Stay in the savannah view room.
My wife and I stayed in AKL in Oct. It was a wonderful experiance. And like cm1988 said, it quickly become a favorite place to stay. I've stayed at Conteporary, Poly, and in outside park, and AKL is the best bar none.
They also feed the animal late at night, I think around 11 or 12. Actually, I belive one of the CM said they are feed 4 times a day. It's really cool watching them at night, and with some binoculars (or the view finders at some of the areas), you can clearly do some night watching because of the special nightime lights they have.
The animal, the views, the resturants, the CMs, even the store. Everything about that place is great.
