Re: We love Kidani!

At Kidani you will need your room key to go to the pool.

Re: We love Kidani!

Great photos!!! Do you have more???? My boss will be going there in 2 weeks in a 2 bedroom for one night before their cruise!

Do you know if they have night vision googles/viewing there at night?

Re: We love Kidani!

YAY!! Kidani Village!!! I can't wait to hear more about your trip, staying at Kidani, etc. Cool pictures so far!

Question... can regular AKL people use Kidani Village pool? OR, do you have to have a Kidani room key only to enter?

I am so excited to stay there.

Shanell, how is the Kidani store/boutique compared to other DVC locations? Do you eat anywhere in Kidani? Was it easy to walk from Kidani to Jambo House?

Re: We love Kidani!

Do you need your room key for a gate or something at the pool or just to show someone at the pool area?




Duh, just looked at the pictures again,.....yes, a card is used to open the gate.....

I think only Kidani guest can use the pool.
The store is smaller then others. It has a refill station,some DVC/resort merch and snacks. No, we didn't eat there. We didn't do the work.
