Kidani Village/Jambo House Live Savanna View and Live Mobile Streaming! and photos!

• We loved both resorts 100%!! (DW, DS13, DS09, myDISboards).

• The dark African-themed 1-bedroom we loved very much. All lights were on day and night. Drapes were opened during the day.

• All of us walked few times between Kidani Village and Jambo House. On one occasion, a cast member gave us a golf car ride over to Jambo House. DS13 and DS09 loved it!! The golf car ride was recorded on Sony Point-n-Shoot camera.

• No over-the-counter restaurant at Kidani Village?! What DVC/Disney thinking? But the walks were leisure for us. DS13 said it few times, “just do it and walk over”.

• Notes on walkway from Jambo House to Kidani Village: when you’re near Kidani Village Zazu elevators parking area #1, you can actually walk under the covered parking (street level) and use Timon elevators parking area #5 for example to get to the main lobby. This short-cut is good for rain and hot summer sun.

• We ate lunch and dinner at Sanna restaurant (not on same day). Sanna had same menu for lunch and dinner but the waiter/waitress explained the differences such as lesser items on same entrees. Food was excellent!!

• We ate twice at Boma for dinner (not consecutive nights). All buffet items were same except for few different soups and entrees for each dinner. We tried a little of everything at first, and then went back for our favorites!! Food was excellent!!

• We did not eat at Jiko because of other priorities. It’s on our to-do-list next time we visit. I have a video named "Jiko" at the above website.

• We went to Downtown Disney three times. Each time about 25-minutes ride. From Kidani Village, waited 5-10 minutes for the buses at 12pm/3pm/6pm. From Downtown Disney, waited 10-15 minutes for the buses at 3pm/6pm/8:30pm.

• DS13 and DS09 loved both swimming pools and slides (Kidani slide is longer). Not crowded for our stay. If there were crowd levels, the pool choice = Uzima Pool at Jambo House.

• The bus ride from Kidani Village to Magic Kingdom about 20-minutes. We had Bay Lake Tower scheduled tour at 1:00pm. I asked about the differences between daily 1:00pm tours and 2pm to 4pm tours when I made our appointment, only the daily 1:00pm tours are Top Of The World Lounge/Observation Deck.

Three (3) videos of Bay Lake Tower scheduled tour at 1:00pm were recorded on Sony Point-n-Shoot camera. (no password required)
