I am not sure.Was it an actual fire or did someone burn something while cooking and it set the sprinklers off?
Could not get an answer.

Happy Fourth of July!Happy Fourth of July to All!
Yes! Nomad!!Thanks for the great trip report and photos, Patrick! Sounds like exactly the kind of trip my DH and I would love, but our DGD would never forgive us if we went to WDW without her!
I love Sanaa. We had breakfast there twice on our Kidani trip. there is an egg dish that I just fell in love with. I love the spices there and at Boma.
One little thing, I think you meant Nomad Lounge, not Tambu. We love Nomad and on our adults only trips have spent a lot of time there.![]()
Glad you enjoyed your WDW trip!Yes! Nomad!!I'm sure people were going
. I've since corrected it on my original post. Thanks!! Nomad Lounge has long been a must do whenever I've been in AK, and as with many things Disney, it was Jessica's first time there. She loved it, as well.
A few quick notes and random pictures to close out our adventure. . .
1. Our room was in the Zazu section, just as it was last year. We actually like that section as it's a much closer walk to Jambo. HOWEVER, in the lone annoyance about our trip, the Zazu elevator was inoperable so in loading and unloading the car, we had to find the nearest elevator--Timon, I believe--and walk all the way back to Zazu. When we left, we did haul the suitcases down to Timon and then I drove the car to them. While bothersome, this situation is as Jessica likes to say, a "first world problem." So true.
2. We simply love the theming of Kidani bedrooms. I'm afraid with any impending refurb that such classic details such as the furniture and tile in the bathrooms, et. al., will disappear, much like charm that went away when VWL did a huge refurb many years ago. If I want bland, slick looking walls and furniture, then I can book a Wyndham or Hilton room. I'm afraid we'll miss such things as the hooves acting as table legs (which I'd never noticed before).

3. We did not get to the beloved Lodge nor, obviously, Geyser Point. It was in the plan, but we remained flexible based on how we felt. The menu at GP just didn't hit us well with all the heat at the time--it's a bit heavy-handed. Our replacement was The Boathouse which had far more to offer and also gave us water views. Besides which, we could make a reservation there. Further, at AKL, at least, each day starting around lunch and lasting much of the afternoon, there was a sign at the entrance saying guests had to have either a resort or dining reservation to enter--I assumed they'd have the same at WL and GP doesn't allow reservations, of course. Could we have gotten in? Maybe, but why worry about it when you have The Boathouse at your beck and call?
4. We do have one more trip this summer, and it's kinda Disney related. We'll be in HHI within the next week or so, though not at the resort since rooms there are as tough to get during the summer as rooms at WL during the holidays. But, we're right across the water at Shelter Cove so we'll wander over for a Mickey waffle or two.
Until the next trip. . .

A bit cooler up here in the mountains, too, JT!Sounds like lots of fun Sleepy!
Your AKL trip sounded like it was a blast too
Sorry, I have been on hiatus lately. Work has been kicking my tail and the heat too. We’ve had way more rain than usual, to the point where we are on high alert for flooding everyday.
But right now I’m on higher ground at Beech Mt in NC! One of my happy places among others like VWL and WDWView attachment 985546
November is such a perfect month to get away to Disney. The weather has been unusually hot this year, a break would be welcome.Happy Friday everyone!! Hope everybody is having a great(and staying as cool as possible)summer! I don't like to wish time away as its so precious to us, but skipping on to fall wouldn't hurt my feelings right now
Does anyone know when the Christmas festivities begin at WDW, whether it be park decorations going up, resorts decorated, etc.? We are going to be at WDW Nov. 13-22, F & W will be ending the weekend we go home. So I'm curious if MK for ex. maybe would have decorations up or not that week prior to Thanksgiving. Never been in Nov. so its a new one for us.
Thanks twinklebug!!November is such a perfect month to get away to Disney. The weather has been unusually hot this year, a break would be welcome.
The Christmas parties start in the MK on November 7th, so that park will have decor including the tree up for your trip. The decor around the resorts staggers throughout the month, and there's no telling which schedule they'll have this year. You can keep an ear out or perhaps ask concierge if they know which resorts have been decorated and which have not. Even the bus drivers may have a good idea which ones are decorated as the decor often makes its way out to the bus stops.
