AK Lodge - View Suggestion

I suggest you look very carefully at the map. Those inner sections have
views
that can be obstructed. We had an inner once and I lasted five minutes
in it before
I marched back to the reception. The "view" was of the neighbor's
balcony. Perhaps
if you try the arm that goes out just past the swimming pool you like
that and I
don't think it's as far. I love AKL; it's my favorite. And please do
remember, asking
is not getting at WDW. But if the room is too far a walk, etc, I find
the CMs very
accomodating. Lisa

OK I have a suggestion. Uzima Savanna is my favorite one. See if you
can request a room on the 4th floor (it's high enough up to see animals
better)
around the first arm of the hotel to the right. I am not sure the room
numbers there but facing away from the swimming pool and hot tub. Far
enough out, you will see plenty of animals. I hope you get your wish. I
agree they do what they can to
accomodate. I hope you let them know you can't walk long distances
too. Lisa
