We visited the outlets and went to that Disney store - it sure is a great place and I think I got the same coloring book as well!

Love the AKL pics and how sweet of the CM to give you a rose at check in.

That is so awesome that your room was ready already!!! It looks like a fantastic place. I cant wait to see more pictures.

I am here! Going back to read all that I missed now

Hi Kathy! I made it! Sounds like your vacation got off to a great start. Can't wait to read more.

 

[KatMark]

Did it get easier to pass by your "home away from home" as you went to and from AKL?

I love your D&B bag, that's nice to have both a strap and handles!

I haven't been to the outlets in years, yet we drive by them often. The Vera store has been calling me! Maybe sometime I'll get to stop by. My boys aren't shoppers.

Yes and no re CSR. I love by D&B bag too (I only use it for Florida trips). I love the outlet malls; I missed the Vera store this trip.

Do you think you can PM the addresses for the two outlets? I'm thinking our MNSSHP day (which we still haven't decided when that will be) might be a good shopping day, or maybe after an AK day?

Thanks!


Love seeing the pictures of AKL! Keep them coming!

Done!

I hope to do an update tonight.

Not yet but pictures are loaded and I hope to get the final thoughts done on the last report done and then I will post a link.

I'll be on the lookout, Pat.

That CM at AKL was a real sweetheart.

It was great having our room ready so we could have the afternoon to do what we wanted to do.

Kira, thanks for coming over.

Joining in! Hi! Loving the updates so far! Can't wait to see the pictures of the villa!

 

[norybell]

Don't you love it when your room is ready so early??!! It's the best!

Can't wait to hear about your villa!

 

[kmrein]

Just wanted to sub...now to go back and read. Looking forward to it!

 

[Poolrat]

Pat, glad you are caught up. Have you started a TR for your recent trip?

All done and new report up
Eat, Run and Celebrate

 

[inkedupmomma]

seems like we all had luck with having rooms ready right away! I LOVE AKL! But man is it far from everything! Idk if I will ever stop going to POFQ, it was so close to everything it seemed!

So looking forward to seeing your room!

 

[WDisneyMom]

Can't wait to hear more details about AKV, I know we are staying at AKL but close enough!

Thank you for joning.

Can't wait to hear about your villa!

I love when the room is ready. We have been fortunate in many of our trips to have the room ready when we arrived.

I'm there my friend.

We don't take the buses in most circumstances; personally, we prefer driving everywhere. And I liked that AKL felt far away...it felt like we were in a whole different world.

POFQ is right down the road from our second resort -- OKW!

Can't wait to hear more details about AKV, I know we are staying at AKL but close enough!

I'm going to try to keep my eyes open and do an update tonight (our youngest son was in town visiting with his girlfriend for the weekend).

 

[KatMark]

Okay, let's fulfill several of your wishes and get some Kidani villa photos posted.

I left you with me posing with my rose on the way to the car to park in the underground garage. We were in the Pumbaa parking area. We got a spot right next to the elevator and brought the first of the luggage up (Mark went back down to get the rest a little later). Our room was right off the elevator so when going out we were very close to our room after parking our car for the evening.

This is going to be picture heavy, but let me just say that when I walked into the villa, I just burst into tears. It has been my dream to stay here since the resort was built; when I walked into that room and headed right to the patio doors, I just lost it.

Okay, let the pictures begin:

Up next, more villa pictures and what we do with our afternoon.

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Oh I can't wait to see more! We fell in love with this resort the moment we got off the bus. We stopped at Kidani (had no idea where we were) and finally made our way over to Jambo for our ressie at Boma. LOVED Boma. And you had a one bedroom which means jacuzzi. Hello?!?!?! My dream room.

I hear you on the crying. I burst into tears at CBR checking in when we were upgraded to a connecting room with our friends in preferred corner room section with a perfect lake view. Most incredible pixie dust ever. Glad you get sentimental too.

 

[chloe770]

Wow! Nice room. Can't wait to see more.

 

[MEK]

All I can say is I Told You So!!!!!!!! Isn't it just the most amazing place????

For people who have never stayed there - those pictures don't even begin to do it justice. Pictures really can't capture how truly magical and beautiful those villas are.

OK....now....MORE!!!!!!

 

[dizneeat]

Okay, back from Paris and catching up on my subscribed theads!

I am happy to hear your travel day went so well, and shopping at the Disney outlets the first day is just my kind of vacation! You are my kind of girl, I always knew that!
Great that your villa was ready - we experienced plenty of it this summer ourselves!
Kidani looks really nice, we saw a sample room during the DVC presentation, but it must be even nice in the real resort!
Can't wait for more photos!

 

[marvali]

Oh, and your chapter links look great! It makes it soooo easy to catch up if you fall behind. Though half the fun is all the chatter in between which usually consists of Marv's name being thrown around quite a bit! He really brings it on himself, doesn't he. Have a great day!

You are so right! I think it has something to do with the company I keep.....

Soon we were passing this:

Okay, now I'm homesick.......

And then seeing this:

And now I'm REALLY homesick!!!

Mark took a picture of me outside the resort before we got back in the car to park in the underground garage and head to our villa:

Up next, our Villa and our view.

Mark just wanted a picture of those legs!!! And how nice you got your "Welcome Home" with a rose!

We were in the Pumbaa parking area. We got a spot right next to the elevator and brought the first of the luggage up (Mark went back down to get the rest a little later). Our room was right off the elevator so when going out we were very close to our room after parking our car for the evening.

Okay, there has to be a Dan, Tim, Glenn or Jordan comment in there somewhere........

 

[tinacaplan]

AMAZING villa, Kathy. So happy for you. Kidani looks so beautiful. I'm sure I would have cried, too.

 

[PhoenixStrength]

Great pictures of your room! I can't wait until I can stay there one day. And I totally get the crying too, I do it when I walk in a room at POP because I'm so happy to be there!
