The Kidani Villas are located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Featuring over 30 species of wildlife that roam free amidst a 21-acre wildlife preserve that includes lush, tropical savannas, Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village offers you the unique opportunity to observe exotic animals in their natural habitat from special viewing areas throughout the Resort – and from the balconies of select Guest rooms.

Magic Touches

The lobby and the Villas of Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village extend out and take the curlicue shape of a water buffalo's horns. This string of buildings can also be viewed as a piece of native African jewellery, a 'necklace' with Villas forming the beads, garden-like walkways creating the "knots" in between and the main lobby building as the ornament or jewel at its centre.
Dining

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Villas gives guests the opportunity to try authentic African cuisine, with dishes like grilled seafood and roasted meats inspired by the flavours of over 50 African countries. There’s also American classics like burgers and pizza.

Very pleased with the tickets they worked perfectly. The only problem this time and previously with these tickets is at the beginning. Such a shame sending plastic tickets stopped it was so simple. Now after paying setting up on a computer etc quite complex and off putting for many definitely needs simplifying. Then queuing at Disney for plastic tickets in case phone signal goes annoying and very time consuming. Had gorgeous plastic tickets at Disney took an hour queuing but why can’t Attraction Tickets just send them.
