[Steamboat Marti]

Make sure to say hello to our favorite server at 50s - Anas Loukili.

I'm proud of Bill for going for it - did he say he liked it or will he tell you that in about three days?

More pictures please! I'm going through withdrawal!

[KristineN]

me too!!

Sounds like you are all having a wonderful time! Glad to hear the ex was not able to join

yep...they would never notice....

I think Chris made a very wise choice!

Ahhh! Towels! Think I can snag the extras from the concierge nights and use them for the DVC nights?
I was thinking it wouldn't be that big of a deal if we couldn't book concierge for next year, but maybe it IS! Maybe I should prepare to call day by day at the 11 month mark.

Glad you guys are haivng fun! Tell Bill we are proud of him for surviving the water park!

so far the crowds are not bad....the lounge has been a real pleasure, almost empty. TL was not crowded until about 1:30....we left around 2 ish I wonder if the kids will like Boma...they are not adventurous at all.

Have fun at Boma! That's on our list to try. How are the crowds?

will do. yes, he would go back. but remember he is a sun worshiper...he was content to roast on a chair. he did not go on most of the slides.

BTW....loving the rental car. The GPS has been so wonderful

BTW...the wave pool at TL blew me on my a$$....I was sprawled out on the bottom like a dead fish

Thank you so much for the pics! This one is new to me - the cooler with drinks - there used to be a trash can in that space!

Your kids are so cute and look like they're having a great time. I can't wait to read more. I L-O-V-E AKL

 

[KristineN]

really? how interesting....the cooler has been well stocked with canned soda...there has also been milks, apple juice, yogurts.

This afternoon around 3 pm there was an assortment of cookies, scones, goldfish crackers, gummy bears, granola bars, rice kripsy treats, tea cookies.

Tonight I saw: some kind of stew, meatballs and another dish (didn't pay close attention since we're were not eating there tonight) 4 different types of cheeses, hummus & pita chips, different olives, PB sandwiches. beer, wines.

I will check out the cordials tonight.

Kristine your pictures are making me want to stay at AKL again, I just love it there!

We found this when we came back to the room a little while ago:

That is truly amazing! Do you mind my asking, is this something you ordered or had you just mentioned that it was your DD's bday and they sent it as a surprise? Either way, what I'm wondering is whether I could order it thru CL Cms for my daughter this summer

really? how interesting....the cooler has been well stocked with canned soda...there has also been milks, apple juice, yogurts.

I should've explained - there has always been a fridge for the drinks but it used to be smaller and it sat on the countertop right where it rounds the bend from where the CMs come out from the kitchen area to where the coffeemaker is...

the lobby view from the concierge lounge:

I absolutely LOVE that view The lobby looks better than ever

I wonder if the kids will like Boma...they are not adventurous at all.

My Emma is the worlds pickiest eater and I was really worried about going to Boma with her but she ate more here than any other meal last year. The mac & cheese wasn't that overly cheesy stuff they have at most places.

I really liked the Amber Ale!

 

[triplefigs]

Kristine, are you in a 1bdr or 2bdr? I'm now debating whether to try AKV with concierge for a future trip.

 

[mommykds]

I love the shot of the lobby from the CL. Looks wonderful!

 

[tinker1bell]

Kristine, I hope you have a fantastic trip and can't wait to live through you for 2 weeks! And make sure to die yourself blue before heading to Universal so you'll match Marge...

Kristine,

I just cannot wait to hear about your cruise. Many details, I want many details!!!

 

[UP Disney]

I'm loving the report. The pictures are fabulous. You guys look like you are having fun. We never did check our schedules to see if we'd be in any parks on the same day. We'll be there Friday!!!! Hope to catch up with you some place.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Yep. Concierge for us next year. Definitely.
All that and towels, too! Yep. Going for concierge. I'll need a crash course in day by day booking when you get back!

 

[Tammi67]

I'm glad you had fun at TL.

I hope you enjoy Boma tonight. We all really like it.

[johnsonet]

Gosh! It looks so nice and EMPTY! I need to make a note to make a Disney trip the first week of June

 

[KristineN]

Every night at 7:50 they do a parade around the lobby...it was great, the kids got a big kick out of it.

 

[KristineN]

No...but he loved every moment of it!!

Did Bill get a picture of that?

It has been just wonderful so far!!

Kristine your pictures are making me want to stay at AKL again, I just love it there!

I did not order it....but I am pretty sure it is a turn down offering.
