Does the rest of Kidani open today?

[AKV707]

I know September 1 was the tentative date for the rest of Kidani to be completed and for the Pembe savanna to open. Does anyone know if that is happening? Anyone at Kidani right now?

I posted an Orlando Sentinel blog that confirmed it a few days ago:

From DisneyParks on twitter:

Note: Pembe savanna, a new 6-acre area, opens today at Kidani Village at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge http://bit.ly/3PRHBe

If this is true, then I wonder why my waitlist hasn't come through? Do you think there are that many requests for the first weekend in November?

They were likely taking reservations on the Pembe rooms before today, and conversely, their construction timetable was happening regardless of unit sales (and consequent openings of inventory for DVC occupancy).

That said, I bet you'll have luck in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the info. I am addicted to checking my waitlist online! Maybe I should call Member Services later in the week in check with them?
