I know they are quite a bit smaller than the regular 1BR and you can either have pool, savannah or parking lot view. We are booked for january in a value 1br...other than that, I don't know much
AKV 1 BR value has approx. 629 sp. ft. Standard or Savanna view has approx. 710 sq. ft. This is only at Jambo. Value 1 BR sleep 4 plus infant under 3 in pack n play. standard and savanna sleep 5 with a sleeper chair.
Kidani rooms are supposed to be larger. 1 BR approx. 807 sq. ft.
We had a value this spring and enjoyed it. It was such a good point value we booked one for next year. We had a pool view, but other views are available.
This might be one of those things where it depends on which CM you get when you call. However as spiceycat said it's just a request, not a guarantee. Some have requested a savanna view and ended up with the parking lot view. The Values are popular so I expect they are usually fully booked. That means some guests end up facing the parking lot no matter what they requested.
