7 Month vs 11 Month...

[Pluto777]

I'm SURE this question gets asked, but I didn't see it so please forgive if it's repetitious. I'm a new owner at DVC and want to know What is the likelihood and what DVC properties will STILL be available (thinking studios only) around the second week of August at the 7 month window? Thanks!

drusba's predictions are from late 2016 and IMO, are still right on!

drusba's 7 month Availability Summary posted 10 13 2016

drusba's 11 month Availability Summary posted 9 23 2016

drusba's GRAND Villa Availability posted 12 9 2016

These are good threads to bookmark - can't begin to count the times I've referred to them for my own information! Thanks, drusba!

Thanks so much my friends! By the way, why are some buildings in AKL so much more sought after than others? What is "Jambo vs Kidani"? I f views are based on "you get what you pay for" - in other words, you pay extra for Savannah view, yes? so what difference does it make which building you are in?

Jambo vs. Kidani is a much more significant difference in location than exists at most resorts. Both offer Savannah views, but in general, Kidani's Savannah views are better. However, Kidani lacks a QS restaurant and is considered "away" from the main lodge area. It's about a 10 minute walk between the buildings.

It goes beyond the "near Hospitality House" or not at OKW. It's more like Carousel vs. Springs at Saratoga.

If you visit AKV, you'll get it.

I like Arusha Savannah, and I like the layout of studios in Jambo, and the Mara is there, so, if I want a Savannah studio, I always book Jambo.

In general, I book 1,2 bedrooms in Kidani because they have an extra bathroom.
