AKL Jambo House - Animal noises inside room?

[disneyfanforever]

My sister and her family are thinking about staying at AKL Jambo house, and she was wonderiing about the noise inside the room. One of her sons is autistic and has issues with noise at times. Obviously, there is noise when you walk out on the balcony in a savannah view but how about when the doors are closed? I think he would be fine as long as he can't hear anything with the door closes, and her other son would love seeing the animals outside his room! Is there much noise with the door closed compared to any other resort?

Also, I just read they are going to be renovating the rooms at Jambo while they would be visiting. Would that be an issue regarding noise inside the room? Also, they wouldn't block the savannah view in those room categories, would they? They definitely don't want to pay for that view and then not have animal views.

With the doors closed you will not hear the animals outside. Actually, the animals outside seldom even make noise.

We never heard any animal noises at any point.

We’ve never experienced any animal noise at AKL. Maybe because the animals don’t have predators and food is delivered on a regular schedule. Definitely bring noise canceling headphones …. You never know when music gets loud or show sets off fireworks. MK is by far the most unpredictable park for loud noises that bother my autistic grandson.

I agree with posts above - the animals are pretty quiet! I've spent a fair amount of time on AKL balconies and can't remember hearing anything out there, much less in the room.

Have you heard how typical it is to be seeing animals with the Savannah view? Is it basically all day?

Not guaranteed to be all day. The animals are called in at various times in the morning to have health checks, and when out they're free roaming so might not be outside your room at all times. The keepers do a good job of placing food in various places around the savanna, so if you spend several daylight hours, morning and afternoon, in your room, you should see animals. The animals are allowed to spend the night on the savanna if they wish, but they're hard to see in the dark!

And of course the species you'll see will vary depending on which savanna your room looks onto.

I’ve been tempted to try, but AKL seems so far from everything, and I’m worried we wouldn’t be spend a lot of daytime resort time to see the animals.

I know what you mean! However, there are plenty of viewing areas around the resort, so you could book a resort view room to save the $$ while still enjoying views of the animals when you were there. DH and I are at a point where we spend more time in the room and less time in the parks, so we really enjoy AKL.
