Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Does anyone remember the Luckow Family? You know, the family who, among other things, rented out the Backyard BBQ and had a private concert with Luke Bryan? And that gigantic fireworks show on Bay Lake? Back in July, 2014? I have it on good authority that they're back in Disney World this week. Remember that new giant pumpkin that I posted a photo of yesterday? I never saw such fancy Halloween decorations at the Backyard BBQ. Well, this dude just posted a photo of a sign that's on display at the Backyard BBQ: Luckoween? What the Fort is Luckoween? We need a Fiend on the SceneTM . Stat! TCD BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 A-ha!! Good cyber-sleuthing TCD! I wonder what this year's bash will be? And you're right - we definitely need a Fiend on the Scene™. I just found the thread from their last shindig when you were there texting updates all night. Man that was fun, even from 1400 miles away! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KornBred 6 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 This is what led me to find and sign up for this forum as I have recently discovered the joys of staying at the Fort. On another board I am on, it was reported that a family of 48 had a lavish ceremony to welcome them to the Jambo House. There was a cover of sorts put on the opening between two floors because an entire floor had been bought for the family. This way no one can look up or down at the floor where they are staying. They also bought out Jiko the day they arrived. That's all I saw posted so far and any mentions or pics of them or their name was removed but we had it figured out that it was the Luckows. Maybe someone who is there can find out more. Avatab.... Steve, BradyBzLyn...Mo and Tri-Circle-D 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's a blog post from one of the adult kids that got engaged during that event... https://www.josephedwardsny.com/stefanie-and-adams-wedding-trailer-at-the-mandarin-oriental-hotel/1345 Oh and there were 46 of them last year. :) I'll be curious to hear any other reports from the weekend.

What the heck were they doing down there that nobody else could see? Hey, if you made your money honestly and you want to live it up, have at it! But, they're acting like they have something to be ashamed of. Hmmm. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and welcome to Fort Fiends!! Great find, Mo. What a nice simple engagement that young Luckow girl had- serenaded by a Broadway star and fireworks- nothing flashy or extravagant. Just simple folks having fun at Disney. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 I thought maybe these scarecrow dancers were brought in to entertain the Luckows: But, there are advertisement banners hanging up in the background, and I don't think the Luckows need any of their shindigs to be sponsored. So, this must have been for some other private party at the Fort. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KornBred 6 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Found more pics and a video of the family checking in and the ceremony for them. It was a large group and some CMs in African garb were on some riser above the lobby doing some kind of chant and song deal plus they put different décor in the hallways on the floor the family is staying on than is usually in the hallways. The number I saw thrown around this time by housekeeping staff according to the sources is 6 million. Just remember this is all second hand info though. Tri-Circle-D, BradyBzLyn...Mo and Avatab....

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks for sharing that video and the photos @KornBred I've never seen or heard of any kind of ceremony like that at AKL. I see there's a stylized "L" sticker on the crate in that hallway display. Luckow starts with "L." TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
