Hi Corinna, good to "see" you too!!! Hope all is well!!
....yup.Hey, Is that where I stayed when I had the Value room on the Giraffe trail? The light blue balcony in the upper left of the picture?
....true on all accounts, but I think it was changed closer to 2007 (?) maybe....When were these taken?
Many years ago the pool used to be that greenish color - which I liked, but then they replastered it during a maintenance (I want to say 2010?) and these days the pool looks more blue to me due to the normal white plaster/ blue sky effect.
I read that they've fenced Jambo's pool - can anyone confirm?
....we were in Room 3546 and this:We would only see the birds early in the morning. The cattle would come around 8 and the giraffes around 9am. They would start to herd the giraffes off around 7ish. There were days we would never see them because we were gone all day.
We were at AKL in November so maybe since you are going in May and it stay light much later, maybe they will be out longer at night? Someone on the last thread also reported seeing the giraffees earlier in the morning then we did so hopefully you get a view where they come out early. The hotel is amazing! Have a great trip!
We are staying Oct 2-11, we have rented points and managed to secure a value studio in Jambo House, we are used to ASP and POR, this is our first stay at AKL and don't know what to expect. Can anyone tell me where abouts the value studio are located, I am not picky about views. Plus any must dos at the resort, we have eaten at Boma once already.

See the map above (it's from Kimmar's post on page 1). The Value Studios are all on Floor 5 in Ostrich Trail and Giraffe Trail. You will either have a Sunset Savannah View or a Pool View! Enjoy! Those rooms are great and the location is so convenient!
Wondering the same- just booked a value studio for August. Have always wanted to stay at AKL so finally splurged; we have eaten at Boma 2x but have never stayed there. We always stay at a value resort so this is big for us! I hope we like it even though we are in a Jambo House value studio, the cheapest room! I believe it said landscape or parking view?
They'll definitely be on either of those 2 trails, but aren't some of the values also facing the parking area as well?
Cheap Room, is merely a term. True it's a tad bit smaller in size, but for the price & sometimes the location, it definitely can't be beat..That's why they get snagged up so quickly. If I was telling anyone looking to stay value, my request recommendation always would be Giraffe trail/close to elevators...
BTW, the DVC Laundry is right around the corner going back towards the main lobby atrium...
http://www.wdwinfo.com/resortmaps/aklmap.htmYes, the description says they may be facing parking. I don't know where the parking is exactly, but it did say that. With my luck this is what we'll get LOL.
Yes "cheap" is a relative term hahaha. Your posts are getting me back in the Disney mood though! We had a reservation at Wilderness Lodge. I was having trouble getting into it for some reason, and worried the construction would still be ongoing. Then I saw this price today and thought for $15 more per day I'd be nuts not to switch! So I did. Excitement level back at 10 again
Like RachelTori already stated , you'll be on the front two trails... We were fortunate enough to get a value studio in that 1st pod of rooms over Jiko. We had the 2nd to last room before the 2 pods separate. That's where the bank of elevators is..So convenient. Pool view as well.

All the room #'s have been even numbered: 5004, 5006, 5112 (twice), 5114 (twice), 5016, 5020, 5030, 5136, 5124 (twice).
....and hers' the pic:http://www.wdwinfo.com/resortmaps/aklmap.htm
Picture the parking lot on the bottom of the screen of the picture I sent. Immediately below/or in front of those first 2 trails, Ostrich & Giraffe will be the drive up area where the entry is...Just below that would be the Parking area. also If you can see where the elevators & bus stop are located. This is why I suggest Giraffe Trail.. For it's so close to Buses / Elevators ( for Pools & Restaurants ) & you never have to go to the lobby because it's a shortcut, to & from the parks.
