CL comparison between AKL and WL:
1) Lounge - WL takes this: Your in your own world and there's a lot of space, always empty tables, nice area, separate room for food. Watch MK fireworks from lounge deck, now that's cool.
2) Food - both have fabulous hot dishes though WL focused more on fish. So, appetizer time, they seemed to have more, BUT, AKL wins snacks and desserts hands down, - my son is missing AKLs Krispy treats, and WL has continually the same, though good. And they do have the trail mix baggie thing going on.
3) CMs-. WL has this in the bag. These people are super nice - Everywhere on the property.
4) Resort beauty and interestingness - (yes, I did just invent a word) - .AKL wins with all of the cool lobby exhibits like the big mask they make, animals, etc.,
5) Busses - Better service at AKL. Have waited 25 and 30 min. In hot DHS and Epcot to get back to WL, and although they don't always share, they sometimes do with contemporary or ft.wilderness.
6) Gift shop- AKL cause it really is one of the best gift shops, not much at WL, seems like a missed opportunity there.
7) Housekeeping and rooms- WL easy. There there for whatever you need, your in your own CL bubble, cool elevator down the hall to the QS. Because your right with them, there always trying to do turndown service or if you don't want it, give you ghiardelli chocolates, lol.
8) boat to MK or eating at CR or monorail resort at WL.
Bottom line they are both good in their own way, but I give WL the edge, especially can't believe how great the service is here.
But I think next time BWI cause you've got to try them all?!
