First off, we are Disney Vacation Club members who recently added points to our membership by purchasing at Animal Kingdom. For our inaugural stay, we stayed here for 4 nights this month in a studio. Having done no prior research, we lucked out and got a room on the lobby level only one building's-length corridor away from the Front Desk.... More

This Resort was great. Very clean and a lot to do. Animals were great to watch, community room had a lot to do and plenty of activities for the kids. Only bad thing is that other then the Animal Kingdom, it is a little farther from the Disney Parks.

I will admit, I am a Disney Hard Core vacationer and believe me I will be very honest in my review of my home resort. After all I am invested financially and do have expectations for my vacation club that I look forward to every year! I must say, this last stay was probably the most impressed ive ever been... More

Beautiful view, rooms, service, resort! Activities for the kids and dining are right on site. Check out the animals with Night Vision Goggles. Small disney store on site. Waterpark is awesome. Buses transport you to and from the parks and shopping with ease. Best vacation our family has had yet!

Me, my daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren spent a week at the Kidani Village in a 2 bedroom suite, which was just beautiful. There were three bathrooms! and a washer and dryer in the suite. The hotel is gorgeous, and our balcony that looked out at the savannah was so cool. The kids got up early every morning to watch... More

Disney is Disney is wonderful. But the atmosphere in Animal Kingdom's Kidani Village is a step above. You have all the amenities of Disney plus the real feel of another place and culture. Whether you are in a savannah view room or not, you will have ample opportunity to see and enjoy the animals. The lobby is amazing, the restaurants... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at Kidani Village with our two young boys. When you step off the shuttle to the entrance of Kidani, the door man says, “Welcome Home!”, and he means it! B/c this is the DVC part of the resort, it is designed to feel smaller scale and “cozier” than Jambo across the savanna… Cool... More

We and another family had a 2 bedroom, 3 bath suite that we purchased with rented Disney Vacation Club points. The 2 bedroom suite was the size of three large/standard rooms put together with bedrooms on the ends and a large living area in the middle. The set-up was great for our two families and having a full kitchen and... More

We stayed at Kidani Village as this is our home base for DVC. We absolutely loved it here. The resort is quiet and gorgeous, which is a nice reprieve from the bustle of Disney. Our kids loved the pool and waterside. And the savanna view from our balcony was amazing. Loved seeing giraffes and zebras and other exotic animals walk... More

Arrived in the dark and we were greeted with an entrance lit by only oil lamps! What a way to begin an African adventure! Our one bedroom Disney Vacation Club villa was in perfect condition with two full baths, service for eight and a master suite!
