This is a newbie question I guess but what is the difference between Kidani Village and Jambo House?
Would you say the studios in Kidani are better? Are ones larger than the other?Jambo House is the original Animal Kingdom Lodge hotel. All of the DVC Rooms were converted from hotel rooms. The Values are converted Standard Hotel Rooms, the others are converted Deluxe Hotel Rooms. The DVC Rooms take up most of the 5th and all of the 6th floors. The 6th floor is the DVC portion of the Concierge Level rooms. All of the 2-bedrooms villas in Jambo House are lock-offs (1-bedroom & studio w/interior connecting door). Jambo House has both quick service and table service dining. Kidani Village was built from the ground up as DVC Villas. The 1, 2 & 3 bedroom villas in Kidani Village have 1 more bathroom than those in Jambo House. Kidani Village only has table service dining which is open for lunch & dinner.

OP-Sorry to jump on your question, but how hard is it to get to the pool from Jambo House to Kidani Village? Since staying DVC I assume that you can use both pools right?
Where are the best savanna views?
Here is the floor plan for a Jambo Dedicated Studio that KAT4DISNEY posted above:Is there a difference between the dedicated studios and the lock-off studios or are the exactly the same?
Here is the floor plan for a Jambo Dedicated Studio that KAT4DISNEY posted above: Dedicated studios have no connecting door. In Jambo House most of the dedicated studios (but not all of them) have a closet where the connecting door would be as shown in this floor plan. The closet may be in a different location in some of Jambo's dedicated studios and in others there is no closet. (The DVC villas in Jambo House were created by gutting existing hotel rooms and due to structural issues they had to contend with, not all villas are exactly the same.) A lockoff studio has a connecting door to the 1BR next door. In Jambo's lockoff studios, that eliminates the option for a closet in most but not all cases. The connecting door will be either in the entryway or in the living area just past the kitchenette. If the door is in the living area, the bed and sofa bed positions are swapped -- the bed is next to the sliding door, the sofa bed is next to the bathroom wall to allow space around the connecting door. My comments apply to Jambo House only. As far as I'm aware, Kidani does not have any dedicated studios and Kidani's lockoff studios all have closets and all have the connecting door in the same place.
You will have an armoire in the room whether you have a closet or not. Unfortunately only half of the armoire is usable for hanging up clothes since the other side is used to store the vacuum cleaner, ironing board, etc. Even in those studios where there is a little closet and the vacuum and ironing board are stored there rather than in the armoire, they did not put a clothes bar or shelves or anything useful in the other side of the armoire, they just left it empty.Lisa so what would you say the ratio is for studios with closets and studios without at Jambo? Not that it's a huge deal, but would like the extra storage space that a closet had to offer. We are in a deluxe standard studio next month and am already having anxiety about where we are going to fit everything for a week and a half.

I found some data that I pulled together last fall about which Jambo House studios have a closet. I'm not sure how accurate this is but it looks like there are no Standard studios with a closet in Jambo House.

I just checked my list of reclassified rooms to see if any rooms reclassified from Savanna View to Standard View have a closet and there are none.Lisa thank you so much for the info! Ahhhh one way or another, we'll work with the space we have!
