Hmmmm, it's very difficult to try and compare the AKL to the DLH. In my opinion, one gets better value-for-money in WDW resorts, but being the flagship hotel with an unbeatable location makes it quite easy for some to justify the extra expense of the DLH in Paris. If extremely easy access to the parks would be very useful, then the DLH may fit the bill. With three young children we found it great to be able to pop back for a break so easily, as the hotel is literally a part of Magic Kingdom. If you don't mind a bit of a (very nice) walk, then Hotel New York or Newport Bay Club may be better. They both have nice theming and great pools. Take a look at them all and see which one suits your family's needs the bestjonkatony said:We were at the AKL 11/8/05 to 25/8/05, were you there then? We adored the place, were you on a savanah? did you eat at the Boma? We felt the extra money spent at AKL to be well worth it , would we feel the same about a stay at the Disneyland Hotel?
Sorry for so many questions
