AKV 1 bedroom question

[iX.]

Trying to be a good netizen and do all my research, but I'm a little unsure after watching videos etc. about how many bathrooms these units have.

If things are labelled correctly I've seen both 1 and 2 bathroom setups at 1br AKV. I've seen at least one video at Jambo that had two baths and one that didn't. Kidani seems to always have 2 bathrooms in the 1 br villa.

A 1br with 2 bath areas would be excellent... so what's the scoop, how do you get that or avoid getting one with 1 bath?

Do any other 1br at other resorts have 2 bathrooms?

Villas in Jambo House are renovated hotel rooms. So no extra bathroom in the Jambo House villas. They are all lockoffs. There is no separate shower and tub - only combo tub/shower.

At Kidani Village, they are all brand new construction. So the one bedroom and larger have an extra bathroom just off the entry. The tub is separate from the shower in the one bedroom and larger.

BLT also has one bedrooms and larger with the extra bathroom.

There aren't any 1 bedrooms in Jambo with 2 full baths.

When booking you specify Jambo or Kidani.

As previosly posted pick Kidani if the bathroom is what you want. Jambo is closer to more food options so it really is all about what is important to you. Good luck

Is it the same points for Kidani and Jambo?

AKL has the most confusing set of "views" with different price points. Can anyone comment on what the "standard" view (ie, lowest point rooms) really are like? I think we're willing to take a basic view in exchange for a two bathrooms easily enough. But I don't want to be looking at garbage bins or a bus station or anything. Typical disney landscaping would be fine even if there are no animals to look at. Just need to be able to get up in the morning, go to the balcony, and relax with a quiet cup of coffee...

It is the same points for Kidani and Jambo. Here is something I posted on another thread :
Standard view does face the parking lot sometimes. It is very worth it since there are many people pens to view the animals and just walking down the hallway, you will have views to the savannah. The standard rooms are on floors 1-4 and are 344 square feet. allears.net has some pictures of views from standard view rooms. Not all are parking lot view, some look out over Boma's roof and even some "bad" savannah views are classified standard view.


Value rooms at AKL -Jambo House are smaller the the regular villas and do not have a sleeper chair. Therefore the occupancy level is one less. The are only 10 2 bed lockoffs so availability is scarce. They have to be booked at 11 months out. They can have a savannah view but it is not guaranteed.
To add to that, I believe it's 40% are Savannah View, 40% Pool View and 20% Parking Lot view.
And another poster added :
There isn't a pool view category. Standard views are the views that may overlook the pool at Kidani (as well as the parking lot, front of the resort or maybe even a partial savannah view). At Jambo house the standard views are pool views and none overlook the parking lot.

Just to clarify, the tub and shower in the master bathroom of the 1BR and 2BR at Kidani are separate. The "extra" bathroom just off the entry has a combo shower/tub.
