Need Help WL or AKL???

[dmask]

First time staying in a deluxe and a first during the Christmas Holiday season!

Some background 2 adults, last visit was April 04 - just a few months ago. We will be going to MK for Mickey's Xmas Party for 2 nights.

The choice is WL (woods view), AKL (pool view) both the same price (3nts 405 room only w/tax).


All help greatly appreciated!!!

We've stayed at both and they are both gorgeous resorts. Our preference is AKL but if you are spending two nights at MK for the holiday celebrations then your best bet would probably be WL. You can use the boat transportation and head right over there. We have been there {WL} during Christmas time and the lodge is decorated beautifully. You'll have a wonderful time. I so envy you.

We are in the same situation. We basicly have 2 resv's for our Dec trip VWL studio (through DVC) and AKL savanna view. We are leaning towards AKL due to we love the resort and plus all the animals. The rate also is basicly the same.

I'm always torn between the 2. Both have their pros and cons, AKL is just lovely, great pool and hot tubs....but it's their eating accommodations that is my con here and the deciding factor. I want a place where I can go and have a nice sit down breakfast. No, not a buffet (Boma) and not a fast food breakfast (Mara's). That's why we always seem to choose WL. We like eating breakfast (not the AYCE) at WC and if we need a choice it's just a quick boat ride to CR for the concourse steakhouse for breakfast or another quick boat ride to Trail's end for lunch or dinner. We stayed at AKL in January one year and it was nice, but when it comes to making a decision, we tend to book at the WL. We were there February and July this year. I just booked for a week in January 2005 (but AKL was our second choice if we couldn't get a discount at WL. We got a discounted woods view room, so we didn't have to choose our second choice--BTW, CR was our third.)
