As the Title says, the AKL is not my first choice that falls upon her sister lodge the Wilderness. If I could not get the WL and I was going to say Deluxe the AKL is my old reliable. I stayed there in Dec 2002, and we loved it. We arrived in the early evening and found out that our Pool View room was not to be, but they kindly upgraded us to the Savanah View stytle Rooms. Like the WL, the main think I like about it is that everything is all in one building, makes it great if its raining and you want to go to the food court, never having to get wet. Unlike some other then the Deluxes. I also love when you walk into the AKL and you feel totally out of your element, meaning you feel like you are in Africa, and besides the Disney service you would never know you were in Florida from the grandness and theming of the Lodge. Some people have complained about their being only buses to the Lodge and it takes a while, I say grow up, you are in Disney World, on Vacation not waiting on 42st waiting for a bus to get to work. I could go on and on, but I would just say I would Stay there again.
