Only the 1BR's and 2BR's at Kidani have the extra bathroom. None of the rooms at Jambo have them but when you book you will know where you are staying.

The lockoffs do not have 2 queen beds in the 2nd bedroom. Lockoffs are made up of a studio and a 1BR and all studios at AKV have a queen bed and a sofa sleeper in the room. You will need a Dedicated 2BR to have the 2 beds in the second BR and only Kidani has the Dedicated. It's only lockoffs at Jambo.

There are no extra charges for adults with DVC.

Dedicated - thanks for the clarification. We stayed at Kidani in June and it was really nice. Are those 3 full bathrooms, i.e., toilet and showers in each? I know the master will have a jacuzzi.

Yes, they are full bathrooms, toilets, but not a separate shower in the 2, not main bathrooms. The shower is in the tub.

What is the chance of getting that one at the 7 month mark?

I got one for last January, when I called there was plenty of availability.

Thank you all for your help.

Someone mentioned there is an active AK DVC thread. Thinking this might be it. We just bought in and I can't wait for our first stay.

Welcome Home, AKV neighbor!

We will be closing this week -- perhaps as early as tomorrow, but I'll believe it when I see it. We bought 160 points and I can't WAIT to start using them. Any chance at all of using some points this April??

Does someone have a link for 2 bedroom pics? Standard and/or savannah view Kadani? Thanks

We just became AKV owners in January!!!

We are taking our first DVC trip in July but we are staying at BCV. We already had a cash reservation there and were able to switch it over to a 1BR. I am excited, but it isn't AKV.

I am currently planning our first AKV trip for Feb 2012 so I have to wait a while to go back home!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. We booked a one bedroom at Kidani village with a standard view. Hope we don't regret the standard view. Is there a chance we would get a parking lot view?

I think that is what Standard View means...I can't think of what else you would have a view of, isn't Pool View a different booking category?

I was thinking that value meant a parking lot view. A value was 188 points and a standard 228. The savanna at 272 is over our points.

 

[MiaSRN62]

Alison, I do believe some of the "standard" view have a view over front area of resort and pool area. I think "standard" is pretty much any view but savanna.

Amyy, "value", I believe, refers to the size of the room. There are some "value" rooms at Jambo which are smaller than the standard/savanna. I think only Jambo has "value" and I don't believe any particular view is associated with them. Rather you loose sq footage with the "value". Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Just wanted to add (found this on another thread) :

Standard view does face the parking lot sometimes. It is very worth it since there are many people pens to view the animals and just walking down the hallway, you will have views to the savannah. The standard rooms are on floors 1-4 and are 344 square feet. allears.net has some pictures of views from standard view rooms. Not all are parking lot view, some look out over Boma's roof and even some "bad" savannah views are classified standard view.


Value rooms at AKL -Jambo House are smaller the the regular villas and do not have a sleeper chair. Therefore the occupancy level is one less. The are only 10 2 bed lockoffs so availability is scarce. They have to be booked at 11 months out. They can have a savannah view but it is not guaranteed.
To add to that, I believe it's 40% are Savannah View, 40% Pool View and 20% Parking Lot view.

There isn't a pool view category. Standard views are the views that may overlook the pool at Kidani (as well as the parking lot, front of the resort or maybe even a partial savannah view). At Jambo house the standard views are pool views and none overlook the parking lot.
