1:01
this will only be the second time i've
1:03
stayed at this establishment
1:05
the first was at jombo house which is
1:08
down that way
1:09
you see the jumbo house sign right there
1:12
but i'm passing jumbo and heading over
1:14
to kadani village

1:18
buildings
1:19
it's currently 2 30 p.m check-in
1:22
technically isn't till 4. it's almost
1:24
kind of kind of wander around maybe even
1:26
go up to the lobby see if they can
1:29
accommodate getting in the room a little
1:30
early sometimes they let you in about an
1:32
hour early it's happened before i also
1:35
signed up on the app so
1:37
they might even alert me that way
1:39
in fact there really is not any reason
1:41
to go up
1:44
to the
1:45
service desk
1:47
unless you really want to it's all done
1:48
online these days welcome everyone adam
1:51
the woo here wearing an appropriate
1:55
backpack my disney vacation club
1:58
membership
2:00
backpack that
2:02
is i would say it's a gift it's probably
2:03
worked into the eventual price of
2:05
everything you are paying with the dvc
2:08
membership also have a mickey shirt on
2:11
also
2:12
currently
2:13

kneaded indoors outside they are not
2:18
required and of course in my room by
2:19
myself

will not need them but walking around in
2:22
the lobby and some of the indoor close
2:26
close quarter establishments
2:28
inside these are needed
2:30
last time i was here as stated was over
2:32
at jambo house which is quite a walk
2:35
from here i will not be heading over
2:37
there this time
2:39
that gentleman is possibly even running
2:41
over there last time i had not the best
2:44
view i had a view of the parking lot
2:47
this time
2:48
savannah view which is cool it'll be to
2:50
see the see the animals
2:52
be able to see the animals outside of my
2:54
window and on the veranda i don't like
2:56
to discuss business of alumni but i will
2:58
look at some animals on it i'm inviting
3:01
you to join me
3:02
through this process and throughout the
3:04
course of the day
3:06
shall you got the rug right here laid
3:08
down and then the got the
3:10
entryway ended up there's two there's
3:12
two little mats
3:13
going in and into kadani village
3:17
was just told my room is just about
3:19
ready it's only 2 45 they said they're
3:21
just having someone check on it and
3:22
they're going to alert me and it will be
3:25
in fact a savannah view room similar to
3:29
similar to what i am looking at now
3:31
except my room out of the window out of
3:34
the sliding glass door will be something
3:35
similar to this i don't know where it'll
3:37
be but it's somewhere over this savannah
3:40
should also note this is a nice little
3:42
seating area out here they got the
3:44
rocking chairs but this is really good
3:46
around sunset when the the night goes
3:48
down has the little lamps up top
3:50
and the lettering here across
3:53
the side inspirational quotes and look
3:55
over there a few animals across the
3:57
plains
3:59
i see some little gazelles
4:01
maybe those are antelopes
4:07
some sort of motor off in the distance
4:07
too
4:08
way off in the distance i don't know if
4:09
you caught that or not this is a nice
4:10
place to just wait for my room to be
4:13
ready yeah these rocking chairs are very
4:15
very sturdy a very beautiful lobby area
4:18
to say the least with the expansive
4:21
windows looking out across the savannah
4:24
all across out here and just look how
4:26
tall the windows are i'm going all the
4:28
way up probably a good gosh 40 50 feet
4:32
just have to make my way around the rock
4:34
wall here pass another mat
4:36
and then
4:38
you know heading outdoors you don't have
4:39
to keep these on outdoors only inside
4:42
can't go that way there's like a bunch
4:44
of bamboo but yeah this is like looking
4:46
up looks to be a fire pit over here
4:48
which i don't think the fire is needed
4:50
today because it is very very very
4:52
toasty very toasty in fact there's even
4:54
a fan right there kind of like
4:57
giving a little giving a little coolness
