Staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge was a unique experience, especially for the amazing savanna views and the fantastic pool at Kidani Village. However, the distance from the rooms to the transportation was quite challenging, particularly after a long day at the parks. While the dining experience was generally good, the overall service and room issues left much to be desired, making it hard to fully enjoy the stay.

Our stay at Kidani Village was a mix of great experiences and some disappointing moments. The savanna views were absolutely breathtaking, and the pool area offered our kids plenty of fun. However, we encountered some issues with room comfort and food options, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable visit. Overall, it's a unique resort, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

Overall, my stay at Kidani Village had its ups and downs. The savanna views from the room were breathtaking and definitely the highlight of our trip. However, the service left much to be desired, especially with unexpected room changes and slow room service. I appreciated the spacious accommodations for our family, but the issues with cleanliness and maintenance detracted from the experience. Dining options were also limited, especially for kids. While the location was convenient for Animal Kingdom, I probably wouldn't opt for this resort again.

We had an amazing time at Kidani Village, especially enjoying the savanna views and the pool area. The room was spacious and well-appointed, but the customer service left a lot to be desired, particularly during our check-in experience and when trying to get an extra blanket.

Our stay at Kidani Village was memorable, especially with the unique experience of watching animals right outside our balcony. The spacious two-bedroom unit was perfect for our family, but we found some areas needing improvement, like the dated room decor and limited dining options. Overall, it's a great place for kids, but the dining experience could use a bit more variety.
