I loved this resort. Quick walk to Epcot. We actually walked from Epcot after fireworks to dock at Beach Club and was able to get to HS with 15 mins and catch Fantasmic. 2 shows, 1 night, love it. Beds were awesome. I was able to look out my room and see the back of the ToT, my favorite ride in all of Disney. Friendly, clean just awesome. one more time the POOL!!!! Can not beat this place, hands down.
Pros:
Loved the POOL area. close to Epcot and HS.Cons:

WDW has hit a home run with Be Our Guest! This quick service restaurant felt like fine dining, yet it was quick service and budget friendly. We did have to wait in line but it was so worth it. Inside the castle you are transported to a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant is very large and spacious with three different rooms to choose from. We chose the Rose Gallery off the main dining room and it was quiet and relaxing. We alll ordered different items so we got to sample several things. My son had the Croque Monsier and it was delicious. I ordered the French Onion Soup and it was very good as well. I also had the Veg. Quiche and it was ok, not great. My husbanded had the turkey sandwich and it was so huge he had a hard time finishing it! For dessert we had the Triple Chocolate cupcake and the chocolate cream puff. Both were yummy! This was by far the best dining experience we had at WDW!
Pros:
food, atmosphere, quick and convienient yet luxuriousCons:

This is a great value if you are on the DDP. However, by the time we got to our table the food was barely warm.
DD and I had the chicken and rib combo. It was tasty.
Pros:
great value for DDPCons:

A great place to stop for an afternoon pick me up. We shared a cinnamon roll between three people. My son practically devoured the whole thing while we were doctoring up our coffee! Oh well, next time we will order two!
Pros:
cinnamon rolls!Cons:

We ordered the chicken tacos and they were tiny! They looked like mini tacos. They meat was ok but there were no toppings - just meat! The tortilla chips were stale. I thought it was expensive for the amount of food you got.
Pros:
outdoor seatingCons:

I've eaten here before and I didn't think it was as good as last time. My husband and I both had the SPICY cashew chicken and I emphasis SPICY! It gave me heartburn. I probably should have ordered something else. It was a small portion and the chicken was grisly and also dark meat. My son ordered the Caesar Salad and he liked it. The chicken looked really good but again it was a smalll portion. The atmosphere is also very noisy and crowded. We ate here because of Soarin'. There really aren't a lot of options in Future World.
Pros:
variety of choicesCons:

My family of four stayed for a total of five nights at Kidani Village. We checked in on December 26th, in a standard studio. When we arrived in the room, we tried to turn the TV on and found out the batteries were dead. I called the front desk and was told they would have a new remote delivered right away. 25 minutes later, I once again called the front desk and waited another half hour and then walked to the front desk to see why it was taking so long and finally did receive the remote about 2 hours later. We also reported twice that the toilet seat would not stay up, this was never taken care of before we checked out of that room.
The room itself was on the small side but, we thought very thoughtfully decorated. Our biggest complaint was the rooms were on the dark side. We also did not enjoy the beds, too high and soft. We checked into a studio savannah view on December 29th and out on the 31st. This room was very nice. It was a lot of fun watching the animals in the morning.
I must point out how helpful and nice the front desk was during our stay. Always very nice and polite. The biggest issue with Kidani Village and Animal Kingdom Lodge is that it seems to be far from most everything except Animal Kingdom. I am not sure we would stay here again. Although it is a wonderful resort, just not for us.
Pros:
Animals are very nice.Cons:

The food was very good. My son had the lobster roll, my husband had the fried fish and I had the fried shrimp. We dined with my brother and sister-in-law who are from New England and they liked it too.

nice sized portions, seafoodCons:

We started our stay at Kidani Village for 5 days and then transferred to Old Key West on December 31st with our great friends from Upstate New York. This was our 2nd stay at this resort and we just love everything about it. The rooms are huge, we stayed in a two bedroom villa and it was wonderful. All of our needs were met and check-in was a breeze. The pool is a very nice perk of this resort. The bedrooms were huge and the beds wonderful.
The only problem we had was I paid part of our room tab on a Disney gift card we purchased for food and other items we charged on our room. I went to the front desk and spoke with a guest service member. I explained to her what I wanted to do, several times. I told her several times I wanted the $500.00 gift card applied to my room charges and did not want my credit/debit card charged. This was 8am. About 8:30pm I was looking at my checking account on-line and noticed a $500.00 charge on my account I thought it was a hold and it was from Disney. I then walked back to the front desk and asked why there was a hold on my card. The person I spoke with was Jerry. Jerry said you paid $500.00 at 8am this morning. To make a long story short the person in the am never charged my gift card, Even though I saw her swipe the card,I had in the mean time thrown my Disney Card in the outside garbage. I went and sifted through the garbage and found the card and had everything redone. I then had the charges reversed on my card and applied the Disney gift card. The thing that angered me was I asked at least 3 times when I did the transaction to make sure she understood. On the bright side Jerry was wonderful and the manager on duty that evening was great.
Even though I had a bad experience with cards it all worked out and I learned to never throw my gift cards out. Overall wonderful vacation and we love Old Key West.

We made a last minute trip to Epcot and did not make ADR. We walked up and were delighted to find that there was only a 10min wait for lunch. This was a pleasant surprise since it was prime time for lunch. We were seated within the 10 min.From there it went downhill. I have an allergy and notified them at the desk. The chef came over before we had even looked at the menu. He said that he would be back or the server could run my choices by him. I never saw him again. I put my trust in the server to check for my allergy but was also ordered very safe. I had a individual pizza and my husband ordered a pasta dish. My husband's pasta came out and he had almost finished eating before my pizza came out. He then had to sit while I ate. Not much for sharing our meal. I will say the pizza was very good but not the right size for an individual - it easily could feed two. The server never came back for refills on our drinks or to see if we needed anything. The manager came by and asked how everything was and left before we could answer. The server came back and put the check on the table and never even asked if we wanted to order dessert. Overall a big disappointment but the food was good. Wish they had a take out window to order the pizza.
