If in a studio villa at Jambo, then up on the 5th floor there is one for dvc just off the main atrium at the beginning of Zebra trail.
Hmmm. Good Question..... I wanna say yes, for your MB's will show that you are in a DVC studio, so therefore I do believe it will open up that door to the DVC laundry room as well....I could be wrong...If someone else has any more knowledge on this matter please chime in... DVC machines are complimentary too...You have to supply the soap though...We'll be staying at a Jambo studio villa in April, cash stay though. We are not DVC members. Can we still use the laundry facility on the 5th floor?

Oh, I hope that's the case then! The location would be really convenient and the free machines would certainly be a bonus.
Yes, you will be able to use them for sure. I always stay in villas on cash points and the laundry room always opens for us. Never been a problem!
Hey, all! I'm obsessively trying to plan even though I can't nail anything down just yet!
I'm toying with the idea of booking the Wanyama Safari for DH and I. We did the Savor the Savanna tour at AK last spring and absolutely loved it. However, Wanyama Safari is pretty expensive, though I know it includes the multi-course meal at Jiko. We've never eaten at Jiko, so I'm wondering if it would be better to just make an ADR so we could try whatever we want and skip the safari and book a different tour. But I also know Wanyama can only be booked if we're staying at AKL and I don't know when/if we'll be able to stay there again. What do you all think? Can anyone compare Wanyama and Savor? I guess I'm just not sure the experiences would be different enough to make it worth booking it over a different tour.
As a ppl said you no longer need to be a guest at AKL to book the Wanyama Tour.Hey, all! I'm obsessively trying to plan even though I can't nail anything down just yet!

I like the Wanyama safari, in fact I've done it three times. I like doing it early in my stay so that I know details about the animals I can see from my balcony during the rest of my stay. I'm an animal nerd anyway, so it's very interesting to me to learn so much about the work AK/AKL husbandry are doing particularly in the endangered species breeding programs. You also get a sense of the personality of some of the animals. My avatar is from one of the safaris when Gordon the giraffe was a bit too inquisitive about the truck we were in
The meal at Jiko is nice because you sample a number of Jiko's offerings.
It's totally worth the price to me, and is around the same price point as what I pay for dinner at V&A's although a very different experience, of course.

We did the tour in November and LOVED it. There are small nibbles at Jiko before the tour and after the tour a multi course dinner is served family style. There is so much wonderful food. We left stuffed!
The only downfall to doing the tour over just booking an ADR to Jiko would be the family style meal. If you are shy it could be a little unsettling to eat with a dozen strangers. Despite this I HIGHLY recommend the tour.

Gordon is the current wallpaper on my phone!!!! I loved Wanyama, I actually fell in love with a dish at Jiko that I never would have even tried, all because of the Wanyama safari, and now order most of the times that we dine at Jiko. We ended up sitting at the table with another group for about 30 minutes after we all finished with the meal because we were really enjoying one another's company.
That's so awesome! I just love meeting other people at Disney! Could you give more details on what they served at Jiko?
Oh man, I wasn't doing a trip report so I didn't take notes or pictures. I looked at the menu and I can't for the life of me remember. (It sucks getting old!) I do remember one of the entrées was a fish. I can't remember if it was salmon or halibut but the current menu shows halibut so that's probably what we were served. I'll ask my dh when he gets home to see if he remembers.Y'all are really selling this tour and I didn't even have any interest in it until @windcriesamy asked her question... darn you, AKL fan club, helping me spend money I don't even have yet!
