21:07:52 [WillCAD] Hi Sheryl
21:09:42 [WillCAD] I wonder if it will be just the two of us in here tonight.
21:10:33 [WillCAD] Been a lot of chats with no-shows lately.
21:11:37 [WillCAD] Hi Ddoll
21:11:39 [ddoll] hi Sheryl, hi Will
21:12:07 [ddoll] is there a scheduled chat tonight?
21:12:51 [WillCAD] Yup. "Firmly Lodged: WL vs. AKL"
21:12:59 [ddoll] cool
21:13:25 [ddoll] where did Sheryl go? Are you scaring all the girls away Will?
21:14:02 [ddoll] oops! there she goes
21:14:25 [ddoll] have you ever stayed in either of those resorts?
21:14:34 [WillCAD] She said she had some trouble getting in, maybe she locked up.
21:14:55 [ddoll] yeah. I saw that
21:15:09 [WillCAD] No, never stayed at either but visited both many tmes.
21:15:30 [ddoll] hi Sheryl. WB
21:15:39 [Sheryl] ounce, I must ahve bounced out...hello again Will and Debi
21:15:48 [WillCAD] WB Sheryl
21:15:58 [ddoll] we stayed at WL last year. Had the chance to get an AP rate at AKL, but turned it down in favor of WL
21:16:23 [Sheryl] Did you like Wl Debi?
21:16:55 [ddoll] yes. It was very nice. It was a shame that it wasn't warm enought to really enjoy th epool though
21:16:59 [WillCAD] I would love to stay at either, but I prefer AKL.
21:17:24 [ddoll] I did notice that the rooms are considerably smaller at AKL
21:17:29 [Sheryl] We love both resorts, but I find the CM's at WL to be much nicer
21:17:50 [ddoll] phone
21:17:55 [Sheryl] Will, if I ever win teh lottery, I'll send you to AKL for a week...how's that
21:18:38 [Sheryl] As far as the no shows for chat, I think it is jsut a really busy time for most
21:18:59 [WillCAD] I haven't had much interaction with the CMs at either resort. I tend to wander around taking pictures or grab a snack at Roaring Forks.
21:19:38 [Sheryl] Hello Jan
21:19:54 [justjan] Hi Everyone
21:19:59 [Sheryl] I will say both resorts are gorgeous!
21:20:20 [WillCAD] Welcome Jan
21:20:50 [WillCAD] Tonight's topic is: "Firmly Lodged - WL vs. AKL"
21:20:53 [Sheryl] But Wl is my favorite, there is something so warm about that resort that makes it feel so right...corny I know
21:21:22 [justjan] I like AKL a lot but I truly love WL
21:21:56 [Sheryl] Me too Jan
21:22:07 [WillCAD] WL is a little smaller, has a more intimate feel to it.
21:22:11 [Sheryl] And I am NOT an outdoorsy type of person at all
21:22:55 [justjan] I thought that the kids would "love" seeing the animals but it wore off quickly - I think I liked that better then they did but WL is just so intimate
21:23:22 [justjan] We did like the stories at the firepit at AKL though - very nice touch
21:23:39 [WillCAD] I like the granduer and majesty of AKL, especially that giant glass wall in the main lobby.
21:23:46 [Sheryl] I agree, but ahve to admit the decor of the rooms at the AKL is awesome
21:24:44 [justjan] I think AKL is much more beautiful - and more like being on vacation at a different place. WL is like home
21:25:08 [WillCAD] I caught part of one of those firepit stories in December. Very relaxing and interesting.
21:25:10 [ddoll] back. sorry
21:25:38 [Sheryl] I like the sounds and smells at AKL too
21:25:43 [WillCAD] I believe they have a storytelling event at WL too, around the giant fireplace.
21:25:50 [ddoll] one reason why we opted for the WL was that the AKL was more out of the way. There are the boats to MK from WL
21:26:11 [Sheryl] you know we've never done any of the story times at either
21:26:33 [WillCAD] AKLs location is the only thing about it that I don't like.
21:26:49 [Sheryl] and ddoll, that is a good reason
21:27:04 [justjan] We missed those at WL - we also never saw the Electrical Water pageant and that is a reason that I convinced everyone we should stay there...lol
21:27:46 [ddoll] we missed that too justjan
21:28:05 [Sheryl] We tend to swim late at night, and that is how we usually end our evenings...love the hot tubs
21:28:20 [ddoll] gotta go guys.
21:28:27 [ddoll] talk to yu later
21:28:35 [ddoll] bye now
21:28:37 [Sheryl] nite debi
21:29:03 [WillCAD] In all my 13 trips to Nite Debi
21:29:27 [WillCAD] In all my 13 trips to WDW I have only seen the EWP once.
21:29:57 [Sheryl] I think it's cute, but once you've saeen it...well you've seen it
21:29:58 [justjan] It is so funny how we "plan" to do so many things and then the time just flies
21:30:05 [Sheryl] Hello Disneylove
21:30:23 [disneylove] hi everyone
21:30:51 [WillCAD] Hi DL
21:30:54 [Sheryl] Jan, I can rembmer our first trip, we came home completely exhausted
21:31:12 [WillCAD] That's why I never plan anything. I just go with the flow.
21:31:20 [Sheryl] and did not fit everything in, we still ahven't
21:31:27 [justjan] Same here Sheryl - we try not to make that mistake when we go now
21:31:40 [Sheryl] we plan a few meals, but then go with the flow for the rest
21:31:55 [justjan] You are smart Will - we try to do that with very few planned things and do what we feel like
21:31:59 [Sheryl] have any trips planned in the future disneylove?
21:32:16 [disneylove] that's the way to go will,this way you don't stress out if something happens
21:32:19 [justjan] But when you go with a group - it is hard to get them to go along
21:32:43 [disneylove] yes Dec 18-Jan 2....soooo far away
21:32:47 [WillCAD] Disneylover tonight's topic is "Firmly Lodged - WL vs. AKL"
21:33:03 [disneylove] AKL!
21:33:15 [WillCAD] Have you ever stayed at either Lodge?
21:33:30 [Sheryl] very nice a christmas trip
21:33:38 [disneylove] yes 2002 christmas was at AKL
21:33:44 [justjan] and new years
21:34:09 [disneylove] lord knows it's a needed trip
21:34:29 [Sheryl] will you be staying at AKL again?
21:34:40 [disneylove] AKL was great just too big
21:34:51 [disneylove] no the Poly this time
21:35:06 [Sheryl] nice we will be staying there in january also
21:35:25 [disneylove] unless we can get a great code for concerige again
21:35:50 [Sheryl] I agree the Akl hallways go on forever
21:36:25 [disneylove] poly has the day bed AKL doesn't can be a problem with teens
21:36:49 [WillCAD] Maybe Disney will install a monorail at AKL so people can skip the long hallways. 
21:37:01 [Sheryl] how'd you get a great code for AKL concierge...I'd love that
21:37:12 [disneylove] LOL will,great idea
21:37:15 [Sheryl] I like that idea Will
21:37:43 [WillCAD] WL is much more contained, easier to navigate.
21:38:04 [disneylove] mousesavers..we had booked a standres room codes came out with a LOWER rate then that no brainer.Saved money and stayed an extra day
21:38:25 [Sheryl] We've always been lucky to ahve a room, over the lobby or near the lobby at WL, which is nice
21:38:54 [Sheryl] nice
21:39:24 [disneylove] hope disney does it again
21:40:06 [disneylove] does WL have a day bed in any room or just the bed(s) and bunks
21:40:23 [WillCAD] Disney's been a little stingy with the codes the last few years.
21:40:56 [Sheryl] As far as I know, there is no day bed in the regular rooms, but the suites fit more
21:41:09 [WillCAD] But when AKL first opened, that first year they had the best code rates of any WDW resort.
21:41:16 [Sheryl] We've always ahd the bed and bunks for the boys
21:41:50 [disneylove] even without the codes I think prices aren't that bad unless it's holiday time
21:42:03 [Sheryl] I cna remember getting a postcard to book the AKl when it first opened..but can't remember teh rate
21:42:34 [disneylove] sigh then WL will have to wait till kids leave home
21:42:36 [Sheryl] our first time at AKl we got $119 for stnadard
21:42:54 [disneylove] sweet
21:43:49 [WillCAD] I remember AKL being $129 std, $149 savanah.
21:43:55 [Sheryl] I was thrilled because we had POFQ booked for $134, and AKL was cheaper
21:44:26 [Sheryl] that same trip Nov 2001 we got ASSP for $49 a night
21:44:36 [disneylove] cool sheryl
21:45:15 [disneylove] wouldn't mind an AS but beds too small
21:45:40 [Sheryl] You know will is right it was $129
21:46:24 [WillCAD] Sept 2001 I also got ASMU for $49
21:46:35 [disneylove] did any of you do the tour of AKL
21:47:10 [Sheryl] no we di not spend much time at the resort, both times we stayed unfortunately
21:47:33 [WillCAD] I tend to be on too tight a budget to stay at the Lodges, even with codes.
21:47:39 [Sheryl] You can't beat those codes for All Stars
21:48:25 [Sheryl] two weeks ago our room at Hershey was $89.99 a night for Hershey
21:48:40 [disneylove] WOW what a great rate
21:49:06 [WillCAD] But one day I hope to be independently wealthy so I can stay at the fancy places.
21:49:14 [disneylove] wouldn't you love to see that for the Poly
21:49:20 [disneylove] ROFLOL
21:49:21 [Sheryl] I ahve faith in you Will
21:49:51 [Sheryl] hat would be awesome
21:49:55 [WillCAD] I'm almost there, I just have to invent something that every person in America will want to buy for $1.
21:50:13 [Sheryl] What if you split the room with a friend Will?
21:50:48 [Sheryl] If you could get WL for $119 on a code, that isn'
21:50:50 [Sheryl] to bad
21:51:00 [Sheryl] especially if you split that
21:51:38 [WillCAD] I am sharing with a friend in October, but we're staying at PC.
21:52:17 [Sheryl] Well, I hope you get a good code, then it will be even cheaper for you
21:52:46 [Sheryl] Or an AP rate
21:52:50 [disneylove] hmmm Oct codes should be out soon right
21:52:51 [WillCAD] I'm hoping to get an AP rate for $59
21:53:02 [disneylove] gotta love those APs
21:54:10 [Sheryl] I rally love the CSR too, YMJ got us tht last eyar for $72 a night
21:55:20 [Sheryl] Well, I better get going, I need to do a few things before it get some sleep
21:55:34 [Sheryl] Thanks Will, night disneylove
21:55:56 [WillCAD] Well, one day I will splurge and stay at AKL.
21:56:05 [disneylove] last fall we got PO-R for $80 but they put us in the boonies
21:56:20 [WillCAD] Night Sheryl
21:56:26 [disneylove] you will loke it will
21:56:31 [disneylove] like
21:57:11 [disneylove] night will
21:57:26 [WillCAD] I can probably stay there one or two nights instead of an entire trip.
21:57:47 [WillCAD] Well, seeing as how I'm alone, I guess that means the chat is over.
21:58:02 [WillCAD] Live the Magic!
