I think it's important to set your expectations on the low side then you can be happy when it takes less time! We are staying AKL for the first time the mon and Tues after Thanksgiving. Planning on resort time, lots of meals, and evening at AK the first day and morning at AK the second day. That Sense of Africa tour sounds really awesome...too bad it doesn't work out with our dates without messing up all our ADRs.In February, the bus ride from POP to MK was exactly 30mins. I’m estimating the bus ride to be at least 40 mins from AKL.
We’re going into this trip knowing every bus ride will be longer. This is the reason we’ve never stayed at AKL before. I joke it’s located in Georgia! After 20 years of visiting WDW, we’re looking forward to experiencing a new resort. We’re ok with the distance, but well aware of it
How were the morning rushes? How often would you have to wait for the bus?It might be 5-10 minutes longer than the other resorts due to the distance. We have not had issues with the buses in terms of being available. For our two stays we found them better than POR (x2), BC and Poly in terms of availability. However, that can very much be the luck of the draw.
We are at 21....and the kids still do not know that we are going....mwahahaha.....20 days until I'm at Jambo house again this time with my kiddies and Club Level. So excited I can hear the drums beat already lol.

Lol Tried that last year didn't workout too well for me but this year they know we are going to Disney but they don't know which resorts we are staying. They do know it was none of the ones from last year so they were disappointed they couldn't get into the POP pool but I know they will love the AKl Jambo pool.

congrats on the pixie dust.!!!!! Just call in your request have it noted on your reservation near transportation/ lobby. When are you going?Hi all!
Just got notified that we have been moved to AKL from POR... I am happy we have gotten a free upgrade but also nervous as it looks much bigger than FQ. Where is a good location if we don’t want to be too far from the transport/lobby?

I have stayed one time at POFQ (albeit many years ago) and at AKL several times, IMO AKL actually involves less walking to the amenities than POFQ depending on where your room is located. All of the rooms in AKL Jambo are in the same building - so even though the furthest rooms at the end of the halls (called 'trails' at AKL) are further from the buses and the Mara (QS restaurant) and pool than the rooms closer to the lobby, your walk will be inside v. the outdoor walks from the room buildings to the lobby at POFQ.Hi all!

We just booked a late June 2019 trip to AKL, too! Happy vacation to you! It will be our 25th anniversary month and the first trip without our son (busy 20 yr old college student). It will also be our first time at a deluxe. We opted for a pool view since we think it will look "cooler" and more "refreshing" in the summer and will go see the animals another way.We are super excited!! We've booked our very first stay at AKL for June 2019!! We are staying at the Kidani Village in a 1 bedroom savanna view. Is there a place to find what I should send over for room requests?
Hi Rentayenta, we're going to AKL next June (2019) for our 25th Anniversary! <3I wish, I wish, I wish! We are going for our 25th wedding anniversary but no CL villas were available. It'll still be lovely with my instant. LOL.
