Questions about AKL villas

[beautifultomorrow]

I hope these questions aren't too dumb....
When will Kidani Village open? Is it completely under construction, or partially open?

I understand all 2 bedrooms in Jambo are lockoffs, and all value rooms are in jambo, so does this mean even when completed, there will be no dedicated 2 bedroom villas in the value category?

How fast do rooms (of any type) book up in the value category?


Thanks!

I think it's around Spring of 2009 for the Kidani Village opening.

Right, no dedicated 2-br's in the value category.

Kidani Village is currently under construction. None of it is open yet. Originally we were told that the first phase would open in early 2009. There are rumors that they are ahead of schedule and the first phase may actually open in late 2008. Curiously, Disney has removed the opening date information from the public DVC website...

That is correct. All of the Value 2BRs are lockoffs.

The Value rooms have only been open since Dec 1st so we don't have a lot of reports yet on how difficult it is to book one. There aren't many Value rooms and they are a bargain. Lots of DVC members like to conserve points so I expect they will be very popular. There are a total of 8 Dedicated studios (4 Savanna View, 4 Standard/Pool View) and 10 2BR Lockoffs (4 Savanna View, 4 Standard/Pool View, 2 Standard/Parking lot View).
