confused about AKV

[leahjade]

On Mousesavers it says the Animal Kingdom villas only have 1 bedroom units, however on the points charts on this board it quotes prices for 2 bedroom villas. Anyone know which is correct?

There are 2 bedroom units at the AKV. Several DVC members have already made reservations for 2 bedroomunits and some have already stayed in one.

Don't know why mousesavers only has 1 bedroom units listed.

Thanks for your help! Can you request adjoining rooms - I just noticed that renting 2 studios is much cheaper than a 2 bedroom.

I dont think there are 2 beds at akv yet. Only studios, one bed and grand villas (3 bed) THe 2 bed comprises a one bed and an connecting studio.

THere are no connecting studios in AKV.

At Jambo House, the formerly deluxe rooms have been converted into two bedroom lockoffs. Meaning a one bedroom and a studio that can be connected to make a two bedroom. These can be reserved as a one bedroom, a studio or a two bedroom villa. This is similar to BWV where all two bedroom villas are lock offs.

Studios never connect to another studio for DVC villas, only to a one bedroom to make a two bedroom.

DRC is currently able to book Studios, 1BR Villas and 3BR Grand Villas for non-DVC member booking (based on availability). Although there are 2BR villas at DAKV, they can only be booked by DVC members booking through Member Services. I expect this will change as work progresses and units in Kidani House become available.

I imagine this is why Mousesavers does not include 2BR villas in their list of options at DAKV.

Studios connect only to the 1 bedrooms. They don't connect to each other.

There's a reason for the cost difference.

A 2BR has a full kitchen (with a kitchen ornament called a stove...no need to do anything but admire it ) and living room area with sleeper in one pod, a master bedroom with king bed in a second pod and second BR with a queen and sleeper in the third pod. There is triple the space of a studio.

Studios are the same as the second BR.

There is also a washer/dryer in one and 2 BR units but not studios.
