All are in Jambo at the front part of the building and have pool, parking lot or savanna view; you can request view but it is not guaranteed.

If you want to ensure a pool view, you could reserve a Standard View room in Jambo House. All Jambo House Standard View rooms have a pool view.

Does anyone know if standard-view 1BR villas at Kidani face the pool complex, or do they all have parking lot views?

TIA

Here are some balcony shots from a 1br value at Jambo (#5030, pool view). I loved the sunrise every morning! The pool view was great and we could see the top of Mt. Everest and even a bit into one of the savannas if I zoomed in

Hmm...now I'm rethinking my 2brm value in August. I have absolutely no luck with room requests (requested savannah)

Thanks ...Think ill splurge for the standard room so I dont get stuck with the parking lot view that would ruin my day.....and hey who couldnt use an extra 3 feet!!!!

The balconies of the Standard View rooms are also a bit deeper than the Value room balconies so you will have more room to move around the balcony while you are enjoying your pool view!

I never noticed that. And I spent 2 nights in a value then 2 nights in a standard view-my main reason was to find out for myself what the differences were. I guess that additional space on the balcony is pretty minor-either that or I'm not very observant!

I've heard (although unconfirmed) that the parking lot rooms are held for people who reserve on cash. I don't remember ever hearing of a DISer who reserved a value villa and got the parking lot view. Anyone here who can prove that rumor wrong, who did get a parking lot view on points?

Just note that from what I have seen that "parking lot view" for the values is not awful, you really see more trees and foliage outside than the lot in the distance.

I've read only two reports here that I can remember where members booking on points got the parking lot view. The first report was shortly after the Value villas were open for occupancy. The second report was more recent. So yes it has happened, but I'm surprised we have not heard more reports of it given how popular the Value villas are.

I'm particularly interested in this information. We are AKV owners and want to stay in Jambo House this coming Christmas. We want either a pool view or savanna view. Can someone confirm this for me, that in order to get a pool view, we would book a standard view room, and if we want savanna view, we would book savanna view? I'd appreciate. The value category is throwing me off.... Thanks!

I hear a lot of people saying that they don't get the views they request , should i request a parking lot view? maybe i would get lucky and not get it....lol i don't want one, but just wondering about my chances, does anyone know how many dedicated 2 bedroom standard view villas they have and what the views are at kidani village?

In Jambo House:
Value rooms have Sunset Savanna, pool or parking lot views
Standard View rooms face the pool area
Savanna View rooms face one of the three savannas (Sunset, Arusha or Uzima)
Concierge rooms face either the Sunset Savanna or the pool

In Kidani Village:
Standard View rooms face the pool or roadways/parking areas/bus stop
Savanna View rooms face either the Sunset or Pembe Savanna

Sorry, but we booked one night in a value studio room on points and got a view of parked cars. The was in February 2008 after a Disney cruise. It was a short walk from the lobby and very convenient, just a not so good view.
