Ahahahaha Joe taking a picture of you taking a picture of the carpet is the BEST! He's definitely a keeper! (Love, Mom lol)
The only time I ever seem to want Chick-Fil-A is Sunday morning. I just want their Chick-N-Minis with some honey and a frozen lemonade. I rarely seem to want anything else from there at any other time.I'm planning to start a protest movement against Chik-fil-A. In spite of your apparent love for the chain, you may be interested in joining along. Hear me out.
While CFA's owners have had some pretty controversial stances, I feel the one that gets overlooked the most is their oppressive "closed on Sundays" policy. I can't even begin to count how many times we were in the mood for CFA, only to be shot down by this policy. Hungry for waffle fries? A chicken sandwich? Too bad. If it's Sunday, you just have to suffer. And they don't care, apparently.
This has to stop.
Anyway, great start to the trip and the TR! AKL Savannah-view always looked fun to me. And Lion King theming? That's the best Disney film EVER.
Looking forward to reading more!
The Who: that'd be me, Candace, and my fiance, Joe! Joe and I got engaged in Disney back in January during Wishes and I'm still reeling from it.
We also had a really sad task we had to accomplish this evening and that was to drop our pup off at his grandparents' house.
Great start to the TR!!
Just wanted to say, I'm joining in, can't wait to hear about your trip! And I'm from Michigan too! So heyyy....and GO GREEN! I'm sure you've seen/heard about last night's game?!
It was so awful the first fews days!! I had F&W planned for our 3rd day (10/1) and it was not pleasant Luckily we had a resort day the next day and then it started cooling down.
This is me. My boyfriend gladly lets me sit in the window seat while were on the ME to minimize him embarrassment #noshame. I actually started crying today in the train station because there was a guy playing "Down By the Riverside" on the saxophone, which we usually hear every time we are in the food court at POR. The PDD is real
That room is incredible
So excited to read more
I am excited to follow along! Where I live, in Michigan, we don't have Chick-Fil-A so I completely understand your excitement. We always get it when we head south and it is our first stop at the Orlando airport every time we go to WDW.
I can't imagine how hot it is in Florida in September, sounds miserable. Your room at AKL looks amazing! I can definitely see how ASSp would be a disappointment after that. We leave for our next trip in 8 days and are splitting between Pop and BWI, with Pop first.
Yay! You made it! Crying is totally allowed here upon arrival (and departure) of "home". I totally get the worry of your room overlooking the lobby; even if it wasn't possible the emotional roller coaster running through your head wasn't a fun one I know. Glad it all worked out great in the end. The key to the hear is to NEVER say it isn't too bad because then it gets 20 degrees hotter and 500% more humid.

The best and happiest of days!
...I always thought that too - thanks for clearing that up for me!
I always have the same experience at these "breakfasts"
Beautiful.
While watching your video, I started tearing up too, between your excitement and just seeing the sign....
Aw man, I wanna go back...
Awesome!!! I would love to stay CL one day - it has always sounds so cool. And that view is GORGEOUS!!!
You gotta do, what you gotta do!
Actually ... Magic Kingdom is the most magical place on Earth. Not all of WDW. It's a common mistake. One that even I make sometimes.
I think that was only three. There's room for a few more!
And you'll finally see the truth ... that a hero lies in you.
Sorry, I had to.
I'm too lazy to scroll back up and check this, but ... didn't you have Chick-fil-A for lunch? So I would have guessed AKL. Sorry, I guess you're a little predictable.
Yay! Savannah view!
Carpet pictures are always appropriate when there's a Mickey head in the carpet. Someone should tell Joe that fact.

I love AKL have only stayed at Kidani, but it was awesome, all three times. I loved it. Favorite? BLT, BCV,BWV, AKL,OKW, POR,POFQ... I could go on and on. Can't wait to read more.
