AKL Construction ?'s

[Becky_Boop]

We're going to be staying at AKL for the first time Feb 8-14, standard savanna view.

Our travel agent is concerned about the construction going on right now, and how it might affect our stay. Does anyone have any info on how the construction on the Villas will be during our trip? Are there any places that are generally less noisy?

The rooms on the Kudu Trail facing the Sunset Savanna will be most affected by the construction of the new DVC Kidani Village. The rooms on the Zebra Trail facing the Uzima Savanna will be the farthest away.

Stay away from Sunset Savanna. I posted this in another thread asking the same question:

It was noisy for us. We were on the side of the savannah where our room faced the construction. We were woken up at 7am for 2 days with the beep-beep sound when the trucks back up along with other noises. We had originally wrote in to guest relations to ensure we would be placed in a room on the farthest side of the resort away from the construction. The CM that helped us totally ignored the notes on our reservation and put us right in front of it. I was livid and it was a rough 2 days trying to visit such a beautiful place with a 3 year old who hasn't had her full beauty rest.

We were in room 2257 http://www.wdwinfo.com/maps/DAKLMap.pdf and all the odd number room in that section had the misfortune of dealing with the noise. Others didn't mind it and it was only bothersome to us because our 3 year old was woken up by it. She loves big trucks and stuff like that, so she was up very early trying to see everything that was going on.

We weren't bothered by it last week. Our biggest concern was that we wouldn't see any animals because of it, but the animals seem to ignore it.
