Note to self: if visiting in September, book a resort with an indoor, accessible lobby. We experienced Charley, and staying at Jambo made all the difference.

Lobby is full here at AKL with activities. People in the gift shop. Boma starting lunch and dinner soon (same price but half off). The Mara going strong. All the cast members are great and the guests seems to be in a positive vibe. And even with the curfew everything is staying open (I guess it's a driving curfew). Kids are in the hallway doing handstands and singing I Just Can't Wait to Be King.

This has got to easily be one of the best places in Orlando to spend a hurricane.

Have you guys managed to get over to Kidani at all? I know some people mentioned that Disney is still allowing travel between both until curfew hits.

Nah I haven't. I had lunch there yesterday. I did The Mara for lunch and will probably do Boma for dinner.

I have no dogs with me, but I've dealt with two dogs indoors during an ice/snow storm. I used doggie p pads (or people underpads) in the bathroom on a tile floor. No damage to the floors if one is diligent about replacing the pads as needed.

Our dog Jeter (a Frenchie) was trained by the breeder to use a litter box , then we transitioned him to those pads but now that he goes outside he would not go on a pad. We tried last year after a two foot snow storm and he refused.

Definitely worse things you could do during a hurricane.

Mine is the same way. Most dogs won't use a pad if they are trained to go outdoors. It sure would be nice to have pads as an option though.

Just got done stuffing my face at the.boardwalk. Very good for 15 dollars
Definitely not like boma. But for 15 dollars plus tax worth every penny.

Did I read that Jiko is still open too? And the lounge?

I believe Jiko is open, yes. The menu may be different from normal, however.

@Tonyz can probably let us know more if he's able. I'm unfortunately not there.

Since there are no characters, Cape May buffet was only $20 per person and they took the 20% passholder discount! Very reasonable. WTG Beach Club!

Ventured over to Animation Hall here at AoA a bit ago to peruse the gift shop and work out some kinks on our extended reservation. It wasn't showing on MDE, but they got us linked and we're good to go now. Our extension was just on a different reservation number, but they assured us we will stay in the same room. It's linked and showing up now. Saw a pretty big crowd in the food court, shop, and lobby, probably because it was prime lunch time. CMs were leading a dance party type deal in the lobby for kids.

I Have a Shepherd mix and I would still need to take him out. There is no way he would go inside of a building.
The other day on Facebook, I saw where someone made a doggy potty to put in their garage during the storm. It was a plastic kiddie pool with sod in it. That's brilliant!!!! That would even work up north in the winter for dogs who don't like snow. So simple, easy & cheap!!

Jiko is not open but is being used as additional seating for Boma.

Just ate at Saana. Modified menu but still really good. Had grilled shrimp and Mahi Mahi over rice with a green curry. And two orders of the bread trio a modified version of the bread service.

There's a dog parade currently going on at the GF.

Cause ya know, why not?

 

[maxaroni]

Following along as DS24 & his GF made a hard decision and cancelled their trip this week. They were to arrive yesterday, with lots of disappointement they changed their plans. My question is, is all food OOP, despite having the DP?

I hope you all stay safe.

Just had a quick swim at the Hippy Dippy pool at Pop Century before the lifeguards blew the whistle and said the pool is now closed. Food court is open til 3 here.
