I can't say enough about how much I was surprised at my recent stay at the Animal Kingdown Lodge. We stayed in a 1BR at Kidani Village. It was absolutely awesome. Very spacious place and clean! The 1BR had two bathrooms? That was neat with having 3 children (2 showers was a great thing to have). I don't think the... More

This is, by no means, a bad place to stay. However, we were routinely disappointed during our 3-day stay. The resort is divided into two adjacent properties. The distance between the two is a reasonable walk for two adults, but not for children. We were traveling with another couple and we found ourselves in different buildings. The shuttle between the...

A bit of background first. The lodge is split into two sections, Jambo House, and Kidani Village, with the latter being built for the Disney Vacation Club timeshare and the former being the normal 'hotel'. You can access the amenities in either section, but the Kidani lobby is more modest and it has less restaurants. It's about a 10 minute... More

Just got back from a stay at this breathtaking and beautifully themed resort. Stayed on the fifth floor in a dvc room on the Arusha savannah, zebra trail. Every detail of the resort makes you feel as though you are transported to another country. Lots of animals out on the savannah...nothing quite like waking up to a giraffe standing a... More

First off I'd like to say this is my first review ever of a hotel. As our family's third trip to Disney, we were wanting to "up the ante" by going deluxe. I read that the service was impressive, rooms were more spacious and overall more "Disney magic." Previously we had stayed at Coronado Springs and Port Orleans-Riverside. Both were... More

We decided to stay here this year on our Disney trip and it was a real disappointment. First off there is 2 different savannahs. One has giraffes and zebra in it and the other has cattle and antelope. Out our window was the cattle and antelope, which was not what we thought we were going to have. The rooms are... More

We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge in mid April. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The service is impeccable - always friendly and accessible. The ambience and surrounding grounds are African-themed and truly lovely. Upon check-in, we asked if we could upgrade to a Concierge room but they didn't have any availability. But we were pleased to find that they... More

At the outset, let me say that this review is specifically not for two large Disney groups of people... 1. Those who started coming to Disney World as small kids who are now looking to bring their three year old and 16 month old for a week of crying, leaky pool diapers, and aggressive stroller pushing as a way to...

Even if you don't stay here it is worth the trip just to see the resort, eat in Boma's, and gp through the lobby to the rear and outside to view some of the animals. We were on the 5th floor of Jambo house in a Disney Vacation Club 2 bedroom lock off with a Savannah view that included a... More
