Well we just got back from our first trip to the new Kidani village at AKL and all everyone could say was WOW. We got a great room 7210, which was a one br with SV. it was right by the door to go for the buses and 5 doors down from the community hall. While it had a lot of traffic, the way the rooms are set-up you can not hear it. The Master bathroom was the size of a regular hotel room and the pull out chair in the living room was a great 3rd bed for DD. While it was not crowded last week, we were able to enjoy this because schools in Ct had that as Spring Break, they had qall the activities going on at the pool and in the CH
A lot of activities were going on and my 2 DS felt that this was the best community hall, their favorite part of the DVC. About 4:00 me and DW would open a bottle of wine and just sit on the balcony and watch the animals, really nice.
The second bathroom was great for the "hurry and get ready to go to the park" portions of our trips.
Anyone have any questions please feel free to ask away.
DS9 has stated that this is by far his favorite and only wants to stay here from now on. Everyone seemed to agree in the family.
The layout for the 1 bedroom has the master bathroom and the extra bathroom between the hallway and the bedroom or kitchen. This was a big blocker for any noise. The walks look very long and as long as your on the side of the pool it shouldn't be to bad.
Have a great trip. The boys loved the community Hall and the story telling each night by the fire.
Lower is better in the way of views. 2nd floor seemed the best you were eye level with the giraffes and were able to see the whole savanah. The top floors were looking down and the trees seemed to hide some of the animals.
Walking was about the same as any of the DVC resorts. While the end of the resort seemed to be in another zipcode the parking lot is set up great where you park your car underneath your room area. But I would ask for a room close to the lobby.
My request was for a low level close to lobby and I got both which was great.
Yup, you mentioned everything exactly how I felt when I did my LIVE feeds in ROOM 7216 for Kidani Village/Jambo House from Easter Sunday April 04-09, 2010 at
