You can't go wrong with either. I've stayed at both the WL and AKL. AKL is my favorite between the two, for a number of reasons. Yes, the AKL is more remote than all the other resorts, but because of this they have dedicated bus transportation to and from that resort only. So many people say that AKL is so far away, but in my experience, even though WL was right next to everything, it took us forever to get anywhere. WL shares bus transportation with Fort Wilderness and Grand F. I spent more time on a bus when I stayed at the WL than when I stayed at the AKL. Second, AKL rooms are much nicer, the quality rating is in line with the Yacht, Boardwalk and Beach Club. WL rooms are older and in my opinion in need of renovation, all though size of rooms are the same. AKL views can't be beat, a savannah view is something so unique you can't experience anywhere else. I also think AKL food court is better. The theming of both resorts are very similar, they are both breathtaking in there own regard, but AKL still in my opinion beats the WL for atmosphere. Hope that helps.

I wish I could make up my mind! We are RVers and so I thought going to AKL would be different since WL seems more like the camping atmosphere to me. But then again, I didn't think I would ever be interested in the African theme (I'm actually more of a tropical person) plus I too thought it was "way out there".... but roozlilone you have a good point on that issue! I just don't know!!!!! I hear so many good things about each resort that I'm sure I won't regret either decision. Anyway...thanks for trying to help! But I think I'm helpless!
