Jambo, Leah!
As a fellow Disney Vacation Club Member, I'm happy to welcome you to planDisney. While there are
so many amazing Disney Vacation Club Resorts to choose from when I visit Walt Disney World Resort,
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village always tops the list for me. With its incredible theming and intimate setting (not to mention those views of the savannah as I drink my morning coffee!), it truly feels like I'm off on an African adventure. I'm so excited to hear that you'll be visiting this beautiful Resort later this year –– I think you're going to love it!
The first thing that comes to mind when you think of
Disney Vacation Club perks might be the discounts and Member-exclusive events like
Moonlight Magic, but there's one great benefit of Membership that often gets overlooked –– parking! Not only do Disney Vacation Club Members enjoy
complimentary standard overnight self-parking when staying at a Disney Vacation Club Resort, but that benefit also includes complimentary parking at Walt Disney World theme parks, as well. And the best part? Each registered Guest on your reservation is welcome to park a vehicle at the Resort for free during your stay. That means if you have nine adults staying in your
2-Bedroom Villa, you could park up to nine cars at Kidani Village throughout your visit.
In addition to the beautiful setting, Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village is also home to
Sanaa, one of my favorite restaurants in all of Walt Disney World Resort. If you enjoy African and Indian-inspired flavors, or you're ready to branch out and try something new, I definitely recommend making an advance dining reservation for the restaurant during your visit. Along with incredible entrees, Sanaa is also known for its famous Indian-style bread service (seriously, it's so good that I dream about it back home), and here's the coolest part –– you don't even need a reservation to enjoy it. You can place a
mobile food order for Sanaa To Go and enjoy bread service back at your villa. One of my favorite things to do is place a bread-service order while we're returning to the Resort on the bus, so it's ready once we arrive. It's the perfect snack after a long day in the parks!
I'm so glad you found your way to planDisney, Leah. If you think of more planning questions as your Walt Disney World Resort vacation gets closer, I hope you'll visit us again –– we're always here to help!
Happy Planning,
Amy
