For me too, and I'm actually thinking about an early Dec. stay at AKL, but am put off by the distance from the rest of the parks and other resorts I want to visit, such as the Poly and the GF.

I love AKL and just being away from everything I think it is a great idea for the family to get away from the craziness. It is going to be fun for all.I am so excited Brandi! I was in the air over this even though I had booked a BB last December. I am a bit nervous about the parks with regards to SWGE, but I figure that if I book FP for every day we can get the heck out of Dodge if it is too crazy.
L has never taken a vacation before, and K was there when she was about 5, however that trip was a fiasco for Mom, so it was awful for her. I hope that by staying at AKL we can escape the stimulation that WDW is, and the girls can enjoy the animals and pool. I would love to book CL, but I cannot justify the cost this time.
Now....to figure out how to get that glass of wine that goes with their DDP! LOL!!!!
Thanks for your encouraging comments. You've given me something to think about!I do not find it si really the issue some feel it is. No matter where you stay, you are at a distance to some parks. I use Lyft if I want to reduce travel time to a resort for dinner.
WE stayed there starting on January 1 on our first trip back with my DGD, and that resort is hands down one of the most stunning Holiday resorts I have ever encountered It is also a respite from the Holiday crush that is inevitable at the Epcot or Monorail resorts during that season because it is off of the beaten path.
December@dgbg100106 please add me to the list.

TP’s map must be very dated! When they first converted the 5th floor at Jambo House to DVC most of the standard views overlooked the pool - so along the lobby and on Zebra trail. Later they reclassified several villas from savanna view to standard view over on the Kudu trail side of the resort (they also adjusted the point charts.)We arrive in 6 days and I'm getting nervous about the construction! My parents are joining us and my Dad can be a bit of a grumpy old man. If he can hear a lot of construction noise in his room, I won't hear the end of it for YEARS! lol
We are staying in a DVC deluxe studio standard view. According to the TP map, there are only 21 of these rooms and most of them are on Zebra trail. Any construction updates from people there now or just back?
The reason you can’t find an answer is that Disney doesn’t usually publish timelines for renovations. I feel confident I can say that it will not be complete this year, unfortunately.I have been searching, but can't find an answer -- when are the renovations due to be completed at Jambo? Hoping that the construction is finished by early December!
I love AKL and just being away from everything I think it is a great idea for the family to get away from the craziness. It is going to be fun for all.
