Hi ya'll
We are getting ready for our 1st DVC vacation Thanksgiving week at AKL K. We have been to Disney 6 times but never as DVC , and have stayed in moderate resorts. I have a few questions
1. Do guest decorate the doors to the room?
2. Is there and internal bus to get from Kidani to Jambo house
3. Do you reserve night vision goggles
4. What types of things do we need to bring -we are staying in Studio
DVC has asked members not to put any decorations where the general public can see them, like on porches, doors, windows. They request that we not modify the exterior experience for other guests. Plus, if you do any decorating inside the villa, you cannot use tape, tacks or any other product that could damage the finishes. That might include Command strips because they can damage the finishes.
The studio will have a microwave oven, toaster, Mr Coffee-style coffee pot with flat bottom filters (You'll need to provide those once you use the one time use filtered coffee packet you get on each service day). You'll have a few ceramic coffee mugs, a few real glasses, paper bowls, paper plates and plastic flatware.
You'll have a small bottle of dish detergent, paper towels, trash bags. The bathroom will have a single bottle of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. You'll have four bath towels, two hand towels, a tub mat and four face cloths. These will be replaced on day four if you are staying seven nights or less (and your trash will be removed). If you stay eight nights or more, you will get a full cleaning on day four and trash and towel service on day eight.
If you need or want more towels, you can purchase a towel pack for $6 from Housekeeping. Same for more shampoo, soap, etc.
The night vision goggles are kept at the viewing area with the CMs working there. You just share them with other guests.
All buses start at Kidani and go to Jambo before heading to the theme parks. The DTD bus goes to Jambo first, then Kidani and then to DTD. They offer a shuttle van between the two locations as well. But it is just a van, not a full sized bus. And the walk between the two locations takes about ten to fifteen minutes.
