Kidani will open 5/1/09

[AKV707]

I just saw on dvcnews.com that DVC will start taking reservations from members beginning August 10 for stays starting as of May 1, 2009!

Non AKV members can begin to make reservations at their 7 month window.

I see a summer 2 br savana stay for us!

any word on new pool or restaraunt open by then? If not, that could make the pool at Jambo very crowded.

Here is what it says on the member site:

Members who call Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas "home" may call Member Services beginning on Aug. 10, 2008, to make vacation reservations for stays beginning on May 1, 2009, at the resort's Kidani Village accommodations, pictured above under construction. Those reservations become available to all Members within the 7-month booking window.

Membership at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas includes accommodations both at Jambo House (the existing resort building) and Kidani Village.

Kidani Village will feature dedicated Disney Vacation Club accommodations, a new pool and water-recreation area, a new African spice routes-inspired restaurant called Sanaa (Swahili for artwork) and other amenities.

Wow, I thought that there would be a little more interest in this.

Thanks for this info. So if we already have a reservation for the begining of May, can we call and just have it switched over to Kidani?

My guess would be that you could call as of Augyst 10th and switch to Kidani.

There is another thread on the Planning board so the traffic is being split between the two I guess! http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1866889
