OK, how bad are the sofa beds at Kidani? Specifically the queen and twin in the living room of the 1 bedroom?

When are you planning on staying there? The refurb is happening later this year and the Murphy bed will be installed

Having experienced them a few times in the past couple years, I'd say some are tolerable and some are really not so good. The last one we had I actually slept on the sofa, not the pullout!! As Hubalorian says, they are starting a refurb later this year where they're going to replace the sofa beds with Murphy beds, but that refurb is likely to take several months and will run into 2026 before they've completed all the rooms at Kidani.

July.

I sincerely hope you get one of the fairly comfortable sofa beds!!

Ha, me too! Not a big fan of sofa beds in general and I was viewing a video walk through and they looked like they were in rough shape 1-2 years ago. But I love AKL and it’s cheaper than 2 separate rooms, so we may take the gamble.

Will they be replacing the pull out twin with a daybed and replacing the queen sofa beds?

It sounds like the queen sofa beds are being replaced for sure - they've been doing that at other resorts. I don't know what, if anything, they'll do with the twin/single sleepers. Not all the DVC rooms have them.

Maybe they’ll put in the twin sleeper under the tv console like other rooms that sleep 5–would be nice