4:59
through the breeze yeah look that is an
5:01
impressive building is it not going back
5:03
up to the lobby now i just learned
5:05
something that the savannah is attached
5:07
not only to kadani so this is kidani
5:09
here but if you look out across the way
5:12
there that is jambo house
5:15
over there so it's all one big savannah
5:17
just two separate entities well one
5:19
resort
5:20
two entities if that makes any sense of
5:23
course where i'm staying
5:24
is right in here at
5:26
kidani the seaming in here is is
5:29
something to behold that's for sure on
5:31
point even with the thatched roofs all
5:34
along the side there got some coffee
5:35
mugs here that has the animal kingdom
5:37
lodge on it as well as these turvis
5:39
tumblers
5:40
these are pretty nice an entire gift
5:42
shop through here where you can get not
5:44
only not only gifts and souvenirs but
5:45
you can also get beverages things for
5:48
the room
5:49
candy assorted
5:51
treats and whatnot even cereal
5:54
little bites
5:55
doritos
5:57
you know pretty much anything you would
5:59
need
6:00
one thing i always like to get
6:02
are these
6:03
milk chocolate covered mickey mouse
6:05
pretzels i think i'm going to get some
6:07
of these
6:08
for the room
6:09
and of course this is a nice tie-in down
6:11
here
6:16
animal crackers and a couple t-shirts
6:16
well a short sleeve and then also this
6:18
long sleeve sweater style well not
6:20
sweater style but long sleeve oh and
6:22
there's a dvc membership i was talking
6:23
to a cast member a little bit ago down
6:25
there in that little circular area
6:27
that's kind of fenced off
6:29
and he was saying that
6:30
the animals are fed every four to five
6:33
hours and they kind of mix it up they do
6:35
not have a specific time but a truck
6:38
will roll out
6:40
you know at different times every four
6:41
or five hours but they don't want to
6:43
have a specific time for the animals
6:45
just to
6:46
to not have them on a specific schedule
6:48
got some birds strutting by as well
6:51
also said that the heat
6:53
keeps the animals from
6:55
from being too
6:56
rambunctious at this moment when the sun
6:58
goes down and the weather cools down a
7:00
little bit there might be a little more
7:02
a little more activity heading up to the
7:04
third level third floor level three my
7:07
room is ready third floor going down no
7:11
i'm not going down i'm going through
7:13
level three i was on level two for the
7:15
lobby now i'm on level three
7:18
which is where my room is
7:20
which will most likely
7:23
be looking out over this
7:25
kind of same angle
7:27
like that
7:36
an invitation mask
7:36
of the conga was danced during a
7:38
ceremony to honor the passage
7:41
of its wearer into adulthood
7:55
starting to realize i'm a pretty good
7:55
ways
7:57
from the lobby i am all the way
8:00
down this direction
8:41
and just like that at 3 23
8:42
while looking at the coffee here along
8:43
the
8:44
the counter
8:45
let
8:47
it's not an official room tour until
8:49
okay now
8:50
official room tour
8:53
so i was able to check in 37 well
8:56
probably 40 minutes before it did take
8:57
probably 10 minutes to walk down here
9:00
but there is a toaster
9:01
a microwave
9:03
we have the proper
9:05
joffrey's artesian roasted coffee
9:10
oh
9:11
a lot of non-decaf i like that those are
9:14
all non-decaffeinated cream and sugar
9:17
as well the sink
9:19
a mini fridge
9:21
down here
9:23
which is nice
9:28
and this is the look
9:28
from the front door into the bedroom
9:30
section
9:31
got a trash can down here an attached
9:34
door
9:35
for
9:36
neighbors
9:38
over there
9:40
restroom over in here
9:52
very nice and of course
9:52
h2o plus ocean
9:56
all the disney resorts have those
9:58
got a makeup mirror if you
10:01
need that
10:03
nice size mirror here
10:05
oh a separate
10:07
okay this is nice even though it's just
10:08
me staying here but there is a separate
10:12
for the tub and shower
10:14
and then for this room so you don't have
10:16
to worry
