Hello! We just booked a stay for September 2023 at AKL and are super excited! I know that the resort is further out but was curious about how far it really is? We have 6 park days with hoppers and are also planning a pool/resort day. I don’t mind riding the buses and we will also have our car so could drive. Is it really as far as people say or does it just feel far out?
Also, is there any way to request a specific building? Hoping for a partial savanna view
And do the rooms really only have showers?
Well, there are covers over the bus queues at Kidani and at the parks, so you can stay out of the sun and rain while waiting for the bus to arrive. But no matter what, you’ll be walking uncovered between there or your car parking spot and the parks!
OTOH at Kidani itself you can park under the building, so at least no slogging to and from the car in the rain, and the car won’t heat up so much while parked at the resort.
I was more worried about wait times for the buses and additional stops they may make, especially in the middle of the day.Well, there are covers over the bus queues at Kidani and at the parks, so you can stay out of the sun and rain while waiting for the bus to arrive.

We tend to drive when at Kidani, except to MK.
When I stayed at AKL in May the only wait time that was higher than average midday was when we tried going back from HS around lunch time. We waited about 40-ish minutes for a bus despite seeing multiple Polynesian and Fort Wilderness busses come by. Every other time, wait times were between 10-20 minutes on average. As for additional stops, the bus stops at Kidani first and then Jambo when coming from the parks whereas it stops at Jambo first and then Kidani when coming from Disney Springs.
has it shipped already? you might be able to cancel it
Alas, it’s already been delivered. She didn’t realize it in time, and I haven’t used Amazon in days.
You can still
That’s what I’ll do then. Thanks!
For anyone else who ends up in this situation, guest services will automatically return deliveries that aren’t linked with upcoming reservations after a day or two!
We'll be there 7/27-7/31!
