Be aware that due to structural elements that had to be worked around in the AKL conversion, not every dedicated studio will look like this one. I believe this closet is really more of a broom closet. It will have the vacuum cleaner, ironing board, etc. in it. In a recent trip report someone (LindaBabe, I think) stated that the closet was not deep enough to accommodate hangers. You have to turn the hangers sideways a bit to get the closet door closed. There will be an armoire in the room for your clothes.
Main difference is that since the dedicated studio does not have the connecting door, they can put something else in its place, such as a closet. There is a comparison of a dedicated and lockoff studio in this post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=20920280&postcount=29Is there a big difference btween a dedicated studio and anything else. If so is it the case for most of the DVC resorts? Thanks Lisa I am just learning the different room styles.
Thanks

No you weren't mistaken. The models in the theater at SSR are for the AKV rooms that will be built in the new building, Kidani Village. The floor plan I posted above is for a studio in Jambo House. There are a few differences due to what they were able to do when converting existing AKL rooms and what they will be able to do when they start from scratch.I thought that when I visited the "model" at SSR, the toilet was seperate from the shower/ bathtub. Was I mistaken? I really liked the idea, maybe I was dreaming.
Thanks for the link . I am glad that they learned their lesson on where the connecting door goes. I HATE the location of the door at BWV in the middle of the wall. What were they thinking?!?Main difference is that since the dedicated studio does not have the connecting door, they can put something else in its place, such as a closet.

In Jambo House, the connecting door will be in one of two places. Viewed from the studio side, the door will either be between the kitchenette and the entry door, or just after the kitchenette. I think it's because they have to work around some structural elements in the Lodge building that overlapped the area where the connecting door would normally be located.Thanks for the link .

Thanks for that info. In re-reading LindaBabe's trip report, she says that the clothes rod in the closet in her studio was mounted too close to the door, causing the hangers to get upended when the door is shut. It may be an isolated problem to that particular studio. Here is a link to the trip report: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1588028We just returned from a stay in a dedicated studio at AKV, and I didn't hang anything in the closet, but there were hangers in there. The closet, I think, would have been deep enough to hang stuff on the hangers, because we removed the vacuum cleaner and used the closet to store my son's stroller, not collapsed. The whole stroller fit in there, tightly, but it fit. So, that may give you some idea of the size. BTW, it is an "umbrella-style" stroller, but not a small one. It is actually one made to accommodate larger kids. Oh, the closet was located where the first floorplan showed, right after the OP.
Oh Lisa.....Can an Aero bed in a Jambo Studio?
Thanks for answering another dopey question.

yea, if you are using the sofa bed for a bed. then in the hall way (besides the kitchennett. (so be prepared to move it)
if you aren't using the sofa bed - where it would go.
