That's a no brainer for me - AKL concierge hands down!

 

[CoolDisneyCat]

wow .. you found AKL concierge that cheap??

I agree .. a no brainer .. enjoy the AKL!

We went on the Sunset Safari and had a wonderful time. You may want to look in to it or the Sunrise Safari. They are only for AKL concierge guests.

What does BRP stand for? I checked the abbreviation list but it was not listed. Thanks for educating me!

I think it's Best Rate Program for AP holders. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong about that.

WL is my favorite resort and I didn't care for AKL much at all.

HOWEVER, if I had a deal like you do, I'D even take the AKL concierge deal! You'll save quite a bit of money on food just by eating on the snacks.

Let us know what you decided.

Enjoy!

Concierge won't save you money on food/snacks. It's really just a convenience factor. The offerings are snacks only and are not intended as meals. I highly doubt you can live off of veggie with dip and small hot appetizers. I know I can't. Really, folks. This is the misconception of concierge that the food is what it's about and it's just not. It's nice to run in and grab a soda or a snack, but the real reason for concierge is the SERVICE perks.

We stayed at GF Concierge in 2000 and saved ALOT of money by eating what they set out for breakfast (didn't buy breakfast once that whole trip...hmmm...that was a BIG savings for us).

I do, agree, that you won't want to replace every meal with what they set out, but it's still an advantage (especially with your deal).

I urge SAXMAN88 to give it a try anyway and decide for himself...especially if it's only $33 more.

the o n l y thing that makes me think about this is the boat ride to mk rather than the bus. i HATE having to fold that stroller up to get on the bus!

Yes, breakfast is the only exception. It still depends on the # of people in your group still to make it work. I myself can't eat continental breakfast an entire week. Everyone is different and their schedule may be zooming into the lounge for a quick bite to eat before hitting the parks. I've done it several times. I also like to enjoy breakfast at Boma's Mmmmmmm......I make sure I'm starving before going and I'm wearing elastic britches to make room for it!

you will get so many opinions but i think the majority of folks that have stayed at akl con love the service and food offerings... we are mostly snackers and are pleased with the morning/afternoon tea/"happy hour" offerings/ late evening desserts and coffee!

 

[speakupjc]

AKL hands down for the difference in price. It is worth the $33 just for drinks only.

 

[CaliforniaDreaming]

For a $33 price difference, go with AKL Concierge! Excellent price!

While I loved the AKL Concierge and am glad I stayed there, don't think I would stay again for the whole trip.

The lodge was awesome, concierge wonderful, tons of activities for little one and a great pool. Lots of animals.

I was there in 2004 for a week with my 2 teenage grandchildren. After a few days they became bored and I felt isolated. I would stay here again but not for a week. There's something magical about staying on a monorail line resort. This includes WL just a boat ride away from the monorail resorts. A plus for these lodges is the marina and it's boat rentals especially when your traveling with teens.
