The Value villas are smaller or "oddly shaped". They will be created from the standard-size AKL rooms on the 5th floor of the Lodge building. The value 1BR and 2BR villas will not have the sleeper chair so they will accommodate 4 and 8 people respectively.What exactly are Value and Standard accomodations are AKL? Obviously not looking at the pool or Savannah view.
I called yesterday to find out about the values. The person I got on the phone told me that yesterday afternoon, they were supposed to have a meeting which would cover info about the value rooms. So give them a call today to get the specifics.
She did tell me that the value rooms did not have a savanah view. But call today in case they changed that info in their meeting.
If your room was a standard-size AKL room, it will become a value studio or part of a value 1BR or 2BR. If that room was a deluxe-size AKL room, it will become a standard studio or part of a standard 1BR or 2BR.Last year I had a pool view room on the fifth floor of AKL that was great! I'm hoping that room will be a value room now that it's AKV... Although it wasn't savannah view, I could go right outside my room to a nice little bench for a savannah view.
Thanks for the pics and the info! I didnt realize that if you had a different view, you could still view the Savanah in a spot close to your room.Thanks so much, Glendamax! Last year I had a pool view room on the fifth floor of AKL that was great! I'm hoping that room will be a value room now that it's AKV.

I think the value studios will be just fine. Take a regular AKL room with 2 queen beds and remove one bed and put in a full-size sofa. Remodel the closet space into a kitchenette and put an armoire where the little refrigerator used to be. The only thing I'm not sure about is what is happening to the existing TV armoire. If they are replacing the existing TVs with flat screen models, then I assume they are replacing the big TV armoires with something smaller which will be good -- two armoires in the room would be a bit much. We've stayed in regular AKL rooms and been quite comfortable. I imagine there will be less closet space but you gain a kitchenette. And you can't beat the price!At first I thought the value room would be a bit small. But since it is a regular-sized AKL room, it should be enough space. Plus it would be great to NOT use a bunch of points over the weekend!
Aww, rats! No values this September? That's what I was hoping for. So now I guess I should learn about the Standards.Wow Lisa, you are just chock full of info! I called my guide today earlier today, and he said that there will be no values available when I go this September. They will not be available untill next year. So looks like I'll be aiming for a standard.
Thanks for all of your info!
