Thanks for reading,
Wife won a trip to Disneyworld, 5 nights. We are upping that to 7. To be honest, Disney has been very slow in communication regarding the accommodations. I finally settled on Animal Kingdom Lodge but now after doing more research and understanding their only transportation is the bus, and is the furthest away it seems from MK along with the others I am starting to doubt my choice.
Our trip is in 6 weeks, so I am kind of understanding but when asked of other options I was told that the only other choice was Villas at the Grand Floridian. This will increase my 2 nights out of pocket quite a bit and I read there is a renovation going on. I am looking for advice on a few questions.
1. is AKL really that far away?
2. What is the renovation scene actually like currently, or more specifically going to be like first week of October.
3. is GF worth it, given proximity to resorts and access to Monorail even if a renovation going on?
Some details about plans if it helps

Some details about plans if it helps
- Family of 5
- Most Likely will spend majority of days in parks; possibly enjoy hotel pools
- Park hopper and will plan to do at least 2 parks a day
- I am a hotelier, so the hotel is important to me
- Any upgrade potential?
