I love Zebra Domes. There are times that I will drive to the AKL just to pick up some Zebra Domes. I've even made it a point to drop some off at the resort entrance gate for the Guards. They really appreciate the kindness! More than anything, I really enjoy staying at the AKL and always seem to get the Savannah View which is really cool! Enjoy your stay at the AKL!
We stayed there in June and really love the rooms and grounds and love the Boma breakfast Buffett. The only issue we had was the bus schedule. We had to wait much longer than any other hotels that we have been too. Even to and from the parks seems like buses were few and far between. Thanks for the insight!!
Sorry to hear that was your experience with the bus. 😞 We did Boma for dinner and LOVED it! Wanted to do the breakfast, but opted to save it for some other time.
Stayed numerous times and although I love this resort, esp the artwork, the view, the restaurants, it is always the absolute worst for housekeeping (we’ve had rooms just downright dirty, crayons in beds, food left in cabinets and, of course, lack of upkeep. I always feel that DVC members get the less ideal rooms which is sad. Great video! Love your expertise.
Omg brings back so many memories. AKL has some of the lowest points per nite. I don't care if they ever renovate(kidding, not kidding). It is an amazing place to stay. Incredibly impressive resort. The most relaxing vibe in the kingdom.
All your stays make me want to become DVC member!! Love the very in depth reviews that always include desserts. Animal Kingdom has never done it for me due to the distance of all other parks except for AK, but that Savannah view might change my mind in the future. Looks relaxing and calm and worth it.
We are so glad that you enjoy our reviews! Ya, this resort is a double edged sword. It's great for a lot of reasons, but also not for a number of reasons. More to come, of course.
Beware…trying a deluxe stay is the first step to being a DVC member (yes we are DVC members). Once you get a taste of a deluxe room, especially if you try a one bedroom with washer/dryer you will never enjoy a normal hotel room (yuk!). Enjoy your trip!
Love these videos, not dvc yet but I hope to be one day! Just rented points to stay at the Riviera and loved it. Would love to see you guys stay there.
Thanks! We have done a couple stays at Riveiera including a Tower Studio and a 1BR Villa. We've also spent a lot of time sharing our thoughts on Riviera here on the channel, so you can go check that our too. Just search "2 Foolish Mortals Riviera" and that should pop up most of what we've done to date. 😀
That would make sense to me if they didn't have spotlights on the building lighting up the savannah at night. . . then again IDK the facts here or the reasoning. Assuming that is the case though, light placement could definitely have better in this room. I think that would have helped a lot, even if the light temp didn't change.
@@2foolishmortals The note about lighting is correct. If you look online, you can find articles about how the lighting is set to be part of the experience. The spotlights simulate natural moonlight.
I wasn’t a massive fan of this resort. While the theming and detail is amazing, I felt like the darkness of the whole resort not even just the room the lobby is very dark and I also felt like the animals are very hit or miss. It’s nice but not for us
This is our home resort! We stay here the most! My college age children still insist on staying here :)
I can see why! This resort is something else!

If you like those,try the dessert at the outpost in Epcot!!, better and cheaper
I have heard about that and I think I might need to go give it a try!

WOW! We definitely aren't alone then! We had a very similar experience. Such a shame. Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed. 😀

It's definitely a vibe all it's own!

We’re staying at AKL in a deluxe studio next month. I’m super excited, I was able to rent points. This will be our first time staying deluxe.
We hope you have an AMAZING stay!

Serious pool next to a pretty good breakfast quick serve...
Sana'a for din-din, please...
YES!

Disney's Pop Century Resort rules!!!
HA! Sympathy cake! 😂
Yuuup. lol
A comment I read said the dim lights are for the animals, not sure if that’s true. We’ll be staying at Kidani in December.

@@brianb6060 Interesting! I'll have to look that up and read more into it. Wish they would have had a tidbit about that in the room. Thanks.
Dude you have my shirt 😂
I love that sweatshirt!
@@ramen-noomerals Thanks!
I was wondering if anyone else collected the themed chocolate medallions. I was thinking about getting some.
@@rickvbeck1 Collecting chocolate medallions? Like saving them?

I have some strong feelings about this resort. More on that during our check out vlog, but I hear you 100%!
