Resort Thread Jambo! Disney's ANIMAL KINGDOM LODGE

[kimmar067]

Thanks for sharing all of the great pics! Looking forward to our first CL stay here

...you are going to love it! I've done CL at several WDW resorts - IMHO, hands down, AKL has the BEST ONE!

Sorry if it's mentioned somewhere else, but what is the latest on housekeeping at AKL? I get there in 4 days 11/15 and was just wondering. Every day, every other day, every 4 days, once a week? I'm staying at Jambo in a regular room, not DVC.

I haven't been since fall 2021... and according to mobile order it looks like the Mara doesn't serve espresso drinks anymore? ;_; Anywhere on the resort I can get a latte? (I used to love getting one every morning before the parks -- I'll be so sad if this is no more!)

I saw both espresso and latte as mobile order options today.

Hooray! I see it now! Maybe they just didn't have it the night I checked? Or (more likely) maybe my jetlagged-self just overlooked it.

Thank you! \o/ Latte for me in the morning. <3

I just looked again and neither are there, so maybe they just offer it in the morning?

That makes me feel better about not seeing it the other day! But that's so strange because I'm looking now and I definitely see it (specialty coffees)... So perhaps mobile order is just being temperamental?

Anyone know if the tree/decorations are up? We arrive next Friday and hope to enjoy the holiday ambiance.

Not up as of today, but I'm here 'til Saturday and will report back if they go up!

We will be at Kidani 1/11-1/13! Two nights there to celebrate my niece’s 30th and my sister’s 60th birthdays, then off to CBR for the next three nights. My niece is over the moon excited to watch animals from the balcony!

Our DVC member friends, who booked us a room at AKL for marathon weekend, just gave us our confirmation today so we could add it to MDE. It looks like we are staying at Kidani Village, 1/4 - 1/9. This will be our first time at AKL. I don't know much about the resort. What should we expect or look to do at Kidani?

Some of this might be pre-covid.
