    HI! We've (myself and DD9 & DS11) stayed the last 5 years in either Value or Mod. Looking to try something new. What would be your choice, AKL or WL? Atmosphere,convenience, transportation, etc... would be staying in late July/earlyAug. You're all GREA

    The Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Wilderness Lodge both have great reviews for different reasons.  My choice would be to reserve a room at the Wilderness Lodge as it does tend to be more convenient since you can head to the Magic Kingdom via boat launch and also get to the Contemporary and Fort Wilderness using the boats.  All other points on property can be accessed with the Disney buses.

    The atmosphere is awesome and you will feel like you have been transported back to the wilds of the western states.  The lobby has a large fireplace and a few hot springs and of course Old Faithful is outside ready to erupt on its regular basis.  The pool is adequate and the grounds are beautiful.  I enjoy a resort that is on the water so you can use the water recreation options.
