Here are some of the pics I took of the club level lounge. If you would like to see all 55 of the pics here is the link to my Webshots album.

I have a lot more pictures of the food from the lounge in the album. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me! Next I'm going to post some pics of the unique art and characteristics of this resort.

Awesome pictures! For some reason I really didn't take any lounge pictures during my May stay.

Awesome pictures! For some reason I really didn't take any lounge pictures during my May stay.

Normally I wouldn't have taken so many but I had a few requests for pictures of the food offerings in the lounge. Oh and I forgot this one! With the Olympic Coke cans in circulation right now the lounge only had the Ethiopia ones in their cooler. Way to keep with a theme!

Does anyone have any pix of the villas? We have 8 of us staying in a 3 bedroom grand villa in a few months & have no idea what to expect.

Hi,
We just got back from our vacation.
We stayed in a Grand Villa (Rm. 5363), I'll try and post pictures tonight.
We were on the Sunset Savannah, directly across from the construction
of Kidani.
It didn't bother me, but I'm funny that way!
I think I have pictures from the balcony so I'll include those too!

Dining Room

Dining Room with view of kitchen

Kitchen

Hallway leading to 2 bedrooms/2 baths each with 2 queen beds.
There's also a private door that leads to the hallway (no room number on this door).

One of the bedrooms with an attached bathroom. The second bedroom had a bathroom across the hall.

Master Bedroom

Master Bathroom with television

Pool Table which is in between the living room and the master bedroom.

This balcony was 1 of 3 which was shared by the 2 bedrooms with queen beds. Also, see how close Kidani will be.

Middle balcony off the living room/dining room. In the background, you can see the balcony of the master bedroom.

We really enjoyed our stay here and looking forward to staying in the 2 story at Kidani next year!!!

Wow, awesome pictures...thanks for posting! I think if I stayed in a room like that I would feel guilty leaving the room to go to the parks and would just stay at the resort all day, probably just soaking in that tub watching TV! And a pool table? How cool is that?!

 

[Disney8704]

WOW! I wonder how much it would cost to buy that room to live there?!

Thank you so much Tiggersgirl..3 balconies..NICE. Did you see lots of animals from your balcony?

No idea there was a pool table & that tv across from the Jacuzzi...WOW

Thanks again.

The rate board that usually hangs on the door of hotel rooms was hidden on the door of the closet in the master bedroom.
The rate listed was $2175 per night.
That's why we joined the DVC!

 

[tiggersgirl]

We saw a lot of animals from the balcony!
It was interesting because the savannah wasn't that big with the construction fence up, but the ankole cattle, giraffes and zebras were pushed closer to the rooms.

So we saw and even heard the animals feeding and we even saw little Kidani, he was really cute!

The safari trucks for the Sunset Safari also rode through the savannah. It was an open top truck, but once, it was raining really hard and they had the tarp covering the top of the truck.

They rode slowly past a giraffe who stopped and "posed"!
I saw the riders taking pictures, they were ooohing and ahhhing, they seemed to be having a great time.

I'm really excited about this. Unfortunately we will only be staying for 1 night as we are going on the Disney Magic the next day. But since we are not going into the parks we should really get to enjoy the resort.

 

[tiggersgirl]

Have a great vacation!
There's plenty to see at the AKL and it will be a nice calming place to be before your cruise!
Have fun!

I forgot to ask you the location of the villas & if they're considered concierge level?

 

[tiggersgirl]

Rooms on the 5th and 6th floors were converted to DVC units.
But since they are DVC, there are no concierge privileges.
I wish there were, but I understand the reasoning.

So there will be a limited number of villas in Jambo House and when Kidani opens, it will be all DVC.
