Glenda....
Enjoying your TR and pics so far.

As far as Photobucket. Have you emptied all your cookies/internet files and restarted your computer ? I had to do this once to get PB to work.

If you have done this however, and still no luck, you could try Webshots.com ? Good luck !

Thanks! I have not emptied out everything and restarted . . . will try that. But funny it took the photos though! Thanks for the tip!

What do you all prefer? Seeing the animals or the shorter walk to the lobby??

I prefer the shorter walk. At the end of the day, I REALLY dont care about seeing the animals.

I'm with you. Actually, I have a 1 BR booked for my solo December trip (BWV/SSR/BCV). After staying at a 2 BR at OKW with my 2 sisters in October (yes 3 of us in a 2 bedroom - developer's points), I did another add-on so that I could have a 1 BR every year even when I am solo.

That's AWESOME! I was actually thinking about doing the SAME thing!

 

[Glendamax]

Thanks for sharing. I get more and more excited about staying there next summer with each post I read on this thread. Can't wait to hear more.

Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy your stay there as much as I did!

When people talk about the longggggggg hallways that Kidani will have..are we walking about how long it will take to get to Jambo House section?? I mean.....aren't the bussees going to drop off at Kidani too? Will that be a long haul too???

Even if they do, and I believe they will - that building is BIG... the walks will be LONG just within Kidani, let alone going to Jambo.

People complain about the halls at BWV too and when we stayed there we didn;t think they were bad. Sure we had a long walk compared to other resorts but it wasn't a deal breaker for us.

I'm hoping the halls won't seem long to us--I'm thinking they won't as we stayed at POR last Oct. and those were some long walks! Hopefully Jambo and even Kidani can't be worse than that .

Just had to chime in here.
During last year's member cruise we were able to buy into AKV and now we are only 27 days away from "Going Home" for the first time as owners.
We are staying in a 2 bedroom savanah view villa and can hardly wait.
Not bragging, I'm just telling everyone that will listen.

Bragger......... 99 more days before we get to officially go home for the first time (I cheated and took a visit this summer when we were at WDW).

Hey, if you can't share your good news here, where can you do it? Definitely post pics and a review when you get back.

I agree 100%. Make sure we hear (and see) all about it! It really builds the anticipation.....as if we need any help in that category!

Hey Glendarella!!! I didn't know that you hung out over here in Mousellaneous. I've started reading your trip report. Your ex BF is WHACK. Tell him I said that.

Hey AKV Lovers, I own here too but haven't yet stayed. We have a 2br value booked for our next trip. I'm really looking forward to staying at my other home for the first time.

 

[honeymo78]

Any tips/tricks or pixie dust for getting a Concierge studio? We're going to try for one for 13nights next Oct. We don't really have a backup plan as of yet - but I'm guessing as long as we're booking SV if we don't get concierge it won't be too hard. But I really want Concierge lol - we're putting off our first stay at BLT to try out AKV.

We are going May 31- June 5th. We may hang out at my sister's the weekend after that and then do another 5 days. Not sure though.

BLT to me = No offense to those who like it, but it's just not for me. It's nothing like our beloved AKV. I do however have my eye on some add-on pts. at VWL.

I got my visa gift card today from my AKV addon. I have no regrets. AKV is goergeous now and KIDANI hasn't even opened yet to make it even better.

 

[hellerjw]

We are headed down to SSR Thursday for our stay on developer points from our recent AKV add-ons. We will hit AKV again in June when Kidani is open.

The Visa Gift Card PINs arrived via mail today, 1 day after we received the gift cards via Fedex.

I was very surprised at the speed at which all this took place, especially considering we were told the pre-paid gift cards wouldn't arrive until 30 days after closing.

We didn't even start the AKV add-on until September 19th and then took 4 or 5 days to get the paperwork filled out and returned. Its been just 3 weeks from start to finish and our new contracts have already closed and our two $500 gift cards arrived just in time for our trip down later this week to SSR! This trip will basically be free since we are staying on developer points, already have annual passes and the gift cards should take care of all our gas, food and souvenirs. I couldn't be more pleased

That's great!! Have a wonderful trip!!

 

[marvali]

Have a great trip hellerjw. Can't wait to hear all about it, and get us some new Kidani construction pics while you're there.

I guess you'll be watching the big game against LSU on TV Saturday night from SSR. I'll be in my seats at the WB doing my part to pull us through!
