Thanks for posting the beautiful pictures. We are taking our first trip home to AKV next fall. I can't wait! We go to WDW every other year, and we used developer's points to stay at SSR last fall. I am making my reservations in 2 weeks. The dedicated 2 BR (savanna view) is what we are thinking about reserving. We had originally thought about doing the 1 BR, but I would love for my kids to have their own beds (not the pull out sofa and sleeper chair). I feel like I'm being way too extravagant, but with going every other year, I feel like I'm entitled to.
BTW, where was your room located? We are wanting to be close to the pool and lobby, as long as there is not a lot of noise. That's one must--a quiet location!
