Stayed at WL last week for the first time. Had a CCV room, actually, on first floor - which was disappointing after requesting anything else (literally). But knowing it was just a request and not a guarantee, we just moved on and enjoyed our time.
The studio room was new and clean, and we loved the kitchenette.
Mousekeeping was phenomenal and waitstaff at Geyser Point and Whispering Canyon nailed it. More so than other locations we visited.
Stayed at AKL last year, so maybe our ability to be wowed was stunted, but we didn’t get that stunning entry we hoped for - but it was a beautiful lobby and well-maintained.
Photographers in lobby - without a line most times. Except about an hour before the
MVMCP when everyone is decked out!
Individual toiletries still available for us.
Boat transport was great - efficient and friendly.
We did a MK deluxe comparison with our kids (Contemporary, Poly, GF) and WL has everything we want/need. Will miss AKL, but we may be converts (unless we get a great deal at AKL to woo us back).
