AKL suddenly all booked up? Also wondering about OLCI options!
Hi,
I'm booked in a standard view room at AKL from the 28th April to 7th of May. I've kept an eye on the website to see if pool or savanna view rooms are still available (I'm sort of wishing I had booked one now because when I imagine staying there I imagine having a lovely view from the balcony which I know isn't guaranteed in a standard view room) - but since I last checked a couple of weeks ago, there is now no availability for anything apart from club level rooms. I'm assuming this is probably due to people being moved because of the building works at CBR starting on the 1st of May? I've always gone at off peak times when the resorts are a bit quieter so I'm a bit nervous about how busy a full resort will be! I'd heard on here that when you're checking in to AKL online when you're staying in a standard view room you should have the option of requesting the kudu or zebra trail - has this been stopped? It's not in either of the drop down boxes! |

I think they have limited the choices for online check in.
I wouldn't worry about the hotel being full - wdtc only get an allocation of rooms. Last year and this year I phoned disney and requested a kudu trail room,

Hi,
I've got the same issue! We are there from 28th April for 14 nights and I contacted Virgin last week as I'd changed my mind and wanted a savannah view and its completely booked up (in fact Virgin have no rooms left at all at Disney anywhere for my dates!) They said that I might be able to upgrade at check in as its Virgin's allocation that is full not necessarily the resort, but as I've heard that several people have got free upgrades to a savannah room from CBR I'm not holding my breath. I'm really annoyed at myself. I should have booked it at the time but I wasn't expecting the resort to be full.

Oh I might see you there then! I'm getting so excited now it's as close 😊 If I'm honest I was hoping for a free upgrade when I got there...maybe we'll just get bumped up to club level haha! I'd be perfectly happy with the kind of view Rescuer had though. I guess it must be fully booked up when we're there - eek!
