In Jambo the standard view villas will be on the 5th floor on Zebra or Kudu trail.Jambo house!
Hi again, I was wondering if someone could do me a huge favour and let me know if there is any availability for a savanna studio Aug 20-29? We are about to settle on Aug vs Dec and this is the deciding factor! Aug 19-28 or 21-30 would also work for us.
Huge, gigantic thanks to anyone who can help answer this for me!
Actually board rules prohibit checking on availability. My guess though is that there is availability at Kidani and maybe at Jambo as those dates are a slower time of the year for DVC.
Whoops! I am so sorry!
Just booked my first DVC AKL trip Thanksgiving week '18! We've gone to Disney every year the past 11 years, but this will be our first as an AKL DVC owner. We booked in the Studio Savannah view in Jambo, not sure how/when to make special room requests, etc., so any tips will be greatly appreciated!
You can email your request at any time now to MS, just make certain to do it at least couple of weeks prior to your check in. Or you can call in to do it too.
I always request Sunset Savanna as my first request. It has the zebra and giraffe.Speaking of this, anyone have a good suggestion for Kidani recommendation? I don't mind being close or far away from the lobby.
Welcome Home to AKV!Just closed on a small resale add on at AKV-we closed on a resale purchase at GCV last month. Super excited! We stayed on rented points at a Kidani 2 bdrm a few years back for my first every DVC stay and I loved it so much. Except it was January of 2010 and literally freezing-we did not get to use the balcony for leisurely animal watching and wine drinking like I’d anticipated. Anyway, we mainly get to DL but am hoping to do every other year to to WDW-plan to add on as finances allow. So excited-and have to admit I’m excited to have a blue membership card and an official tote bag. Their marketing sure works
It's starting already... we've owned our DVC contract for 10 days and I just booked a weekend at AKV (got a value studio!!!) for Nov '18! My HS best friend will be at WDW for their first time and I really want to take my kids to MVMCP. Think I'll wait a few months before I mention it to DH (since we just booked Disneyland for July).
Does anyone know how many standard 1 bedroom views there are at Jambo? (or close to how many given that I don't think it has been verified how many reclassified views there are)
Actually, I’ve read that there were originally 10 standard view lock offs (so 10 1 br.s + 10 studios) and the reclassification added 24 standard view lock offs which were formerly savanna views. Likewise there were 3 dedicated studio standard views before reclass and 11 dedicated studios were reclassified from former savanna views. How accurate this info. is, I don’t know, but based on reports of which standard villas posters have gotten through the years it seems pretty accurate.I couldn't get the link to open but I was wondering for a rough idea. Thanks!
I like the standard view. We have had pool and partial Savannah and I like both. The pool view is pretty and the location is great. I like to walk down and see the flamingos and other animals in the area.

If my research & reading of the AKV Jambo map is correct 10 of the current standard view 1 br.s are pool/roof pool views from the lobby/Zebra trail - which is consistent w/ the original classifications and the other 24 are partial Sunset or Uzima savanna view from the lobby, Kudu and Zebra trail.
I’m rolling the dice for my next visit and saved points by booking standard view but hope to get a partial savanna view
