This October will be our first time at AKV. Have been there a couple of times with once being for dinner last December (GORGEOUS!) but have never stayed. We got a split stay between AKV and BWV. We're staying in a Savanna view Studio at Kidani. I really wanted a 1 BR at Kidani but with a 9 night trip it just wasn't possible with only 1 bedrooms available at BWV. Still, one more resort to cross off my list! I'm a DVC member and I've also waitlisted Jambo House. I think I would prefer JH in a studio and KV in a 1 BR. Yes, I got a look at those bathrooms! How close are JH and KV anyway? Walkable?
How far you have to walk to get to Jambo from Kidani depends heavily on where your room is. Walking distance from front door at Kidani to front door at Jambo is about 1/2 mile. However, the Kidani building is about 2/3 mile long. Kidani has two wings, north and south. If you have a room near the end of the north wing, your distance to the front door at Jambo is is about 5/6 mile. On the other hand if you are way down the hall on the south wing near the Zazu elevator (last elevator on that wing and provides exit to ground level for walking to Jambo), you are only about 1/4 mile from the front door at Jambo. Be aware that there is a continuously operating shuttle (minivan) that runs between the two resorts, front door to front door.
