Hey everyone. I am in the same boat regarding AKL. I wrote on another forum and so many people were so negative toward me because AKL were offering the use of another pool. My frustrations like with their lack of compassion towards how this impacts people’s plans and time manage, the luxury of flicking from room to pool on chill days and taking alcoholic drinks on to your balcony. Not only that but noise pollution is a guarantee and so is the fact it will be an eye sore. I don’t think it’s fair that we are now not getting something we’ve already paid for??? changing resorts in an option with an extra cost but always means plans will have to be changed slightly. So gutted!! I’ve been left dumbfounded by Disney’s attitude towards the whole situation!
I am pretty sure I saw your post on the Money Saving Expert forum? I saw those horrible comments, (first world problems n all that) but I was not able to reply or log in for some reason. I wanted to give those people a piece of my mind!
I will be there mid September and I am super p****!
We have a standard room booked, and no doubt this will be over looking construction. How can we possibly sit on our balcony and enjoy the view / with everything going on, not to mention dust, noise. Not a relaxing holiday at all. We have no specific room booked, just a standard. So I don't know if I want to take that chance and end up in a horrible location on arrival.
The email states that they are making the pool at Kidani available and putting on mini bus, but they already do that anyway! They are doing nothing to sweeten their customers whatsoever.
I don't know if I want to go anymore. We are going to sit down this weekend and make a list of alternatives and weigh up the pro's and cons of staying / cancelling and rebooking something else. I'm afraid of losing our £200 deposit. The thought of Disney keeping £200 of my money for something that is not my fault is sickening quite frankly.
I want relaxation! I do not want to have to wait on a mini bus every time I want to use the pool, and wait on a mini bus back to the room if I forget something. Nothing relaxing about all that hassle.
If Disney were to move me over to Kidani village and guarantee a room beside the pool I would go 100%, but right now its a no. I did not pay for this! There is nothing deluxe or luxury about this mess! Disneys attitude sucks
