2 questions about Animal Kingdom

[mommyoftwo08]

We were lucky enough to snag a concierge room for May 2010 for 9 nights. Other than access to the actual lounge and being able to book the special safari are there any other perks of staying concierge? I thought I read somewhere that we had daily housekeeping, turn down service, and robes in the rooms, but wasn't sure if that applied to DVC.

Also, we'll be staying Kidani for the first time in September. We only have a studio that trip and we're there for 9 nights. I'm hoping someone has a resort map so I can see where the laundry rooms are. I checked out wdwinfo.com but they only have a map of jambo.

Thanks for your help!

Here's what's posted on the member website about the AKV Concierge Level rooms:

Kilimanjaro Club Concierge accommodations include the following Kilimanjaro Club Level Services:

• Advanced Walt Disney World itinerary planning service
• Personalized front desk and Concierge service
• Daily housekeeping service and evening turndown with chocolates
• Secured key access to 6th floor and Club Level lounge
• Weekday newspaper delivery of USA Today
• Assistance with special events planning and shopping
• Club Level Lounge refreshments

Plus, only AKV Concierge Guests can book the Sunrise Safari. You would get a discount on the Wanyama Safari which is open to all Animal Kingdom guests. You can also book the Wildlife Discovery Excursion which is open to Club Level guests at all WDW resorts.

Thank you! I didn't even think to check Member Services website for the concierge info. I appreciate you posting it.

When you get closer to 90 days from your Concierge stay, you will want to contact the Itinerary Planning Office at AKV. You can reach them by email at animal.kingdom.lodge.itinerary.planning@disneyworld.com or by phone at (407) 938-4755.

The laundry room in Kidani is just down the hall from the lobby, just beyond the arcade and the Community Hall.

Thank you all for your responses. I guess I'm going to pack 9 days worth of clothing to be on the safe side as far a laundry is concerned. I don't want to be treking thru the lobby with my dirty clothes!

Laundry is free and will give you time to relax by the pool. We were kinda excited about this and not have to fly with big suitcases for our 9 night trip in Oct.
