AKL only has one condo association. Think of it as one resort with two buildings. Owners of any AKL contract should be able to book Kidani or Jambo at the 11 month window. I would contact member services if the website is telling you otherwise!
This is correct. We own at Kidani and Jambo and can use the points interchangeably at either as if they were at the same building.
I thought so. I have been doing a bit of research because I am thinking of getting a small contract either at AKL or the Poly. Or nowhere.

More bang for your buck at AKL.

We split it and it was so good!
We still had our drinks from Sunshine day bar but ordered a couple fountain drinks because it was pretty hot out and we were trying to stay hydrated. We downed a couple diet sodas then refilled our cups halfway with lemonade and added the rest of our Cherry Blossoms to the cup. So so good!
We were going to watch the muppets but could not bring our drinks in. We sat outside in the shade and tried to drink but we could not down them as we were full from lunch and hydrating.

This guy was parked next to us😂

Finally I had an idea. I dumped the popcorn and cleaned my popcorn bucket which now become a drink holder.

I poured both drinks in and put the empty cups in my backpack. *Disney Life hack alert*

After the muppets we repoured our drinks and sipped away as we headed to Oga’s.

Then it was almost time for our SDD LL. People say you can tap in 5 minutes early. People lie. The CM asked us to step aside and wait. Which we did without complaint, in the sun, the blaring sun. After about 90 seconds she couldn’t stand to look at us sweating anymore and ordered us into the line and under the canopy. She called it pixie dust. I called it 180 seconds early.

Picture fail.

It was now 1:30. I really wanted to visit Baseline but instead I suggested we take the Skyliner to Epcot so we could be there at 2:00. The GotG VQ was still open and I was hoping to snag us a BG.

Not pictured, huge storm clouds rolling in.
Oh no, not again…
Seal of approval! Haha given that beer is one of our most known products in Belgium, we kinda need to make sure that it’s also properly served in a glass!

I feel a bit honoured that I can give that quality control check given that @lostpro9het and @wdisney9000 are much muchhhh better at this :D

Hey! I'm a Mark from Wisconsin... not the famous one from SSR, sadly.

My little bro and I visited the World in November 2020 to celebrate Dad's 80th bday. Unfortunately, he stayed home cuz he didn't want to wear a mask at all times in the parks, so we went without him. It was our first time there just the 2 of us. He said he'd never eaten so much on a trip and I mentioned that I'd never drank so much...

People thought we looked like twins from our first pic of the trip.

Enjoying your trip, thanks for the report!
Well, you do kinda look like twins in this photo. But masks, smh, everyone looks the same. I do love that you two went without your Dad on your Dad’s trip. That is pretty classic😂

The bartender told me the glass was designed to continuously give the beer (a) head. 😂 I swear that is what she said. Don’t report me.

After Frozen we headed to our Soarin’ LL.
IMG_9194.jpeg

I also got another LL for Spaceship earth but we never used it. We ate and drank instead👍
Then we walked to our Guardians ILL 🤢
and passed Daisy and Donald on our way there.
IMG_9195.jpeg

We made it…
IMG_9196.jpeg

Wow, the VQ line was long. And it was not moving. As in, people were sitting on the floor. The ILL🤢 line moved right along though.
IMG_9197.jpeg

When we got to the loading zone one side was down. I guess that is why the long VQ line. (Protein spill?)
IMG_9198.jpeg

I had avoided spoilers as much as possible and I was so happy I did. So fun!
IMG_9332.jpeg

Another failed photo. I don’t care! We had Tears for Fears Everybody wants to rule the World.
I LOVED IT!!! New favorite ride. And the song was perfect. In fact, I could not picture the ride with any other song.

Then we grabbed a snack at Jardin de Fiestas
IMG_9199.jpeg

Quesadilla de Flor de Calabaza: House-made masa tortillas with squash blossoms, bacon, onion, zucchini, and cheese

It was rather bland. Not a winner.

Next was..

Lotus House
Pan-fried Vegetable Dumplings
Very small and not amazing. The beer however, the cherry blossom pilsner was really good. But it doesn’t tell me a brand. Unless the brand is Cherry Blossom?
Anyone know? Come on beer people! Let’s hear it!!!

I visited C in April and we got to ride with a VQ. The song we got was I Ran by Flock of Seagulls. I LOVED it. I got off and thought the exact same thing... there is no way any of the other songs could compare. I'm still sticking to my assessment. My ride had to be better than yours. 😆 Even though I'd belt out Tears for Fears or Blondie, Flock of Seagulls I Ran is the best for Cosmic Rewind. Although C says September is the best. What does she know...

You are wrong and so is C…
Tears for Fears is the best.

I may be getting ahead of your report, but did you (or anyone reading this) try the dragon fruit sake cocktail in Japan? I'm a big fan of dragon fruit, but don't want to waste the time (and beer money) if it's not that great. I can't wait to ride Guardians for the first time, but I'm already voting for Tears for Fears!

30 minutes to the first show and we were still hungry. Sis wanted Gumbo. Yes please. She got on line for that and I got on line for drinks.
IMG_9202.jpeg

Moonshine Sour (Ole Smoky Blackberry Moonshine, Blood Orange, Blackberry, Lemon) – $14.00​

I read recently that this is the best selling drink in Epcot. I dont know if I believe that but it is dang good!!

We kept an eye on the weather
IMG_9203.png

and sat back and enjoyed the 5:30 show, which was awesome…

IMG_9204.jpeg

My sister turned to me and said, “I’m healed! I can walk!”😂


IMG_9205.jpeg

Doesnt look like rain does it?

Let’s go Dodgers!
IMG_9210.jpeg


I saw this guy later in passing and I quietly did my “let’s go Dodgers” chant and he answered back with, “it’s Jackie Robinson day!” Which it was.
