It all looks great @NicoleLarson. How busy is the lounge this weekend since you have great pics of the food and it appears well stocked?

Those look the same as 2021 and 2022. I like to mix the reds, it makes a nice blend.
Thx for all the pix! Enjoy your trip

It seemed pretty busy at peak time ~6pm. However they had multiple CMs, like 6-8 on the floor so nothing seemed to get even close to empty. However, I wouldn't say it was packed. There was at least 1-2 tables always available.

Thanks for tip, I'll have to try that.

I also add a splash of pot/jungle juice to reds too.

If anyone has any AKL CL questions let me know.

How are the breakfast offerings

Hi, all! I've been looking to get a smaller suite at CR for our early Dec stay (originally got a 2-BR water view, but it's only three of us, we don't need that much space, and it's eye-meltingly expensive). We were thinking about going to 2 separate rooms at GF (non CL) instead, but this morning I saw and grabbed the CR 1-br TPV, only a few hundred more than the 2 rooms at GF. I'll dig back into this thread, but does anyone have any info on the bathrooms and sleeping arrangements? We want to have our own spaces. Looks like 2 full bathrooms from You Tube vids. The suite is on me, so I'd probably take the bedroom and have my sister/her kiddo sleep in the living room, so we're trying to ensure the couches/chairs will work for my niece. Many, many thanks, and happy Sunday

We like this room type and will be staying there again next month, but it is a little awkward depending on the group make up.

It’s essentially a 2q hotel room that connects to to massive living, dining room and kitchen. I guess the sofa pulls out? It connects by way of a steel fire door. Two separate entrances - one in the queen hotel room and another with double doors into the main suite. 2 full bathrooms, but only a tub with the queen beds. Here are some pictures…

Thank you so much! I think this’ll work fine for us, we just want separate sleeping/bathroom areas. Only 2 nights, one night at MVMCP and with the lounge nearby as well, we’ll have plenty of room. If worse comes to worse, I can sacrifice the bedroom and sleep on the pullout, but don’t tell my sister I said that ! Also, I’m more excited for TPV, love fireworks from those huge balconies!!

I need to look at my notes to remind me which one it is, but one of the TPV 1 BRs has accessible features. I’ve said before I’m very glad those exist for those that need them but I don’t totally love the modifications. Slightly picky comment and I really wouldn’t ultimately care if I had that room, just may be worth a request for a regular room. I’ll look up which # when I get a chance.

It’s not 4916. 4916 is the last room on that end of the floor - closest to the Magic Kingdom.

[NicoleLarson]

Breakfast was definitely more crowded this morning at AKL It seemed to be a steady stream, all tables were full but we found one quickly. They also seemed to be short staffed, we saw a couple CMs in not AKL uniforms, at one point a housekeeping CM came along and cleared tables. However they worked really really hard to keep everything stocked as well as they could but things were constantly running out. Also, they really need to move the nespresso machine. It's in the worst place possible. I don't remember it being that backed up last year when we were here.

Thank you both! @GADisneyDad14, if you do happen to have a number/deets, that would be great.

I found a recent YT video on 4916, there are bars in the bathroom. Honestly, I’m ok with this, the one thing I personally prefer to avoid are roll-in showers! I saw a water view 2br suite video that also showed accessible features, so it would be possible either way. I’m just happy to be saving the $!

Eta: Just found ANOTHER YT vid on 4914. That one does not have bars, it has one of the showers with a tub in it - weird, but not unappealing, def not accessible. Assuming there are 2 suites, I assume 4914 is the one to request for no bars.

Butter chicken is on Sundays at AKL! I know this was a discussion a couple of weeks ago. They have it, along with the tomato soup and corn dogs for kids tonight

Agreed! DS just wanted some regular coffee, and he had a hard time making his way up to the front to grab some without people giving him the stink eye, thinking he was trying to cut the line. The kids offerings were near that area last time we were there, as well, and kids tend to stand a bit to make a decision, which can cause a log jam.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

If I’m not mistaken this was 4916 (I lost several years of notes recently due to poor backup habits so going from memory). The accessible features are mainly limited to short beds and a tub only with bars and a shower curtain (not the larger shower/tub combos with glass doors that other 1BRs have). Plus the more open layout leaves the toilet totally exposed, in the regular layout it’s at least mostly behind a wall. So, not necessarily major things, but small differences.

 

[GADisneyDad14]

A view of the regular 1BR bathroom. Also noticed there are no underneath vanity cabinets in the accessible room.

 

[T.G.I.Friday]

It’s so weird to me that we have stayed in 4916, and I truly had no idea that it was an accessible room. I did notice the bars in the bedroom bathroom, and while I was aggravated that there wasn’t anywhere to easily hang towels and was repulsed by the idea of hanging them on bars so close to the toilet, there really didn’t seem to be much more in the way of accessibility. I guess the beds are lower, but that didn’t stand out to me. Sorry for the bad info!
