Inside, signage also points guests to take an alternate route to get to rooms 2451-2596. Construction work and renovation work has created the need to divert food traffic in some places around the resort.

At ground level, windows from the Sanaa waiting area reveal the extent of the scaffolding outside. Guests walking out to the animal viewing area can still see various equipment and pieces on the sides behind green construction fences.

  1. We will be at Disney the first week of January, 2020, any guess about the view from Sanaa at that time? Thank you for these updates
