Just wanted to chime in here. I have owned at AKV since 2013, with 5 stays there; and other trips with stays at BWV, VGF, Poly, & BCV. Found something to love at each and every resort thus far. My son's favorite is VGF. I loved it there as well. But we love love LOVE our home resort of AKV. In fact, every trip, we find that we must return there on at least one of our days, just to visit. We love the immersive theme, the food, the sounds, the aromas, the interactions with the wonderful CMs. And of course, the animals. For us, it is definitely NOT a "novelty, once and done" experience. I tend to rent a car for our trips, as I prefer the convenience and freedom afforded by having my own transportation, as well as the ability to jump over to the nearby Target and Publix (or Marshall's) if we need anything. Jambo House is stunning and never disappoints. Kidani is intimate and lovely. Saana and the Mara are our favorite restaurants on property, hands down. I plan to add on at either SSR or AKV shortly. Just my 2 cents...
