AKL Daybeds - in every king bedded room?

[ukdisneyphile85]

Hi all! This is my first post on disboards but I've been excitedly reading about anything an everything on this great forum in the run up to our trip staying in Animal Kingdom lodge this September. Am super excited. Friends think it weird that me and my partner (both 25) are going to WDW - we don't care!

We've got a standard view AKL room and have a friend staying with us for two nights. My question is do all king bed rooms have a daybed or do we have to pay/special request/politely ask for one? Most sites refer to it as 'king bed (available with daybed)'. One site has got pictures of two room layouts, one king room with daybed (they call it a deluxe room) and one without (referred to as standard).

Can anyone enlighten us?

Thanks very much in advance!

18 days til wdw and counting...

maybe standard meaning in a standard view room

we had the daybed with our king in a pool view room.

Yes the standard view rooms with a King sized bed come with a daybed. Hopefully you'll get upgraded from standard view to Savannah view room since it's Value season and one of the slower times at the resorts. You may want to "hint" if one is available when checking-in. I've gotten a free upgrade 100% of the time when going during Value season.

Thanks for your advice - very helpful! Let's hope the room allocators sprinkle us with pixiedust!
