I didnt specifically ask for 6 but when I called with a room request for my CL booking nonsmoking with 2 queens Juanita said do you want to be on 6 and I said sure not knowing any better. She just said I have to warn you the view is not as good because the roof overhang and then I said as long as we are close to the lounge it doesnt matter. With the little guy; being close to the lounge is more important to me. Then I got to reading here on the board and thought maybe I should request 5 because the view is better so I called and left a message and Juanita called back and said she though I would be happy with 6 and not to change. So I just left it in her hands and figured she knows best.

My only real concern was that the balcony have slats not a half wall so that the baby can at least see out. She said it does have slats and not a half wall so I left well enough alone.
Hi everyone
Now that we're back from our Disney Magic cruise I've been turning all of my attention to our upcoming Disney Wonder cruise and WDW vacation for February. We'll be staying at the WL before the cruise, and AKL concierge after the cruise. As some of you may remember, we just stayed at AKL this past May, but we didn't stay concierge. I'm really looking forward to concierge this time because of all of the wonderful things I've heard about it!
Anyway, just yesterday I got an email reply from Juanita. I had emailed AKL concierge to make some requests and to ask about a king bed. Here is part of what she replied:
No extra charge for a King bed,I have added this request as well as a 6th floor smoking opt.Pool / savanna room on the Concierge floor.This is a key access floor .With the Concierge and Lounge.
First of all, I told her that we'd like a smoking room, which she does have noted, so how is it possible for her to request a savannah room for us? Also, are there any other view options in concierge besides Pool or Savannah?? Maybe she meant we'll get one or the other?? I fully expect a pool view room because I know they don't want anyone smoking in the rooms that face the animals, I'm just surprised that Juanita didn't come out and say that.
Cass, from the map that you posted for IWISH, I think I see that the only 6th floor concierge rooms are the rooms you highlighted, plus the other side that faces the pool? And I see exactly what you mean about the overhangs. There are overhangs, apparently, beneath every 6th floor room, from what I can see on that map (savannah view side and pool view side).
Has anyone here ever stayed on the 6th floor concierge? What was their experience?? Was it fun to be up there on the 6th floor? When we stayed concierge at the WL, I LOVED being up on the 7th floor (highest floor) and overlooking the lobby. Does the AKL 6th floor overlook the lobby too??
Any comments or opinions are greatly appreciated!
