Discover the Wild Side of Sweetness: New Desserts at Sanaa

Hey there, Disney foodies Are you ready to embark on a culinary safari that promises to tantalize your taste buds like never before? Well, buckle up because, the culinary team Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani VIllage, has just unveiled a lineup of new desserts at Sanaa that are as wild and wonderful as the savannah itself. Launching on March 6, 2024, these treats are not just desserts; they’re a journey to the heart of Africa, inspired by the majestic animals of the savannah.

Family-Friendly Feast with a Sweet Twist

Sanaa has always been the go-to spot for families looking to savor the rich tapestry of African cooking with a delightful Indian twist. Imagine sitting under the graceful branches of an acacia tree, surrounded by the vibrant atmosphere of an East African spice market, decorated with handcrafted wares. The experience at Sanaa is nothing short of magical, offering a feast for the senses even before the main course arrives.

Start your culinary adventure with the famous Indian-style bread service, featuring nine exotic accompaniments ranging from sweet mango chutney to fiery red chile sambal. As you move on to the entrées, you’re greeted with an array of choices from tender meats and seafood slow-cooked in gravy, like the mouthwatering butter chicken, to a variety of vegetarian delights. And let’s not forget the kiddos! With options like fish, beef burgers, and pizza, even the pickiest of eaters will leave with happy tummies.

A Sip of the Wild

Pair your meal with a selection of wines from South Africa, beers from Kenya, or specialty cocktails like the Malawi Mango Margarita. For those preferring a non-alcoholic treat, the tropical juice and berry smoothies are as refreshing as a breeze on the savannah.

Dining with a View

What sets Sanaa apart is not just its food but the breathtaking views of African wildlife right outside your window. Dine alongside gazelles, zebras, giraffes, and more, as over 200 birds and hoofed animals from over 30 species roam the lush Sunset Savanna. The interior, adorned with traditional artisan and market goods, further immerses you in the spirit of Africa.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
