Animal Kingdom Lodge Club Level

Has anyone stayed here since its opening. Wondering how it is ... have a chance to switch from YC Waterview to AKL Savannah view Club Level. Contemplating my choices.

Check out the Club Level thread. There were a couple of people who were there the first week of October. If you go back a few pages, you should find their reviews and pictures! Good luck deciding! Click HERE

Thx. Tried to find recent info and was unable to locate. Will keep looking.

We had AKL CL booked until recently. Based on everything I read, we downgraded to a regular Savannah view room. As much as we like staying at CL- until things return to normal we will just use the CL upcharge to cover Boma breakfast and a good chunk of a TS dinner somewhere. My 2 cents for what it's worth.

That is my concern. Right now we have YC Water View (complimentary) and can change to AKL concierge/club with savannah view room. Not sure I want to give up the location and the size of the room to go to AKL. If it was as it was pre-covid then I would consider it as we used to love it. But with club returning I am not sure how much of club (how it used to be with offerings/food) is returning or what the new normal is ....

There is helpful info about current AKL CL offerings on the CL thread. Lots of photos posted Oct 16 2021. You may have to go to the next page to see the evening appetizers.

From everything I’ve seen reported on the CL thread, things looks pretty close to pre-COVID. All of the CLs have modified afternoon service (more pre packed things, nothing unique) and none are doing turndown, but on the whole I’d be content/happy with what I’ve seen reported. In normal times AKL CL has been a wonderful place in my opinion, I’d have no qualms booking there right now.

Stayed AKL in the past. Looking at the pictures referenced it supports our position on the decline of the value of staying club today. We take the difference in room cost and let members of the family spend/enjoy the way that brings them joy. Sad to see the club level reduced to current state and glad we stayed before all of the cost changes

I stayed both pre and post covid. I have another trip booked because it was just as good except midday. Even GF isn't doing midday anymore.

However they did have plenty of offerings midday it just wasn't the same ones. Breakfast and evening were pretty close to pre covid.

We stayed at AKL CL the second week of October and had a great time. The CMs in the lounge were wonderful. The food and drink offerings were perfect for us. I also loved the conversations with the CMs. They were super accommodating and so happy to have people back. We had breakfast in the lounge every day and a few days we were around at dinner time and took advantage of the light dinner which was perfect for us. A few times we'd stop in the lounge late afternoon or in the evening for a glass of wine. It was usually very quiet then and a nice way to unwind.
