Hello,

We are staying four nights at AKL Jambo, in a savannah-view studio, in January. (On rented points.)

It's our first trip to Disney. We have two kids, ages 4 and 6.

Any tips on what room or location or savannah to request?

We really don't care about being near to an elevator. Seeing animals --- or any other thing that might be neat -- would be awesome, of course.

Of course, we know it's only good luck if you get your request, but we thought we'd try.

thanks so much!
 
Sunset savannah is a good request if you want to see giraffes. Otherwise all savannahs have animals.
 
AKL is a great choice for a first visit to WDW!! Unfortunately, it will spoil you for just about any other resort/hotel you will visit ... :lmao:

Animals are everywhere at AKL - with the two kids, I think it would be more important for you to request a room close to the lobby (and pool) ... A long walk to your room at the end of a busy day could be a killer ...

I would also plan on spending some time at the resort - it's almost a theme park in itself! There are tons of activities for kids and adults ...

And if you want a break from the kids one night - there's Simba's Clubhouse. My DD and DN had a stay there a few years ago, and they still won't tell me what they did!! :rotfl2: They obviously had a great time ... I guess "What happens in Simba's Clubhouse, stays in Simba's Clubhouse." :rotfl:

And make sure to have strollers for both kids ...

... and eat at Boma!! :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

Have a great trip!

PS. We stayed at AKL during both the 2008 and 2009 TRs in my siggie ... might give you some more ideas ...

PPS. Forgot - staying at Jambo - you can (and should try to - at leasy check it out) also use the facilities at Kidani ...
