AKL LITE unofficial FAQ thread#10 - I believe that's known as a 'Jambo Dozen'

[butternut]

Just returned from AKL. We enjoyed our 7 days there but yes it is quite tiring taking buses.That along with our room being far from the lobby,we returned home needing another vacation.We didn't find our room dark but you could say we were not in there much during daylight.The rooms are a little on the smaller side but quite nice and comfortable.Would i go back again?????? YES in a heartbeat!!

9 days until we check into our 2 B/R Villa with Savannah View at Kidani!

Really hoping that we don't get a room located in the furthest point possible.

I'm thinking we're going to be placed at the furthest of the furthest away from the lobby (which is fine since we have a car) at Kidani, but we do have reservations at Jiko & BOMA at Jambo.

Do we just drive over to the other hotel? Walking seems like it would be a time suck, but how long is the walk? Is it far? I haven't seen a distance estimated? Anyone with a fitbit have the mileage

But in all seriousness -- I'd appreciate any insight into how to hop between the hotels. Can we park between them? Walk?

Thanks!

There is a shuttle between Jambo and Kidani. It usually runs every 10 minutes.

You can also take a park bus to Jambo and the Downtown Disney bus back to Kidani.

It depends on which wing you're on in Kidani. If you're at the end on the side close to Jambo, it's a 7 or 8 minute walk. It was also a 7 or 8 minute walk to the Kidani lobby from the end of Kidani. No joke. So we found it easier to walk to Jambo for most things. Crazy. But if you're on the far other side, the quick drive over wouldn't be nuts either. It would be very practical actually.

I wonder how close we can get to our record breaking 362?

Guess we need to just keep posting!

Well if anyone has a "not to miss item" for Zurich or Basel Switzerland I am all ears and eyes...

We are staying at another Disney Resort on property, but wanted to bring the 3 toddlers by to experience AKL and what is has to offer (before buying our AKL contract). Can anyone suggest what there is available at AKL for a 3, 2, and 1 year old? I want to make sure that we love it before making this our our new "home". I've tried scrolling through the thread(s) and there is so much between all of them that I haven't been able to read every post.

Since there's now an AKL "LITE" #11, and this thread is over 250 pages, I will close this thread.
