Mostly to Kidani or to 5th floor units, non-Club.It's my understanding that the Club Level rooms at Jambo House are closed, even though DVC members are being allowed to book these rooms.
Where is Disney moving these DVC members to?
Right, but a Studio is fewer points. I thought I recall reading somewhere that people were being switched to one-bedrooms at Kidani for the same number of points.Mostly to Kidani or to 5th floor units, non-Club.
Depends on what was booked. Keep in mind that with 5 lock-off 2BRs, some had studios booked, some 1BRs, and some may have gotten 2BRs. So what they are moved to varies.Right, but a Studio is fewer points. I thought I recall reading somewhere that people were being switched to one-bedrooms at Kidani for the same number of points.
If the demand is there for regular rooms why Doesn't Disney just book them as a standard rooms instead of keeping them closed?
Almost certainly not. Club is managed by the AKL hotel side, and AKL is not reopening in September. It will not be opened for 5 DVC lock-offs.There has been no club level availability and I just noticed it opened up fully for September. Is it possible its opening back up?

More likely people have been cancelling and moving rather than having MS move them.
It seems like it would be hard for the management to be DVC. Right now, with all food service at AKL dark, if they were to open up club seems like it would be bagels, snack mix, and bottled water/Miller Lite.FYI - The Club lounge is actually owned by AKV - DVC and the hotel side has an agreement to use it. Or at least that's what the POS states. Per the way it's worded I'd believe the management should fall under DVC although I'd agree it doesn't seem to.

It will be interesting to see when and how they open the CL AK. Will it be prepackaged items handed out by CM's? Will they give vouchers for free snacks and such? Will they do nothing and return points as stated? If the DVC lounge in EPCOT can open, could they not figure out how to open the club level?
The DVC lounge in Epcot is run by DVC. While DVC may own the lounge itself at Jambo, the services for CL are provided by Disney and they are not offering those services anywhere on property,
I agree and I am not an AK owner.The DVC lounge in Epcot is run by DVC. While DVC may own the lounge itself at Jambo, the services for CL are provided by Disney and they are not offering those services anywhere on property,
So, I don’t think there is anything that can be done, other than refund points or move guests when there is room to that...like they seemed to do in July and August.
Of course, with it, there should be a credit for that line item in dues to AKV owners for 2020 since the cost is no longer there.
Is it similar to TOTWL? Owned by DVC but it’s run via Disney?
