Just bought in to AKV last February, 200 pts. Taking first trip home Oct 20/08 for ten days. Eight of us going, first 3 days in two studios, the last 7 in a two bedroom. Cant wait. Two years ago when we were last at WDW went to Boma for dinner one night, that was it, just that one visit and we fell in love with the entire place.

We're still waiting for our purchase to close. We started a proceeding to buy more points already. We started with 175 but kept reading here how great AKV is and we like to take our family on vacation, so we added 60 more points.

Thanks for all the info and pictures everybody posts here.

Can anybody give me an approximate price for the various safaris and other activities?

TIA.

Soooo....

I called this morning to see if we could get into AKV in August instead of just staying at OKW. We got 3 of our 7 nights, waitlisted for the others. DH isn't very happy that we are staying in 4 different rooms over 16 nights, but maybe the waitlist will come through and it will only be 3 rooms.

I am excited to figure out how to use our points! The bummer is that our APs expire this August so we can't use any more of our fabulous points without buying more APs.

We purchased AKV in March and can't wait for our first time home! I absolutely loved Animal Kingdom Lodge when we stayed there in November.

Thanks for the terrific thread!

We just bought in last Thursday 160pts. I can't wait to make our first trip home! Unfortunately, we will have to wait until Kidani opens. It will be SSR until then.

Just sitting here looking at my 2009 points -- yep, used all of my 08 points already and have a Dec UY -- to see how many nights I can stay at AKV in January 2010!

Go for it . We have owned at BCV and VWL and we have sold all and ended up with AKV and we are very happy with it and have never even stayed there . But we have always wanted to own there even when AKV was not even thought of back before BCV even opened. So we knew this was the right thing to do.

I know just what you're saying. Now, don't get me wrong....I love BWV, but AKL, all I can say is WOW when I walk in. It's fabulous!

My DH ( who is usually pretty tolerant ) may actually strangle me if I bring up selling BWV so I think I'm going to start sloooooly just adding a few points here and there.
