My family became Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members in 2011. We were able to use our points, in our home resort, this past June. Our resort is the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We stayed at the regular version back in 2008. This was when Kidani Village was still being built.
This hotel is tied for first (along with the Polynesian), in my top hotels list. I love the atmosphere and I love being able to see animals outside my balcony.
Below are some photos and more details about the hotel.
Below is the lobby. The decorations are authentic pieces from different parts of Africa. It always amazes me how detailed Disney is in everything that they do.
This is the view from our balcony. Since we had a DVC villa, we had two balconies. Our hotel consisted of a master bedroom/bathroom, a kitchenette, couch bed, dining table and a second bathroom. It was huge! For 5 people it was just perfect.
This is what we saw everyday. All of the animals came around here throughout the day.
I love towel animals!
Everything was themed to the Lion King. This is the master bed's headboard.
The massive master bath.
This Lion King scene was around the shower.
Even the curtains were themed!
Animals around the lodge.
Kidani Village has a lot of things to offer. There is one restaurant, called Sanaa. We did not eat there, so I can't give you a review on that. The pool was really nice, we don't spend much time swimming on our vacations anymore though.
There is easy transportation to the other half of the lodge, Jambo House. You just have to get on the bus and ride it over to the other lobby. That way you can access the other restaurants and pool.
This hotel is fairly expensive (even more if you want a Savannah view room to get better views of the animals). I believe that it is well worth it. It is such a unique experience to wake up and see such exotic animals. It is something only Disney can do and they do it so well.
