I just switched to AKL this morning. I was originally booked in a pref room at CBR, but a standard room at AKL was only $12.97 more with the 2020 discounts...so it seemed like a no-brainer. It's not my first time to stay at AKL. I stayed there back in 2013...booked a bunk bed room with a pool view and wound up with a bunk bed room with a really nice savanna view. In fact, I recall having three savanna options when putting in my room requests for that trip. Being in a standard room this time, room location seems to be the only thing I can request...which is understandable. Thinking close to the lobby is my best choice, but any insights or thoughts on things that may have changed since 2013 would be appreciated.
Doubt I'll have the awesome balcony view this time, but who knows...maybe I'll get one and have a new favorite AKL animal pic to top this one from our last stay (still cracks me up)...
I'm with you. I switched over from POFQ this morning. We have a standard view. I started my online check-in and requested upper room, close to lobby. But when I was talking to a CM today booking my ME I asked if I could put in a partial-savannah room request. So we will see. I am just happy to BE at AKL this time. If I get just a regular standard view room I'll be okay, it's what I paid for. But but but.... I'm reading of multiple people getting upgraded to savannah or partial-savannah so there is a little room for hope! We are surprising our kids with this trip and they are going to go bananas when we tell them what resort we are staying. 117 more days!!
