If so does anyone know how many or where I can go to find this information out? I know they can convert 1bedroom+studio into a 2 bedroom as well but I was curious about the dedicated 2-bedrooms.
WANTED to add - this is for KIDANI and I just realized they don't have value view there - so it would be Standard View but my question still stands.

No dedicated 2 bedrooms value. 10 lock off 2 bedrooms and 8 dedicated studios.

At AKV, only Kidani Village has dedicated 2-bedroom villas. Those will be either Standard or Savanna View.
In Jambo House, all 2-bedroom villas are lockoffs.

All of the 2BRs in Jambo House are lockoffs. Kidani has both lockoff and dedicated 2BRs in both the Standard View and Savanna View booking categories.
ETA: Just an FYI: There is no such thing as "Value View". It is just "Value" not "Value View". It is less expensive because the rooms are smaller. It has nothing to do with the view which can be Sunset Savanna, pool or parking lot. You can actually get quite a nice view from a Value room!

Did not realize "Value" had nothing to do with the view. Thanks for the heads up. We actually have the reservation at Kidani Village - Standard. I'm assuming that's parking lot/non-savannah view.

The rest overlook the roadways, front entrance, parking lots and/or bus stop.

This was our "value" view! I'll sacrifice the 3' of space to save 8 points per night and still have this view:banana:.
(OK, it's not guaranteed, but I will take my chances:wizard:)

Do any of the 2 bdr Values in Jambo have a parking lot view? We'd LOVE a Savanna view and we'd be fine with a pool view, but a pl view would be a real bummer.
There are only 10 2br values in Jambo, right?

Most of the Value rooms face the Sunset Savanna or the pool but there are two 2BR lockoffs that face the parking lot. There is a great map of Jambo House here (http://www.parkinfo2go.com/dvc-akv/floor5.php). The Value rooms are the ones located along the Ostrich and Giraffe trails.

Great map! Thanks for that!
So are there four 2 bedroom values with Sunset Savanna view and four with Pool view?
Thanks!

MegYes so you have a 40% chance of getting a savanna view, a 40% chance of getting a pool view and a 20% chance of getting a parking lot view. Or said another way, you have an 80% chance of avoiding a parking lot view. But I think the Value rooms are pretty popular and are probably fully booked a lot of the time so that means some of the people who book a Value 2BR lockoff are going to get a parking lot view.
