Just booked my Jan 2010 trip to VWL. That means the next time I call DVC MS will be to book my Mar 2010 trip to AKV. That seems so far away!

We've stayed at Jambo House twice, and Mar 2010 will be our first time in Kidani. We were going to stay in Kidani in May 2009 but ended up planning a trip to Disneyland in California.

Oh well, we end up visiting AKV each trip when we eat at Jiko or Boma.

Can't wait to see it in May! Bought sight unseen also.

Bear with me, this is going to seem silly but...

I'm looking for a pic of JUST the carpet in the AKV studio to use for a digital scrapbooking background. I was there last month and forgot to take one.

Can anyone help me???

 

[Marc A.]

If so dows anyone have it on hand???
Thanks

Everyone, I saw this information posted on DVCNews.com today.

(This is all para-phased)

Disney has announced the AKL/AKV bus routes for Kidani & Jambo House.

All park buses will stop at Kidani first and then go to Jambo House. So anyone going from Kidani to Jambo can get on any park bus.

DTD buses will stop at Jambo house first and then Kidani. So to go from Jambo to Kidani, take a DTD bus.

I saw it too... kinda nice when staying at Kidani - which, we just booked our Jan 2010 stay at Kidani this week! We'll be taking the folks along this time, in a 2-br lock-off SV. Looking forward to it. My folks haven't been to WDW since 93 - and our kids are very excited to be able to show it off to them - so much has changed since they last went!! It's so far off... but thankfully my solo trip next month and my father/sons trip for Star Wars Weekends in June will satisfy... now we just need a quick trip this fall to make it a full Disney year.

That sounds awesome! I'll be at Kidani for maybe one night in September and then for 10 nights in December.

I'm getting excited for our trip in November!!! I know, I know, a long ways away...

I was thinking of trying to get in at BLT but I know that's unlikely. Do you think I'll regret it? Right now we have a 2 bedroom SV booked at Kidani village.

Got your PM...thank you so much!

I don't at all. I really think that AKV is unmatched as a completely immersive experience. And a 2 br savanna view should be incredible. There realy is no other resort like this. Enjoy!

Looking forward to our four night stay in a 2 bedroom savannah view room for Christmas, including Christmas Eve and Christmas night!

Quick question. Is/are there pitchers in the units to make ice tea or lemonade in?
If so my wife and I were thinking of bringing packets down.
Thanks.

As far as we can remember, we did not see any. We stayed last Oct. in a 2-bedroom. We brought the small crystal light packets and added them to individual size water bottles so we could bring them to the parks.

Lucky you!

I'm trying to convince dh that that's what we should do for our family for Christmas, but all he can see is the price tag

We have 2 nights booked in a 2 bedroom standard view for our summer trip. I'm hoping dh will change his tune once he's lived the good life!

A pitcher is listed on the kitchen list for 1BRs and larger - at least it used to be. When we've stayed at AKV and other resorts we have used their pitcher but I think it's on the small side (1 quart maybe?) If it's not in the cabinets call and request one (we've done this a SSR and they brought one to the room shortly after we called). Lately we bring one of our pitchers from home (a 2 quart size). We fill it with all the Crystal Lite powder packs inside it so that when we unpack it's all together and ready to mix!
