Finally, I can join this community as a New AKV DVC Owner!!! All the stuff finally came together for my wife and I!!! I called today, and got out first trip Home for Sept 19th!!!
Add us to the list!!!! We put our down payment last week and got all of our papers to sign today
Can't wait to book our 1st trip!!! Keeping our fingers crossed for January 2010!
Ok, I can officially join the AKV owners club!! I still can't believe it! I really didn't think DH would ever go for DVC let alone be the one to suggest we take the tour on our trip last month or be so easily convinced!! Our guide was wonderful and really laid everything out for us, well DH really, very well and really showed him how it met our needs!
My only problem now is that I don't think the 200 points we bought are going to be enough! I didn't think DH was going to go for over the 160 minimum but he agreed to 200. We are a family of 5 and normally travel with DH's parents along. I think we may need to add on at least 100 points!
Jeeze! I haven't even booked our first trip home (hoping for Dec or Jan) and I already have addonitis!!!

We have a 2 bedroom savanna view room at Kidani, 11/15-11/20. Now I have NO idea what to request in terms of room location (don't think anyone does yet!)... lockoff or dedicated? I didn't make a request when I booked, is it the luck of the draw? One better to get than another?

We will have 2 Savannah view studios in Jambo house. There will be 5 of us. Me, DH, DD, my aunt and MIL. My DH is wondering what room request we should make for the best view. I haven't done alot of research yet. Are there zebras? Also he was wondering if we would be better off having a 1br instead of the 2 studios. Any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated!!!
2 Bedroom Villa Savannah View in Kidani Village!!!
Soon DH and I will have a new home at Kidani...waiting for our papers to arrive.
I do have a question...I know everyone is eagerly anticipating seeing pics of the pool area...but my focus is more on the animals. Does anyone know which savannahs will house the okapis??? Or do we have to wait until May 1st to get those types of details? And are the okapis only at Kidani and not Jambo or will they be at both?
Yeah, okapis are my favorite
We were on the Sunset Safari in March and this is what we were told. the okapis will be in the savannah that's not yet opened. It's at the "top" of Kidani, the part that's not opened yet either. The animals that will be there will need more of a forested area. They are hoping the red river hogs will do fine there as well.

Yesss!!! Thank you for this! I was wondering about the okapis being out in the midle of a bare savannah...they need trees to hide in...I mean, they ARE native to the rain forests. Ooo...red river hogs too?? How neat! I love this because now you can see all types of animals between jambo house and kidani