10:17
about sharing that
10:19
while someone else is getting ready
10:21
over here if you have
10:23
there's only one sink though not two
10:25
sinks i've stayed in somewhere they have
10:27
two sinks there's only one
10:29
there's only one there
10:31
and a tub also
10:34
not just a shower style but also a tub
10:36
if you feel like taking a bath
10:38
as well
10:40
right up there you also got this which
10:42
is for
10:43
hanging up the bathing suits
10:45
you go swimming
10:47
and then over here more of the h2o plus
10:50
ocean very nice
10:52
now i know it's not in any way
10:54
but this reminds me a little bit of the
10:56
shining carpet
11:03
it's not but it just when i first saw
11:03
that's what i thought of
11:05
danny's not here mrs torrance
11:09
don't worry gonna get to the view
11:12
soon enough gotta do the grand tour safe
11:14
to say
11:15
this is where you put your money right
11:17
and also the ironing board
11:19
and well ironing board there and then in
11:22
front of the ironing board the iron the
11:24
extra pillow and blanket
11:27
right up top there
11:28
you have some
11:30
probably put your clothes
11:32
in here yep
11:34
that's what that is i guess right on
11:35
that
11:37
nice
11:38
this is looking back down
11:41
the hallway towards the kitchen area
11:43
you know not really much of a kitchen
11:45
area but
11:46
for coffee in the mini fridge and
11:48
whatnot theming of the lights
11:51
through here you put your luggage on
11:52
here if you so choose
11:54
the chest of drawers
11:56
right through here
11:58
oh over here too
12:00
see if the gideons were here
12:03
yep
12:04
there we go
12:07
of course all the cleanliness happening
12:10
a little take a long guide to the magic
12:13
here's the bed
12:15
probably
12:16
full size
12:18
perhaps plenty for me
12:20
also this is a pull out couch
12:23
let's see
12:24
oh yeah
12:25
pull out couch just turns into a bed
12:33
some nice little artwork
12:33
along the walls
12:34
a coffee table
12:36
and of course got my bag over here
12:38
a dvc bag
12:40
yeah nice theming
12:42
another mirror up top there
12:45
television set decent size
12:52
and the most important thing a ceiling
12:52
fan
12:54
oh yeah this is a big deal for me a
12:56
little bit different when i was over at
12:58
jambo house a while back
13:04
not the room so much the room was pretty
13:04
close but
13:07
this is not the parking lot side
13:10
this is the savannah side
13:13
also oh it is warm out here after being
13:15
in the ac a bit
13:17
i think i'm going to close this just to
13:19
keep the air in
13:21
yeah florida for the humidity there's a
13:24
zebra on this chair
13:25
there's one chair
13:27
and if i want to switch chairs
13:29
go over here there's another chair
13:32
and there's also a balcony over there as
13:35
well i am on the third floor
13:43
oh here we go
13:45
i see an animal right there grazing
13:49
you don't have to tell me i get it i
13:51
understand why you're over there in the
13:52
shade
13:53
it is toasty out here
13:56
both of you over there just enjoying the
13:59
being out of the sun
14:00
i get it
14:03
one of their friends over there between
14:04
those two there's three trees right in
14:07
the middle of the screen there
14:08
also in the shade
14:10
very peaceful and quiet
14:13
tucked away back over in this area in
14:15
this corner
14:16
there's no one else out on their
14:18
balconies at this hour granted
14:21
technical check-in is until four so that
14:23
might have something to do with it i
14:25
might be one of the first ones to have
14:26
checked in
14:27
this early
14:29
you see those rooms all back over there
14:32
stretching all the way around
14:35
that way over to
14:37
right about over there
14:39
was where i started yeah it's a good
14:40
example
14:42
so where the lobby is
14:44
is over there
14:46
so i walked all
14:47
the way around
14:49
from the lobby
14:51
meandered all along here
14:53
all along here all along here
14:55
and made it to my room it might not be a
14:57
