About Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village

Renting points here delivers one of the most extraordinary resort experiences on Earth — a safari view from your own villa — for far less than Disney's published rates.

Kidani's Deluxe Studios through three-bedroom Grand Villas are among the most generously sized in DVC, and many overlook the savanna. The resort is home to Sanaa, famous for its bread service and animal views from the dining room.
