What you are actually sold by deed is a small % interest in a "unit." Typically at AKV, a unit is two or more rooms except GV's are each one unit. Both Jambo and Kidani have many units. When AKV initally went on sale, only Jambo units were sold because Kidani was not built yet. After Kidani opened for sales, DVD sold units at both. Thus, your deed is either for a Jambo unit or a Kidani unit.
Other than determining that AKV is your home resort that you can reserve at 11 months out, which unit you own and in which building has no bearing on your rights to reserve a room. That is because the entire property, Jambo and Kidani, was set up to be only one
DVC Resort and under the DVC system you can reserve any room at your home DVC Resort at 11-months out. Moreover, dues are determined on the basis of the entire resort as a whole and thus an owner at Jambo pays the same annual dues per point as an owner of Kidani. It is really no different than other DVC Resorts that have multiple buildings but only one DVC Resort like SSR, OKW, and Poly.
There have in the past been some computer screw-ups in the reservation system (I believe many would attest that "some" is an understatement). Because Jambo and Kidani are each a guaranteed booking category, DVC set up the online system to have you book Jambo separately from Kidani. In fact when you go into the online reservation system to make a reservation, it will automatically check which building you own as one that will come up without choosing it and you have to specifically choose the other building to have it come up. For no explained reason, the system has in the past prevented members from booking Kidani at 11-months out if you owned at Jambo and the opposite if you owned at Kidani. It did not do that all the time, just some of the time. With DVC IT's usual aplomb and speed to repair a quirk in the system, that quirk in the system has lasted off and on only for about 9 years now.
