:rotfl2: Awesome!!!!! Perfect timing with the picture!!!!! :rotfl2:

Holy Mega Updates! I, too, absolutely love AK. I love the scenery, the restaurants, the pools, the animals, the CMs. Awesome place.

I really enjoyed this TR because there was so much variety. Sorry to see it come to an end, but I know there will be a new one to replace it.

Have a wonderful cruise next week! :thumbsup2
 

Nice photos of AKL.. I've always wanted to stay there and it's definitely on my list!! :thumbsup2

Cruise next week!! yeah!! lucky lucky lucky!! Have a wonderful time! I'm in MD too as you know and I am SOOO ready to go to Disney tomorrow!! 80's!!!!! I am tired of this cold weather already and its not even really THAT cold! :lmao:
I'm a Floridian.. :rotfl:

Oh how exciting for you! Where in MD are you exactly? Do you know Becky? She is on the boards too, and is a travel agent. She is going to the same workshop! How cool is that... I always thought I would have fun being a travel agent, along with a million other things I do :faint: so you'll have to tell me all about it when you get back!!!:thumbsup2

It is going to get blecky here this week, so go enjoy the sunshine!!! AND the fabulous Christmas decorations!!!!! :yay:

Wow, looks like you got lots of fun lined up too!!! :thumbsup2 I better go check out YOUR TR!!!!!

What a great last day of your trip!

The water play/pool area at Kidani is just amazing.


I have added one of those keychains to my souvenir list for next summer. I have a bird made of wire and beads that a student brought back from South Africa. I think I need a matching keychain for my home and school keys.

It is a great resort, you are going to have a great time there next summer! ALAS, those key chains may be long gone by the time you get there... the supply was dwindling and they have sold them for a while.. you may want to check in the actual AK for them too... might have them there vs. at the resort store, b/c that is where I have bought all three of mine and it has been two summers now... check! :thumbsup2

Fantastic trip! Thanks so much for sharing with us.

Yes, AKL is really one of my favorites for so many reasons. Crab nachos are on the bar menu.... not a regular dining room appetizer, but if you ask your server, they will make an "exception".... I could lick the plate. :laughing:

LOL!! Was that you who asked for the recipie over on CP's PTR??!! :laughing: Okay, okay, before I go I will post it! It is posted here somewhere... probably on last year's christmas PTR!! I will get it out... I just bought myself a cookie press today... I am getting very twitchy about missing black friday!!! These are roll-out sugar cookies... but I have been wanting to try out a cookie press for a long time, so I bought one...

Yep, twitchy b/c I am missing black friday!!!! Of course, not really impressed with this whole MIDNIGHT opening... that takes the fun out of it!!! Midnight??!! ICK. I like the pre-dawn adventure! Oh well, I will be sleeping in and hopefully enjoying a day at Castaway Cay!!! :laughing:
 
Oh Happydog, let me be the one to admit I'm quite excited about staying up and heading out to line up at 10:00 or so to get the stores at midnight....
I'm more of a night owl, than an early bird!
I so look forward to sleeping in on Friday then maybe taking in a movie or something!
 
Yes it was me asking about your recipe!! Thank you so much for being willing to share it!!!

I'm going to have to agree with Anita, although night owl I'm not, I'm actually looking forward to head out to line up at 10pm instead of waking up at 3am!!! We have a new tv on our list so me, a good book, and my phone will keep me entertained as I wait!!
 
What a perfect last day!!! :goodvibes
So happy that you share my love of AKV :cloud9: Not that I have not loved my last two stays at BCV but I have missed the pool, lush greenery and quiet surroundings. And speaking of music coming through the impatients :rotfl2: I like the music at the Kidani pool too...the nature noises and such ;)

Serenity in a to go cup! :rotfl2: I am soooooo getting a traveler for the road (walk ;)) next time!!! I just love BZ :goodvibes Except for walking by the dancing fish. They kind of freak me out. :rotfl:

Cruise?? On Friday?? :worship: What are the ports for this one? I would rather be at CC basking in the sun over shopping with the masses any day!!! How exciting!! :goodvibes

What a perfect ending to your trip!!! I, too, :love::love:the pool at Kidani. It is probably my favorite on property. We had so much fun there.

