Review of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Concierge

We stayed here in early September for five nights. The cast members are unfriendly. The only time they paid any attention to us was when we checked in, and even then they seemed bored and distracted. The lounge is WAY overcrowded. Our room was on a different floor, far from the lounge. Ovbiously Disney can designate as many rooms as they like as CL this way, instead of the old model of doing it where there was a club level floor, and you would be limited in the number of guests making use of the lounge. At the AKL, if I did not go right up to the lounge first thing, we could not get a table. In the evenings, people would crowd around just waiting for the staff to bring the food out and they would descend upon the offerings as if they had never had food before. To get a glass of wine, you had to flag down a passing CM (EXTREMEMLY difficult as they walked by with eyes averted on their way back into the kitchen), who then acted surprised that you were asking for a glass of wine. The last straw for us was when, having paid in the upper hundreds for a savannah view room, we attempted to take our wine back down to our room to enjoy the view (as well as to just get some peace from the OVERCROWDED lounge), we were loudly SCOLDED by the desk CM who told us that THEIR wine glasses do not leave the lounge! Are you kidding me? EVERY hotel I've ever stayed at I have been allowed to take my wine back to my room. Even at the Courtyard by Marriott. We will never return to the CL there. EVER.
Pros:
The food itself.Cons:
Service (NONE), overcrowding, distance from room to lounge, unfriendly staff.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 09/26/2018

We have been coming to Orlando for the last ten years from the UK. We stopped off site for the first few years but since then have stopped on property which we absolutely love. This was our first stay in a moderate our previous vacations being at Old Key West and Saratoga Springs. We had heard some great things about French Quarter and we were not disappointed. Such a compact but homely resort with great New Orleans theming throughout. We had a pool view room which was perfect for myself and my husband. We used the buses as we did not hire a car and on the whole it was fine if very busy at times with just the two bus stops. Buses did occasionally go into riverside but mainly on an evening. The quick service restaurant is really good with all sorts of delicious things on offer including their famous beignets. The pool is fabulous and the area is very relaxing. The washing machines are numerous and although you have to pay for them (which you don't at Old Key West and Saratoga Springs) it is easy to pay by debit card. The boat to disney springs is a real bonus and we really enjoyed using it on many occasions. We enjoyed our holiday so much we are staying there again in a couple of weeks' time and would highly recommend it to anyone on a budget that doesn't want to splash out on the deluxe resorts but wants something a bit more than the value resorts
Pros:
Quick service restaurant, compact site, water taxiCons:

We stayed in a concierge suite on the fantasy. Our cruise was in October 2017. The room was amazing!! 1 1/2 baths with a soaking tub. Big living area with attached dining. Great balcony and a good sized bedroom. There were just 2 of us, no kids. The bedroom could be closed off which is great if you want to sleep in. DVD player in the living room and a fridge. The concierge lounge was right across the hall and it was amazing!!! The crew there was so helpful and friendly. We had access to the private sun deck. There is food in the lounge all day long and free drinks after 5pm. The second day we walked in they remembered what we drank! It was defiantly worth the money. You also get first dibs at excursions and private tables at dinner. The had 2 private parties on the sun deck also where we got to meet characters.
Pros:
Everything!!Cons:
The lounge could be a little bigger we usually could not get a table.Review of Rainforest Room

Everything! The stone chairs were the best.Cons:
It is a little expensive but worth it, especially if you stay on the ship during port times.Reviewed by Steph w Review Date: 09/26/2018

Our experience here was flawless. We were given a room that overlooked the MK, so we could see the castle and the nightly fireworks. The look on my niece\\'s face when she first stepped into the room and saw the castle was priceless!
Pros:
the included snacks were wonderful and much appreciated after being at the parks.Cons:

We were a party of five, but could only get reservations for two and felt lucky to even be able to get those. When we arrived and were making arrangements for meeting up again after the meal, a cast member didn't want to see our party have to split up so ushered us in and helped us with the ordering process. It was an excellent experience.
