Question AKL room view

[barb53lac]

Could someone tell me the difference between the standard savannah view and the arusha view and which view do you get with CL? Is there much difference between standard view and standard CL view or is it just adding the lounge?

Well, when I went in Nov 2010, I don't recall there being an Arusha view option, but we stayed standard room CL, and we had the Arusha savannah outside our balcony. The one thing a Disney CM told us on the phone was that every CL room had a savannah view, it's just not promised which one. I don't know if that's true, but I do approve of the AKL CL.

Disney was getting so many people asking for arusha that they decided that they could charge extra - good idea. We stayed overlooking another savannah - forgot the name. Arusha is the one in the middle but they all are great. They have different animals. Sometimes the animals will get new homes, or new animals brought in. The animal staff at the hotel are awesome.

The only thing I would say bad about the savannahs are that they bring in all the animals off them to clean them up, and also to get the animals used to being inside (hurricane preparations). The schedule may change so I won't say what I think they are, but do be warned that there are times that the animals can't be seen. But they'll be there all night.

Are you sure that all Jambo House CL rooms are savanna view? I read on a board somewhere that they were not all savanna view, that some were pool view. My DH and I just booked wait list for CL for October but did not know if we should cancel it as we HAVE to have a savanna view room for the week. Can anyone clear this up for us. We are DVC owners and were splurging this trip with banked points!!! Thank you!!
