We’re planning an extended family group vacation for January 2025. My mother in law will be renting points for a room for her, and we will be booking a room for my family and my brother in laws family. We’re looking at booking a two bedroom. 4 adults (2 sets of parents) and 3 toddlers/infants...

For those of you who are at AKL right now or have been there recently, are the animals out and about during the day? We have a "water" (i.e., pool) view room booked and we were thinking about paying for an upgrade to savanna view, but if there aren't any animals out on the savannas, it's not...

I'm working on booking a DVC stay for the end of January for four adults. I last stayed in Kidani 8 years ago, and it wasn't the best trip. My family was in the second to last section of Kidani, furthest from Jambo. The walk from the lobby was lonnnng. On check in day, we had an issue where our...

Hi I am planning a trip to WDW for August 2024. There are six of us - me, my husband, my parents and my two sons aged 4 and 6. We went last year and stayed at Poly for two weeks. We loved the convenience of the resort, fireworks from the beach and the pool but would like to try somewhere...

260 AKL points available. 20pp I can book other resorts through September.

This is our first contract and it is a resale contract. It is for AKL with 250 points for 2023 on, and bank 28 points from 2022. It is for an August use year. It is $2191 in maintenance fees. I offered $103/pt and it was accepted. I expected negotiation but the seller accepted. Are there any red...

I am a newbie and really interested in buying into DVC resale. We have two kiddos, 4 year old boy who is obsessed with thrill rides and a 19 month old boy who loves to melt down at Disney and hates stroller naps. We live in GA so we always drive. I am looking at about 100-150 points with...

I was able to snag a reservation for AKL concierge and just returned from a great stay there. I know it is very difficult to get even with the 11 month AKL home booking. My question is does anyone know if the concierge rooms option would ever be removed from AKL dvc? I know DVC perks are not...

Hi I’m looking for some advice on a possible 2 weeks spilt stay at AKL and either OKW or POP. We are a family of 4. 2 adults 2 kids aged 2 and 5. I’ve heard about the long walks at both AKL and OKW but is this enough to put off staying at one of these resorts? We’re considering POP for this...

We have not been to Disney in five years! Our annual trips stopped when kids got into high school. They are now all adults in college and we’re taking them back! I have booked a one bedroom villa at Jambo House but I’m second guessing myself due to sharing one bathroom with three young adult...

My husband and I bought our first contract earlier this year- 150 SS direct. After really contemplating things, we are looking to add on around 75 points early next year. We’ve decided that one bedrooms are more our speed. We do not have children yet, but are hoping to soon. We would like the...

Hey guys - first, this forum rocks. Just purchased my first DVC contract - 160 pts for AKL that came loaded this year w/April UY. I'm still pending with ROFR, but if all goes well, I'll have the membership/points in July or August. 🤞 Obviously, most of the rest of 2021 is booked, and some into...

Hello, Can those who prefer very specific rooms - like AKL club level- please let me know what it is that makes you always/frequently look for that reservation?

Based on current events, we are trying the whole honeymoon thing again for fall of 2021. 8 nights at WDW. Originally we had planned AKL Club Level, with CL’s most attractive feature being signature services and the CLFP program. If that goes away, we may just do without CL. Since our stay...

I’m a hoping that a friend will be able to join my family and I on a trip to Disney for a few days this summer. We have a two week reservation at AKL and my friend is hoping to join us for 3/4 days. She should be able to join our room, based on room occupancy. I’ve seen on other posts that...

Have you done any of the onsite activities at AKL, i.e. wine tastings, painting classes, etc? Want to do a stay-cation at AKL, and the list of activities sounds cool, but are they?

Hi! I am looking for an Animal Kingdom Lodge recreation calendar for this month (Sept) or for October of past years. Anyone know where to find them for specific months? TIA :)

We have a dinner reservation on our AK day at BOMA for 8pm. The park closes our day at 6pm. I have a party of 6 adults, 1 child and was hoping for some ideas of what we could do at AKL while we wait. Is there a place to order a cocktail or wine and watch the animals or near the firepit? Any...

Looking at DIS Boards pics for AKL . Pics posted in gallery are from 2013. Seeing more updated pics would be nice.

Does anyone have an upgraded room photo for a standard room at animal kingdom?. our room is not a room with a view.
