Hi. We just returned last night from a fabulous Mommie & Me trip to WDW! We split our stay between Pop & AKL. Th e
The Pop was tons of fun. Our room was in the 50's section overlooking the bowling pin pool. I did not find it too noisy or too far to walk. we enjoyed the food court and loved the cast members dancing the hussle!! Very funny and many times we joined in the fun! The room was smallish. My only complaint was that I couldn't get a coffee pot. Every single cast member we encountered there was friendly and all smiles
check in was fast and easy. we checked our luggage and headed over to MGM as it was about 9:30 am. The bus service was fine. Very rarely did we have a more than 10 min wait our entire trip. One morning my dd5 got to call out on the radio for the bus to AK. It was real cute! Over all a very nice place to stay for those who don't want to spend a bundle on a room. I would recommend it without hesitation.
Now the AKL stole my heart
!!! We had room 4575 with a view on the inner circle savannah. The room was spectacular. The view was something that everyone needs to experience! We had a standard queen / bunk bed room. It had a very nice bathroom area; a coffe pot and fridge; a large armoire with a nice big TV; a small table with 2 chairs and a balcony. A very, very nice room. It was dark for reading so Iwould recommend bringing a book light if you like to read at night (like I do). The resort itself was just so wonderful! The pool deck was undergoing some construction so it was a bit of a maze on the ride side but not really a problem. The pool slide is great. Not too steap. My girls loved this slide much more than the Poly's which they found too steap. The spas were nice and made you feel like you were in a natural hot spring. We saw all the African animals and loved it! All cast members were wonderful from check in to valet service with our bags to the gift shop. Bomas' was soooo yummy! I wasn't all that impressed with the Mara. All in all, I would have to say that AKL is my favorite WDW resort so far! It is one that needs to be experienced. I can't tell you how it made us feel to see those animals from our balcony except to say it gave us a thrill and made me cry
I'll be around for questions if you have any!
