I'm curious about the towers on either side of the lobby that look a bit like grain silos with lots of odd little windows. Anybody know what is inside them?

I haven't looked at any plans lately but my guess is that it would be the elevator lobby for each floor. You could have irregular windows in such an area.

Interesting...When I first saw them the first thing that came to my mind were stair wells because of the shape of the silos. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Stairwells were my guess too. The windows would provide yet another view of the savanna/animals. Then again, who knows what little surprises the Imagineers will come up with next.

It looks so awesome. I can't wait to go. It doesn't seem as long of a walk as I thought or people said.

The reason the walk is so long is because you have to go all the way around the savanna. The photo showing the far end of the Kidani building that also shows part of Jambo House was probably taken from emergency exit stairs at the very end of the Kudu Trail. To get from the place where the photo was taken to the part of Kidani that is shown in the photo you would have to walk all the way down the Kudu Trail to the lobby, exit Jambo House via the main entrance, turn right and walk along the front of the building, go past the entrance to the delivery area, walk along the lower "horn" of Kidani, go inside the main entrance and then walk down the corridor of the upper "horn" to the end of the building.

I marked the route in yellow on this drawing of Jambo House and Kidani. On the public DVC website, Disney states that the distance between the main entrances is nearly 1/2 mile so this route looks to be at least 3/4 of a mile!

ETA: I assume there will be a way in and out of the Kidani building by the pool area so you could shorten the walk a bit by bypassing the lobby and continuing to walk straight to the pool area and entering the building there.

No need to wait...

It is actually both. The window area is the elevator area for 2 elevators (too small to really call it a lobby) but also inside the 'silo' are inclosed stairwell as well. Looks like a service elevator as well hidden in a room.

Does anyone have the "artist rendering" of the Kidani pool area? I know I have seen it but cannot find it on the DVC member website. We are staying at Kidani in July and can't wait to see the new pool area!
