Hi! we are new owners at the AKV.
We will be staying 2 weeks in May 2014. After reading the boards for couple of weeks i have a few questions
1- I currently booked 2 weeks split out 1 week Standard view and 1 week Savannah view (at Kidani) on May 1. Are there better "standard view" rooms? I need a quiet room, my husband and i are both light sleepers and with 2 kids we need any little sleep we can get (I would normally ask for a room away from elevators and vending/ice machines in a "normal" hotel...) is this something i should/could ask for?
2- Is Kidani a better choice than Jambo? I am ok with going back and forth for food, but what about coffee and soft drinks (refill station)? do they have stands at Kidani? is there really nothing to eat at Kidani? what about a gift shop?
3- We are thinking of switching our Savannah view week to go to the Boardwalk (i fell in love with the boardwalk this April . was my first time visiting , and i have no idea why i never went before?!? Anyway, What is the Boarwalk Inn and Boardwalk Villa? we can only book at the Villa correct?
4- at the Boardwalk, we are thinking of staying in the stardard view Boardwalk/Preferred view. is it true it is noisy? (we are ok with noise until 11 pm, but nothing during the night and not early in the morning before 8).
5- I've read that the Boardwalk rooms are "old". I am very picky when it comes to cleanliness, and i expecting all rooms to be at Disney standards, but i've read the contrary about the Boardwalk (which surprises me because of how gorgeous it is from outside)
We used to stay at the ALl Star Sports hotel and used to stay in the preferred rooms, so we are used to the pool sound and are aware that it dies down at around 11 pm.
Any more info that any of you would like to share with me would be greatly appreciated as well. I feel a bit lost and confused which i hate because i thought i was an expert with Disney knowledge, but this new membership has got me confused
thanks everyone
