Jambo, Shelby and welcome to planDisney!
Shelby, I am thrilled to chat with you about your upcoming trip. My family and I were able to stay a few nights at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas- Kidani Village in August and I hope that our experiences can help in your planning. I can tell you firsthand that while there are a few differences since Walt Disney World Resort is still in its phased reopening, the Magic is there and waiting for you.
First, let's talk about your coffee needs! Shelby, I'm happy to report that YES, you will find full size drip-style coffee pots in all of the Villa options. Shelby, while my morning doesn't officially start until I have that first sip of coffee, I never skip breakfast and when we visited Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas- Kidani Village, we took advantage of the quick-service breakfast at
Sanaa. With its innovative menu and gorgeous views of the animals, this restaurant is one of my favorites at Walt Disney World and is currently open and welcoming guests. For dinner and lunch, Sanaa is table-service and I recommend advanced dining reservations. Shelby, I can't get enough of the
Indian-style Bread Service!
Now, if you are lounging pool side and want a quick bite, stop by the
Maji Pool Bar for a selection of snacks, sandwiches and drinks. Shelby, make sure to keep an eye on the time because the pool bar stops serving at 7:00 PM. You are also able to pick up some pre-packaged snacks and drinks at
Johari Treasures. I discovered zebra domes in the refrigerator case and don't mind sharing that we enjoyed those as a bedtime snack every night!
Next, since you asked about transportation, you will find that
Disney Bus Transportation is open and available from Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas to all four parks and Disney Springs. When we are at Disney Springs, my husband's favorite spot to grab a drink and a few appetizers is
Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar. We love how highly themed this place is and are never disappointed.
Shelby, I hope this helps as you are dreaming about your November vacation. Please come back and see us here at planDisney with any other questions you might have.
Hakuna Matata!
