We have used a few different grocery delivery services in the past, but all pre-Covid. Post Covid, are there any that no longer deliver to Disney resorts or is it pretty much business as usual for all of them? And, as a follow-up, what are some that any of you have used more recently and been happy with in terms of selection, cost, convenience? We will not be buying alcohol and would rather have our order delivered directly to our room by guest services, even if we have to pay the charge. Thank you for any info.

What activities have come back for AKL? Are there cultural representations?

 

[bluecastle]

Is there any construction going on at Kidani? I seem to remember reading about the bus stop and maybe some other outdoor work.

 

[xfiles3010]

I checked in on Oct 15th, I saw some construction equipment and supplies on the parking lot below bus stop. Not sure whats being worked on.

Count us in for AKL Kidani 1/11/23-1/13/23! It’s the first part of a split stay to celebrate my niece’s 30th and my sister’s 60th (daughter/mother) birthdays! Woo hoo!

My family has a 2 bedroom, savannah view room in Kadani Village booked for March 2023. We have two young kids so we may only visit the parks one or two days total. Most of our time will be spent at the resort and at the pool. Our youngest loves animals and was the reason we booked AKL.

What room requests do you recommend so that we are close to the pool, but also have a great view of the savannah (giraffes, zebras, etc.)?

Any help is appreciated

Ask for "near Rafiki elevators." That puts you on the end nearest the pool - and also close to the lobby - with a view of the Sunset Savanna. See map below.

Is Disney no longer sending out resort confirmation emails? I have my resort reservation number and linked it to MDE but there is no way to see deposits, etc.

Thank you! Another question...what is the best way to make this request? We are renting points. Am I able to call MS or is that route only for DVC members?
