I emailed guest communications last week and still have heard nothing despite receiving an email saying they'd get back to me within 5 days. Sigh.

Got my call from Guest Services regarding the email I sent...end date for pool rehab is scheduled for Dec. 4th, according to the CM who called me, so no need for me to relocate (and I'm very happy about that).
Email again. I got a call back in 24 hrs, and with good news (pool should be done before I arrive).I emailed guest communications last week and still have heard nothing despite receiving an email saying they'd get back to me within 5 days. Sigh.
And last, but not least, does anyone have any firm dates for the pool refurb to be completed.
they were working on contingencies other than just having Kidani open.
I am staying at AKL Jambo House for the fourth time in August and absolutely love it! In the past, we have gotten a room near the lobby/mara/pool area, as requested.
For the discount we could not get a pool view (which is fine), but my mother was not able to request a specific 'area'.
I realized for as much as I love AKL I have not given much thought into how far away rooms could be from the lobby/mara/pool area.
I don't have to be right where we normally are which I believe is in the Zebra Trail area, but I would like to be at least somewhat close to the lobby.
Should I push the issue (it was presented to me as closed)? Whats about the farthest walk to the lobby/pool area at Jambo House?
Thanks!

The only time I have ever heard of people not being able to request a specific area are DVC members staying on points in the value and CL rooms. If it really matters to you I would call back and put in your request as not all CMs know what they are doing. Just keep in mind that it is only a request and it may not be able to be met.
ETA: if you booked through a TA then you should ask them to call in the request.
Do you have a savanna view? Standard? I am the only person on the Dis who's apparently ever really had a view of the parking lot (everyone else gets at least a partial savanna if not a full on upgrade), but I will say this...the rooms are very conveniently located.
Any examples?!
Thanks! This will be our first time staying in a villa so the process is all new. We are looking forward to it!You will check in at the Kidani front desk, just as you would if renting points. Also, you control the reservation since you're not "renting" from an owner and can call the Disney reservation number to add room requests. A cash reservation does get daily Mousekeeping! Have fun! I'll be at WDW that same week, but staying at OKW and BWV!
I thought you said that was a view of the parking savanna where the herds of Chevy Impalas gathered, the Ford Broncos, Mustangs and Pintos grazed, the Dodge Rams roamed, the Mercury Cougers and Sables and the Audi foxes lurked, and the Volkswagen Rabbits frolicked.Do you have a savanna view?

Question: How often do the Disney Springs buses run during the day, and do they stop at Kidani and Jambo or just Jambo?
