AKV Kidani vs Jambo-bus, ECV

[Simba's Mom]

Does the bus still stop at Kidani before Jambo? I'm assuming they still share a bus. Has anyone here using an ECV and staying at Jambo ever had to wait for the next bus because the bus was full of the ECV spots? We'll be going to AKV and trying to decide which location to stay at, Kidani or Jambo. Kidani's so big, and the last time I asked to be near an elevator (pre-ECV), they put me way, way out.

The latest I've seen posted is they are no longer shared.

We are staying at Kidani right now, and the buses are not shared. They are also running a shuttle between Kidani and Jambo constantly, so we just get on whatever bus comes first if we're heading back to the resort from a park.

The nice thing with an ECV is that it really doesn't matter where they place you in the resort. Your traveling group may or may not complain but it'll just be a little more time vs a lot of effort.

So Kidani and Jambo don't share a bus anymore? Is this a permanent thing? I must have missed hearing about the change, but I'm so happy. Thanks for telling me!

When we were there in October they no longer shared a bus in the mornings and all the time for MK and DS. They had separate bus gates set up at the bus stations at those two locations. Now people are reporting that it is true for all locations.

Does it have a stop time at night? Our first time there we went to Sanaa via the shuttle (which left from the porte cochere) but had to take the bus back (late a night from a bus stop we had never seen at all much less walked to in the dark) because the shuttle stopped at 10pm.

Last time we stayed at Kidani the shuttle between Kidani and Jambo did not accommodate wheelchairs or ECV.

Frankly, I think that to go between the two resorts, I might just drive my scooter over. I was just concerned about the buses going to the parks.
