I have so much to say about AKL but I’m tired so maybe more later - they have renewed my faith in Disney resorts. Every single employee was top notch and service was impeccable!! The greeter at Jambo is delightful! Can’t wait to go back. We moved to Universal today and I’m sad.
As for construction- cranes are up on the Arusha side of the Kudu trail (most of it) and on a section of the sunset side as well. We were in 2228 (level below the lobby) and they put a barrier up for refurb to block the hall access at the junction just past our room. We still had old furnishings. We had a note about noise between 9am and dusk, but only heard a drill once, at 9am.
