This is my last night at Jambo, then we move to SWAN. I have really enjoyed this resort but in general the bus service was pretty bad last week. Apparently over the weekend it had a miraculous recovery but by that time I started using the car I rented...I did nothing but the bus for 3 solid days and it ....well for lack of a better word it just sucked. Even the wait for AK was long. we never waited less than 15 minutes for a bus. It took anywhere from 15 minutes ( to AK from AKL) to 55 minutes (Disney Springs) on the actual trip part once we boarded. In general the entire experience reminded me why I never trust the logistics of my travel to another party.
That being said , the resort it great. Fantastic pool, lots of chairs, lots of secluded private areas to lounge poolside, play area, working hot tubs... And the food choices...maybe the best food on property. I can't find a thing bad about Mara and just have nothing but positive, the dining area is clean, the condiments are out where you can see them, the line for paying goes quickly, even the line for ordering moves pretty swift at peak hours. And the food selections and quality are really good. Serious, other than the pita bread being standard fare, the chicken pita sandwich was excellent, and they even gave me half french fries and half couscous. And BOMA might be the best buffet at WDW. And the bread service at Sanaa is a must. So many activities for the kids throughout the day and early evening. Nice gift shop. I have had better mousekeeping but no real complaints. Haven't even talked about all the opportunities to view the animals.....
It's been lovely 6 days. Almost sorry to move over to the SWAN...but I'm really fond of the EPCOT area....
