Ok, I realize that I am speaking to a biased audience here, but AKL still remains on my radar for our July 2012 trip!!! First, my DH would LOVE to have a savannah view here...at one point we were booked club level here, but now we are at WL. I LOVE the location of WL, and everyone complains about the busses at AKL. My thing is...we've stayed at all of the ALL STARS and they are in the same area and we never had an issue with the transportation or travel times, so why would we at AKL. Do the busses come with the same frequency? Are they really packed to the gills with Kidani folk by the time it gets to Jambo?? We are doing 10 nights with our girls, who will be 8 and 5 for that trip...they do like animals!!! If we did the whole 10 nights, I will probably look to book that sunrise safari (if we end up booking CL). Please help!!! We have stayed at neither AKL or WL (never actually stayed at deluxe at all), so please give me all the things to love about AKL!!! Oh...and at one point there was a complaint about the amount of bees????? What's the 411 on that???
Let me start off by saying
We have stayed DVC at AKL Jambo house in about 7 different rooms and we have loved every minute of it.
Sometimes we have had minor issues with the buses but they have been no different from the issues we have had with buses while we stayed at BCV or BWV. So I don't have a problem with the buses. Yes they can be crowded but they can be to any resort at any given time.
As far as bees, i don't think I have every seen any so this one is new to me, I have been swarmed by the love bugs at BWV and BCV, but they attribute that to all the "White", seems the bugs are attracted to that.
The staff/CMs at AKL are amazing, CL is over the top, and the sunrise safari is truly a wonderful experience. Make sure you have your camera ready for that one, if you decide to go.
We have had some amazing views of the animals, they seem so close.
The pools, activities offered for the whole family and your food options could not be better.
I have never stayed at WL so I can't help with the compare, but we are a group that have enjoyed many resorts so just ask away others will jump in with comments and answers.