bad idea to go see if i can just get
15:00
some bread service over at sana
15:03
before it gets too busy
15:05
so i'd have to walk all the way back
15:06
around to there and that would give time
15:08
for the sun to go down
15:10
and the you know the animals will come
15:12
out a little bit later when the sun goes
15:14
down it is 93 degrees right now out
15:16
there
15:18
feels much warmer than that
15:21
there's also these
15:23
these drapes here these curtains
15:27
if you so choose
15:29
which i am
15:35
18 points
15:35
checking in tonight checking out in the
15:36
morning
15:37
18 points out of my 150 that i have per
15:41
year
15:42
not too bad
15:43
it's a little over my average
15:46
i try to stay about 15 on the average so
15:48
that way i get 10 stays a year sometimes
15:50
i'll do ones that are only 10 or 12
15:52
points so it kind of evens out now
15:53
making the walk back down to the lobby
15:55
area and then downstairs to
15:58
sana
16:00
oh yeah i do love the bread service made
16:02
it out onto the bottom level to sana
16:06
oh yeah love this place now i have
16:08
chosen to sit at one of these little
16:09
stools right here
16:11
along the bar you can also sit over in
16:13
this area because as of right now at
16:16
this time frame the restaurant at this
16:18
time of the day that is is not open just
16:21
decided i would go that option and go
16:23
ahead and get my meal on but i'm gonna
16:24
walk over here and look at some of the
16:26
animals they said i could walk over to
16:27
this area oh yeah there's a giraffe over
16:29
there look there's a giraffe off in the
16:30
distance oh yeah this could be good for
16:32
later when i'm at my room yeah so if you
16:34
want bread service you do not have to
16:35
wait you don't have to be here during
16:37
the down time you can go over to that
16:39
area over there at any time of the day
16:41
and they will give you the bread service
16:43
well you have to pay for it but the
16:45
bread service is always open all day
16:48
unlike the restaurant here that closes
16:49
at certain times i ended up getting a
16:51
coca-cola over here with a paper straw
16:54
and they also brought a water it's very
16:56
kind of unusual for me to be sitting at
16:58
a bar stool at a bar because i do not
17:01
drink so it's a little
17:03
it's a little unusual
17:04
just kind of sitting here
17:07
but it's the only option to get the
17:08
bread service now but i don't usually
17:10
sit sit at a bar like this i guess i
17:13
could have said it's that table there or
17:15
that table over in the corner but i
17:17
opted just to kind of be right here
17:20
on one of these stools
17:22
all right the bread has arrived
17:25
sauces
17:31
now these are all different types of
17:32
bread right not just are they different
17:33
flavors there's all just one flavor yeah
17:34
there's five different styles of bread
17:36
you have working three of them are the
17:38
same bread with different flavorings
17:41
okay so you've got your
17:43
top which will be a
17:45
spicy naan second is garlic ginger third
17:47
is traditional which is just basically a
17:50
ghee or a butter all right
17:52
fourth should be the paneer paratha
17:54
which is paneer cheese herbs and spinach
17:56
baked into your bread
17:57
the fifth one is going to be onion
17:58
culture with red onions and mozzarella
18:00
cheese okay so one two three five
18:02
different types of naan bread fair
18:04
enough excellent then you've got nine
18:06
sauces that go from mild all the way
18:07
around the horn of africa and back to
18:09
wild
18:10
cucumber raita mango chutney oh sorry
18:13
those aren't in order okay so cucumber
18:15
raita tamara and chutney
18:18
roasted
18:20
roasted tomato and date jam
18:23
see the coriander chutney synonymous
18:26
with cilantro roasted red bell pepper
18:28
hummus garlic pickle jalapeno lime
18:31
pickle
18:32
mango chutney and then the red chili
18:35
slim ball i'm gonna do a little switch
18:37
here for you okay you did good when they
18:39
they mixed them up on you they mixed
