AKV Kindani or Jambo??

[ShanF]

Hi everyone,
Read lots of great reviews of both and i am so excited to be planning to stay there in March!!
I am leaning towards Jambo - we are staying in a standard or savanna studio - i like the dining options at Jambo, but i am worried about the busing with Kindani being the first picked up. Is there room to stop for the people at Jambo?
anyone have any thoughts??
thanks in advance!!

I've stayed at both. I'd give the edge to Kidani except for one thing - I like Mara. I was at Kidani in June, we did leave people standing at the Jambo bus stop in the morning.

Thanks for your input. I am so torn b/c i like the counter service at Jambo but i am worried about exactly what you wrote about the buses in the morning. We are early risers and like to get to the parks early.
My husband votes for Kindani b/c the rooms are newer. Thanks!!!

We stayed at Jambo House this past June and used the buses to go to the parks. We had no problems getting seats on the buses, and I don't remember having any significant delays in catching buses either at Jambo House, or at the parks when returning to AKL. By the way, all the park buses stop at Kidani first, and then continue to Jambo. However, the bus for Downtown Disney stops first at Jambo, and then continues on to Kidani.

Bottom line, I wouldn't let the order of the bus stops sway me when deciding between Kidani and Jambo.

Good luck!!

we much prefered Jambo - bigger pool, Mara, bigger lobby, just liked it better.

Jambo is more of a resort feel. Kidani is more of a homey, intimate kind of place. Really, it depends on what you're looking for. Now that we've been to Kidani, I don't think I'll ever go back to Jambo. But I used to love it there.

We have stayed at both and love both of them. But after staying at Kidani it will be hard for me to go back to Jambo. Kidani, like you said is very homey, which is why we like it so much. Also, if you drive the parking is better at Kidani. I love being able to park underneath the villas and just taking the Elevator up to your room. Really comes in handy when you have groceries to bring up to your room. I ate at the Mara almost every morning, the walk to Jambo is not bad at all.
