If the idea of sipping your morning coffee on your balcony while watching zebra and giraffe below is appealing to you, you'll love it! If the idea of trying a couple of wonderful restaurants with exotic african foods and wines appeals to you, you'll love it. If you are at all interested in a fantastic collection of African art, and a gift shop with wonderful african crafts, you'll love it. If the idea of sitting around a fire pit and sharing your day's experiences with other guests or listening to stories told by CMs appeal to you, you'll love it. If sitting in a hot tub at the end of the day and listening to exotic animal sounds appeals to ytou, you'll love it. If relaxing in a resort that feels like traveling to Africa appeals to you, well.... you get the idea.
If you want to run yourself ragged, spending all your time in the parks and maybe just taking a quick splash in the pool and a burger from the food court at the end of the day is what you have in mind, you'd probably be better off sticking with the ASMo.
From our experience, the fact that AKL is "out of the way" really meant nothing, since we hardly left it the whole time we stayed there. We did go to DAK which is right nearby, but other than that, we swam, sat by the fires, and watched animals most of the time we were there. It was a great end to our trip, and I think you'll come back happy you did it.
