Filed in: Walt Disney World Resort Hotels

Kidani Village, a Disney Vacation Club property at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge features thatched roofs and a hewn timber design. Kidani means “necklace” in Swahili and the new building is shaped like a piece of native African jewelry with vacation villas forming the beads, walkways creating the knots in between and the lobby representing the ornament or jewel at its center. The new resort also includes Sanaa, a new family dining location, featuring savanna views at select tables and serving familiar foods from tandoor ovens in addition to slow-cooked specialties with the flavorful spices of Africa and India. Walt Disney World Resort is in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
