Wow! The malfunctions are following you guys. Sorry about Luke's fall (hope he's doing better) and sorry about all the trouble you had just trying to check in. What a nightmare. They should have had a back up plan with the computers.

I think because we had never actually stayed club level, we didn't think that maybe we should complain to be allowed upstairs until we were up there and saw all the goodies.

And the Sanuk flip flops! Aren't they the best! LOVE THEM!!

Sometimes I wish I were a bit testier when it counted. And the flip flops are perfect! them!

I'm hoping when Disney responds that I can better understand why they weren't using a back up method as MinnieMary here mentioned that the Polynesian was using on the very same day.

I do hope it's not a new trend.

June 7 Part 2

Room #6206 was across from check in and just a few rooms down from the corner. Luke opened the door and “Beautiful!” Before scrutinizing the room, I ran to the balcony to see what kind of view we had. I thought I knew based on the side we were assigned. I was right as we did indeed have a savanna view. No animals were roaming around when we first walked out, so after a view quick shots of our view, I headed back into photograph all parts of the Club Level Studio.

Right Side



Back to the left side to show that it was an obstructed view



But the savanna was right down there!

Back into the Studio itself



















See the hidden Cam in the above two photos.







This is a close up of the card with the little towel mouse on the bathroom counter.



Light fixture



Luke is on the phone with Bell Services to get all of our luggage delivered. He was patiently waiting for me to chronicle the room in photos without all our stuff messing it up. He is a sweetie!










Luke is keeping his feet up as they were both swelling.







These photos are in the exact order I took them. Sometimes I am very hyperactive as you can see here I’m jumping all over the room.









This wallpaper was on the bathroom walls. Very !

When I was done preserving the room on film, I grabbed my camera, both camera lenses, my notebook and a pen. Then I plopped down in a chair on the balcony to await the wildlife and take notes for the day. Luke laid down for a much needed nap and Stefanie watched Disney TV.

Up Next: Will I see any wildlife? Or Will I give up to check out the lounge?

Your room looks great! Too bad Lukes foot was still bothering him. Did you guys consider getting a wheel chair?

[Dlandmom2]

Ooo, I'm curious what you'll do next, but I'm so glad to see you all finally relaxing in your room...and with a savannah view! Poor Luke with his feet up I sure hope the rest of your stay was relaxing and enjoyable for all!

room!

[doccoc2002]

Your room looks awesome...so does the view very cool!
Sorry Luke's feet are bothering him. What a way to start your Disney trip I hope you see some animals soon but I would love to see the Lounge!
I can't wait to hear about the transportation to/from the Parks 'cause that is the only thing holding me back from AKL.
Can't wait for more!!!

No, he said it didn't really hurt that bad, but the swelling went down whenever he sat down.

I'm pretty sure I wrote down in my notes how long we waited each time for a bus, so that should make the TR, too.

The boards must be having issues as a couple of you had triple posts.

First off, I felt very disappointed for you that it took so long to check in to the AKL! There is just no excuse for them not to allow your family to go up to the Club Level to use the lounge! Your room looked beautiful and it was nice that you got a savannah view (I'm assuming that you hadn't booked one?) Sorry that Luke's toes were so sore but hope that it didn't bother him the entire trip. I know how painful it is to have any kind of foot problem with all the walking that you have to do in Disney

It is not possible to book a savanna view at Club Level. You take what you get. So we got very lucky or maybe the magic had finally returned.

Great pics of the room and resort lobby makes think I may be looking in the right direction if I can get DW to go back next year as need club level at AK to do some of the SAFARI"S I think she would love

[guerns17]

Lovely room! So cozy...it is so nice to have your own little home
I hope you were able to see lots of animals from your balcony!!
Can't wait to hear more!!!
