Hi Jacqueline! Welcome to planDisney!
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village has been a family favorite of ours for quite some time. We love the cozy feel of the main lobby and the savanna being just a few feet away out the back. It truly feels like a home away from home.
The best part about this resort is that all select room types are sprinkled throughout the resort. Whether you decide to stay in a
Deluxe Studio, 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedroom, or Grand Villa, you'll have the chance to potentially be located in close proximity to your daughter's room. Even though you are not a member of the Disney Vacation Club, you can still book a room at this resort directly through the Walt Disney World website. Once your room reservation is confirmed, you'll need to
call the Disney Resort Hotel Reservations line to request your room be located near your daughter's room. While these requests are not guaranteed, the Cast Member will do their best to accommodate you when assigning your resort room.
If you build in time for a pool day, the
Samawati Springs Pool at Kidani Village is the perfect oasis for the entire family. The little ones can splash around in Uwanja Camp, which is a water playground connected to the main pool area. There is a pool bar located toward the entrance that has a delicious assortment of food and drink offerings. We've dedicated an entire day to just splashing around and enjoying this aspect of the resort.
Jacqueline, I hope you have a magical time enjoying all that Animal Kingdom Villas has to offer. Make sure to grab an Advanced Dining Reservation at
Sanaa, which is located just steps away in the main lobby. The food is authentic and creative with some of the most flavorful dishes you will try. Plus, you get a view of the savanna with animals roaming around just outside the window.
Happy planning!
Greg
