    We are staying at Port Orleans’s French Quarter in a few weeks and we would like to go to Sanaa for breakfast and then spend some time at Animal Kingdom. What is the best way to do this?

    Greetings Pauline and welcome to planDisney! 

    First off, congratulations on picking Disney’s Port Orleans Resort-French Quarter for your magical adventure! It is my absolute favorite moderate resort! Make sure you take some time to enjoy a night of jazz music at Scat Cat’s Club Lounge! It is such an intimate setting, and the acoustics are perfect! They feature live jazz music Thursday through Sunday at 7:30 p.m.  

    Now, to get you to Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas-Kidani Village! You have a complimentary option depending on your reservation time. You could take the complimentary bus from the French Quarter to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park where you would transfer to a resort bus that would shuttle you to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Kidani Village. Make sure you listen to the bus driver and get off at the Kidani stop!  After your scrumptious feast at Sanaa, you would board the theme park bus back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to fly with the Banshees and enjoy the Festival of the Lion King! 

    Pauline, if your reservation time was really early and you didn’t want to deal with the bus transfers, you could consider hiring a ride share service to get you to Sanaa. You could even add some major pixie dust to your trip and call on the Minnie Van connected by Lyft to transport you to your magical meal! After your meal you can use the complimentary bus service to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to enjoy the rest of your day! 

    Pauline, Sanaa is spectacular! The Kidani Village Breakfast at Sanaa is the perfect start to the day! Have a great adventure and don’t forget to enjoy a Mickey Bar or two!
