Opinions on Mara @ AKL?

[JadeOfTheJungle]

Just wondering how everyone felt about Mara. Was it pretty much on par with all of the other resort CS locations? Thanks!

Our November 2005 experience was...ok. It was average counter service. We had so many wonderful AKL experiences, that service at The Mara honestly was disappointing. Outside of The Mara, all AKL CM's went out of their way to make our vacation special. At The Mara, they didn't seem to care. Service was slow, and the food was average for counter service. (Although you could buy a package of Zebra Domes which are a "little piece of heaven")

We ate there two years ago and thought it was better than a lot of the CS's we have eaten at. We had a very friendly gentleman help us (it was our first year on the dining plan and it was our first meal on the plan). We plan on going back this year so I can see the animals up close.

We love Mara, we usually stay at WL or AKL, Mara is so much bigger than WL even with the remodel. Sometimes they get a rush of people and service is a little slow but that could happen anywhere. I love the stew and thought they had a little different variety.

We really enjoyed it. we were there in December and ate there twice,and the food was different, but very good. There were several African inspired dishes, but you could also have the old standby, Chicken fingers and fries. My mom had some wonderful fried shrimp, I had a Panini and couscous, and DH had a really good flatbread pizza. I can't remember what we had the second time. They had pita chips and other little baggies of goodies as well.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Our trip isn't until '09 but we're so excited to stay at AKL.
