AKL LITE unofficial FAQ thread#10 - I believe that's known as a 'Jambo Dozen'

[TLMcMarks]

Ticket and Transportation Center. It's the central station for the monorail and the only parking lot for those that drive to MK. From there you can either grab the monorail or a ferry boat to MK. Other than bus that is the only method to get to that park. Well, or walking to it from CR

thanks for all the help!

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if there is a freezer in the mini fridge? Also, if there is, how big is it? Is the fridge large enough for a gallon of milk?

We will be at AKL November 1-7. We switched from AoA this morning. Can't wait.

We fit a half gallon without issue. I don't think there is room for a gallon.

The freezer is very very tiny. You can probably put two hot pockets in there out of the box.

I know it's done at the value resorts, but can you decorate your doors at AKL? My son's bday is that week.

Yes I believe you can as I do remember seeing when I was there last

What is the difference between a sunset savannah view and a pembe savannah veiw?

 

[momabaarjo]

So excited book a savannah view studio DVC Jambo for PHM...Feb 18-23!!! Couple questions...

1. The view is most important...don't mind walking...where should we request?
2. Decorating doors...so want to do this? We won't use tape...what to use magnets or sticky putty?
3. How far walking is KV?

Thank you so much! That gives me a helpful visual. I am thinking of having breakfast in our room at least once. I keep thinking about having coffee and enjoying breakfast while looking at the animals from the balcony. I can't wait!

What are the rules about non-resort guests using the pool? We'll have friends joining us for a day during our stay - they live in the Orlando area so won't be staying at the resort, but we'd like to take a swim during the day - we also have different friends who're staying at a different WDW resort, and they'd like to join us for a day as well. Plus maybe my sister as well a different day. (wow, I suddenly feel very popular!)

We'll be there Aug 30th through Sept 3rd if that makes a difference.

When we went in April there were low crowds and no one checked for resort IDs, but since it'll be the long weekend I'm not sure if that'd make a difference.

TIA

I did our door at WL so I'm sure you can at AKL too

While there is a freezer and you can fit an item or two it is worth pointing out they really do not freeze at all. They are just a compartment in the fridge portion

I know that none of this can be guaranteed, but I'm curious, which savannah view would give the greatest likelihood of seeing a giraffe?

If I book a club level room, can I make a request of an Arusha view?

Not needed. All standard CL rooms are Arusha view.

Hi, We are staying at AKL for 5 nights from 27Aug 14 and have booked a standard room, through Hotels.com. A friend told me that I could end up in a dark room with no view at all as there is a canopy that blocks the window. I am okay with a parking lot view, as that was what I was expecting but still want to look out. I have booked a king bed with daybed for me,dh and ds16. I made a request for not ground level. Any advise will be apprciated, I was so excited but it,s taking the shine of now.

If you have room to add them to the Room reservation ,I'd do that. AKL/ V is one of the resorts that doesnt really allow pool hopping. Along with SAB,BLT, BCV,and AOA too....Is anyone really policing it? No, but it's still not right.....If you are going to do this, it is easier done at JAmbo rather than Kidani. No gated area! !

There is an African shield decoration on the doors at AKL, so door decorating would be difficult.
