AugustChange me from 1 to 8 nights! I'm now doing a MYW package 8/18-26!! Cannot wait!!!!
Check out the club level thread! It's great! The table of contents on the first few pages should direct you. There are also great you tube videos. I'm a fan of AKL-CL and have visited many timesCan someone share pictures or describe in detail what they offer at the AKL club level? Do they offer anything for kids between 5-7pm like chicken nuggets or corn dogs? Do they have hot breakfast options like grits or oatmeal? How would you compare this CL (food wise) to others? Thanks!
I will be there mid january and will post pics then if still needed.Can someone share pictures or describe in detail what they offer at the AKL club level?

Thanks for an updated report. Interesting about the scooters - I've seen one or two in the hallways at AKL. At least the hallways at AKL are fairly wide. I've also spotted them in the long narrow windy hallways at BWV. I assume the scooters are parked in the hallways because people don't want them taking up space in their room/villa, or maybe they are too big to fit through the door, but I always wonder if it's a violation of fire regulations as hotel hallways are not supposed to have obstructions in them that would hamper evacuation.Just returned from AKL (11/28 - 12/2) with a few Honest Observations:...
5) Scooters. Just a silly observation, but we did notice that there were fewer kids and soooooo many more people in scooters at the parks and at the lodge. Because of my daughter's school schedule, we were able to go now, but I get that most kids are in school -- which accounts for fewer kids. However, there were scooters recharging all along the hallways in route to our room. It was a sight to behold.

We are staying at AKL for our first WDW trip in February with a 4 year old and 18 month old. Does anyone know the approx price of milk at the gift shop? The 18 month old needs it at bedtime and wake up still. Do they sell loaf bread there? We have looked at using Amazon but would rather get it there if feasible. Are the breakfast items at the Mara considered quick service or snack? We have a dining plan. Thanks everyone.
Sorry for taking so long to posts these! Here are some photo's I took from our trip back in October/Early November. We were on the 4th floor on the Sunset Savannah.

Help! We arrive on Saturday and I have read dozens of pages on this thread and cannot find too much information on building number or room numbers people would recommend. We have one Savannah View studio on Kidani village booked for 4 nights and would like to get a good view. We will be driving so don't need to worry about transport. We have paid to see the animals so need some advice on that. The walk to the pool/AK lodge for quick service is not as important but we don't want to be miles from anything. From what I've read we should ask for 3rd or 4th floor Sunset savannah view. What room did you stay in and would you recommend it?
Just returned from AKL (11/28 - 12/2) with a few Honest Observations:
3) WARNING! MY OPINION ONLY: I was glad I didn't pay extra for a Savanna view because I rarely saw animals from my room. Everyone wants to wake up to peer out their balcony and see at least one giraffe or zebra. In my experience, we never saw any of the larger animals before 8-9am. However, there would have been ample opportunity to view animals had we stayed past 10am. If you are a late sleeper, you can certainly wake up to animals. We were on a bus usually before 10am and only caught fleeting glimpses of animals grazing.
In the Johari Treasures ( small store off the lobby ). & also down near the pool as well.Where is the refill station located for the mugs in Kidani?
Just got back today from AKL-Jambo. So amazing. We were in room 3212 - standard, but a partial Savannah view with a bunk bed. We saw quite a few animals from there - giraffes, antelope, cranes, zebras. DD loved the bunk bed. We were super close to the lobby, which was great. There was a little bit of traffic noise in the hallway, but we travel with a white noise machine, so it didn't bother us.
We loved AKL. This was our first deluxe stay, and I would go back anytime! The bus rides seemed about the same as our stays at POR and CBR, but having only one bus stop at the resort was great.
We also stopped by a few other resorts during our trip - WL, GF, and Poly. While I would love Poly, there were monorail issues when we were heading over, and if I were staying there expecting to use it, I would probably be frustrated. GF is too formal and kind of smelked like grandma to us. WL is lovely - I would still like to stay there sometime... but we had such a great time at AKL!!
