NEWS: Reservations begin for Kidani Village 8/10/08 for AKV Owners

[gk90]

Good to hear that the opening is on schedule! We're planning an Aug 09 trip and are really hoping for a 2BR--either Jambo or Kidani will do, as long as we can stay at AKV. We own at SSR and this news makes it look like we don't need to worry about not having the 11 month advantage.

We are booked for March '09 hoping the Kidani would open early. We may have to cancel and go in May for the Flower and Garden festival.

I'm hoping for a Kidani 1br later in May....wish me luck as I'll have to book at 7 months. We would be fine in Jambo House, but I'd really love the extra bathroom in the 1br.

We too have a concierge studio for a week in May and am not switching...but we plan to stay about a month, so I may possibly use some more AKV points to book during that month in Kidani. We plan to resort hop, going from AKV to BWV to BCV and back to AKV.

Looks like I may have to cancel my concierge studio that I had from Dec 14-19 though.

Im jealous. After our December trip we won't be back until spring 2010 and have to wait until them wahhhh

I wonder if there is any chance they'll get some of it open for the busy month of April? I mean it is Easter right? And they should be able to fill any finished rooms.....Can anybody guess when I'm going next spring?

If May 1st is the offical date, I'm thinking maybe there might be a soft opening a few weeks prior. Good Luck

We're shooting for June - just fine tuning the dates now - probably June 12 for 10 days

We will have to kick the tires and check it out in Aug. 09. We are going to do a three night stay in a 2-bedroom villa before heading down to Vero Beach. I am looking forward to checking out the dedicated 2-bedroom vs. the 2-bedroom at Jamba House. We stayed in the 2-bedroom in May and loved the space, and at Kindani I hear they are bigger.

I asked, and as far as they know, all of the resort services (bar/pool/food) will be open at that time and it is expected that half of the rooms will be available but that is uncertain. They did not know which wing (horn?) would be completed first, but he guessed that it was NOT the new savana section.
