    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating: Disney Deluxe Resort
    • Free Wi-Fi

    Thanks to some very special residents, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge will have you wondering whether you’re in Florida or Kenya.

    You can wake up to a scene straight out of The Lion King when you stay here. The hotel's built around a 43-acre savannah, so you can sit on your balcony and watch gazelles, giraffes, and zebras grazing, safari-style.

    The African theme doesn’t stop with the animals. Walk into the three-storey lobby and you’re met with dark-wood floors, carved furniture and tribal art. It’s more of the same in the bedrooms, too.

    Lovely spot, friendly staff, convenient to all the kingdoms. Boat or bus transportation is available. Buy a food plan. Animal Kingdom is our favorite. Fabulous meal at Tiffins restaurant. Make reservations for dinner.
    We loved Animal Kingdom Lodge

    Our room was big and spacious, The mattresses were very comfortable, the restaurants were convenient. The food was excellent. The best thing we liked was our balcony porch where we could view live African animals and identify them using a chart provided in our room.

    We chose the concierge level, if if it works w/ your budget I'd definitley go for it. We had the luxury of meeting up for breakfast in the morning @ our own pace, picking & choosing from the breakfast buffet, this also allowed us to hit the ground running in the parks. We chose a suite to acomadate our family, it's nice to have 2 full bathrooms & a powder room w/ four adults. We loved our beautiful room & Savannah view. Sorry about the spelling)

    Stayed at the Kidani Village part of Animal Kingdom Lodge. We had a small studio room. The view from the balcony was great. The room was very nice. The down side is the accommodation was so far from the other Disney venues. The staff was very helpful. It was about a 10 minute walk from room to lobby, also. The food service at both Kadani Village and Jambo House where wonderful. We had a great time. Would have been great with the grandchildren.
    Nice place to stay--once

    In my opinion, the Animal Kingdom Lodge is a nice place to stay, but only one time. It has a genuine African feel, nice restaurants, and the rooms are very nice. The hotel itself is also a good value for the rates. So, what's the problem? The hotel is so spread out, its a long walk to get anywhere. Its also a long way from the hotel to anywhere else at Disney. Each of the other similarly-priced Disney hotels have much better access to at least some Disney attractions by walking, by boat, or by monorail. The Animal Kingdom park is a relatively short bus ride, but still a bus ride. Getting anywhere else wastes a lot of time, at least in my opinion (and I've been to Disney over 50 times).
