Animal Kingdom Villa

[nurse27]

This is my first time renting vacation club points. We have booked a standard studio at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I went to do online check in and I was hoping someone could tell me if I should chose any of the special requests.
My options listed are:
-request Kudu Trail Section
-Near transportation
-request 5th floor

We are traveling with a 2 year old. We have our own car so will be using that most of the time to get to restaurants and some parks.

I know its just a request and may not be honored but for those that stay there often...I was hoping for some tips. Thanks so much!

I would discuss your request with the person that you rented from and have them note your request on the reservation.

I am not in direct contract with the person I rented from. I wouldn't want to bother them even if I was over requesting where I want my room located. It was just a the list of options when I clicked special requests on the vacation club online check in so I thought someone on here might explain how the vacation club is laid out in Jambo House. Its totally okay though....I will leave it blank. Thanks.

I welcome and expect my renters to contact me for information, DME, DDP, and room requests. That is part of what you are paying for.

That being said, the online check-in requests don't often make much sense, that's why we add it to the reservation.

If you are going to do on-line requests (DVC requests are better done through the member who informs Member Services), and you are staying at Jambo (indicated by the requests you are seeing), then I suggest the following:

(a) Do not request 5th Floor because all DVC rooms (except concierge rooms) are on the 5th floor at Jambo and thus requesting that floor would be a waste of a request.

(b) Since you have a standard view room, you are likely to get a pool view room at Jambo and all those are on the Zebra Trail side of the resort. There are some converted savanna view rooms that are now standard view and requesting Kudo Trail may luck you into one of those if that request applies at all to DVC.

(c) Do not request near transportation if you want any chance for one of those converted savanna view rooms. That request would assure you would get one of the pool view rooms.
