I have a ressie for a Deluxe Savvana view room. Last night DH asked "we aren't staying concierge?" More surprised (shocked) that I didn't book it rather than his own disappointment.
I didn't book concierge because I don't like the risk of not having a savanna view. I'm sure a pool view is nice, but the savanna view is what DS is really looking forward to. (so am I)
I read that if you book concierge you cannot guarantee savanna view, you might get pool or savvana. Is this right? Just want to be sure before we rule it out completely.
It's really a shame, IMO. I know Deluxe savanna view will be wonderful, but I do like the concierge assistance and lounge offerings.

bumping, hoping I will watch someone's eye and get some info.
I'm having a hard time find much info about AKL concierge. Is there a good source or page on this thread? I don't think we will be around too much, but am curious about the food offerings.
As I wrote before my current ressie is for a Deluxe Savanna view. We have a queen bed and bunk beds. If I switch to concierge will I still be able to get the bunk beds? I guess our room sounds great: savanna view and bunk beds but would like access to concierge without sacrificing those things. (I also like robes and turn-down, but guess --sigh-- I can live without that, too. I do enjoy my vacations.

Can any advise?

TIA

...breakfast anyone??

 

[tinknme]

How is the breakfast here? I have eaten the dinner(loved the desserts ), we are trying the breakfast 1st time on our next trip. Five more loooooong months!!!!!

...breakfast anyone??

 

[John's Mom]

tinknme,

We have breakfast at Boma on our first and last mornings at WDW. The food is very good, especially the made-to-order omelets. There are several South African dishes to try. Frunch, Boma's combo juice, is really good. Try the pressed pot of coffee (extra charge). It's one of the best cups of coffee at WDW.


mlwear,

We have stayed concierge at the AKL twice in a savannah room. Over the years, I have read quite a lot of posts stating that if they requested a savannah room, they received it. PM me if you want more info.

We love breakfast at Boma. If I had my way we would eat there every morning but my DH is not a big breakfast eater so I usually only do it 2 or 3 times a trip. I love their made to order omlets, the fruit and all the danish and the frunch is the best. Also, the pressed pot of coffee is really great.

melwear,
I know how you feel. I decided to book the concergie for our upcoming trip and take a chance of getting the savanaha room since it seems that the majority of people who asked for it got it. Of course I did send the planners an e-mail telling them how important a savanaha view was and they told me some pixie dust might just be arranged. I am still not counting on it since I don't want to be disapointed but the pool views I have seen look very nice and there is lots of viewing areas around. Since the main draw and the reason I no longer have to force my DH to go is the view of the animals I sure hope we get it. Since our first stay here he has not been resistant to returning as long as he can sit on the balcony and enjoy the animals some.
I will be sure to let you know how I make out when we get back on or about May 12th.

I am taking my DMom, DSister, and Dcousin to WDW for their first time, and we are all staying at the AKL for the first time too.

Since we are trying to keep the costs down, we are just getting two standard rooms (My mom likes her privacy LOL). Is there a good recommendation I should request? I already requested connecting rooms but maybe a good location near an elevator, or a pretty garden view? I do not know the ins and outs of this resort, so any info would be great! I want to make things as special for them as possible...that is why we switched to a deluxe!

Thanks!

 

[John's Mom]

ohsodisney,

Try a Victoria Falls Mist. Great drink!

Then, visit the Uzima Springs Pool Bar and have a Nahtazu. Even better!

 

[tiggrbaby]

I had two Victoria Falls Mist at Boma - yummy! I spent a great deal of time trying to find the recipe on this threaad; what is meant by citrus juice?
