The forthcoming Kidani Village development at Disney's Animal Kindgom Villas will include the new Samawati Springs pool and Uwanja Camp water play area. But one question that remained unanswered was exactly who would be able to use this impressive pool complex.
We recently asked a Disney Vacation Club insider and received some straightforward answers.
According to DVC Sales Director Mike Brunson, the new pool complex will be open to all guests staying at either Kidani Village or Jambo House at Disney's Animal Kindom Lodge and Villas.
This should put to rest speculation that use of the new pool may be limited to guests registered at Kidani Village only.
As for pool hopping to the Kidani Village pool, that will not be an option.
One of the perks of Disney Vacation Club ownership is the ability to "pool hop" to other Walt Disney World resort pools when using DVC points to stay at a Vacation Club resort. Two resorts' pools are currently excluded from the pool hopping rules: Stormalong Bay at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club and Uzima pool at AKL. Samawati Springs and Uwanja Camp will be added to the list of pools to which DVC members cannot pool hop.
