Welcome to planDisney, Ruth! We are glad you brought your question to us today.
Sanaa Lounge is a small space within the restaurant Sanaa at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village. The lounge has just a few tables and bar seating, and offers cocktails and appetizers. Sanaa Lounge is first-come, first-served, and does not accept reservations.
Now, while I certainly could make a meal of the
Indian-style Bread Service and Samosas in the lounge, since you mentioned lunch I am guessing that you might be interested in booking a table in the restaurant itself, where you can order off the full
lunch menu and dine with a view of the savanna. You do not need to have an iPhone to make dining reservations. Although dining reservations can be made via the
My Disney Experience mobile app, you can also
make dining reservations online. To search for an available table, use the blue "Check Availability" button on
this webpage for the restaurant Sanaa. If you are having difficulty making dining reservations online, you can try calling (407) WDW-DINE. You are certainly welcome to ask a Cast Member at the host stand if there is availability.
I thought I should mention that
parking at Disney Resort Hotels is limited to overnight Guests and those with confirmed dining reservations. If you plan to only visit the lounge, it will be up to the discretion of the security guard at the entrance to the resort whether or not you will be granted access. If you will be visiting a theme park earlier in the day, you are welcome to use Disney
bus transportation to travel to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.
I hope that helps! Please stop by and see us again if you have any additional questions.
