Has anyone requested a room overlooking the lobby? If so, how was the noise level?
Also just got magic bands for our first ever AKL stay. Was incredibly lucky to get 2 bedroom suite renting through Davids for a very busy time of year. Cross your fingers I don't go on the DVC tour. I am trying to stay away from most information about the lodge, but I see that a previous poster mentioned fans? My child sleeps with a fan and I was going to look into white noise apps. Are there ceiling fans or other types in the rooms?
NovemberI will be staying at AKL 11/25 - 12/4 with a pool view. I wanted savanah view but no availability when I booked. What is a good request to put in for pool view? Is there any chance of a partial savanah view? Never stayed at AKL, so not familiar with the resort. I apologize if this question has already been asked. I did search through the thread but not finding much related to pool view. Thanks so much!

Never requested it, but are there by default each year when we stay DVC club level, and even on the 6th floor it can be incredibly loud at times. There is drumming (which is delightful unless you are trying to sleep), and you can frequently hear the children's TV in the lobby, but the absolute worst was the beeping of the crane when they were taking down the Christmas tree in the middle of the night. Most people say the views are the worst part about the DVC club level rooms, but I would say it is the noise of the location. I would not personally ever request one of those rooms due to the noise.
Now that I'm a DVC AKV owner I kept thinking I'd do CL DVC one day (we're doing CL this year non-dvc), but honestly after everything I've read I'll stick to a 1BR Villa non-club level. Splurging this year on our last non-dvc trip for CL is good enough lol
This may have been addressed already....but How do you go about booking for the Disney visa discount? Call Disney directly?With a great Disney Visa discount we upgraded our January stay from POFQ to AKL! I am beyond excited! I have always wanted to stay at AKL! I am enjoying reading through the posts on this thread. Thanks everyone for all of the information!
THANKS! I will give it a tryI called, but I think you can use this link too.

Question: Would we be able to stay and enjoy the pool after check out? Our flight isn't until 5 PM so I was hoping we might be able to stay on property until it was time to head to the airport. As long as we're out of our room by check out is this an option?
I guess I should make it official....Please add us to the roster for Nov 21-25. Thanks!November
