Number 9 is really FINE! Welcome to AKL LITE - the 'unofficial' FAQ Thread

I thought all club level rooms had a Savanna view, but I read on All Ears there were also pool views. So would I have to request a Savanna view? I really don't want a pool view.

"Congrats on the cruise and AKL stay!"

Thanks. The cruise is the Thanksgiving cruise on the Fantasy. My 60th birthday is on Thanksgiving. We went on the Dream in April to bump us up to Gold CC for this cruise. Staying at AKL Kidani after for 2 nights (Nov. 30-Dec 2) so we won't be driving home over Thanksgiving weekend.Actually, it was just an excuse to stay at AKL and use our annual passes again.

All club level rooms have an Arusha Savanna view.

The DVC club level rooms have either a savanna or pool view.

Thanks for the info, that's what I needed to know.

Does anyone know if the AKL Pool view rooms are usually including in the free dining promotions? If FD is offered, I think we will do our first stay at AKL!

Welp, my sister and I have decided to stay in Nov 2014 Concierge level. We've stayed concierge in 2008 and I'm so excited to stay again. However, it's depressing that the trip is so far away. How do you all keep your spirits up?

We talk about it here, we plan, and start planning a future one, before we finish this one...

On the night vision goggles, there is a CM who has the goggles. The CM let's each person take a turn to use the goggles. Children can use them also, but it would be very hard for a very young child to see anything.

The viewing area is beyond the smaller spa.

Thanks for the reply. DH was trying to tell me that kids couldn't use them. My 2 yo probably would want to part of it,but my 6yo is very excited to see all the animals.

Sorry to ask again, but does anyone have any feedback on Sanaa and kids?

Sanaa is a great place to bring children! The times I have been, there have always been families there.

If you can get a window table, or one of the ones close-by, the animal activity on the Savanna is so much fun to watch!

Here's a link to the Sanaa kids menu:
