Used this quite a bit when planning LL's last trip. Super helpful.

5:02pm by MrsBobParr

Yay!!!

That's awesome, thanks!

Are lightening lane passes transferable if our trip gets cancelled and rescheduled?

5:39pm by wislp

5:58pm by snelvis

If you explain the scenario, though, they will likely refund your purchase.

6:25pm by utang44

I've unfortunately had to cancel LL's twice due to cancelled trips. Both times they asked me if I had the trip rescheduled yet (and I hadn't) so they just refunded me.

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

3:33pm on 12/10/25 by VikeQueen

collapse thread

Savannah view is important

3:33pm on 12/10/25 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.

3:54pm on 12/10/25 by evamarie320

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

3:57pm on 12/10/25 by PrincipalTinker

Yes would be for solo and both are available now

4:21pm on 12/10/25 by VikeQueen

You have access to both pools while there. Jambo has the bigger zero entry one with easy access to the Mara Quickserve. Kidani has the great splashpad and has a pool bar

4:22pm on 12/10/25 by Totsypooh

If i were solo i like Jambo better, but i enjoy the original dark rooms

4:23pm on 12/10/25 by Totsypooh

Doesn't Jambo have a pool bar too?

5:12pm on 12/10/25 by evamarie320

My research suggested they both have a pool bar. I'm doing all of this research just to hopefully switch to riviera at 60 days LOL

5:40pm on 12/10/25 by VikeQueen

Jambo has a pool bar but it didn't really have food (in 2023). V close to Mara, though.

6:59pm on 12/10/25 by TumbleMonkeys

If you are booking DVC room Savannah view and want to be close to animals, Kidani is best. Jambo DVC rooms are only on top floor.

9:11pm on 12/10/25 by wdw ocd

Kidani

10:55pm on 12/10/25 by cdlla

Well I feel better since this group can't decide either LOL so I guess I can't go wrong. :)

9:16am by VikeQueen

I like the Kidani pool better. It's more compact and easy to navigate. I feel like the two hot tubs are never crowded. And I love the food at their pool bar. I also feel like Kidani has better (more consistent) views of giraffes.

9:35am by lizshiv

Kidani is more peaceful if you want to feel like you are where the people aren't at the end of the park day.

4:57pm by moondance07

I believe Kidani has the longest pool slide of the resorts (except for maybe Beach Club). We stayed there a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed the resort. Easy walk to Jambo.

Thanks everyone! I picked kidani. I appreciate the help!

6:47pm by VikeQueen

Yay! When are you going @vike? Maybe you'll have a chance at an refurbished room with Kidani

50 min ago by lizshiv

Mid May. I should check the refurb schedule I have no idea if it will be done

37 min ago by VikeQueen

Anyone here used Thrill Data's Wait Magic since WDW changed their app for Lightening Lane? What was your success in getting rides modified after booking and getting new rides rebooked? If you park hopped, was WM useful? How crowded was it on your trip?

Anyone tried to fit a twin air mattress in POP rooms? DS (24,22,21) just realized 2 of them will have to share bed and are not thrilled.

9:46pm on 12/10/25 by ksswann

...view 11 more comments

Last time we were at Pop, I saw quite a few people putting the chairs outside the room overnight. I think that might give you enough room to slip the mattress by the entrance door.

4:54pm by vickiwaffles

Putting the furniture outside seems a little odd.

4:56pm by utang44

I can confirm you can fit a twin air mattress on the floor at pop. I've allegedly only ever used one and put the chairs in the closet area.

6:10pm by CrispyLemons (staff)

Thank you enablers. I have booked a solo trip for May LOL.

3:58pm by VikeQueen

Yay!

4:05pm by KLuck

Nice! Which resort did you decide?

5:10pm by youcanfly

For now I'm at AKL kidani. But I unexpectedly got riviera points in holding w my recent resale purchase so I'm deciding if I try to switch at 60 days. AK is pretty nice for a solo trip and I never stay there. Can't lose!

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.
