We stayed in a 2BR savannah view in April '08.
Even though I have stayed at other Disney Vacation
Club resorts many times in the past, this
experience exceeded all my expectations. The rooms
were very roomy and the service was exceptional.
The view was unbelievable (room 5431). We had a
spectacular view of the savannah and saw all types
of animals constantly. My 2 year nephew would
awake each day and run to the glass sliding doors
to see what animals were around. His excitement
each time he looked was well worth the cost of the
vacation.
The Boma restaurant (reservations strongly
suggested) has a great dinner buffet with many
African dishes and a big selection that even
satisfied my son who is very picky. We were lucky
enough twice to get in without reservations (I am
not a good planner) with just a short wait.
The wait for buses to the Disney theme parks were
very regular and again we may have been lucky but
never waited longer than 10 minutes. I had rented
a van for the week but used it very sparingly.
One of the biggest thrills for my 14 and 16 year
olds was that both the Jonas Brothers and Miley
Cyrus were staying at the resort at the same time
we were there. My son was swimming in the pool
with the Jonas Brothers which he thought was
great. There were crowds by the entrance a few
times but it didn't seem to bother the flow to and
from too badly. I guess that is the price you pay
to stay at the same place as these celebrities.
Again, from start to finish, we had a great time
and we are looking forward to staying there again
when we return. This is my new favorite Disney resort.
