Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

Does anyone know if you can pay to upgrade to a savanna view on check in if they are available? What is the rate for that? (Like I’ve heard people upgrade from LM to suites at AOA and it’s like $90 if available instead) Thanks!
 
just checked in. So lost. Front desk really busy and basically no help. Finally found our room after three different cast members gave us directions we didn’t understand.
So we are second floor pool view. How the heck do we get to the Mara?
It’s pouring rain so not going down to pool and over
 
Actually I take it back I think the elevator bank in the pool view section to the pool is probably closer I just double checked the map.

I don't think there is a way to get there without going outside but the walkway is covered.

There's nothing worse than wandering around a resort when you just want to get into the room and put your stuff down! My first time at Saratoga Springs it was late at night, and it felt like we walked for hours looking for our room. I didn't know the resort was the size of a small town.

Years ago huge family vacation with a stay at SSR. We all made it back to the main building except FIL. Asking everyone where he is? No family members know… um hello let’s find him. I’m looking high and low… come back and family members are shooting s&@t with random cast members. So I get on my horse and start jogging around streets and found him roaming randomly. Wasn’t sure if he wanted to strangle Walt, the bus driver, the civil engineer, family members, or what. He was beyond mad. And way too old to roam around like that.
 
I needed to fill a gap in my December trip so I booked my first stay at AKL, just one night in a Studio at Kidani Village. What are everyone's thoughts on room requests? I've read that pool view requests are a good idea but I'm also interested in being able to walk over to Jambo. Also, does anyone know how easy it is to get a walk-up spot at the bar at Sanaa?

We painted little ceramics today and it was only $6. The crafts that you pay for were quite reasonable.

I did it too. It was storming so we went to Simba’s Playroom and they had so many activities and they were so nice. There were switches and board games and a movie, it was fun!
 
Hi everyone! One of my favorite past times at this hotel is getting a Hidden Mickey clue sheet from the desk, and walking through the Jambo House (indoor and out), in search of Hidden Mickey's. Does anyone know if this clue sheet is still available? TIA!

Last time I was there (Spring of this year, it still was).

Does anyone know if the rooms have a clothes steamer
Not to be nit-picky, but are you asking about an iron (which is used on an ironing board and might not provide steam unless held face down) or an actual clothes steamer (which does not need an ironing board and can be held vertically to steam items)?
