AKL Concierge... what are the perks?

[snowiit]

Can someone fill me in on just what the concierge perks are for staying at a concierge "room/villa" at AKL?

Hoping to stay there someday and wanting to understand just what makes it "concierge".
Thanks so much all!

From the top of my head ...

* Breakfast
* Mid-day snacks
* Evening appetizers with complementary beer and wine
* Evening desserts with after dinner drinks
* Daily mousekeeping
* Turndown service
* Use of Concierge staff to make advance ADRs
* Ability to book Morning Safari only available to concierge guests

We are staying Concierge in November and what Robinb states in her post is accurate as far as I remember, with the addition of being able to reserve the evening safari and dinner afterwards as well. You also check in directly with the Concierge desk rather than the front desk (saves a little time maybe). I will post a trip report when we return.

We have just returned, if you are staying Concierge the Waymana Safari is $210.00 for AKL guest but $160.00 for Concierge. I asked if there was a DVC member discount, the answer was NO. This includes Dinner at Jikos, which is wonderful. There was a 2 month old Giraffe, I just loved being on the Savanna. We did get a Savanna view Studio, I had requested one, I have to say, there was not much to the view. We had room 6201, right next to Concierge, the food was from 6:30 am -10:00 PM, it changed through out the day. We made meals from some of it.
The daily mousekeeping was wonderful and I have to say, perfect! No complaints here. She was wonderful and friendly. When we left, Bell services came up and gave us waters with a speech about how you never leave for travels without anything to drink, then the bag had our name on it. Extra attention to everything.
At the Sunrise Safari, our table had our name on it. The animals in the morning were so alert, we saw things we had never seen before. The breakfast was Awesome. My husband enjoyed this one the best. I loved receiving my schedule all printed out for me with my confirmation numbers on it. We just had a perfect trip. I am truly spoiled. I sure hope to book Concierge again.
There was a variety of juices, soft drinks, hot and cold cereals, fruits, the hot and cold appetizers in the evenings changed daily. The soup changed daily. Deserts were good. Some nights, I would take a plate back to the room for the next night, if I knew we were going to be out late. We were right next to the food. This really was nice.
