Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House

The resort and its setting

Jambo House is one of two villa buildings that make up Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, a Disney Vacation Club timeshare resort at 2901 Osceola Pkwy, Kissimmee, FL 34747. The resort is built around a savanna theme, with lodge-style architecture, African-inspired décor and interiors, and views over grazing animal habitats from many of the villas. As a Disney Vacation Club property, units range from studios up to larger multi-bedroom villas with kitchens, making it well suited to families or groups who want more space than a standard hotel room. Guest feedback (4.7/5 from 418 reviews) consistently highlights the resort's atmosphere and theming.

The area and things to do

Kissimmee sits in Orange County, central Florida, right at the doorstep of the Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, including Disney's Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios. The wider Orlando area is one of the most visited holiday destinations in the United States, built almost entirely around theme park tourism, so owners and renters typically come for multi-day park visits rather than a quiet beach break. Beyond the Disney parks, the Kissimmee/Orlando area also has other well-known attractions, shopping outlets and restaurant strips geared toward visiting families, making it easy to fill a week with things to do without needing a car for everything.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a timeshare week at Jambo House and no longer use it, you can list it for sale or for rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's an owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is shown to buyers and renters searching the site, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because this is a Disney Vacation Club resort, there are some brand-specific points worth knowing before you list or buy. According to Disney Vacation Club, resale contracts signed from 1 January 2026 carry a $500 Contract Administration Fee. Disney also holds a right of first refusal on resale contracts, meaning the signed contract must be sent to Disney at least 30 days before closing, so Disney can choose to buy the contract back before it transfers to the new owner. Broker estimates put the typical transfer time at around 45 days once a resale deal is agreed. Resale trackers have reported Disney exercising this right of first refusal on anywhere from roughly 3.7% to 15% of resale contracts in 2026, depending on the tracker, so sellers and buyers should factor in that a deal isn't guaranteed to close until this step has passed.

Buyers should also understand what does and doesn't come with a resale purchase: a resale buyer at Jambo House gets the use rights tied to the contract, but Membership Extras are reserved for those who buy directly from Disney, not resale buyers. This restriction is separate from the home-resort-only booking rule that applies to newer resorts like Disney's Riviera Resort — Jambo House resale contracts aren't subject to that particular limitation, but it's worth asking your seller or the resale administrator to confirm exactly what's included before you agree on a price.

Practical notes for owners and renters

If you're renting rather than buying, ask the owner about the size of the villa (studio versus larger multi-bedroom unit), the week or points being offered, and whether the unit has the savanna view the resort is known for, since this can vary depending on the specific room category. Owners listing a rental should be clear about the dates, unit size and any Disney Vacation Club points being used, as this helps renters compare options and book with confidence.
