Kidani Village at AKL

[Steamboat Minnie]

During my first stay to Disney World, I was privileged enough to stay at Kidani Village in AKL with a great view of the animals. If you love animals, or if you have any kids that do, this is a great place to stay. Even though I am 19, I turned into a little kid when I saw all the animals. Sitting on the balcony was one of my favorite things to do, morning or night.

Although I did not get to do it, the day we got there we were told there is a tour you can take around the hotel with a guide to see all the animals. They even have special glasses for night vision!

The thatched roofs and many decorations inside truly made me feel like I was in Africa! Also, if you're a fan of the Lion King (it's my favorite movie), you'll love the decorations.

This is the master bathroom, which was HUGE! The tub is big enough to fall asleep in with a Lion King sunset to watch.

This is our living room. If you look at the chairs you can see lions on them.

And of course little Disney magic from the Mousekeepers (yummy cake balls)!

You're right, it's an awesome resort. My sons are your age and they love staying there.

Agreed...My daughter loves AKL, and we don’t even have to leave the resort to have a great time at DW. Love having a cup of coffee on the balcony early in the morning and watching the animals. 47 days!

I am thinking of AKL for a future stay. Thanks for sharing your pics. Gives me even more reason to consider AKL.

OMG! I can't believe I completely missed that during our stay ! Thank you so much for pointing that out....

The magic is in the "Disney Details!" so many times....

Thanks for the pics!! I can't wait to check into Kidani in 100 days!! It will be my first time there and we are staying in a two bedroom villa with a savanna view.

To all of you staying there, I hope you'll enjoy it and have as magical of a visit as we did.

TinkerbellinLouisian-Really!? That was one of my favorite things there!

Those yummy cake balls (not to be confused with Larryz's rice balls ) are Zebra Domes. One of the best desserts in all of WDW! I love that we are able to buy them at the Mara.

Glad that your stay at AKL was such a memorable one for you.

Thank you for letting me know that! I had no idea, so I just kept calling them cake balls, haha.
