEx dropped off my papers, blue box, & tote.

SO excited...

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this thread! I was looking for an AKV owners thread here on the Dis! I bought into DVC with a 160 pt saratoga contract and just added on 25 points at AKV. I wish I originally bought at AKV because we really aren't too crazy with SSR....I wish you could trade for a new contract and pay the difference!!! If only life was that easy! We will be making our first trip to AKV in a SV Studio in Dec! Thanks for all the great pics everyone!

To everyone who is going to AKV soon for the 1st time...you will LOVE your new home!! We were there last month and it is an absolutely incredible resort!! We had a 1 bdrm. SV and each night the three "cattle" (not sure what they really are!) slept outside our balcony! I loved getting up each morning, opening the curtains, and seeing my 3 "boyfriends" (as my DH jokingly called them!) sleeping out there!!

I know! Well at least until next UY. Which starts June 1!

For an add on, you can buy as few as 50 points and get the $8 off at AKV. You used to have to buy 100. I don't know if this will be a permanent deal or just a special. Likely the latter.

I'm thinking of a trip in 5/09 with friends but want everything to be opened at that time (new pool, new restaurant). I want the full effect. Does anyone know if the resort is on schedule? If not I will be perfectly happy with home VWL. TIA

OK, I need some more planning advice from my fellow AKV lovers!

We are debating on whether to reserve a Savannah view studio for next June or try and get a Concierge one. We will be travelling with my parents but the bigger consideration is my boys. They will be 7 & 9. I know that they will LOVE Uwanja Camp so we were thinking that we would really like to try and stay in Kidani and request something close to Uwanja. But the idea of the lounge sounds fantastic! I'm figuring that the walk beween the Lodge and Uwanja will be a bit much but we will have our truck. We just can't decide what to do. The points aren't an issue so I am not factoring that aspect in at all.

Oh the tough decisions in life So what would you do if they were your points?
