This resort is simply magical! The lobby is stunning, the savanna breathtaking. I felt like a little kid, always checking to see what new animal was outside!
We paid for a savanna view and I think that’s the only way to go. We had giraffes outside our balcony constantly, in addition to birds, zebras and other incredible wildlife.
For the price, the rooms leave much to be desired but that’s Disney. The bathroom was extremely small (toilet and shower) and not well lit. The theming of the room is nice but I think more could be done. Our tv didn’t work (which I couldn’t care less about but my husband was hoping to watch golf on our downtime). For the price you pay, it would be wonderful if the rooms could be bigger and the bathrooms made to be luxurious, rather than standard hotel bathrooms.
The transportation by bus only is not ideal but you know what you are agreeing to when you book at AKL.
Overall, I think AKL is worth it for the savanna experience. It is truly unique and I would absolutely stay there again.
Pros:
The views, the lobby, two of some of the highest rated Disney restaurants on property, gigantic pool, magical atmosphereCons:

The Pandora world is amazing...how disney makes yiu feel that you are in other world is incredible. When its comes to the rides in Pandora, Flight of Passage is amazing and in my opinion worth the lines. On the hand hand Na'Vi River ride i can skip it all together. Did it once dont have to do again.
Pros:
Flight of PassageCons:

Fun fast coaster with lots of twists and turns. This ride does not contain loops and only requires a lap restraint. This ride is good for families as little ones fit between parents to feel safe but brave. While on Big Thunder make sure to look out for Galaxy’s Edge when on the climb up then turn back to look at a goat to get that dizzy feeling (not recommended if you are prone to motion sickness). This ride is the best in the West!
Pros:
Fun for one and all with great viewsCons:

Being a cardholder and having the photo pass is awesome. It worries me a little, but I think it's cool, that they use your magic band on the rides to get your photos on the app. So many opportunities for professional shots. And some can add "magic" to the shot. They do a great job.
Pros:
Magic, professional shots, no effort.Cons:
Disney "follows" you and your band.Review of Be Our Guest -Counter Service Lunch

Wow, what a fantastic place to dine in the Magic Kingdom! Have been here several times and highly recommend the lunch counter service over the dinner. It is less expensive and you still get all the magic. If you can, sit in the West Wing room to see the enchanted rose and experience something cool with the picture frame.
Pros:
Scenery, themed roomsCons:
