On our recent stay at the Boardwalk, we learned that Manager Cosmo Kapoor was sent to the Animal Kingdom Lodge this summer! We expect good things to come.... He was originally the manager at the Grand Floridian, then sent to Disneyland Hotel, now back in WDW. Our family met him at RPC a few years back and he was so warm and cared about the guests. He added the Disney touch with humility! He once was quoted in an article about being a Manager, “Honor: build a sense of pride within your team. Humbleness/Humility: take the time to learn, listen, and be a team player, allowing people to take risks. Creativity happens when people make mistakes and learn from them. Humor: it builds camaraderie and makes memories.”

Even though our pixie dust has ended for the year....Very thankful for the Innkeepers Club at the Boardwalk and for all of you sharing photos and experiences! While our stay was not without hiccups, the Innkeeper staff kept us laughing and treated all the guests as family. If any one has any questions about the Boardwalk from October 2024, just let me know! Enjoy a wonderful time- Happy Thanksgiving!

AKL Evening Apps

The main dish was shredded turkey (it was an Ethiopian dish) with stuffing and butternut squash soup for Thanksgiving.

What a beautiful spread! Any leftovers just put by the side door and we will be there! LOL Seriously, are you having a good stay? Is it very crowded for Thanksgiving Weekend? Thanks again, for your photos!

How would you rank AKL club food vs. the other CL?

I did not get here until Wednesday night, but the lounge itself wasn’t terrible yesterday. Definitely full for breakfast and for evening hours.

How would you rank AKL club food vs. the other CL?

lol it’s hard for me to answer that. I honestly do not eat any of the hot apps here (some due to allergies, but mostly because I just wouldn’t eat them if I could! I’m a Horribly picky eater! I’m the one putting carrot sticks, cheese, and whatever the kids offering is on my plate. The wine is good! lol

This is a very interesting tidbit! We have stayed AKL CL too many times to count and it's always been good but last month it was definitely a step above previous stays. We felt so welcomed and everyone really went above and beyond.

@mrsap if you see Francisco ask him to make you an I don't know.

How would you rank AKL club food vs. the other CL?

If you like Boma, Sanaa, etc you will really like the food. They have some very common foods, cheese, veggies, meatballs, etc but also many foods that lean African. Sunday night is always butter chicken and its a family favorite. The tomato soup that night is also wonderful. It's really tough to rank it vs others because they'll all unique. I will say WL serves the most hearty foods. They honestly serve more of a dinner vs apps in the evenings.
A good judge of the CL food is do you like the restaurants at that resort, if yes, then you will most likely like the CL food.

Good morning all!

Sorry I haven’t been taking pics. Last nights dinner was some sort of seafood stew and I believe durban chicken, as well as Mac & cheese. Breakfast this morning looks the same, except for ham (instead of bacon/sausage.) Lounge has been quite crowded since yesterday.

I have never really had much interest in staying at AKL but the photos from @mrsap are making me rethink that!
Are the club level rooms and suites located on the same floor as the club lounge? When I look it up on MDE every club category says Club Level "Access" which makes me suspect that the rooms aren't all that convenient to the lounge.

Unfortunately, only a few DVC rooms are on the same floor as the lounge. If not DVC, you will be on another floor.

Thank you. That's what I suspected after looking up the room categories. I was becoming interested but I prioritize easy lounge access.

In any case, thank you for all of the photos @mrsap
