AKL Concierge or WL Concierge?

[debster]

Which would you choose for your family and why.

We have 2 boys 7 & 5.

Just curious on opinions.

If your children love wild animals.. Animal Kingdom.. but if they like the woods, then Wilderness Lodge.

We love the Wilderness Lodge, it's a very relaxing place to stay off the beaten track and yet right in the middle of things.

Good Luck!

AKL Concierge is amazing!! The Lounge is spacious and very relaxing and has nice snacks and foods available throughout the day. I have stayed on the Concierge level here twice.
WL Concierge - I will have to get back with you in April We are trying their concierge level during DD's Spring Break. I have stayed once at WL before and it is a great resort. Looking forward to trying their Concierge level. I have heard really good things about their Cast Members and the food choices - good soups, hot cobblers, stews, etc. Check this link for info from the WL experts: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=658804 You cannot go wrong with either.
Good Luck! Concierge is THE way to go!!

AKL concierge is usually more expensive, but it much more elaborate--there is a nice lounge with lots of food/beverage offerings, plus you have access to special tours at AK.

WL concierge is nice, but it's much simpler - they don't have a lounge, just an alcove in the hallway (which I actually prefer) and I think their food offerings are less elaborate, though still very adequate.

Have done some of this at a few resorts, we're in our 50's but for little children, that small, for the money extra for this level I wouldn't do either. For what tikes eat, one meal split between them from the 24 hour resturant or just plain brought in with you snacks in the room are cheaper. You'll still want to dine out in various resturants so the saving on conceirge services is nil. Rooms are the same size as regular rooms, you're just on a separate floor with room key access. On a 6 to 10 night stay, its alot of extra money thats not spent to its best extent. Don't get me wrong, its nice for 2 adults but we don't use it every trip, when we munch there we skip alot of out favorite resturants and we kinda like the other dining at WDW and when you pay for conceige, its mostly the snacks your after. Having someone get my tickets or make reservation, I can do that myself from the room or from home before I go and its PS anyway, nothing guaranteed anymore, first come, first serve. Just weigh the differences in price for what you get, espically with little ones.
