Sense of Africa Tour

The Sense of Africa Tour is a newer offering at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge that allows guests an up close and personal experience with the animals. Here's the description from the media in the room. The tour doesn't have a large capacity, so I'd recommend booking in advance  if it's something that's important to you.  It leaves at 7:00 in the morning on select days from the lobby of Animal Kingdom Lodge - Jambo House. We had a quick intro in the little lobby nook before making our way down to Boma where the tour really began. It was just about a full tour group and we had a variety of guests from families to couples and solo travelers. A lot of us were DVC owners! The table was already set with coffee, donuts and scones and we were quickly brought out a special sausage dish and butternut squash pap. We got a little introduction to the selections and the buffet and how this related to our sense of taste and smell etc. Not overly memora

Review: Lunch at Sanaa!

Hey there Disney Pals and Gals!       I hope you're all having an awesome 2017 so far! My fam and I are down here in Orlando, thanking our lucky stars that we aren't having to cope with the temperatures of the north. I'll tell ya, just a couple of years out of the cold thins out your blood right quick! (Too bad it doesn't thin our the rest of me.)  Jambo!      Anyway, today I wanted to share with you a restaurant review of one of my favs, Sanaa , at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge's Kidani Village. It may be a little off the beaten path, but this is one place totally worth taking the time to check out, especially if you're a more adventurous eater, or you enjoy some serious flavor. The Hubs, myself, our 8 year old daughter, D, and our 4 year old son, K, along with our friend and very own Divine Ms. M, got to enjoy lunch at Sanaa this past Saturday. It was the day the Disney's Half Marathon was supposed to take place, but it had to be cancelled due

Step Into the Heart of Africa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is without a doubt one of the most uniquely themed resorts on Disney property.  Upon arrival at the resort, you are immediately transported to the heart of Africa.  If I hadn’t flown to Orlando International Airport, I may have actually thought I had landed in Africa!  Animal Kingdom Lodge Lobby The lobby has the similar awe-inspiring effect of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.  With thatched ceilings, large wood beams and real African artifacts, you again have to remind yourself that you are not really in Africa but at Walt Disney World.  The lobby boasts a floor to ceiling window that overlooks one of the three savannas.  Just like Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park, the Animal Kingdom Lodge is all about conservation and is dedicated to the care of animals. View from a Arusha View Room The Animal Kingdom Lodge has three separate savannas; Sunset, Arusha and Uzima.  The savannas are home to over 30 species of African wildlife including zebras, giraff
