AKL Grand Villa DETAILED PHOTOS!

[senator74]

We stayed in a GV for 3 nights in January. Must say, all 4 kids absolutely loved it. Playing pool, having their own beds and separate bathrooms (2 boys, 2 girls), and the flat screen in the master bath was great while getting ready in the morning. Not sure about the strange noises that were coming from the master bathroom in the middle of the night.

We enjoyed it so much that we are splitting our stay again in August between a 2 bdr at BCV for 3 nights and GV at AKV for 2 nights. (Did a little borrowing of points to make that happen)

I do have a lot of pictures from inside the villa. If I can figure out how to upload them I will do so.

With the pool table and the size of the grand villa you could definately hold one heck of a party in there. You could leave the Animal Kingdom theme park and bring 20 of your best friends with you and have one heck of an evening!

Hey! Pass the margarita mix!

Wow. I think that GV is bigger than my house. I want to stay there.

 

[Wedgeh]

Wow, just wow! Those pics are amazing, thanks. If it wouldn't blow all my points in one night, I'd love to stay there

Wow. I think that GV is bigger than my house. I want to stay there.

Its like 2300+ Sq Ft. So... it IS bigger than my house.
...a week from tomorrow, I will be there!

So, they have a master bedroom with a king bed, a "mini suite" with two queen beds, and a 3rd bedroom with two queen beds? I'm trying to get a sense of how many people we could have if my daughters wanted to invite friends and we didn't want to use the pullout sleeper sofa. Also, does the living room have one of those sleeper chairs?

Very nice. Maybe in the future I can convince myself to bank a year and borrow a year and stay there.

There is a master bedroom that sleeps 2.
There are two bedrooms that sleep 4 each.

So, thats 10 people total in the three bedrooms.

There is a sleeper sofa that sleeps 2.

And... I -think- that there is one of the sleeper chairs available as well.
Hope that helps.

Holy cow - there really is a pool table in the GV! Thanks so much for sharing the pictures!

Oh, I do hope to be able to book one for my family that is steadily growing. We are getting ready to add a new DGbaby and a new Ddaughter in law next March. Big Wedding in the works. This is from two different childen. Just in case it didn't sound right after I wrote it!

As many have said... WOW!! Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you are in for an outstanding trip. Hope you'll be kind enough to share a trip report w/ us or at least pictures. Would love to see it all decorated for the holidays. Have a great time!!

Thanks -- that does help!!! I could have the king bed all to myself, and each daughter could take one (if they wanted to each have a bed to themselves)or up to three (if they shared two to a queen bed) friends. Hmmm, something to think about!!!!

Oh my gosh, that looks awesome! I own at SSR, so I'll probably never be able to snag one, but have fun all you Animal kingdom owners! A pool table, how much fun would that be!

We are planning on putting the pool cues and balls away. We have lots of little boys coming and I can see the sword fights and balls flying already.

I was thinking I would host an open house for any disers who are in the area if they wanted to drop in and see the place. I will post the date and time next fall though.

If anyone is staying in one, please please post your thoughts and pictures here. I really want to hear about the view from your room.

Thanks!
Cynthia

would love to know the room numbers so we can make a specific request for our August trip- love the one between the arusha and sunset savannah- can anyone help? Love the pics

 

[elderfam]

I know where they are but not the room numbers! I would give DVC any request info you have for now, and if we can get the room numbers go back and be more specific later.
If I get them I will be sure to post them here.

Thanks for the great pics!

I want to say I read somewhere that only the Jambo GVs will have pool tables?

 

[Disneynut71]

I am in love more then I thought I was before.

Now only to get enough points to afford to stay at a GV
