Jambo vs Kidani Villas

[meloneyb21]

Opinions?

We were trying to decide between Saratoga Springs and Bay Lake...now the AKL Villas were added to the mix. We're traveling with a 7 and 2 year old...and traveling in late August or September. Bay Lake right now is at the bottom of the list though.

The water play area at AKV Kidani is wonderful and both of the pools at Jambo and Kidani are zero entry which is great with a toddler. The playground at Jambo is nice and good for kids your kids' ages. If you get a one bedroom at Kidani you will have two full bathrooms and Kidani has under the building parking. Both Jambo and Kidani have nice kids centers, activities and the CMs around the resort are wonderful and so full of great info on the animals. Jambo has the CS, The Mara, and there is a decent selection there. I can't comment on the buses because we've only used it once and that was to DAK. I absolutely love AKL and my kids, 9 & 5, love it too.

I will say that I like and enjoy SSR, especially isn't location and proximity to DTD but I love AKL.

If your kids like swimming, then SSR and AKV will be your best bet. The pool at BLT is nice but rather small. Then it will be a matter of deciding whether you want to see animals in the savannah or being close to DTD. You can't really go wrong, just go with what you prefer.

The slide at BLT is awesome though. The pool is small, but never crowded! BLT is soooo nice!!

Another big point in Kidani's favor, if you're just deciding between those two is the buses go to Kidani first for the parks, and Jambo second. That was a huge plus when we went last february.
