Should I do online check-in for two AKV Jambo Value rooms that I have requested “travel with” (near each other) and savanna view (I put in a request to MS for specific room numbers)? Do I have a better chance of having these requests met by doing online check in before arrival or waiting and checking in at the desk on arrival around 6 pm?
 
You can do online check-in, but you must skip the request section or it will remove what MS added.
 
TBH, if you're in AKV Jambo rooms, I wouldn't expect a lot of good on near each other, and they do ignore the view requests for those units.

They're full 365 days a year, so you'll get the units that are vacating that morning, whether they are near each other or view the Savannah or not.
 
Do online check-in by 5 days out. I have heard that at 4 days out, someone starts going through requests and tries to match them up. CALL UP Member Services sometime before this, to make your requests. Don’t fax or text the requests.

Requests that you put in, on the computer, at online check-in, do abrogate the requests that you may have made by calling member services. I would NOT specify any requests in that checkin window, unless you put the exact same requests that you made with member services. Instead, I would make those requests, again, at actual physical check in.

By requesting from Member services, and then again at physical check in, you give them TWO chances to fulfill your requests, which gives you a much better chance.
