I know a lot of people post about staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge v. Wilderness Lodge. We are planning our Disneymoon for January 2013. So excited! We are currently booked at AKL but DH wants to switch to WL. What do you think? We'll most likely (not 100% sure yet) have a rental car either way. It's just us, no kids. This will be for the end of our honeymoon, we are going on a Disney Cruise first to the Bahamas and then going to Universal (staying at Royal Pacific).
Animal Kingdom Lodge:
- $100 cheaper
- I've wanted to stay here since it opened.
- More tropical themed, fits with the rest of our vacation.
- Animals!
- Ugly bedspreads
Wilderness Lodge
- new bedspreads and recently re-furbed rooms, but still kind of dark
- Close to MK, just a boat ride away
- DH wants to stay here
I can't get excited about WL. I think it's the theming. On one hand it would be very us (I'm from the Pacific Northwest, he's from Colorado) but it also doesn't have that tropical vacation vibe I want.
What do you think?
