Jambo, Heidi!
Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to
Disney World! I know you are getting ready for days filled with MAGICAL memories, thrilling rides, and unforgettable moments around every corner. From the moment you step into a Disney Theme Park to the last sparkle of fireworks lighting up the sky, you’ll feel the enchantment all around you. This is going to be a vacation full of fun, laughter, and pure Disney joy!
I have to start off by saying you are going to LOVE staying at
Kidani Village! This resort is like stepping into your very own African safari adventure without ever leaving Disney MAGIC behind! You can sip your morning coffee while watching giraffes, zebras, and gazelles roam the savanna right outside your balcony, which is AH-mazing. The resort is filled with rich details, cozy villas, and a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home after a big day in the parks. I have only stayed here once, and this is one of my all-time favorite resorts at Disney World!
It looks like you have some TIGGER-ific breakfasts planned for your vacation! I personally love the all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast at
Boma! (Make sure you save room for some Sticky Buns!!) As you plan to make your way from Kidani Village to
Jambo House, there is a super convenient shuttle that runs every 10-20 minutes. While Disney doesn’t publish an official “start time” for this shuttle, it generally begins running around the same time as the park buses—about 45 minutes before the first park opens. During your vacation timeframe,
Animal Kingdom is currently showing that
Early Entry for resort guests begins at 7:30 a.m. (NOTE: Times can change at any time.) This means you can expect the shuttle to start running by around 6:45 a.m., giving you plenty of time to head over for your morning feast. Since there isn’t a set schedule posted, it’s always a smart idea to double-check with the front desk when you arrive so you don’t miss your breakfast plans. The ride itself is only about 5 minutes, and it saves you a longer walk—plus it feels like your own private Disney shuttle!
If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!
Have a MAGICAL day!
