If I had to guess, I would say that the number of concierge 2BRs is either just one or maybe two. So the breakdown would be either
1 2BR, 4 1BRs, 4 Studios or 2 2BRs, 3 1BRs, 3 Studios
With so few rooms and such high demand, they won't have much flexibility.
Hard to say. Concierge consists of five 2BR lockoffs but it's not clear how many will be rented as a 2BR villa and how many will be locked off and rented as a 1BR and a studio. I can't recall any posts yet stating that someone has a reservation for a 2BR -- most seem to be 1BRs or studios. Maybe you should start a poll to see how many of us have concierge reservations for each villa size and that might help answer that question.
I had dinner at Boma on Oct 10th. I saw animals on the Sunset Savanna, and there were people staying in rooms on the lower floors facing that savanna so it is not closed. The 5th floor of the Kudu trail is closed off (the rooms on one side of that trail face the Sunset Savanna) so maybe that is what the OP meant?
You should give MS a call to ask about this. Currently only three of the six Jambo House GVs are open (the rest should be open by Jan 29, 2008) and not much has been posted about them. MS should know how many of them are/will be HA and how the rooms are set up.
I have no idea. They plan to have all of Jambo House open by Jan 29, 2008 but they don't publish a breakdown of the number of rooms expected to be available along the way.
How good is the Savannah view? Do you see a lot of animals? Am a SSR home resort owner so I am trying to branch out. Thanks in advance.
Do they separate your "home" by Jambo or Kidani? For example by buying in at the Kidani do I get priority over those that bought in at Jambo?
As Mike said, whether your points are associated with a Unit in Jambo House or Kidani Village, you own AKV and can use your points to book either building. Those whose points are associated with Jambo House can book a villa in Kidani and vice-versa and all AKV owners have equal priority for any booking category and either building.Do they separate your "home" by Jambo or Kidani? For example by buying in at the Kidani do I get priority over those that bought in at Jambo? That second bathroom is important to me, LOL. And if I can't get it and am using the same points as others then I might want to choose a different resort.
Or are those w/the 1 bathroom going to be considered "value"? What is the criteria difference?
No, all AKV owners will be treated the same. There is only one AKV.
This info on DVC's public website implies that you will be able to specify which building you want:Are there guaranteed booking catagories at AKV? If you want Jambo house can you specify that and know that's where your room will be or do you just take your chances once Kidani is open?

The Value rooms are smaller. The Value studio is 316 sq ft, a non-Value studio in Jambo House is 365 sq ft; a Value 1BR is 629 sq ft, a non-Value 1BR in Jambo is 710 sq ft, a 1BR in Kidani is 807 sq ft. The Value 1BRs accommodate 4 people, nonValue 1BRs accommodate 5 people. They all have the sleeper chair but in the Value 1BR/2BRs, there isn't enough floor space to open up both the sleeper chair and the sleeper sofa.I just can't say enough how helpful all of your info has been. I understand now that the Values will be in Jambo, but what qualifies a room as Value?
The bathroom issue is more about space and 2 DDs, LOL! And explain why my 11 year has to be forced to take the shower yet stays in there 45 minutes!
