Hi Michaelle,
How wonderful that your father has gifted you with a stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas! Whether you are staying at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village or
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House, this resort is so beautiful. I love the rich decor, and of course, seeing the exotic animals outside is amazing.
To change from a one-bedroom villa to a deluxe studio will change the number of vacation points required for the stay. Therefore, I think that it is best to ask your father to call Disney Vacation Club Member Services at 1-800-800-9800 to see if this change is available. You should have your father call because in order to call Disney Vacation Club member services, you need to be a Disney Vacation Club member.
If the change is not possible, do not worry! There are fantastic views of the animals and savannas from so many of the common areas, and even from huge windows as you walk to your villa.
I hope that this information is helpful for you, Michaelle. Have a wonderful time planning your vacation, and please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
