Jambo Club level reopening

[moreisgood]

Are there any rumors or guesses as to when the Club level at AKL will be opening?

Disney and DVC have provided nothing to indicate when club level services will return to Jambo. My guess is likely not until the hotel portion of Jambo reopens, for which there has also been nothing from Disney and DVC to indicate as to when that is going to occur.

I agree with @drusba . My estimate is that the DVC units are roughly 10% of the population supported by the club lounge and staff. The cost of providing services simply does not work without that other 90% booking. It is not unlike why Stormalong Bay stayed closed until at least YC reopened, and a reasonable guess at BCV's piece of support for SAB is much higher than 10%.

Add in that no kitchens are open at Jambo. Even when Mara was open last week, prep was limited there. Without an operating kitchen at Jambo, they would also have to shoulder the full daily cost of prep staff, which is typically fractional for Club.

There are also no rumors I have seen for CL services opening at any of the other resorts either,

We have CL scheduled for mid April at AKL. If they are not open, will we still be placed in club room or moved to another location?

From the member website:

Kilimanjaro Club Concierge rooms at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House are available for booking. Note that Club Level Amenities, services, and Cast Members are not currently available. A date has not been determined when those amenities will reopen. Should these amenities remain unavailable during your stay, you will be refunded the vacation point difference between the room type booked and the comparable Standard View room after check-out.
