Hello all. 2 questions (if I should separate these into 2 different threads, please let me know).
1. We're going for 5 nights in January. With the current (meager) $400 deal, a club level Savannah view room at AKL would only be about $700 more than the regular room is. I've researched it to see what you get. I only see 2 possible benefits for us. One is the food in the lounge, although that's certainly not going to be worth the $700. Is the Savannah view from the club rooms any "better" than the other Savannah view rooms? We've stayed here before in Savannah view rooms, but the animal viewing from the room wasn't anything special and we could see better animals by going to the outdoor area behind the hotel. I believe I've seen people refer to a couple of different savannahs by name that the rooms overlook. Didn't know if there was a "better" one and if club level got you that.
2. We lived in NC until 3 months ago when we moved to Alaska. Our plan has always been to be in line for rope drop, hit everything, get lunch, siesta at the hotel in afternoon, and then back into another park for the early evening. However, we're now 4 hours behind east coast time. It will be myself, my wife (who has sleep issues at baseline), and our 2 - 8 y/o's. Is it worth trying to shift our sleep schedule to east coast time or we would be better off trying a different park strategy, like starting our day a little later and focusing on staying until park closing when people begin to thin out? Of note, our trip to Disney is 5 days, but then we'll be going to Uni (for the first time) for another 5 days, so we'd potentially be shifting our sleep for 10 days.
Thank you for looking and for your sage advice!