18:40
them up
18:50
you're probably in the habit of saying
18:50
them all in order some days
18:52
you know this is supposed to go i'm not
18:55
gonna know the difference it doesn't
18:56
really matter
18:57
but i i do
19:00
all right there you go
19:01
which is your favorite out of these um i
19:03
actually like a combination i use the
19:05
tamarind and the coriander and mix them
19:07
together okay all right thanks for the
19:08
info you're welcome
19:10
okay so some of these are going to be
19:12
spicy now i've had these before in fact
19:14
last time i stayed here at jambo house i
19:16
walked all the way over here and had
19:18
this actually sat at one of the tables
19:20
in this little kind of bar section
19:22
instead of up here at the one of the
19:24
stools that table is being occupied by
19:27
others at the moment it's a good thing i
19:28
got two beverages because
19:30
i'm going to be thirsty after drinking
19:31
some of the spicy stuff oh man i love
19:34
non-breath i highly recommend this place
19:37
if you're ever here or even not staying
19:39
book a reservation or book a walk-up and
19:42
come get some nandra okay i think i'm
19:44
going to start off over here with this i
19:47
believe i remember this being pretty
19:48
good here it almost looks like a
19:50
like a sour cream of some sort i don't
19:53
think it is sour cream
19:54
i'm going to start off
19:56
with
19:57
with that right there i do not remember
19:59
anything of what he said as far as what
20:00
the flavors are but trust me they are
20:02
all good
20:03
they are all
20:04
really good i guess i could just rewind
20:06
the footage
20:07
and go that route with it but man just
20:09
like to tear tear this off
20:12
and go in
20:13
if we can tear it off and really the
20:15
best way to eat it is with no silverware
20:17
just almost go in and devour it
20:25
i'm gonna try a little bit of this green
20:25
and a little bit of the sour cream
20:27
looking stuff
20:31
and if you're wondering why i have my
20:31
magic band on
20:35
that's what got me into my room
20:36
it's all done mobily
20:39
not going to a theme park today
20:45
all right now i'm going to take this and
20:46
kind of mix in
20:48
with this red sauce i have a feeling
20:50
this might be kind of warm
20:52
that might be kind of warm i don't know
20:54
let's just give a little mixture here
20:55
let me get a little bit of this
20:57
a little bit of that
20:59
and go in that way on it see if you can
21:02
hear the crunch
21:07
that sour cream looking sauce is my
21:07
favorite i wish i could have like four
21:09
or five
21:10
batches of that
21:11
just reinformed this is cucumbers
21:15
a little bit of yogurt and jalapenos
21:19
yeah i think that might be my favorite
21:27
totally choose what naan you want
21:27
if you've never joined us before i
21:28
always recommend getting all five
21:31
then on your next visit you can pick and
21:33
choose if there's one you didn't care
21:34
for we're talking about the bread but
21:35
not the sauces the sauces you can go all
21:38
one sauce or change them up as well okay
21:40
we're flexible like that it's good to
21:42
know okay i'm just going to kind of have
21:44
a little a little mishmash of everything
21:47
i'm going to go all in
21:50
swipe it in there and
21:52
yeah i'm going to go with this here
21:59
i keep reusing the same spoons i didn't
21:59
i well i realized that but i've
22:01
forgotten that each one comes with their
22:02
own little spoon
22:03
there's a lot of spoons
22:05
i'm gonna go in on some of this it's
22:06
just kind of like
22:08
like a fruity style this almost kind of
22:10
looks like
22:11
like a pancake
22:13
what kind of flavor was this again the
22:15
the next one yeah this this one here
22:17
that's the paneer paratha so it's paneer
22:19
cheese or some spinach baked into the
22:21
bread cheese herbs and spinach mix into
22:24
the bread
22:25
that's got to be good and the last one
22:27
is the onion culture with red onions and
22:29
mozzarella okay all right thanks
