Sanaa Lunch and Dinner Review


Spoiler Alert! Sanaa is one of my favorite hidden gem Walt Disney World dining options. Located in Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Village, it's a table service restaurant with an a la carte menu and a view of roaming animals through the windows. The cuisine is East Africa inspired and the environment is made to feel like diners are sitting under acacia trees.

I've dined at Sanaa many times throughout the years and think it's perfect for a mid day meal to escape the heat, or a late night date, if you don't mind missing the animals. There is one can't miss item on the menu that draws diners just as much as the views, and it's the bread service. Served as an appetizer, this options comes with 5 types of naan and and 9 dips.

It either comes on one large or two smaller wooden boards. The dipping sauces offer a wide range of things to try and the portion is surprisingly large. That being said, I often like to order the seasonal soup because one just can't have enough dipping options. I've enjoyed many other entrees throughout the years and never regretted ordering any of them.

 The Potjie Inspired offers a way to try two different seasoned dishes, and while the sizing was filling for me, it was a bit small for my husband without the bread. 

The Sanaa Burger is also a delicious option that was substantial enough to fill someone who prefers large portions.

On my most recent visit, I tried the Salad Sampler which was memorable and fun to eat. Everything was tasty, and if I wanted extra sides, I would order this again.

 for everyone. If you are doing a resort day, or are staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, it is a great option that you won't regret, just make sure to get the bread!

The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian: Studios of Big Pine Key

I didn't think Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa could get any grander, but then I stayed in one of their Resort Studio rooms. These are the newest rooms at The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The Resort Studio rooms are located in the Big Pine Key building which is very close to the main building. The location makes it very convenient to get to the dining options and transportation. Not only is the building close to the main building but it's also across from the Courtyard Pool and Courtyard Pool Bar. Resort Studio rooms are located in the Big Pine Key building When you enter Big Pine Key, you're greeted with a simply lovely lobby. The furniture is super cute and gives off a very cozy, chic vibe. There's lots of pastel colors with floral prints and touches of nature. Lobby seating area in the Big Pine Key building The chic, nature inspired vibe continues down the hallways and into the Resort Studio rooms. I couldn't love these r...

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, the agents rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. We received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view! We arrived to a welcome basket of various fr...

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
