FROG FAMILY REVIEW
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village*
What we love
- One of the most fun resorts, with savanna-view studios and villas; and plenty of opportunities to see the animals on the grounds
- One of the best restaurants on property in Sanaa, which serves traditional Indian and African dishes (plus American favorites)
- More terrific dining options, including the best buffet on property in Boma, at nearby Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
- Zero-entry Samawati Springs Pool has one of the best slides and splash area that includes water cannons; grownups will love the bar
- One of the nicest gyms on property
- 1-Bedrooms can sleep 5
- Free parking!
Keep in Mind
- Hotel charges $39 per night (sales tax included) for valet parking
- Furthest deluxe resort from Magic Kingdom® Park
- Not on monorail or accessible to parks by boat; requires bus or car
- About half the rooms offer views of the savanna and animals
- Main feature pool isn't as close to rooms as most other resorts and can be quite a distance from furthest rooms
- Furthest studios and villas are quite far from the lobby and pool
- Room decor is beautiful but quite dark
- No water recreational activities
- No on-site quick-service dining; closest location is the Lodge, which is a long walk (shuttle buses are available)
Notable Facts
- Villas are home to 2 savannas, Pembe and Sunset
- Zebras are the only animal that are found on both savannas
- The first phase of the Kidani Village Villas opened in July 2007
- Kidani Village Villas are larger than the Jambo House Villas
Frog Family Tips
- Pick up an animal viewing guide from the front desk if you don't find one in your room
- Request a room on the higher floors for more expansive views; request a room on the 2nd floor to be closer to the animals; the 3rd floor is likely the sweet spot
- Sweet spots are savanna view rooms 7X01-7X93; these are closes to the pool, lobby and dining areas
- Try the bread service at Sanaa with its choice of nine dipping sauces
Best For
- Animal-loving families who want deluxe amenities, including casual and upscale dining, at a lower price point than the monorail resorts

Many of the Official Walt Disney World® Hotels are also within walking distance to the parks and other resorts.
- Early Access to Dining Reservations - Disney Resort guests can make Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) for their entire vacation 60 days in advance, giving them the earliest access to the most popular restaurants such as Cinderella's Royal Table and Be Our Guest.
- Free Wi-Fi - When staying on-site, you'll have access to complimentary wi-fi, available in your room and select public areas, such as the pools, arcades, restaurants and more.
- Recreation and Fitness Activities - Disney Resort hotels offer a variety of wellness activities through Disney Family Wellness. Some favorites include dancing to Disney songs, family fun walks and, yes, even pickleball!
- Travel Light with MagicBands - Guests of Official Walt Disney World® Hotels can check out MagicBands that let them into the theme parks, unlock their Disney Resort hotel room, link Disney PhotoPass photos, make purchases and more – just with a tap of their band!
