Resort Thread Jambo! Disney's ANIMAL KINGDOM LODGE

Just hope they fix the carpets in the hallways during the refurb. Why are they always wet lol?

I'm scheduled to be there in December. 2BR Savannah view. Now I'm a little concerned.

Dumb question -- is the Kidani refurb mainly interior? If I stay at Jambo during this timeframe, and let's say my Savannah view has Kidani behind it...will I be staring at construction?

(First world problem/question, I know.)

Sooo, has the Kidani refurbishment started?

No it is not scheduled to start until October, and is expected to run until Mid-2026.

Thank you!

Separate question, I usually do not put in room requests, but I'm wondering if I should put anything for Kidani along the lines, of a "non-sagging sofa bed mattress, please and thank you." Or will they bring a mattress pad?

And do all the savannah view 1BRs have a good view of the animals?

Not going to happen in advance for your room but you can always request a mattress pad for the Sofa bed once you get to your room.

And do all the savannah view 1BRs have a good view of the animals?

I would decide which Trail you want, North or South trail. The animals are free roaming so that is somewhat random. There are 100+ Savanna view 1 bedroom Villas.

As of about 2.5 years ago... We asked and they brought not just a pad but a mini mattress.

They position food around the savannah specifically to draw the animals to a reasonable viewing distance from all rooms. You never know where they will be at any given time or given weather but it usually works out.

2nd floor rooms tend to see under the tree line better. The top floor can see more of the savannah.

Would love it if the Club Level rooms on the 6th floor got a little extra loving a little early.

I’d love for the rooms/resort to be a lot brighter, and for whoever is charge of the music, to please flip to the B Side of the AKL Jambo House Christmas Greatest Hits tape. Please.

Define early since they are not scheduled until sometime in 2026 after Kidani in Mid-2206.
