My DH snapped this picture in the kitchen of the 1BR model room:

Yes, that is what I remembered from our stay. It is the size of most of those pitchers they serve water in at business meetings. I would guess it is about a half gallon/two quart capacity. We have made tea in it, but for a family of five, that doesn't last long.

Seems like some of our DVC stays have had a half gallon plastic pitcher. Hopefully that will be the case when they open Kidani since they seem to work a little better, especially if you use it in the refrigerator.

Thanks for the info about the pitchers. Looks like we will be bringing down packets then for drinks in the room.
We'll be in a 1br sv on Sunday and my wife and I have been so busy with work we're getting nervous we're going to forget something in packing.
We are keeping it a suprise from our little ones, just telling them we are going to Florida.

We will be making our first to AKV Apr 7-12th.

Does anyone have any news about the sunset savanna and if the animals are gone and if they are when are they coming back. The info I saw said from Jan 15 to Apr 15, so I hope they are done a little early.

Hello all AKV owners and lovers.

We are SSR owners and are staying at the AKV Jamba house for the first time in September. I have been looking at this thread for about 2 days now and have not been able to find any pictures of the common area recreation areas such as the Hakuna Matata Playground, Uzima Pool or any of the new Kadani recreation spots - Uwanja Camp, Samawati Springs Pool, Johari Treasures.

Please help, is there another thread that has some of these pics or can you direct me to the page if they are on this thread? We are really looking forward to spending time at the resort and would I like to be able to show the little girls some of the things they can do while we are there.

209 Days till check-in. Can't wait!

Hi there,
We have finally decided to book a studio savannah view. Any recommendations for an area we should request? Trying to stay away from construction views. We are going in July, I'm not sure what they will be working on then.

Sorry if this has already been asked, I've lost track of what I've read.

If you're staying at Jambo, request Arusha Savanna. This is the main and largest Savanna, with (distant) AK park views.

Other than an unreliable artist redition there really are no pictures of the Kidani pool or recreational areas because they are under construction. For Jambo stuff, just go to Google, use the "Images" tab, and then type in and search for something you want to see like "Uzima pool" or "Hakuna Matata Playground"

We just bought in onboard the Wonder last week. 270 at AKV. And the funny thing is, we've never even laid eyes on the place.

We flew into Orlando a day early for the cruise, and spent most of Valentine's Day shopping at DD. We had talked about driving over to AKL and taking a look around, but I think our decision was to wait until we were actually staying there. Y'know, do the "big reveal" when we finally get there.

We really didn't even make a conscious decision to join before we got on the ship. We'd been talking about it for several years, and the incentives they were throwing at us were just too sweet to pass up. So here we are.

I think our first trip is going to be to Hawaii in April. We've never been, and DW has a week off, so we're going to burn up some of our Developer Points out there.

If things work out the way I hope, we'll be coming home to AKV for the first time in early October. Haven't booked yet, or even figured out who's coming with us or how big a room to get, but I CANNOT WAIT.

Is it bad that I already know that the first time somebody down there tells me "welcome home", I'll probably well up a little bit?
