Could be that DVC only has rooms on 5 and 6 and it’s not worth opening the whole hotel or it could be others are using it. The fact that Mara was on the list of recalled cm locations, sounds like someone else is using it. MLS?
We have reservation for a value Studio at Jumbo House for end of July. What will happen to my reservation??
Is DVC going to 'actually confirm' that Jambo is remaining closed? I would just like to know so I can switch resorts if need be...between Stormalong Bay being closed and Jambo not being open our week long split stay to get these 2018 points used is becoming such a headache. Our reservation on the dashboard still says Jambo, so we haven't been moved yet.
If you are not the owner, you would contact the rental agency, not Disney or Member Services.We have rented points through a rental company at Jambo in Deluxe Studio July 4-11. Will we get automatically moved or do I need to contact Disney, the rental company? MDE still showing Jambo.

At this point, my advice is to do nothing. While it's likely that your reservation will be moved from the Jambo building to the Kidani building, DVC will contact the owner, who should then contact the rental agency who will let you know. Member Services (the group that handles points reservations) will not talk to anyone but the owner.
Keep an eye on your MDE account. Once your reservation disappears or gets changed, you'll notice it there. That's when you should contact the rental agent to see what's what and if you have any options other than a studio in the Kidani building.
Sorry. Not knowing is hard. But I don't think you will be able to get more information about your specific case until DVC cancels or changes your reservation. If past patterns hold, they have only been cancelling/changing things about 1 week in advance and only during business hours, M-F. Hope you know soon.
When Kidani fills up, they would have to open Jambo.So it seems that AKV owners are crossing their fingers hoping the Jambo opens - or, changing their reservation from Jambo. DVC appears to be saying that when demand dictates, they will open Jambo (per reported emails and conversations with DVC.)
The issue isn't that Jambo will not open when WDW opens - the issue is that DVC has blocked all Jambo reservations thru the end of the year - and every time someone cancels a room - it still remains unavailable.
So answer me this riddle- how is demand supposed to increase for Jambo house? Or is that their plan? To block rooms- thereby not allowing an increase in reservations and hopefully causing enough people to change their current reservations that it justifys keeping Jambo closed?
How is it even legal to block more than half of a years room reservations?
