i was there last week and didnt notice any construction anywhere in jambo house (we were staying at DVC in jambo). i'm not sure about kidani though. there is still quite a bit of construction going on there though. there are no actual bus stops there at the mo.

At Kidani they are working on the bus stops right now, but those are in front of standard views and not savanna views. We had a savanna view, and there was absolutely no sign of construction anywhere to be seen across the savanna. The construction was really not bothersome at all. Looks like the bus stops will be nice when they are finished.

We were there in June and they looked fine. The only issue was that the DHS stop wasn't covered. What are they doing?

Right now, there is only 1 bus stop, which is underneath the main hotel canopy where taxis, buses, guests, etc. drop off. It looks like there will be several canopies off to the side for each theme park.....this will be a lot better because the 1 bus stop got pretty crowded at times. Sometimes the buses would be lined up waiting for a place to pull up.

Anyway, you don't have to worry that your savanna view will be obstructed by construction, at least not on the Sunset Savanna side.

One issue I noticed in June at the bus stop was it was difficult for some drivers to do the u turn to get back out after pickup. Some had to backup.
