We checked in on Sunday, arriving about 12:15pm and our room was ready. We are in a Standard 1 bedroom....surprise we are on the Savannah in the front of the resort, right above Pumba garage. We have had tons of animals out our balcony to look at. I would say the only thing that does not come over this way is Giraffe and Zebras which they seem to keep in the back.
My boys love it. My youngest was not happy about coming here, we stayed at BLT in April and he loved it there. But he is quickly coming around.
The 1 bedroom is very nice. I think the living room/kitchen is a bit smaller than BLT. We had a 2 bedroom at BLT, so my boys are missing there on room, but the 3 of them are doing well with the pull-out sofa and chair. I love the Master bath it is huge. I really like the theming here. I have to say Jambo house is nice, but it so crowded there, especially having Boma. It gets very crowded at dinner time over there. Kidani is nice a peaceful.
We went to Kidani pool first day very nice. The boys loved the slide and the water play area. We went over to Jambo house pool on Monday, much bigger but slide at Kidani is better.
Had dinner at Boma our first night, the boys did there best with the menu, funny they had no problem with the desserts. I loved the corn chowder. I had a bit of everything and enjoyed it.
We are not going to any parks this trip. We are just taking it easy before our 3 night cruise on the Dream on Thursday. We are praying it all works out with Hurricane Irene on her way.
We went to ESPN Zone for dinner last night. My youngest is a sports fanatic and has been begging me to go there. We did not have a great experience getting there and getting back. We took a bus to the Studios, but there were thunder and lightening in the sky so the boats were not running. After waiting at the boat for about 20 minutes, we went for a bus very busy because of no boat. ESPN was great, but when we went to get back there was a long line for the boat back to the studios. There were 4 boats in a row for EPCOT, but none for the STudios finally after 45 minutes we got the boat.
We went to Blizzard Beach today...and the weather was perfect. The crowds were not too bad. My DH said except for Summit Plummit the lines were pretty quick. I only rode the family slide and we went right on. We left about 3:00p, and got back to Kidani just before the skies open with a bad thunderstorm for about a half hour.
Praying it works out for our cruise. Tomorrow....Downtown Disney...the boys are going to Disney Quest and we will probably have dinner down there.
Doing WDW with the parks....love it....it is so relaxing. I am so glad we joined DVC last year!!!
