Room for luggage in AKV Studio?

We will be doing a long, 2 week trip in August. The first 8 nights we are staying at BLT in a 2BR with family. When they leave, our plan is to transfer to AKV for the next 6 nights in a studio, though not sure if it will be at Jambo or Kidani. There will be 4 of us in the room. We will have 2 suitcases, 2 large rolling duffels, and an Owner's Locker. Is there enough closet space to store all that luggage? We don't want to be tripping over suitcases!

I've had more luggage than you're describing in a Jambo studio but never recall "tripping" over our luggage. Jamob only has an armoir, not a closet. plus storage in the TV chest.. I think you can tuck some of the luggage infront of the connecting door to the 1BR? If not, I think we had some bags under the sink with the luggage stand on the wall to its left... I've heard that Kidani has more sqft so you may want to consider Kidani if you're concerned with room space..

I stayed at Kidani in a studio in June. There would be room in the armoire, the closest and also in front of the lockoff door. Not sure if it was empty under the bed (some hotels put a platform under).

While it's true that a Jambo lockoff studio does not have a closet, the Jambo dedicated studios do and those provide additional storage space for your luggage.

If you're staying at Kidani however, there are no dedicated studios there.

We still haven't decided if we want to stay at Kidani or Jambo (that's a whole other set of questions I will ask when my booking window gets closer!). Thanks for the replies....they will definiitely be considered when we make our decision!

I've had a couple of dedicated studios at Jambo, both value and savannah view that also had a closet. I don't know if every dedicated studio there has a closet, but we're 2 for 2 on that score.

As this PP said, there are plenty of places to stash your luggage. When we stayed in a Kidani studio last month, we put ours in the bottom of the closet. We also had our Rubbermaid tub for our Disney trips with us, as well as a cooler, and we had plenty of room for everything.
