Took a while, but booked
I secured a booking for opening weekend (May 1st - May 3rd) in a Savannah view Studio room. I called in around 9:00 and got the busy signal, but eventually got through. 45 minutes later I had our reservation. Can't wait to experience the hotel on that opening weekend (assuming they stay on schedule). I'm also looking forward to the new restaurants and seeing what animals they may bring to the resort that are different (compared to what is already at AKL).
