The AKL main thread is littered with casual banter back and forth. While there's nothing wrong with that, other resorts such as VGF and Aulani have great view threads. It would be nice for AKL to have one too. LisaS did a great job compiling information here. Maybe we can rename this thread?Zombie thread.
I too prefer Jambo in a studio. Now that I can finally compare a standard vs savanna....some standard views have really awesome views of the savanna. Good luck with your decision!I know it's a zombie thread...but *THIS* room, right here^^^^ is why I am so hesitant to switch from my standard view room at Jambo to a standard at Kidani. I prefer everything about Jambo when staying in a standard studio (the proximity to the laundry rooms, the proximity to the bus stops, the double sinks...everything!) but if we are going to get a room that overlooks the construction-area-formerly-known-as-the-pool, then I would prefer to be at Kidani. But....if we were going to get THIS room again, I would be in heaven. I could deal with taking the shuttle over to Kidani if it meant I didn't have the construction site right outside my window. Right now, I am actually sitting on (2) reservations, one that is all 4 nights at Jambo and one that is the same 3 nights at Kidani with the 4th night waitlisted. I'm not moving for the last night so the wait list has to come through or Jambo it is!

AKL is not DVC, AKV-Jambo is the DVC resort. View threads are time consuming to post and maintain, I can see why no one wants to maintain it.

Yes, that is usually the case. However, I'd say LisaS compiled a list that's more than 15 or so villas. Anecdotal, but I always get the 'people pen savanna' standard view at AKV. It would be nice for AKL (whether it's the entire resort AKL or just AKV) to have a view thread; Deb & Bill kindly pointed out in another thread that sometimes 'view' pictures are found in the main thread, which is true.Getting a savanna view with a standard room is strictly luck of the draw. There are only 15 or so villas that were switched from savanna to standard and most of them have a Boma (people pen for fire alarms) right below the balcony, so the Boma prevents the animals from getting close to the balcony.
