Another question - Jambo or kidani for an adults only animal lover planning on pool time?

34 min ago by VikeQueen

Savannah view is important

33 min ago by VikeQueen

I don't think you can go wrong either way. But Kindani has many more DVC rooms. Jambo only has one floor of DVC rooms, so if you're not booking at 11 months you may have more luck with Kidani.

Is this for your solo trip? Kidani for the renovated room.

NDR but not completely, since many of us use Instacart for grocery delivery when in the world. It is 20 minutes but mind-blowing. Is this a problem @JJT can solve with a VPN or something??? https://youtu.be/osxr7xSxsGo?si=Z_D5wPi4tPY8HVSW

I don't remember that commercial @JJT. This is what I thought of watching that video. https://youtu.be/yZjCQ3T5yXo?si=FpjYcOBxuw4a9swn I wasn't surprised by that video at all @Blast, but thanks for it. Of course Lina Khan thinks there should be more......

I remember Vincent Price in Hawaii well. Can't place the Greg buys a car episode. But there are so many other eps taking up space in my brain!

I noticed on a stream of Epcot NYE 2024 the food booths were open. Does anyone know if the Festival booths were open on the 31st last year? Thinking about EP for NYE- that might sway our decision if booths open. Website says last day of festival is 30th

11:45am by candyls1

Yes the food booths were open on last New Year's Eve

Also curious about this beyond NYE, we are getting into the parks on 1/1

I'm considering a solo trip in May and can't decide a couple of things. Probably the second week m- th. Do you have experts agree that's decent for crowds and better than the weekend?

Hmm I could maybe go the week before arrive Wednesday and leave Saturday. I wonder if that would be even better I need to check availability more.

I was there April 26-May 2 Sat-Fri this year and crowds were very nice. It was the week after Easter.

Has anyone ever rope dropped Tambu Lounge for dinner? We have a party of five. It says they start serving food at 4pm. What time do you think we should get there to have a shot at getting seated? Trying to get a taste of Ohana without the full price tag!

2:43pm by katienowaity

On an average day getting there right at 4 can't hurt. On a rainy day when everyone is looking for something to do inside I'd get there earlier. After 4 it's very hit or miss how long you might wait.

2:45pm by evamarie320

Ok I was thinking 3:45ish but wasn't sure if that was early enough. I'll keep in mind that weather could affect this. I had not thought about that.

Going to park hop from HS to MK on a Jollywood Night. Do the busses run from MK back to HS after regular park closing? Concerned about getting back to our car.

12:35pm by absolutecinema

Why not drive to MK (TTC)? I would consider paying for preferred parking at HS. It would give you preferred parking at TTC.

12:53pm by PrincipalTinker

From MK you can walk to CR or boat to GF and the resorts will still have buses going to HS.

1:38pm by youcanfly

Busses to HS will only happen if HS is still open but if it's not, just let a bus dispatcher know where you need to go and they will arrange it. Bus dispatchers are usually walking around the bus loading areas at the parks.

I hunt high and low for the best deals. I wish I had enough flexibility to rent DVC points, but I really don't with my job. I share this because I probably learned it from the Liners: if you have an AP, you can get some sweet deals from Swan and Dolphi...

I do love the proximity. Have you stayed SR yet? We have added nights there multiple times and they do upgrades especially if you have suite night rewards with Bonvoy

2:25pm by youcanfly

I will say though that I never rented points for DVC however I definitely got awesome deals on dedicated stays. You just need to be flexible and consider split stay

2:26pm by youcanfly

Thanks @youcanfly! We tend to like a balcony, and SR doesn't seem to have as many, but SR is definitely in the must-do mix!!

12:58pm on 11/24/25 by JJT (staff)

Oddly enough, there have only been 5 VB listings in December since 2023 - normally I would say don't necessarily trust the median when you don't have a lot of data points, but I'm thinking $171 is pretty good any day.

I should probably point out that the same room at the same price in Sept is "only" 7% under median. Same effect on your wallet, but different price evaluation using the new monthly median my system is crunching.

Notably on that last listing: it is "only" about 19% under median when comparing to all past listings for BW 1BRs - but when just comparing to December listings it is that 32% under.

Not a "cheap" room, but a very good price for this BLT 2BR in January! When looking at only 4-nights or longer this is the lowest price recorded for that room and not likely to see another appear for this time frame based on past history...

Really, waiting until 5 nights out from check in for this price drop is ??? but, for a Savannah 1BR AND a long stay, this price is terrific. There has only been 1 other 1BR Dec listing priced lower. But, was a Value, appeared in Oct and gone next day.
