Guest with Daisy Duck, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Overview

The Kidani Villas are located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Featuring over 30 species of wildlife that roam free amidst a 21-acre wildlife preserve that includes lush, tropical savannas, Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village offers you the unique opportunity to observe exotic animals in their natural habitat from special viewing areas throughout the Resort – and from the balconies of select Guest rooms.

Magic Touches

The lobby and the Villas of Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village extend out and take the curlicue shape of a water buffalo's horns. This string of buildings can also be viewed as a piece of native African jewellery, a 'necklace' with Villas forming the beads, garden-like walkways creating the "knots" in between and the main lobby building as the ornament or jewel at its centre.
Dining

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Villas gives guests the opportunity to try authentic African cuisine, with dishes like grilled seafood and roasted meats inspired by the flavours of over 50 African countries. There’s also American classics like burgers and pizza.

Slightly disappointed this year with several big rides closed for refurb, but have to say the New Tron ride is brilliant.

By far our favourite park. Having children with additional needs they found the interactive rides at this park amazing. The moana walk through experience was a great experience. Epcot is great in the day but also it’s a must to visit at night.

Magic kingdom was one of our favourite parks. We also purchased extra tickets for the Mickey”s Very merry Christmas party through attraction tickets which was amazing. Again the ease of the free magic bands was a great addition to park days.

We went once to Disneys Hollywood studios using attraction tickets. Great park and having the ease of free magic bands provided by attraction tickets was great. Was really easy to link the tickets to the magic bands allowing quick entry.
