Last November my wife & I spent our WDW vacation checking out DVC resorts deciding where to purchase our 2nd resort. I read so many positive comments about AKV, and my wife was excited about a balcony view of giraffes and other wildlife, so it was the pre-emptive favourite. But when we got there and stepped out onto the balcony we were hit with an overwhelming smell of animal manure. It was so strong that it made our decision for us right there. We eventually bought VWL.
Since then I've read many posts about the pluses and minuses of AKV, (parking, distance to the parks, food services, quality of service provided by staff etc) but haven't seen one that mentions the animal smell. Has anyone else encountered this?
I grew up across the road from a small dairy farm, so animal smells are nothing new to me, but that day at AKV was bad. That was November, how bad would it be in the heat and humidity of summer?
