With all the wonderful kid-friendly dining options at Disney World, why should your family choose to eat at Sanaa at Animal Kingdom Resort? The answer is, for the unique cultural dining experience, of course. You won’t find Disney character dining here, but you will have a dining experience with “character.” From the moment you arrive at the Kidani Village lobby at Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort, you will understand what I mean. As you enter, take a moment to take in all Animal Kingdom Lodge has to offer, you will be in awe of the grand lobby with an African safari-theme. It has an inviting, comfortable, casual, warm, and cozy feel the moment you enter. It tends to be a little quieter than some of the resorts and is the perfect place to unwind.
