PACK BINOCULARS!


If you are short on time while you are visiting a popular travel destination, ask the locals what they would do if they had only a few hours in their area. You might be surprised by what they come up with. During our last trip to Disney World, we found ourselves in such a situation. We asked a pizza delivery man and the front-desk clerk at our hotel for their ideas. They gave us the same suggestion that my son made, "lunch at Sanaa." (Thanks, James!) The Sanaa Restaurant is located at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. It does not require a ticket to Disney World, but reservations are highly recommended. Try to get a window table because the views are spectacular. Overlooking an African savannah-like setting, the wild animals roaming there often come up to the restaurant windows for a peek! During our lunch we saw zebras, giraffes, an ostrich, along with a variety of other exotic birds. Don't forget to bring your binoculars!
*Special note to vegetarians and vegans: Sanaa has separate menus for both. The food was excellent.
