2 Bedroom Partial Savanna View Rooms at Kidani - Which #?

[squacken22]

We're heading to WDW in a few weeks and have a 2 bedroom reservation at Kidani. The Savanna View rooms were all booked, but we were hoping to put a request in for a partial Savanna View Room. Can you anyone provide room numbers or blocks that have these? Thank you!!

You can use the link below to get an idea of views (select a room type and then it will show you the view of all they have classified as such):

See this Kidani room map https://www.wdwinfo.com/maps/Kindani_Village_Map.jpg. Lobby faces west so when facing the map, the left side is the north wing and the right side the south wing. Each wing has three elevators located at the red AED signs along the building. There are no standard rooms on the east side of the building where all rooms face the Sunset savanna.

The standard view rooms are those: (a) on the south wing facing west in the first four building units from the lobby; there are no rooms on that side of the building in the rest of the building units on the south wing; (b) rooms facing west (front entrance and pool area) in the first three building units from the lobby on the north wing; (c) in the fourth building unit from the lobby on the north wing in which about half the rooms are standard view and half savanna view; the standard view rooms in that building have a partial Pembe savanna view; (d) all rooms facing the Pembe savanna in the sixth and seventh building units from the lobby on the north wing are standard view but have full, not just partial, Pembe Savanna view, and the elevator that is between those two building units is the Pumbaa elevator.

If going through DVC, you cannot request a partial savanna view with a standard view room. If you attempt that request, you are likely to just be told that you need to reserve savanna view to get a savanna view room. Instead you need a different location request to make through Member Services. Probably the best location request you can make to get a savanna view with a standard view room is to request a room near the Pumbaa elevator. Just note that if you succeed in getting that request, your room will be a very long way from the lobby and bus station (the Kidani building is about 2/3 mile long)
