I think that would depend on what your definition of best is. Someone here may think close to the lobby is best, while someone else may want to be far away from the lobby.
Right, but I suppose there are some locations that may be better than others. For us, the best room is usually the one we are in. I remember the first time we woke to giraffe and zebra right outside the room. We had coffee and pastries on the balcony and remember saying, "Wow this is the best room we have ever stayed at," but that opinion was shaped by the current experience. I have thought the same about several different WDW onsite and offsite locations.
I wouldn't count on it. We had rooms that were supposed to have great views of the animals and they were only great in the early morning when the animals ran away from the barn and the evening when the same animals were hearded back to the barn... Otherwise you might as well have been looking at a view of a deserted golf course. We saw more animals during a bad trip on the AK safari than we did in a week of the AKL room. So don't make my mistake and get your kids expectations up, they may be disappointed.... Frankly for the price they charge at AKL they should have CMs with cattle prods making the animal stand by your balcony all day long.
