Sorry everyone, I was offline for the weekend. For all of you who are now not sure about staying at the WL, please don't change your plans b/c of my review. It's not that I didn't like the WL, it's just that for me, personally, I preferred the AKL. As for bringing kids, I have never travelled with children to Disney, but I plan on bringing my daughter in a couple of years (she will be 3 when we go) and I will stay at the AKL with her, I think she will love seeing the animals. I do also plan on bringing her to the WL to eat at Whispering Canyon Cafe and taking a boat ride to Magic Kingdom. Laura pretty much covered the housekeeping issues so I won't add anything there. Again, this was just my experience.
