What is your favorite thing at AKV?

Just wondering- while we wait for our guide to come back to work( he sounds sick)- what's your favorite thing about staying at AKV?

Top on our list are the animals.

That is a definate dittio for us. It is just so wonderful to sit out on the balcony with a cold drink watching the animals do their thing. When we were there a few weeks ago, we watched a waterbuck chase a zebra who was chasing a giraffe, who was chasing an african crowned crane! It went on for about 5 minutes. Now you won't see that any where else!!

The savannah view to see the animals.

That's great! We love animals!

The animals, no question about it.

I love the feeling that you may be in Africa especially listening to the music by the pool and watching the animals.

The animals! Love that savanna view. Also love Jikos- my favorite restaurant anywhere.

How cool, to feel like you are in Africa- that's a VERY wonderful thing! I have heard the food is great in both the restaurants-I have friends who just stayed and said this was their favorite food, they LOVED LOVED LOVED it! We were just at WDW,too, and unfortunately I had to cancel Boma- ironically, it was the 1st ressie I made because I wanted to try it so badly! We were just running into a situation where we were missing too much time in the parks because of dinners outside of them or too far away from them at night. Well, we're going to purchase there, so I will getting PLENTY of chances in the future, right?

animals yea

but I like the way the studios looked. they are designed (from my point of view) much better. Okay it might be that TV....

I haven't stayed on the villas side yet, but we LOVED our stays at the AKL. The savanna views are really amazing--it's just incredible to see animals right outside your balcony. I also love the look of the lobby and the delicious smells that float up to it from Boma and Jiko. Speaking of Boma, I think it's one of WDW's best restaurants. I like the exotic feel of AKL. I'm thrilled to own at AKV now and am looking forward to my first trip home in March of 2008.

1. The savannah with the animals
2. The theme/decor (although I still think WL has the best theme/decor)

Stayed at AKL three years ago, in a deluxe pool view, and loved the pool and Bomas. Next year is our first trip home to AKV and we are really looking forward to it, this time we will also have a savanna view so seeing the animals off the balcony will be new

Mike,

Interesting on your point number 2. I almost put that as well. AKL, WL and the Grand Californian are the three best themed resorts I can think of. The imagineers just did a superb job on those resorts! And all three have or will have DVC!

And they all have the same architect. I can't think of his name. He is also the architect on the Hawaii DVC resort.

The entire theme/atmosphere is great....obviously the savannas and animals are fantastic! I have to say one of the reasons we did an add-on was that most 1BRs sleep five (as we are a family of 5) and the 1BRs in Kidani will have 2 bathrooms. Love the whole value villa concept (save points) and concierge villa availability (splurge!) as well!
