Sanaa - Dinner

Sanaa - Dinner

If you are getting to Sanaa from the elevator side (as opposed to the "lobby" side), you will probably get to see this great restaurant logo. Oddly, it's still a good 300 yards away from this sign, to the check-in desk.

Jiko - The Cooking Place

The "Most Difficult Resort Restaurant Sign to Take a Picture Of at Disney" award goes to... Jiko - The Cooking Place. Seriously, take a picture of the "Jiko" that's stitched into the napkin and call it a day.

Roar!!! Unfortunately, this is about as close as you'll get to seeing a wild animal at Sanaa's Breakfast period. In the morning, the savana outside the windows is mostly populated with birds.

The main dining area at Pepper Market features high ceilings and brightly colored tables and chairs. While the entire dining area is indoors, it gives you the sense of sitting outside, on a perfectly air-conditioned day!

Some of the items on Sanaa's Breakfast grab-and-go menu are kept warm on these glossy looking keep-warm trays. I think what we're seeing here is a trio of danishes.

Once you order and pay for your "counter service" food at the register, you're given a wild animal with a table number, and are free to sit in the dining area. When your food is ready, waitstaff will bring out your order by searching for the matching table number.

The main Sanaa dining room takes on a different look for breakfast. While the lights do stay on in the back of the room, there's a ton of morning light pouring in from the large windows.

For anyone that's been to Sanaa, this is a photo of the "are you sure we're going the right way" corridor that leads to the restaurant. For those of you that haven't been yet, there's a pretty good chance that you will get to see this hallway!

Look at those gorgeous flaky layers on the Croissant from Sanaa's breakfast menu!

Several Oaxacan wood carvings are in a great looking wall display case at Pepper Market.

Sanaa Lounge

Sanaa Lounge

The Sanaa Lounge is not all that large. The long communal table in the center of this photos is a unique feature that you won't find at many of the Disney resort lounges.

Café Rix

Café Rix

There are two signs that mark the entrance to Cafè Rix at Coronado Springs. One is round and directly over the doorway into the grab-and-go location, and the other is square, and more easily seen from down the northern hallway.

One of the grab-and-go counters at Sanaa's Breakfast period. Only a few items are put out at a time and all are in little plastic containers of one type or another.

There is a side dish of maple syrup that is delivered with the Safari Waffle, how much of it you'll need though... is a matter of taste. We really enjoyed how light the Belgium style waffle was on it's own, together with the unique chai cream.

The "one-side" window design seems to work better in late afternoon and evening, than it does in the morning. The low-canopy, cave-like effect is sort of lost when you can see everything.

Several Oaxacan wood carvings have been placed on squares in a giant display case. No two of the hand painted figures are the same!

The dining area at Pepper Market has very high ceilings and brightly colored chairs and tables giving the area a "courtyard" feel, while being completely indoors.

There are colorful displays of modern Mayan art with Tequila bottles throughout the restaurant. Here, a blue Milagro Silver bottle is paired with some orange pottery.

Pictured here, a bottle of 1921 Casa Tequila Cream is placed in a basket (although, from a flavor standpoint, I'm not sure I would pair this one with lemons and limes).

The "Sunrise Sandwich" from Sanaa's Breakfast menu is made with one farm-fresh egg, ham, cheddar cheese, and is served on a croissant.
