AKL Concierge

I have been looking for the answer to this quesiton and just can't seem to find it....

Do all Concierge Rooms at AKL have a savannah view?

I was fooling around on the WDW website and got a rate of $3638.78 for 3 of us, 7 nights, and Park Hoppers. I feel like that is a great price for Sept. 28 - Oct. 5. I am hoping for free DDP. What do you think?

Thanks a bunch!

Lisa

No, they do not. Some of the rooms overlook the pool.

I don't think there is a way to guarantee a savannah view, I just got there and begged.

Re: AKL Concierge

You can guarantee a savanna view if you are not staying concierge by just reserving a savanna view room, but I am assuming you meant only concierge.

Re: AKL Concierge

Seems like you should be able to, if you are staying concierge though. I wonder why you can't. :(

Yes, book a Savanna view concierge room.

There are actually very few "real" concierge rooms at AKL, that is, those on the 6th floor that are only accessable via card key in the elevator and adjacent to the concierge lounge area. Literally 9 Savanna and 6 pool view. All the rest of the concierge guests are housed on the 5th floor, and they try to keep large blocks of Savanna rooms exclusive on that floor. Remember, all rooms on the Kudu Trail are Savanna View.

I have been checking into this and they will NOT guarantee a Savannah side room. They will only guarantee that you will have a concierge room! That is the only thing holding me back from booking AKL. I do not want to pay the price of the concierge and not have a Savannah side room.

Re: AKL Concierge

I'm attaching a floor diagram for the AKL. If you look, you can see how many more Savanna rooms there are than pool view, and I assure you, if yuo're paying a premium for your room, they're going to do their best to give you a premium room.

Wow! Thank you for posting that.

I am debating going concierge for our next trip and that has helped me a lot.

I thought it would help. I just happened to have that laying around my office.
