Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas is the eighth Disney Vacation Club timeshare resort, and the fifth located at the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels which was built on what was formerly the site of a large Retention basin.[1]
The development was originally announced in October 2006 and the first phase opened in the summer of 2007. Included in this phase were 134 remodeled units (216 guest rooms) on the fifth and sixth floors of the existing Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, which opened in 2001. Later construction added 324 units (492 guest rooms) in a new building, Kidani Village, which opened in phases and was completed in 2009. The main building of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is now named Jambo House[2] in order to prevent confusion between the two buildings.[3]
