Just did our first stay at Kidani Village. We had a 1 bedroom on the Rafiki Savannah (I think that was the name). 5th floor, 7939. Room was in great shape however, I don't think it was worth the extra points for the savannah. It was on the edge of the savannah and close to the pool. I thought, it would be the final "savannah" room however, I asked our neighbor to the left of us (clearly pool view) and he said he was savannah also?????
I loved the tile in the bathroom....why don't they sell that??? Decor was nice, right up my alley. My husbnd felt it was the low end of DVC. When I asked why, he said it felt cheap to him compared to others and it was his least favorite. Oh well......
One piece of advice that is very important......if you are going from Kidani to Jambo, you will be told to jump on any bus or walk. If you choose to take a bus....DO NOT get on the one to downtown Disney....it DOES NOT stop at Jambo house. So, you will take a very long ride to Typhoon lagoon and then to DD. At this point, you need to get off, sit in the cold (without a coat since you left it at the room) and wait for the AK bus...
While you are waiting for the AK bus, your husband will be anxiously looking for you......
Yes, that limited edition stand of DVC pins is important (Kidani sold out, Jambo had 2 of them)....just remember, take your coat!
All in all a great trip. We are staying at AKV in September for a short 3 day trip after our cruise. Points are great for this location and you can't beat the extra bathroom.
We went down to go to the Budweiser shootout.....JR did not have a good night however; we had the fan ticket so, we were nice and close to him
