My stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village was a blend of tranquil savanna views and mixed experiences. I loved the scenic views from my balcony where I could watch giraffes roam. However, I found the room somewhat dated and lacking that signature Disney charm. The dining experience at Sanaa was a highlight, showcasing unique flavors, though the overall vibe of the resort didn’t fully live up to its deluxe label.

My stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village was a wonderful experience, especially with the stunning giraffe views from my room.

The Kidani Village pool was a fun area, with great splash zones for kids. I loved that there was a laundry facility available, which I found very useful during the hot weather. Just be aware that the pool at Jambo House was under construction during my stay.

I had a fantastic time at Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village! The savanna views from my room were unparalleled, allowing for daily animal watching, especially the giraffes. While my accommodations were beautiful and spacious, the service needs improvement as I encountered some issues with front desk responsiveness and cleanliness at the pool. Overall, the resort’s amenities and activities make it a unique experience, but if you're expecting the high-level service, it might not live up to that standard. 🦒🌟

My stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village was a mix of great experiences and some disappointments. I absolutely loved watching the animals from the savanna views on my balcony, but I found the distance to Jambo House and the limited dining options to be an inconvenience. While the pool area was fantastic, with great features for kids, the walking distance from the lobby to the rooms was a challenge, especially for my group. Overall, it provided a unique experience but had some notable downsides.

My stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village was very nice. the theming made me feel like I was immersing myself in Africa, complete with stunning savanna views from my balcony. The spacious accommodations were perfect for my family, especially with three full bathrooms in the 2-bedroom villa. however, the quick-service food options were quite limited, which was disappointing. Overall, the unique experience, coupled with friendly staff and abundant activities, made it a five-star stay.
