WE just came back from AKL about 3 weeks ago. It was our 1st time there and it was wonderful. We were even surprised with an upgrade to the savannah view. My DS's loved it and it's on the for a resort return.
The bus transportation was wonderful. Longest wait was 10 minutes and that was at a water park. Never had to stand, however, we did wait for 30 minutes after the fireworks before going to the bus.
FYI-feeding time in the savannah area was around 7:50 a.m., if you get a chance watch it. I was so amazed on how the animals followed them for the food.
