New Savannah-Themed Desserts are Now Available at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Restaurant. We could probably write a few thousand words on the bread service alone at Disney’s Sanaa restaurant, located in the Kidani Village section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. So when Sanaa updates its menu in any way, it gives us a chance to go back and enjoy one of our favorite meals on the property.
The new dessert menu features representations of animals you can go right out the doors of Sanaa and see on the Savannah.
You’re about to go wild for these new desserts inspired by some of the animals on the Savannah launching today at Sanaa!
