I am still writing all of my trip reports but I figured I would write a "Readers Digest" version here.
First, what a great resort! The theming here is spectacular. The animals are incredible to watch and enjoy. The staff is also top notch. The food offerings at the concierge lounge is excellent. We had a choice of barbecued shrimp and beef, veggie and beef wraps, a great continental breakfast and great snacks. The coffe was outstanding. That espresso machine is heaven sent!! If you plan on staying don't forget to ask for bottled water and soda to take to the parks. I read somewhere that this lodge didn't offer bottled water. It does you just have to ask for it.
If you have the opportunity, take advantage of the sunrise safari!
The transportation from this resort was very good! It would have been great if it wasn't 90 degrees and humid. Even a 5 minute wait was tough the first couple of days...we hadn't had enough time to adjust to the weather yet. Most of our waits were between 5-10 minutes. Longer leaving from the parks and returning to AKL if we decided to wait for a seat instead of standing and that was rare.
The hidden Mickeys hunt was great fun as was the story telling. Just relaxing at the fire pit was rewarding. The night vision goggles were also cool!
Boma!! Need I say more? Room service was very good and pretty reasonable for what you received.
Lots of other good things to say about AKL if you have any questions ask away!
