Sanaa Kuamsha Breakfast Now Available at Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge


Right, but are they still offering that? I heard it ended after a test.

Does anyone know of a list posted of snacks available at The Mara? Specifically I'm curious about which ones are snack credits on the DDP. TIA!

I am trying to decide on lower or upper floor for my room request. Can anyone tell me if there are stairs that lead up or down from the lobby, or do you have to take the elevator to get to those floors?

It's possible to access all floors via stairs - some are just easier to find than others!

I pulled the trigger today. My wife and I rented DVC points and booked Jan 17-27 in a studio at Kidani Villiage. I am beyond excited for this trip. I have stayed in values mostly but have stayed in Moderate (POR) as well. This is my first venture into the deluxe world and we are using this as a trial run for buying a DVC resale in the coming years.

Hi! Can anyone please tell me where I could find a photo of the current (April 2017) activities guide? The one that shows the outdoor movie schedule, pool games, etc.? Thanks

I checked into AKL yesterday and this trip was booked about 3 weeks ago and had only standard view room available under AP discounts. My request was close to lobby and higher floor. I got to AKL 7am and they actually had my room ready when I checked-in to drop my luggage off before we head to a park. I got exactly what I asked for... 4th floor near lobby in Ostrich trail. It was few steps in from the lobby facing the handicap parking lot. It was very quiet although I could see all the lobby activities. However, at night was a different story. Every 30~40 minutes, I heard big cart rolling sound outside. I could not sleep. I finally gave up sleeping after 5am, went down to the lobby to see if they could move us to different room. I knew that the chances were really slim since it is peak of spring break (week leading to Easter). CM immediately checked her system to see what she could find and she said that there's is a room available but it's further down from the lobby but I should have a view of Savanna and therefore, quiet at night. She said that they cannot reveal the room number until I am ready to move (everything out of the previous room). I took on the offer thinking that I desperately need sleep than convenience of being close to the lobby. I am in a new room right now and perfect view of Uzima Savanna. It's further down from the lobby than previous room but Mara and Pool is just down the elevator. I think it's a standard view b/c there's animal shelter built right below of the window but we could perfectly view the savanna. We are in a room close to Simba's clubhouse (which is in 1st floor) and we are on 3rd floor.

I hope this helps some people who are planning for their stay at AKL.

I'm so excited for you! AKL is my favorite resort on property, can't wait for you to experience it

Hi! We're staying 8/22 - 24, (split stay Yacht - AKL - Contemporary) in a One Bedroom Villa Standard View. Can someone direct me to where I would find pictures of this, and what section of AKL it would be in?

We're so excited! We've eaten at Boma twice and enjoyed walking around outside afterwards and can't believe we'll actually be staying for a bit!

Thanks!
