How tough to book Concierge in Sept?!?!

[Maliki2]

Hello,

Wife and I are on the bubble for next years trip. We have some extra points due to banking and shortened trip. We are thinking of trying for a studio concierge for September next year....anyone know how hard it is to get these rooms at that time of the year at Animal Kingdom Lodge??

There are only 5 rooms. It will be difficult.

Ok thanks! I knew it would be hard if not we will probably just upgrade to a 1 bedroom or a Savannah view...our 8 year old loves the animals!

At 11 or 7?

Three rooms are savanna view and two are pool view. They don't take requests. If you want to see the animals from the room, book a savanna view room.

Try for CL, if not available, book a 1 bedroom sunset savanna view and then waitlist a few of those nights back at CL at the beginning of your vacation.

If you WL at 11 months and only for a few days you have a much better shot at it coming through.

Staying CL at the beginning of your vacation allows you CL check in and if your room isn't ready, you can still hang out in the CL lounge.

On the other hand if you stay in the savanna room at first, you can start using the CL lounge at 11 when you check out of the savanna room.

Thanks alot for the advice! Going to give it a shot if not we will just hit a Savannah view in either a 1 bedroom or Studio. Kiddo would be happy with either! We just wanted to try the CL for once!

At 7:59am on the morning of the 11-month mark, AKV owners have the difficult decision of trying for value or concierge villas. I always go value because my success has been greater. After successfully booking and refreshing the page, both accommodation types are generally unavailable.

Although challenging, it is certainly worth trying. However, it is important to have a second choice travel plan.

Going to give it a shot if we cant get Cl...we will do well with the other choices!
