Amazing decor. Instantly felt that welcome to disney feeling and the front desk staff during check in was amazing. We got there really late and didn't get to enjoy much that night because of airline issues, however upon checking out our room- there was white antelope grazing outside our balcony. It was so neat we didn't care about the late night. The next morning we slept in until 9 because we were exhausted, but as soon as my daughter awoke and said there was giraffe outside we were all up and on the balcony. It was one of the neatest places we have stayed- all throught the USA.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning view of the lodge’s beautiful architecture, inspired by African culture. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and offered breathtaking views of the savanna. Waking up to see giraffes, zebras, and other exotic animals right outside our balcony was truly magical. The lodge's attention to detail in decor and design made us feel like we were on a grand safari adventure. The dining options were exceptional, with a variety of restaurants offering delicious cuisine. Boma and Jiko stood out with their diverse and flavorful menus, catering to all tastes and dietary needs. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, providing excellent service and valuable information about the lodge and surrounding areas. The amenities were top-notch, from the refreshing pools and well-equipped fitness center to the fun and educational activities for kids and adults alike. We particularly enjoyed the cultural storytelling sessions and the guided tours around the property. Overall, Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way. It’s a unique and unforgettable destination that combines luxury, adventure.

Beautiful resort with premium beds and bedding and friendly staff. Great pool area and convenient shuttle to the WDW parks. Our room overlooked the Savannah and the zebras were so close we could here them ripping grass when they were grazing.
