In looking at the recent pics and video posted of Kidani , I noticed the menu by Maji, the pool bar. I tried to blow it up, but it's a bit blurry. Here are the food options I can make out :

It states "served in a Bento box":
Club sandwich on multigrain bread; Tandorri chicken; Tandorri Angus Chuck burger; Tandorri Sustainable fish; Dum Biryani ; Grilled Pork Chop; Slow roasted beef short ribs.

I think I see something about mango pudding too ? Can't be sure as it's kind of blurry when I magnify the size.

Does anyone know what the pool bar hours will be ?

I do feel better knowing there are other food options besides Sanaa at KV. BTW...I have ADR's at Sanaa on Friday May 8 if anyone is going to be there !

Wow, that's a much better selection than I anticipated!

The anticipation is killing me. I won't be there tomorrow for the opening, but I am super-excited for anyone who will. We will be at Kidani in exactly one month from today. Dinner first night is at Boma - mmmm zebra domes. Dinner second night is Sanaa - I am thinking the Tandoori chicken will be my choice.

I haven't decided what I'll order at Sanaa yet (6/28), but my daughter was laughing at me because I've pretty much already decided for most of my other ADRs.

I'm so excited! It's opening day!

I have seen on 1 post so far from someone at Kidani. That post was on the Kidani questions thread. Once, I have finished catching up on my active threads, then I will go look for some new threads on Kidani.

I've got to be honest, if I were there today I'm not so sure I'd be spending any time on my computer!!

That being said I'm anxiously awaiting any and all news from "home".

Me too Braveteacher. I'll be at Sanaa on May 8.

Happy Opening Day to Kidani ! Must be fun to be there today...

LOVE the avatar, Agent P! Welcome Home. As a relatively new member myself, I can say your first DVC trip will be incredible! But warning-- one trip and you will come down with the dreaded "addonitis"!

My opinions of Kidani. No, I haven't stayed there yet, but we did visit twice last week. Once just for our own edification on our way to a Jiko reservation, and once for the DIS meet we had in the Kidani library on Monday.

First of all, I really like the decor of the lobby, library, Sanaa, and especially the restrooms near Sanaa! The fire pit area is nice, as is the landscaping. Of course, the landscaping needs to grow up a bit, but give it a few months and it will be beautiful. I really disliked the look as you drive in though. It looks like a glorified Holiday Inn from that side of the resort. Once you get down to where the rooms start, it improves, but that first impression driving up is not a "wow".

I loved the indoor thatch in the lobby, but I thought the lobby was small for the size of the resort. It's pretty intimate. That's especailly true when you compare it to the welcome area at VWL where there are far fewer villas and no check in area.

The walk in the halls is going to be brutal just like it is at Jambo, but the "long walk between lobbys" is nothing. Out one door and into the other didn't take us more than 5 minutes, and at Disney, that's nothing.

Thanks for sharing. I was thinking the exact same kind of thing just from the photos we've seen. I can't wait to see it for myself in a couple of weeks, but we won't be staying there til January. I'm sure the landscaping will have grown in more by then, and looking fuller and better. I sure hope the approach looks better by then than what you just experienced.

Thanks!

I think am already coming down with Addonitis, it will complement my Nikon Acquisition Syndrome well. (I'll just tell my wife that the additional lenses/cameras are to get better pictures of the kids in Disney- nice daydream at least)
