Finally reservations are done, not so fast

[jaw62901]

I know that one of these day's, I will get past this point, however it doesn't look like anytime soon, oh well.

I currently have it set up, for 4 days at AS-Sports Dec 26 to Dec 30 and CBR Dec 30 to Jan 3 for around $1443 for my trip by myself.

I contacted Disney's CRO and was told that for about $25-$50+/-(they wont beable to guarantee the rate until June) I could stay two nights in a savannah view room at AKL, but would have to stay my first 6 nights at AS-Sports for around $1468.

Another thought, if I went with a standard room, I might beable to stay 3 nights there instead of 2.

Is AKL worth the stay? Is the savannah view worth the extra money? If you could, would you stay 3 nights at AKL in a standard room over 2 nights in a savannah room?

Thanks,

Jason

Sounds as if you are paying the rack rates. You should be able to book that trip for hundreds of dollars less. Check the following link for some discounts:

I have heard great reviews from the AKL and I have seen tons of pictures and it looks AWESOME!! I think it comes down to this do you want exra money for gifts/souvenirs or do you want(and will use)the anemities of a deluxe resort?

weigh what you get....

2 nights....instead of three....
animals from your balcony..... or animals from the trails....
6 nights AllSs....or 5 nights AllSs.....

AKL savanah room is great....if your going to spend time at your room....that and I have heard people being dissapointed about which animals they were able to see....i.e. different rooms have different views....some found this to be a let down...
No the other resort it self....is worth the money... AKL is prob the best resort for the price you pay.....
but I know I wouldn't chose SV only because I look at what I can get....3 nights..not 2....less nights at an AS....and I can still see the animals....I just have to walk a little....
Its all what you prefer...as was said before....if this is a DIE HARD thing for you.....then go for it...it is your vacation....but if ya what to get more for your money....stick with standard...thats an extra night at a deluxe....for the same price.....
Also...we got bumped to Pool view....when we booked standard....and it was great....we even could see a giraffe....a reticulated one I think.....and the view of the pool and lodge was great! The pool looks so cool from above!


Hey are you still doing the packages????

AKL is GREAT! I love the lodge. We stayed there the opening day for 3 nights. The whole atmosphere is something to be amazed at. Personally I think AKL is the choice you should take for 3 nights, but this is just me :drevil:
