We have been upgraded 3 times out of close to 80 stays. The first was at Kidani. We had booked savanna view in a studio. Our room was so far down the hall that we were closer to Jambo’s front desk than Kidani’s. We didn’t have a car and i had recently screwed up my knee. When we got to the...

DVC usage is very different, right now, due to Covid. Because the resorts were shut down for so long, many members have an excess of points that they must use or loose. My guess is that there will not be much cash availability the latter part of this year as members will snag those rooms. Cash...

As someone who owns at both Kidani and the RIV, I’d say Kidani. The two bedroom at Kidani gives you three full bathrooms. Everyone would have their own bed, particularly if you get a dedicated two bed instead of a lock off. The one bedroom at the Riviera only has one bathroom. The pool at Kidani...

We cook a good breakfast every day. We pick up some healthyish snacks. If you are inspired, VGF is one of the few DVC resorts that have good quality gas grills. I believe they are Vikings. We were shocked when we saw them. There is no reason you couldn’t do steaks and baked potatoes one night.

Have you considered the Riviera? The pools are good, it’s on the Skyliner, and the QS is excellent.

All of the DVC studios have a “kitchenette” with coffee maker, toaster, microwave, and fridge.

We’ve been able to put multiple cards on multiple magic bands at check in. We always go to the desk and check to make sure everything worked as expected, the first night.

You can buy that at the store at Kidani.

The Murphy bed at the RIV is excellent. We have slept on it for 6 nights and couldn’t have been happier.

The shuttle bus runs continuously until 11pm. We were at Kidani last month. Sanaa’s breakfast was excellent although a little slow. Everything we had was cooked to order.

Using touringplans free reservation finder, I was able to pick up Sanaa a few days ago. Yesterday, I was also able to snag Topolinos on NYE at 8pm. That one was shocking.

To me, SSR feels more like an off-site condo than OKW. I’m a huge fan of Kidani. I’ve never felt like it was overcrowded. We were there in August for a few nights and will be back the first week in December. Sana’a has a great QS breakfast that is cooked to order. There is a shuttle that runs...

At Jambo, the DVC rooms are on the 5th and 6th floors. We always choose standard at Jambo because we are so far away from the animals. At Kidani, if we are staying savannah, we request Sunset Savannah and 2nd floor or close to lobby. Sunset Savannah is where the zebra and giraffes are.

Riviera had a scavenger hunt when it first opened. They may still have it running.

They have Mr. Coffee type makers, so flat bottom filters.

You guys are scaring me. We are staying in a tower room for four nights, the first week of December. It’s probably a good thing we are heading over to Kidani for four nights afterwards. LOL!!

QS breakfast at Sana’a is the best!

We tip bell services when they deliver our luggage to our room and when they come to the room to pick it up. We are tipping two different bell services departments’ CMs. You must be there when they pick up and drop off. We always just hand it to the CM. We normally tip $2.00 per bag. Since...

In order to get a room close to the Hospitality House, since you probably don’t have that booking category, you can request Peninsular Rd. and close to transportation. That never fails to get us very close.

The extra bathroom in the one and two bed units at BLT and Kidani is a game changer. We love AKV and are exceptionally pleased with how far our points go there.
