Not here!

KTR52 on Jan 14, 2025

Do not choose this “deluxe resort”! It ain’t!! Rooms are very very small—cannot comfortably accommodate 4 people. Closet is about 12”—for 4 people! Really? Sheesh ?? VERY disappointed ?? The carpets down... the hallway are fraying! This is a 3 star hotel at best. Staff is very kind—that was a plus!

Generally amazing!

Chris G on Jan 11, 2025

5/5 - absolutely love it here. Cast Members are amazing, great covered parking, amazing food and views! Watching the animals at night is insane. You can view them without nightlenses with your cell cameras... and it is just intoxicating. Must try the butter chicken and bread service!

Terrible experience not worth the money

S4594RPnicolew on Dec 17, 2024

Terrible experience at this resort and the cast members were not helpful at all. We’ve been to several Disney resorts and this was the worse experience. We were told false information about the room accomm...odations and when we arrived, they refused to rectify the situation. Instead they pointed the finger to everyone else. We called and sent several emails. The first response also included false information and then we didn’t hear anything back for over a week after we checked out which included additional false information. The room was not what we wanted and the experience was terrible. And other than a few birds and deer, we didn’t even see any animals even though we were told we had the best view—-another lie. I don’t recommend this resort.

Don’t buy into the hype that it’s too far away

KendraKelly (Orangeville, Canada) on Dec 13, 2024

Honestly, this hotel is the most escapist one we’ve stayed at on Disney property. After a split stay at four different DVC properties we finished our vacation with Kidani and it was the hotel where all our... Disney “tactical military mission” stressors evaporated. The pool is so exotic feeling (and in our opinion beats the one over at Jambo) and the music, smells and decor completely transport you to an African lodge. The only reason we give it four stars has nothing to do with the transportation (which really isn’t challenging at all unless you’re someone who loves to rope drop), but because the rooms are showing need for refurbishment (which is scheduled to happen soon) . Once that happens this hotel will be back in our top 2.

7-nights with family at Kidani 2-bedroom villa

Chseman on Oct 20, 2024

Just returned from a 7-night trip in a 2-bedroom villa in Kidani Village. Pros: - beautiful lobby and grounds very well maintained - best food at WDW - we are at BOMA several times as well as QS for br...eakfast at Mara - beds are very comfortable - buses were consistent and we never waited more than 7 minutes Kidani pool was awesome. Kids loved it! - 2-bedroom villa layout was great for our family of 6 Cons: - the room was EXTREMELY outdated and in need of desperate refurbishment. If this were a Marriott, I’d be disappointed. When paying $10,000+ for a week, Disney needs to be better - this property is very far from anything Overall, great trip but we will be staying elsewhere next time (Boardwalk or Bay Lake)
