Spacious and Comfortable

“Staying in a 1 Bedroom Villa was a game-changer for our family. The master bedroom was HUGE, providing ample space for my husband and me, while the kids enjoyed their own sleeping areas. The size of the bathroom was also a luxurious upgrade. Plus, with a full kitchen complete with all necessary utensils, we could prepare breakfast and save money.” view full review

Fun Pool Area

“The pool was simply fantastic! With a large splash pad for the littles and two great water slides for older children, we spent hours enjoying the water. The poolside activities were a hit with my kids too, especially the daily pool parties and games. They loved every moment spent at the pool.” view full review

Amazing In-House Dining

“Our dining experience at Sanaa was excellent! We enjoyed the unique flavors and had a fantastic time trying out the bread service. With a full kitchen in our villa, it was also nice to prepare some meals, saving us money while ensuring everyone had something they liked to eat.” view full review

Wildlife Viewing Experience

“One of the highlights of our stay was the very nice opportunity for animal viewing right from our room. The kids had a blast using night vision goggles to spot animals outside after dark, and we were treated to amazing views of the savanna during daylight hours. It was definitely a unique experience watching wildlife right outside our window.” view full review

Staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village had its ups and downs. While the resort environment was amazing and the nearby animals added an lovely touch, the room amenities were disappointing.
