Everyone's wants are different, I will walk you through some things to consider when making a room request at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge using the TouringPlans.com Room Request Feature available only to their subscribers.

Super helpful video. It helped us on our last few trips. Thanks!

[@ShannonFord]

Great to hear! Thank you for sharing!

[@frankcarrillo190]

I am staying club level in Nov 2024. Thank you for letting me know where I will be staying. Since I go alone they always give me the King room. I am grateful to know my two possibilities. I am a Shann Fan.

[@ShannonFord]

Thank you for your continued support XOXO

[@frankcarrillo190]

I plan to book June 8 2022 for Spring Break 2023. Again Shannon has given me valuable information to book Club Level Savanna View at the AKL. I am grateful. Thank you!

[@ShannonFord]

You are very welcome

[@michellemercer5300]

Thanks again for doing these! In July, we are split half at AKL and the other at Riviera- your videos have been super helpful. The information provided and request feature added so much to our Feb 23 and Aug 22 stay because we were in perfect rooms for our family! Hopefully the new labeling of room types at Deluxe resorts doesn't disrupt too much of your hard work.

[@ShannonFord]

I don’t think it has. I still need to do a video for the new Grand Floridian building. But that’s it. And thanks. These videos came purely out of frustration of hearing people give their opinions of the “best” room, not taking into account the person’s needs/wants. So I love hearing that it’s been helpful

[@glenwale3294]

Super video. Thank you

[@ShannonFord]

Thanks

[@Spider-Manfan555]

Thanks so much

[@tr925tr]

Thanks for this, so much great information. Not sure why you keep saying “…if your in this or that room you’re probably not watching this video.” I don’t know, maybe I’m an oddball, but I’ve got a two bedroom club level suite booked for July and am totally watching your videos. It’s KZbin University all the way, lol. xoxo

[@ShannonFord]

LOL. You may be the odd man out. I find most people in higher level rooms do the least amount of research. My value resort videos are waaaay more popular than any of my Deluxe. Have a wonderful trip’

[@feliciak7189]

Great video! I’ve been going back and forth with a Savannah view or Standard view and whether it’s worth the up charge! What do you think?

[@ShannonFord]

We never willingly pay for view. There are enough partial Savannah views to try and get one without the price tag. But as long as you won’t be disappointed if you don’t get one

[@wendylee3859]

@shannon, Why do you prefer the sunset savana over the arusha?

[@mundoraton9025]

Hi. Which room would you recommend for a club level, 2 bedroom savanna room closets to the lobby elevator? 3481 seems to be the winner due to the fact that it’s close to everything. The view of the Savanna seems a bit obstructed. Is 3481 close to where they have the club level snack and drinks? Thank you.

[@ShannonFord]

It's been a while since I made this video and I really don't remember. I try and make recommendations in each category in the videos.

[@donnah9331]

Great video! Question, are the king bed, pool view rooms in the Zebra building newly remodeled? For example, is room 4432 remodeled?

[@ShannonFord]

I'm not sure about being remodeled. rooms are remodeled all together. So if one is remodeled, they all are done within the same time frame. Only exception would be hotel side vs DVC. They may have different schedules

[@donnah9331]

Thank you, Shannon for your reply!

[@kenney1050]

Thanku for most informative video. Its all crystal clear but somehow the number of baths are omitted. It would be a bonus if this is included as its as important as the number of rooms. Pls be kind enough to let me know which accom has a 1bedroom with 2full baths. Much obliged. Stay safe stay cool from the sun. P.s.I love the colour of your eyes

[@ShannonFord]

This is the Lodge, the hotel side. There are only a few suites. Otherwise, it’s mostly regular hotel rooms with one bathroom

[@kenney1050]

@@ShannonFord thanku for prompt reply. You kindly mentioned a travel agency but did not specify it. Im interested to click its website and see if i can use them for my upcoming holidays.i reiterate my thanks.

[@ShannonFord]

@@kenney1050 while I am not connected with any travel agency, I personally use TouringPlans Travel. When you book with them, you get a year subscription to TouringPlans which allows you to make the room request. Their website is touringplans.com/travel I personally recommend Sarah, Michelle or Annette

[@kenney1050]

Hi, neighbor! (Coral Springs here.) Going in October, the Village, Deluxe Studio with Savanna view. Waiting to watch the part here on making a request. AJ says the Zebra Trail, Urusha Savanna View is my best bet if I get lucky.

[@ShannonFord]

You are staying in Kidani?

[@Ira88881]

@@ShannonFord Yep. And my head is spinning from all this. First time at AKL.

[@Ira88881]

@@ShannonFord I have to find that room view site you were using. It’s not on their Reservations site, or I’m just an idiot and can’t find it.

[@ShannonFord]

@@Ira88881 ok, then this is the wrong video. There is one specifically for Kidani Village. This video does you no good

[@Ira88881]

@@ShannonFord I looked in your library and couldn’t find it. But like I said, I’m an idiot.

[@amygarcia8402]

How far in advance would you recommend putting your request in?

[@ShannonFord]

More than 30 days out. Anything more won’t make a difference, but you do t want to forget. I put it in as soon as I book