We got a chick fil a 4 miles from my home about a year ago, I had to go opening day. I try to limit my trips there. Love your video
AKL!! IS!! AWESOME!!! The overall experience is amazing. I have never stayed on club level but I did have a balcony and it was the coolest thing to step out and see. I remember swimming in the main pool and all the animals were around the pool area. You could walk up to the fence and see them all. You are one lucky gal. Recently we stayed in the Port Orleans Riverside Hotel. It was pretty darn amazing and both my wife and I loved it. We both agree we'll go back. So I guess its a toss up for me. I don't care what hotel it is... I'll just be happy it is Disney.
Me too! What an amazing feeling right? But back in November 2013! We just got married this past August and spent the first part of our honeymoon at the World the beginning of September.
Worst feeling about going on a vacation EVER! But remember....Disney's calling!
HI Candace
I just finished reading your previous TR and really enjoyed it! So I'm hopping on over here to follow along. Can't wait to read more!
Kelly
Okay count me in for this TR!!!
I love the excitement for Chick-file-a!!! We just got our first one up here in Rhode Island last year and the line is still always out the door or 10-20 cars deep in the drive up. Its crazy but that food sure is delicious!
I'm extremely jealous of your CL experience so far, my wife and I tried to get CL at CR in May for our honeymoon but unfortunately we waited to long to make the decision and it got booked up :-(. I can't wait to see how the rest of your trip is going to be tho
My son got his first job working at Chick-Fil-A this summer. He loves working there. He still likes to eat there so he's not tired of it yet
LOL at your Chick Fil A post...I also LOVE it and that was the only solace I had when it was time to leave Disney because I knew I could eat Chick Fil A at the airport before our flight home lol Now that we have a Chick Fil A in my town (which is really weird because I live in CT and there are only 2 in the whole state) the I realized the airport one sucks!
I read your last trip report and loved it! Can't wait to read all about this one!
I thought August was the most unbearable month for humidity at WDW. The last time we were there in August there was record capacity crowds, the heat and humidity were so bad the sweat just pored off our bodies, pre fast pass days, with two and half hour wait times on most rides. My husband told me he would never come back (he did). Good times! Sorry to hear it was bad, but I'll take the heat over rain anyday.
My husband is an MSU grad, so there's a lot of "Go Green" at our house!
I'm a big Chick Fil A fan, too. The closest one to me is about twenty minutes away or I'd be there weekly. I swear they put crack in those sandwiches.
Pretty jealous of your club level room and awesome view!
Love it! Can't wait to read more!
Club level would be freaken AWESOME!! You have no idea how much I would love to do that. From your experience thus far it would be worth it. Its got to make you feel fancy for sure. Yeah, the wife and I are going to rent DVC points the next time we go for our sons first WDW trip. It should be epic!! I just wish the kid would start walking already so we can go... he's two months old and already refusing to listen to his dad. LOL!!Oh my gosh isn't it?! We were talking about renting DVC points for our next trip and trying another deluxe but Joe keeps saying "but...AKL." That balcony is truly one of the most amazing things. Club Level was so great too, you should try it sometime! That is so cool about the animals being around the pool area!! I wish I would have seen that. Although, then I REALLY would never try another resort.
You are just funny! Keep it up!!AKL'S SO FANCAY...YOU ALREADY KNOW. Don't stop reading - I'm sorry.
Interestingly enough, we just happened to see her as we were looking over the balcony in the Club Level lounge the next morning. She was in the lobby...in the same clothes. So...she may have stayed all night watching the animals or...met someone. You do you girl!
WHAT are Chick-N-Minis and why did I not know they exist?
If you are ever interested in staying Club Level, look into renting DCV points! AKL is the only resort with Club Level rooms that are designated for DVC members so if you decided to rent points that would be your only options but it is the BEST option! We ended up paying less than what you would for a moderate. We should have just stayed there the whole time!
I also just saw that See Ya Reel Soon is there for FIFTEEN days and I got even more depressed.
This is also where we thought (key word) they played the outdoor (other key word) movies that we were excited about.
they were "FREE"!
We decided to walk over to Kidani at this point. The walk was really nice and easy. We went straight back to the savannah area and immediately noticed how much quieter and calmer it was over here compared to Jambo House
She was in the lobby...in the same clothes
