Great news.....haven't been to AKL myself to stay but have a look here and I am sure someone will be along with more AKL info for you late.

Great choice you`ve made there! Ask for an Arusha Savannah room, though all Savannah rooms seem to have OK views.
Take time to relax and enjoy the resort, even at night time it`s a very magical place. Lastly eat at Jiko, arguably the best restaurant onsite.
Have a really great time.

We stayed at AKL for a few nights in 2003 and loved it

We had a great view of the savannah and saw giraffe feeding right below our balcony



ALso, take a look at the Boma and Jiko restaurants at the hotel - Boma is really good.

Hi David

Well, judging from the picture in your signature, you've got him hooked on Disney already, so getting him to return to WDW should be a cinch!

We stayed at AKL (Savannah view) when it was just a few months old and we've been back almost every trip since - either to Boma or Jiko. It's a very special resort and takes on an amazing ambiance in the evenings.

Hope you both have a great time - you've got plenty of time to pick up some great tips from these boards before you go.

yeah! he does enjoy disney (he tries to be manly and hide it though! but i remember his face the first time he saw whinnie the pooh!! hehe) we're looking forward to it it's been a LONG year so he deserves a holiday and it just happens to be at my favorite place in the world!!

David
who should be writing a report on usablity right now!

 

[jtlover]

I dont think anyone can say they didnt enjoy disneyworld when they have been! I am sure he will love it!

We are going to AKL in January/February - fingers crossed. I will post an honest opinion when I come back.

Though I have looked into transportion and have decided that I am going to get a car for the whole time and drive to the parks from AKL.

It is really exciting taking someone to DW for the first time when they have not been before - I am sure you will have a good time!

 

[Miffy2003]

We absolutely loved AKL when we stayed there in August this year David. We so enjoyed relaxing on the balcony and watching the animals

 

[Minniespal]

I took my other half for the first time earleir this year, I had the same concern, I wanted him to love it and want to go back. I started out with Disney in a more subtle way. We went to Universial and stayed onsite for the FOTL passes sohe didn't have to queue, he liked that. When we went to Disney the first day we did not go to the parks, but went to 'Ohana for a late dinner and I didn't tell him about wishes, just mentioned we might see some fireworks. Well, that blew him away!

The first part we did was MGM Stuidos and Fantasmic, which he also loved, and when wew went to the Magic kingdom I made sure I took him to the mid spot to look up at the castle and he was hooked. I took a slow introductio approach in case it was too much or too 'disney hardcore'.

It worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi David,
We stayed at AKL June 05 we splashed out on a concierge room all I can is fantastic.
To wake up and look out on the animals was an experience not to be missed.

you will love it.
