Searching for Hidden Mickeys at Animal Kingdom Lodge

Posted on by Steve Barrett
One recent evening, Vickie and I drove to Walt Disney World for a dinner reservation at Jiko Restaurant. The Animal Kingdom Lodge abounds with Hidden Mickeys, so I took the opportunity to do some exploring before dinner. First, we strolled around Kidani Village. There is one appealing characteristic to me about the Animal Kingdom Lodge Hidden Mickeys: many are etched in rock or embedded in cement and are likely to last a long while!

Dining at Sanaa

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Laura Gilbreath reviews Sanaa, a favorite restaurant at Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom Lodge. For those not familiar with it, Sanaa offers more of an Indian-style cuisine along with some African-inspired dishes, including a variety of Tandoor oven dishes and curries.
