I've seen news lately about the resort campfires returning. Anyone who's been lately have a snapshot of the resort recreation and activities?

We were at the WL 2 days ago and they had the campfire

I’d request Sunset Savanna view, because the other savanna view - Pembe - is smaller & d/n have giraffes. Maybe near Timon elevator, again to avoid Pembe savanna & to be nearer the lobby since the halls are very long. Personally I’d ask for a lower floor so as to be nearer to eye level w/ the animals. Post #4 in this thread has a map of Kidani w/ the elevators noted. https://www.disboards.com/threads/k...arked.3558443/#lg=_xfUid-1-1621868389&slide=0

DVC at Jambo you will be on the 5th floor unless you’re club level then it will be the 6th. I prefer to be on the Arusha savana, there’s usually always giraffes in the mornings and evenings.

Pack a lunch.

Seriously if you’re not down for a long walk at the end of the day request near the lobby.

Not sure how accurate this is, but according to touring plans, the farthest pirate building to the lobby is 10 min, and the farthest Jambo room to the lobby is 5 min.

We did. I just know they can’t always honor requests

I was recently asking about recreation/activity schedules so I grabbed a couple quick photos at Jambo House on Sunday. Sorry for the glare on the photos but I did try to increase the contrast to help with legibility.

Curious, what is the African Stampede?

Curious, what is the African Stampede?

I think it might have been part of the games they do poolside... I vaguely recall hearing the recreation CM remarking things like, “we have lots of zebras!”, but we don’t have children so we try to choose loungers as far as possible from the speaker for the pool activities The pool bar was a great sound buffer this weekend.

Hopefully someone else knows if I am totally off base!
