Disney Vacation Club (DVC) members have exciting updates ahead as Walt Disney World has filed a permit for room refurbishments at the Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village. This article covers the key details of the planned refurbishments, let’s take a closer look!
Details of the Room Refurbishment
Earlier this month, a permit was filed indicating plans for significant updates to the rooms at Kidani Village. The refurbishment is expected to be a “hard goods” update, which typically involves thorough enhancements that usually include a comprehensive refresh.
Barton Malow has been named as the general contractor for the project. Work is expected to begin in 2025 and completion anticipated by the end of the same year, as the permits have an expiration date of December 31st, 2025.
Exterior Refurbishment Underway
In addition to the planned room updates, external refurbishments at Kidani Village are currently in progress. These updates have temporarily obstructed views of the Sunset Savanna from the Sanaa dining area. However, guests can still enjoy animal viewing from the Savanna Outlook during daytime hours, ensuring that the unique wildlife experience at the resort remains accessible.
Other Refurbishments Across Disney World
This refurbishment is part of a broader initiative to enhance various DVC properties across Disney World. The Bay Lake Tower is also undergoing refurbishments, and similar updates are planned for the Copper Creek Villas and Saratoga Springs Treehouse Villas in 2025. These improvements reflect Disney’s ongoing commitment to maintaining high-quality accommodations for its guests and members.
Conclusion
As Disney Vacation Club members look forward to these enhancements, the upcoming refurbishments at Kidani Village promise to elevate the guest experience at the Animal Kingdom Villas.
