I should start off by saying this is a very unusual trip for us. I think that ten nights is perfect for a WDW get away. This trip will be 22 nights. 6nights at the GF, 4 at the AKL concierge and 12 at the VWL. It's a bit crazy.
We usually split a stay at the Polynesian and AKL concierge. I decided this time to give the GF a try. I thought that I would give a standard room a try. I requested a ground floor room in the Big Pine Key and that is what we got
The highlights of that trip include great service, beautiful rooms, a wonderful beach, fun children's activites, great dining, fantastic views everywhere, the extra little touches found in your room and of course being right next to the MK. We had a great stay.
The disappointments were only with the Mousekeeter Club and the fact that the GF is a convention hotel.
We had another wonderful stay at the AKL concierge. The last time we were there was during hurrican Charley. The highlights there include doing the Wanyama Safari. This is just amazing. I have read glowing reports, but I had no idea how wonderful it would be. My kids went to Simba's and enjoyed it so much that they went back another night. This was our first time using the Kid's Club at WDW. We also enjoyed doing many of the activites that they offer at the resort. This was our fourth visit and we never really had the time to enjoy them. My kids had a great time earning their beads.
The only disappointment I had with the AKL is that they were doing some work down at the pool. It was very loud and quite an eyesore. We stay at this resort to relax and hang out at the pool. We left early on our last day because of the refurbishment.
We checked into the VWL on a Thursday it was nice and quiet. We were able to get our room. I have enjoyed our January visits to the WL. I wasn't as excited to stay at the VWL, but I was pleasantly surprised. I liked the rooms more than I thought I would. I knew it was going to be busy at WDW and I was worried about the crowds. The Villas are so quiet and peaceful. There's nothing like having a drink on your balcony while watching the deer below. It is wonderful having the space and cooking some food in a kitchen. We still have 4 more nights here. The highlights include great dining, relaxing at the beach, biking to Ft. Wilderness and enjoying a swim at the quite pool.
The disappointments are the crowds at the main pool. People are saving chairs and it's not even worth going over there. The quite pool at the Villa's is my favorite resort quite pool, so we really enjoy it.
The crowds are insane this week. It was pretty crowded our first week in April and then it was quite the next week. We go to the parks about every other day. Tomorrow we are going to Chef Mickeys for breakfast. Then we're biking over to Ft. Wilderness to canoe. Then will head back over there for the camfire.
I did find that during this trip we all really missed the Polynesian. I tried to see if we could stay the weekend there, but the only room available at WDW this weekend is a two bedroom suite at the BWI.

I've heard of people going for 10 days, 14 days maybe but never 22 days in one trip. I'm glad you're having a wonderful time but 22 days? I'm afraid to even ask what your lodging bill looks like