22:35
in our sinuses
22:35
one of these is really hot
22:37
which is the hottest one
22:39
i just ate one that was really hot
22:41
this one here yeah
22:43
okay i'll remember not to eat that one
22:47
could be some of the bread too though
22:49
bread doesn't maybe yeah
22:50
i can feel which one's the not hottest
22:52
one
22:59
it ranges from spiciest to non-spicy so
22:59
it goes like this
23:00
so this would be spicy so this one is
23:02
spiciest and then and then it keeps
23:03
going like that okay so this is like
23:05
mild that's more that's more mild yeah
23:07
okay that's like a peanut sauce right
23:10
no it's funny oh it's hummus okay
23:11
i can't do the hummus my gosh that was
23:14
an amazing meal and now stepping back
23:17
out on this balcony there are a few
23:19
giraffes out
23:20
that is so cool three giraffes wait
23:23
there's four giraffes that's the fourth
23:25
one now
23:26
walking across there so one
23:29
two
23:31
three and four behind that tree i think
23:33
that giraffe's name is brooklyn
23:36
he called call the giraffe over a name
23:39
name said you want one brooklyn look
23:42
book is being fed right there
24:01
interesting tale for you
24:01
yeah
24:10
oh really good angle there
24:10
of the two of them going in on the bark
24:12
of the tree
24:14
i'm back up on the third level now
24:16
walk into my room
24:18
hoping once i get over there i get a
24:20
pretty good view
24:21
of the giraffes or maybe the zebras
24:24
trucks pulling around
24:29
dropping off the feed
24:31
giraffes running beside oh just ran in
24:33
front
24:38
the first thing i want to do which would
24:38
not work would be
24:40
to whistle or call them
24:48
but that isn't gonna have no effect
24:48
they're probably immune to that
24:59
okay savannah view
25:00
much better than the parking lot view
25:17
well worth it
25:17
just look at this
25:23
there's a giraffe right there outside of
25:23
my room
25:24
right there
25:25
and zebras
25:26
we're drawing a blank on what this is
25:28
called
25:29
the expansiveness of the savannah
25:34
giraffe is moving now the giraffe is
25:36
moving
25:52
it's like one's own private safari
25:52
staying here
25:58
this small little herd is
26:00
moved in over here under the trees
26:03
that one is rustling around in the
26:04
foliage there
26:06
very large horns down there
26:08
just kind of been lounging around most
26:11
the late afternoon into the early
26:13
evening went ahead and bruta
26:15
not quite a full cup of coffee or a full
26:18
pot of coffee
26:19
but did brew up a little
26:22
a little here a couple glasses worth
26:25
throughout the evening
26:27
got some cream and sugar down there on
26:28
the bottom
26:36
go back out of the balcony a piping hot
26:36
caffeinated
26:38
beverage oh
26:41
yeah there
26:42
are oh we can't go through that here
26:44
slowly don't spill it
26:53
what the heck look at this
27:03
wow
27:06
they're all chasing after the cart
27:09
well
27:10
maybe not chasing after the car but
27:11
they're all running that way
27:13
with the golf cart driving by
27:16
what's that noise that was one of the
27:18
animals making that noise
27:19
must have dropped off some fresh food up
27:23
and that little feeder in the side of
27:25
the tree
27:29
got the sun setting over there the cloud
27:29
formations look very beautiful
27:32
the sun glistening
27:34
over the top of the top of the building
27:38
and then of course the savannah down
27:39
here below
29:40
believe there's also some heat lightning
29:40
or maybe even real lightning over there
29:42
in the distance
30:05
gonna get a little late evening
30:07
well late night
30:10
post sunset
30:12
nightfall has reared its head
30:15
truck
30:16
pulling by feeding here
30:23
tough to see down there
30:23
got their headlights on
30:28
trying to block the road but did not
30:28
stop the truck from going by
30:38
and of course you have neighbors so you
30:38
can hear the neighbors
30:39
who are inside their
30:41
hotel room or on their balcony
30:45
