I know there are numerous threads about the pros and cons between Jambo and Kidani, and I’m pretty up to speed on the differences. We’ve stayed at Kidani, and have had the opportunity to wander over to Jambo house to check out the lobby area. The point of this thread is to seek some honest advice as to whether a Jambo House stay would be right for us.
We are a family of 5 and are taking my parents (in their 70s) for their first WDW trip next March. We were super excited to stay at Kidani, having just closed an AkL resale purchase and given the layouts of the two bedroom rooms (not lock-off, extra bathroom, etc) However, I’ve just learned that the pool at Kidani will be closed for refurbishment during our stay! My parents plan to have a lot of ‘resort days’ and my mom has repeatedly said that all she is looking forward to is relaxing by the pool.
So the options are to go with Jambo house (lock-off room, 1 less bathroom and higher SV floor), stick with Kidani and have my parent bus to the pool at the other location (which I think they will hate), or look at another resort entirely.
Any thoughts or views on whether the Jambo lock off two bedroom would be a good fit for us, our kids (12, 10 and 8) and my parents?
