Is Sanaa closed Nov 29-Dec 5? No ADRs

[PHXscuba]

Sanaa is available mutliple times a day starting tomorrow through Thanksgiving, then nothing available from Friday Nov. 29 to Dec 5, then open with plenty of reservations on Dec 6 and 7. The restaurant page lists a special Thanksgiving meal (Nov 28) the day before the no-reservation time.

Is it closed for that week? I can't find anything anywhere official or unofficial about this?

Thx,

Doubt it. The Disney ADR system has a cute little glitch where random restaurants won’t load random days on time. They will suddenly pop up at any point between now and 6 weeks from now

Set a dining alert so you don’t have to keep searching it.

I’m just amazed they already put out their T-Day menu; very un-WDW behavior, lol.

I thought that first off but then Dec 6 and 7 have plenty of openings?

So? I said “random days”… Don’t try to make sense of an IT glitch Disney has happily let run amuck for the last couple years

Does anyone know the current status of the renovations at Sanaa?

On the website, it says, "From September to late December 2024, the exterior of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village will undergo refurbishments. During this time, views of the Sunset Savanna from Sanaa may be obstructed. However, animal viewing will be available from the Savanna Outlook, adjacent to Sanaa, during daytime hours."

I'd like to book lunch there in early January to take my in-laws who are visiting from abroad, but would be disappointed if there was no view from the actual restaurant.

Has anyone been recently and know how it looks now?
