Just got back from a split stay (4 nights at the Polynesian, deluxe studio then 3 nights standard view room at Jambo House). I didn't really want to change from the Poly...it was my birthday trip and I'm not a huge fan of AK park. DS has always wanted to stay here, and after buying a vacation house this summer, we were trying to cut costs.....so when a standard view became available here on Orbitz and with extra 15% promo code and some orbucks I had, we got 3 nights for 1/3 of the cost of 4 nights at the Poly. Upon checkin we were silently upgraded to a Savanna view on 4th floor .....realized this after we got to the room. Between the amazing surprise view and all the activities in the lobby,etc (we also took a slower paced trip this time) I was sold. Still not a fan of it being so far out from everything else, but we drove so having our car helped with a couple ADRs at other resorts. I told DH I could see doing a non-parks trip to AKL, even with DS because there was so much for him to do--African drumming, crafts, trading with King Pin. I still loved the Poly but the 3 nights at AKL that I was dreading turned out to be amazing!!
