Joining in on the fun, these reviews are great!!
Welcome Home
We had just finished lunch at satuli where I last left off. I was starting to hit a wall and was anxious to check out our room. We agreed to meet up with our step family later for dinner
Although we have stayed at AKL before, this was our first time at Jambo.
Our room wasn’t ready yet even though it was 4 pm? So, we went outside to checkout the animals.
personally, I prefer Kidani over Jambo, Not many animals were out compared to the other savannah.
CMs were setting up a fire for smores. The marshmallows were free, but you had to pay for the kit. This was a fun and unexpected treat! The CM mentioned that all Deluxe resorts do this daily.
We finally got a text at 5 PM that our room was ready.
Room #5428 DVC standard view
We LOVE AKL. If i ever became a DVC member, Kidani would have to be my home resort. Everything about it is magical.
We rested for a bit then headed back to AKL.
I had a bright idea of riding Everest before dinner since the wait times were low. Like most of my ideas, this was a horrible one. I recently developed motion sickness and sitting in the last row while going backwards triggered it. There was no way I would be able to eat so we squashed Yak and Yeti.
We watched the Harambe Village acrobats for a bit, very entertaining.
And made our way to Pandora. what a beauty!
AK was nearing closing time but the night was still young. The boys wanted to go to springs while us girls wanted to go to MK. we split up and headed for the kingdom.
For Dinner we stopped at Cosmic Rays. I thought maybe getting a bite to eat would make me feel better.
8 piece chicken nuggets $9.99
Disney has the best nuggets, But Even magical nuggets didn't help. I said my goodbyes and went back to the room to rest. I was upset i couldn't spend all night at the kingdom but I had to listen to my body.
Kamal had Wolf gang express for dinner.
Spaghetti & Chicken Meatballs
Torn Basil and Parmesan $16.00
This is his favorite dish from WPE. Simple yet hearty.
TOTAL: $25.99
We each received (2) $100 GCs and 6 any time Fastpasses. SCORE!
Décor: 10/10
Food: 0/10

We had a nice but pushy waitress. She kept trying to scoot our chairs together and would wink every time she would come by. I’m a “bigger” girl, it takes a lot to scoot my chair. By the third time, I told her we were siblings and not “together”. Poor thing was embarrassed but we assured her it was fine.
Ah I'm so glad you went here and wrote a review. I've been hearing a lot of buzz about this new place, but haven't seen many reviews on it. With your stellar review I'm definitely going to have to check this place out. There are very few places for adults to go at Disney that is adult only, so it's nice they do that here after 10pm.
(2) coconut, (1) German and (1) black & white.
That's so awesome! It's always nice when something surprising like that happens. And when it was that cold out, being inside a nice warm car is the best way to get back to your hotel.We made a run for the buses, it was freezing! while running, a CM told us to stop running and that he had a surprise for us.
He was training to be a Minnie van driver and offered to take us to AKL for free.
AHHH pixie dust!
Thanks for the dining reviews. Coming from someone studying in the culinary arts lends some gravitas to the reviews.
We are planning a Dec 2018 trip with my family of 4 and want to check out some new places we have never been like the Sci Fi and Edison. Can’t wait
Joining in on the fun, these reviews are great!!
I'm loving your review! Can't wait for more!
I have been on the fence about the Edison. Your report makes me want to go. What kind of music did the band play? jazz? R&B?
I agree, I loved Kidani better than Jambo. The animals I saw out from my balcony at Kidani were amazing. Yes, the longest wait to check in to a room on all of our trips was longest at Animal Kingdom too.
Wolfgang Puck Express looks fantastic - will be putting it on my bucket list!
Have only seen the Star Wars fireworks from our balcony at BWI Villas (facing HS view)
Following along!
Wow it sounds like you had a pretty speedy and nice tour, I'm definitely considering doing one now.
I bet she felt so awkward about that.
thanks so much for posting a menu for The Edison.
Disney Springs crawl since it's my 23 year old son and I with a visit to the lounge at Homecomin', Boathouse and Edison for a cocktail and shared appy at each.
21 FP! That has to be a record
