Can anyone provide info on what coffee maker and how much coffee is provided in the large Jambo villas? Trying to decide whether to bring some.

All DVC villas in WDW have a 12-cup basket filter coffee maker. Usually you get two coffee packs, which they should refill on a full service day, if you have one (8 days or more). I don't know if they refill on a trash and towel day.

We always bring our own coffee so we can make a pot every day.

Thanks ! Regular filter, or pods work best ?

The ones they give you are sort of prepackaged in a self-contained filter, but we just bring regular filters (12 cup basket, not cone), and loose coffee.

They say there are no silly questions but... is there a door between the bath and the rest of the unit in a 1 bedroom? (I can't see it in the layout on the site.)

Does anyone know what the main doors are made of? Can we put magnets on them? We're celebrating my DD's Sweet 16 with her 2 best friends & the girls want to decorate the door for her.

Thanks!!

Not silly at all... the jacuzzi bath is incorporated into the master bedroom, with a dividing wall but no door in most DVCs. Looks to me from the image below that Jambo house has a sliding door between the hallway and the jacuzzi area. The commode has a door, but to get to it you have to go through the bath area.

I've seen a swinging door in pictures of Kidani's 1br master bath, not sure why they wouldn't have used the sliding door also.

Jambo 2 br unit, (1 br + studio):

Hi, the unit doors are made of carved wood or something made to look like it.

The villa resorts discourage personalizing the doors (hallway side and sliders/balcony) The idea being they want the units to look uniform and tidy. I'd hate to see the girl's hearts broken if a housekeeper removes what they worked to create. Best to keep anything special on the inside.

What may be fun for them is to bring some party lights to drape over the counters or bedposts. Keep in mind balloons are not permitted at AKV.

Thanks twinklebug. It's so great to find answers, whatever the question. After much internal debate I think we are going to AKL Jambo :

Are bathrobes provided in the Studios at Jambo House?

There might be bathrobes in the Club Level studios but there will not be any in any of the other booking categories (Savanna View, Standard View, Value).

Does anyone know if the 1 bedroom villa has a dishwasher?

Yes, all DVC one bedrooms will have a dishwasher. Only the studios do not.

Okay, so I own at AKV, but I really don't know the answer to this one....Are there Dedicated 2 bedrooms at Kidani, and are you most likely to get one if you booked a 2 bedroom like you do at OKW? I don't recall my reservation saying anything about dedicated or lock off.

Yes there are and they are a booking category. If you had booked a lock off it would state that otherwise the dedicated are just listed as 2 bedrooms.

I was wondering if we decide to go with the deluxe studio, how far away is the laundry facilities?
