AKL room requests

[OHIOVACATIONER]

We would like to spend a night at AKL and even though room requests are not guaranteed can anyone recommend which room/floor/building to stay in to hopefully view the animals. We have a 1 BR reservation at Jambo Savanna View right now but wondering which had the better chance or if there is no difference. Kids are 6 and 8 and the first time to Disney. I chose Jambo for the convenience of Quick Serve. Hopefully I can get ideas as to whether this was the right choice. Thank You

There should be animals out on the savanna that you can see with a savanna view. There are various antelopes, zebra, giraffes, wildebeest, cattle on the savannas. Similar to the savanna section on the safari ride. There’s flamingos over by the pool at Jambo.

If you go to touring plans (link below), you can see views from the 1BR SV villas. As PP mentioned, you will see animals. They do move around during the day, so at any given time YMMV. Beyond that it's a question for you of distance to lobby, floor, etc. Zebra trail is the side closest to pool/QS.

After staying at *most* resorts, AKL is by far the one where we've had the least success with room requests.

But, we always book Savannah View and have never been unhappy with our view or location.
