Has anyone ever been this? We were on Wednesday and I can not tell you what we experienced. I am not sure if this happens to everyone but we were upgraded to the Royal Asante Suite or the Presidents suite, biggest room on the AKL property. Holy cow this room is bigger then our house. It was so much fun and a great way to end our vacation!

What an absolutely wonderful experience for you and your family! I have not honestly heard of "Family of the Day" at AKL, but it sure sounds like you were treated to some incredible pixie dust. Thanks for sharing! :mickey: :thumbsup:

Congratulations!
The "Disney Magic" that made their reputation still lives.
So much of what made Disney, "Disney" was all of the small and (in this case) large surprises that often happened when there.
The talking trash can... the talking water fountain... the sparkling walkways...... all the little details. Cast members giving you that little unexpected extra...even when it was not really much of anything. The "Happy Anniversary" or "Happy Birthday" comments. The phone calls from Mickey and Minnie. Something at your meal that you did not order or expect. And so on.
best,

That's outstanding. I'd never heard of this. But then again...we've never stayed at AKL, either!

We have been family of the day at Beach Club. They gave us a balloon bouquet with huge candy bars tied to it. They gave us a free upgrade from standard room to concierge for the 5 days. It was awesome.
