In my opinion, it is the resort that most feels "away from it all". The distance from most of the parks other than AK is compensated by the theming, the animals and the unique, quiet and relaxing feel of the resort.

Jamaica and Aruba are good locations because you can walk across the bridge to Old Port Royale. If you request just the building, you'll have a better chance than a building plus a view, etc.

Me too, but I'm planning on doing it too!

Sometimes management responds, sometimes not. People next door were smoking ON THE BALCONY by the animals at AKL and they quietly knocked on their door after my call and requested they stop, nicely. (Yes, I was snooping). They didn't stop. So I handled it myself, talked to them. Not as nicely...

Had a couple of meh and more than meh experiences at POFQ after many years as our go-to mod. Switched to CBR. Have had nothing but good experiences there many for many years, several times a year. The reason is definitely the cast members. They are nice, friendly, accommodating. It must be bad...

It was so awful, cannot give it a second chance. Too many other options that can take my Disney dollars.

Run away. As fast as you can. Out of hundreds of dining experiences over many many visits, this was our worst experience and we will never go back. And I have never felt this way about any WDW restaurant. Snarky, unhappy, even argumentative wait staff, incompetent management, bad food (reheated...

There is an intangible that was totally unexpected the first time we stayed there. Peace and quiet. It's stunning, really. Spend some time in a rocking chair at the overlooks along the hallways and you can close your eyes and imagine yourself on a savanna.

If getting in to your room early is important, ask them to check for a comparable room that is available right then. In my experience, they will make a phone call and find a room that is available immediately.

Don't even eat steak but the Cheddar Cheese Soup is my favorite so we often go!

We've done it several times. I like it because it feels like a new trip, a fresh start. But we've always gone up in class, i.e., Mod to Deluxe, as a treat for the end of the trip.

AKL. African animals outside your balcony! And inside the room, low lighting and very quiet in order to enjoy the savanna magic.

Sometimes you just gotta sit!

Flight of Passage and Peter Pan.

White Cheddar Cheese Soup, Le Cellier, Canada, Epcot. And Zebra Domes at AKL.

Sunset savanna view and the very end of the hallway, you'll have to walk down to the end of the "horseshoe necklace" configuration of the resort. The barn is down at that end and in the morning the animal caregivers will hit the wood block or whistle and all the animals make their way to the...

When the gondola is operational, have a feeling the CBR will go up in price. Thoughts?

If they are into water slides, if you can get Yacht and Beach Club, that pool is unique to Disney resorts. The water slide is impressive, almost like a mini water park, sandy bottom portion of pool, etc. Check some of the photos and videos of that to make your decision. Caribbean Beach has a...

Bigger difference between Value and Moderate than Moderate to Deluxe. Have stayed all 3 categories. Like the inner hallways at Deluxe for sure. Kids are kids everywhere. But more space around the common areas is always nice and you can get that at Moderate if you want to forgo spas, concierge...

Not a huge deal in the grand scheme, but enough of an issue to make us switch resorts permanently and we go 5 times a year from Chicago and are annual passholders. POFQ. Front desk. Paid for a River View room and were told it was not available, gave us a garden view accessible room (different...
