AK or Saratoga

[princess lovers mom]

We are getting a 2 bedroom villa- Choice of AK or Saratoga ....thoughts?

I'd go with a 2BR at Kidani. Extra bathroom can come in handy and I just prefer AKV overall. If you're going to spend much time at Disney Springs then SSR may make more sense for proximity.

Who's in your party? If kids, then AK all the way.

It depends on when you are going. AKV/L has very few food options right now. Hopefully AKL opens later this year and so do the restaurants. While SSR table service is still shut down, Disney Springs is right around the corner, with a ton of restaurants. SSR refurbishment is finishing up and the rooms are amazing. AKV has animals and an extra bathroom.

Agree and add as to timing: be aware that the Kidani pool is going to be shut down for a refurb from Jan to April in 2022.

Though I typically would have a high preference for AKV, I have two daughters that recently stayed at SSR, a 2BR and studio, standard view in the Paddock area. Everything was open except the main restaurant, and that includes everything in Disney Springs. The main comment I got was how much better the refurbed rooms are than what existed before.

If you have kids, definitely Kidani!

AK, it's such a unique resort.

My teenage Daughters (17 & 15) prefer SSR as they enjoy the freedom of going to DIsney springs on their own. When they were younger AKL would have won going away as that resort is cool