I agree, there does appears to be more animals on the savannah at Kidani. There was a whole herd of wildebeast while we only one on the Arusha savannah at Jambo!

Ooo, both of us are leaving Friday! :dance3::cheer2::yay:

Oh I agree, I guess it is easier to just head out late at night, but I am am traditionalist!!! I can't stand in line unless it is really black FRIDAY !!! :rotfl: So many places are opening uber early!! But I hear you on the waiting in line that evening BEFORE the store opens!!!

Yes it was me asking about your recipe!! Thank you so much for being willing to share it!!!

That is so funny, but you are right, electronics tend to be the good deals for the doorbusters! I just laugh b/c if everyone is opening at midnight I would be stressed about which to go to first!!!! I have a circuit I take since things were opening within an hour of eachother... I could go first to Toys R US... they opened the earliest, then over to the shopping area where they have Target, stand in line there for opening, then Home Depot, 30 minute window, then Michael's another 30 minute window! And lastly my local hallmark store b/c I can get my Jim Shore Santa for 40% off!!!! :rotfl: It was a mission to be certain! Of course I am never buying electronics, just toys and stuff, so everyone is in the queue to get the Blue Ray or TV, and the cashiers are sitting there twiddling their thumbs, so I can get in and out relatively quickly!!! I don't TOUCH Best Buy.... I see that mess on TV the night before and won't go near there!!!! LOL!!! Toys R Us is about as "crazy" as it gets for me, and frankly that is crazy enough!!!!

What a perfect last day!!! :goodvibes

YES!! It is really a beautiful place! I do enjoy the safari-esque sounds!!! :laughing: AND the Tangerine Dreams!!!! :goodvibes

YOU KNOW IT!!!!! :thumbsup2 I was SO excited you don't know the half of it. I was like YES, NOW, PLEASE!!!!! :lmao:

The fish, it took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about.... LOL, they do kinda dance there on their spits!!!!! :rotfl:

Believe me, Serenity to go make the walk so much nicer....

Cruise?? On Friday?? :worship: What are the ports for this one? I would rather be at CC basking in the sun over shopping with the masses any day!!! How exciting!! :goodvibes

Yep, we are on our way to the Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Magic. I am really looking forward to it!

It was a great end to the trip! I know FRIDAY!!!!! :laughing: Can you believe it?!!
 
Great wrap-up to your trip! Those Kidani pictures are so fun! You have put a wrench in my planning! I want to stay there now! :laughing: Of course, you know it only takes a few well-placed photos of giraffes and lounge chairs to have me rethinking things. :lmao:
 
Between our trip, Thanksgiving & getting ready for Christmas I've had little DIS time. You snuck in the ending without me noticing! Great report & a great trip! Thanks for sharing! Now I'll pop over to your new report & hope I'm not too far behind.
 
Great trip report :thumbsup2
Now I'm over to read all about the cruise.
 
I love his face and hands in this picture. He is totally into whatever they are talking about.

Undoubtedly something about teeth and the various animals that may or may not exist in Africa... :rolleyes: Quite the imagination this one has :)


It feels so good to have a new AP. :)

I could not agree MORE!!!! :)

SORRY... I know I know.. I am going back and forth myself. Just want to find the best place available, so I will take anything! :rotfl: But that AK is just so lovely and peaceful.

I have to get myself in order too! Your reports I am going to need to catch up on as well! I will have a lull in the DIS fun soon, so it will give me time to catch up, writing my cruise report will be easy. I want it done by December's end!!!

Great trip report :thumbsup2
Now I'm over to read all about the cruise.

Thanks!!! I am so glad you are going to follow along on the next one!!! :goodvibes
 
Hi HD, remember me? :flower3:

I'm so sorry I feel off the face of the earth, I have just been insanely busy, I never should have agreed to be a board member for the basketball booster club. It is a ridiculous amount of work, and there are only two of us doing the vast majority of it - soooooo frustrating! :headache:

Anyway, things have calmed down a bit so I hope I'm back for good. Not sure what you guys think about still doing a TR from October, seems strange to start one now, 2 months later, but I'm game if you guys still want to do one :thumbsup2 That is, if you didn't just do one without me in my absence, and I wouldn't blame you one bit if you did!
