Before I continue with moving day, I found these two cute photos that I didnt post. They are from some evening during a return to SSR:
I last left you on the bus from DTD to AKV. I got the text that our villa was ready. We had # 7614. It was a two bedroom at Kidani Village. We had only stayed at Jambo House. I hummed and hawed over which to chose, Jambo or Kidani, and in the end Kidani won out. When it came down to it the only thing left to debate was a grander lobby vs another bathroom. The CS didn't matter and I had known how close Kidani and Jambo were in proximity to each other, I would have chose Kidani from the start. Im so glad I chose the extra bathroom. I had read a ton about the walk from Kidani to Jambo and how long it was and honestly, for us, that was not the case. We walked all but one time over to Jambo and the only reason we rode the bus was to see the real difference between walking and riding. The girls rode and the boys walked. I think we sat for 2 minutes at most waiting for them. It was such a hardship.

For those wondering which to chose, Kidani over Jambo, and if mobility isnt an issue, give Kidani a try. Its fabulous. I fell in love with it. We really like Jambo but unless I ever get lucky enough to score concierge level, Ill choose Kidani over Jambo.
We were eager to show Kayla AKV. She was in for such a treat. I knew shed flip over the SV as would my own kids. Nothing beats the smell of giraffes, 10 feet from the balcony, after a long day in the parks.
I have to back track a little here. Our original plan for 10/19 is in the photo below. Clearly we didnt follow the plan. Id say we adhere to the plan 50/50.
I dont recall any bus issues. We were so chatty and excited. I love that Disney buzz. We arrived at Kidani and fell in love. Sure it was smaller but to me, it was more intimate. Its the comparison between MK and
Disneyland. Disneyland feels intimate. Im weird, I know.
The lanterns and wise words are so neat you enter. I did get a photo of them but not as we entered this time so I wont post it yet. I can also see how convenient Kidani is for those with a car. The parking is
right there.
Hey dont forget us:
Our villa number:
Ill start with room photos then view photos. First, the most important room:
The kitchen:
The kids room.

I made them all share that bedroom. I really like to keep my living space free from sleeping if at all possible. It worked out very well and we didn't have any issues. I love living space and elbow room.
Master bath and bedroom:
Happy kids. Repeat after me: the couch is for sitting, not sleeping
Great lamps:
