    Fantasmic!

    I agree - not really worth it. We did Mama's - food was not great and seating was OK but I would have been fine with waiting on line. You could make an ADR and then watch the crowds that week to see if you need it. Above is correct - it should be a last resort. Just remember to cancel it if...

    Online check in?

    We did it in August for the first time. If you've been to Disney before and know the drill it does save time. If you have no special requests go for it. You will be in your room quicker... then in the parks quicker!! Enjoy

    Where to Saty at Animal Kingdom Kidani Village??

    We were in Kidani - Sunset for 6 days in August. Stunning! Our 2brdm villa was on the 6th floor all the way to the left. Far from the lobby but our elevator took us right down to the pool so it was an even exchange. Wonderful resort - lots of walking. We had a wonderful view of animals...

    Really starting to Stress about Crowd Levels!

    Cannot even describe how offensive that post is! Being a public school teacher here in Jersey and just getting power back on this weekend I have to comment on your post - no one should "take pleasure in someone else's pain" or consider themselves "in luck" if families cannot go on their...

    Back from 6 days at AKL - the end of August is no longer a secret

    In your room you will get a list of the animals you might see. We checked the list a lot and saw almost everything. Look for the hidden mickeys - we found quite a few :) Eat breakfast at Boma. It's very good and reasonable. Visit the Jambo pool if you are spending a day at the resort. You...

    Back from 6 days at AKL - the end of August is no longer a secret

    Pool is beautiful! Refill for mugs at the bar and food was good, movies at 9pm every nite, lots of pool games for kids. The staff was great and there were things to do for kids all day. The tables filled up around the pool but we always found lounge chairs. We did the pool every day from...

    Back from 6 days at AKL - the end of August is no longer a secret

    Bus ride never bothered me. Bus came to Kidani then went to Jambo and MK. 10 minutes tops. We always rent a car because we do Universal as well and we did drive to the other parks -the AAA Diamond parking pass rocks! AKL is lovely. We walked around Jambo and it was just as beautiful. Much...

    Back from 6 days at AKL - the end of August is no longer a secret

    Just got back from 6 days in a 2bdrm villa - AKL Kidani is stunning!! Just beautiful, lovely atmosphere... but really big. We were in the second to last bead on the left, fifth floor - really long walk to the lobby. On Tuesday we realized the Pumba elevator closest to us led right down to the...

    Just WDW or do you visit other parks?

    We started to visit Universal when our DDs were old enough ( 7 and 9 then). We actually stayed at the Hard Rock for a few days the first time and Royal Pacific last time. I do think it's easier to visit UO after WDW if you stay onsite because the 'no line - no wait' feature is amazing but will...

    Do you have anything that is JUST for Disney?

    My husband has his...(gasp) pack which is absolutely Disney only. It's actually not bad. I got it at Sports Authority about 12 years ago and it holds phones, disposable ponchos, sunblock, and a mini-fan - our other Dis only item.

    Beach Club Villas - Opinions

    BCVs are lovely... I was in one about 6 years ago and I was on the 1st floor and down 2 or 3 hallways. It didn't seem too far from the lobby at all. Bright, soft theme with lots of room in the 2bdrm. Go for it :)

    Best Friday Park??

    Thanks for the suggestions! I just got the undercover tourist app and it looks like we will be going to MK that day :) This is our fourth August trip and we do plan around Florida schools, etc... but this our first trip since 2007 and I know things have changed a bit. Everybody knows all...

    Disney's biggest mistake at WDW

    OK - JIYI?? Journey Into Your Imagination... what happened to it?? I would have to go with AK - not a a mistake but more of a ??? It seems incomplete. It needs more magic, more attractions, more Disney. I also think DS needs some attention. I thought they would add another coaster or...

    Surprising Kids?

    We surprised our kids twice - we go in August and I didn't want them to "wish the summer away" waiting for vacation. The first time I put the WDW vacation video on while they were getting dressed and as they began to watch and get excited I asked, "Do you think we should go?" They said yes so...

    WDW 2012 Fashion Critique For Men

    I have to go with the 'too short' shorts on men. If it looks like anything could slip out - throw them away!! I would say fannypacks as well but I do make the exception for a small one at amusement parks. My family burns in the shade and we do need to bring sunblock with us. (But my husband...

    Publix help please

    I cannot remember where the Publix is - when I go to the site there are several located around WDW. Can anyone tell me where the one is closest to AKL? We are coming from the airport and plan to stop... and for the life of me I cannot picture where Publix is. Thanx!!
