Animal Kingdom Lodge

I personally have never stayed or even visited this resort. However, that does not stop me from enjoying and dreaming by looking at pictures on line. I think this is a must do for our family in the future. My children love animals and the themeing for the resort seems so "safari" and I have always dreamed of doing that as well. This is a deluxe resort but is on the lower end of the deluxe scale meaning quite a bit more affordable than the monorail resorts. The prices for a studio lists for $240 during value and go up to $405 during holiday season. This actually seems like a relative bargain when you consider what all this resort has to offer. Disney family vacation tips recommends to do this at some point in your Disney career because it just flat out looks cool!

Since I have no first hand experience from this resort I have done some research and narrowed down a few reasons to choose this resort for a future stay at the world. Here are the Disney family vacation tips:

1. There are three savannas at the resort to offer many chances to see animals in a habitat similar to their own. Each of the three boast different animals and a completely different look. The savannas are lit a night to mimic a full moon every evening which is super cool.

2. There are 724 savannas view rooms available so you can watch the animals out your window.

3. Two excellent dining options in Jiko and Boma's representing a traditional African buffet and a lighter side option at Jiko's.

4. Zawadi Marketplace is the retail shop celebrating the romantic and adventuresome spirit of Africa through the stories and cultures represented in its merchandise. It is nearly 6,000 square feet and is one of the largest shops on property.

5. The Uzima Springs pool is the largest on Disney property, over 11,000 square feet. It has a zero-entry pool, waterslide, kiddy wade pool, and most importantly is open 24 hours a day.

6. Full spa and fitness center for your relaxation or need to burn off the extra calories from eating to much Boma's.

7. There is also a kids playground for the little ones when they need to extinguish some extra energy.

8. There are many different programs offered and range from cookie decorating, African games and crafts, night vision viewing at the savannas, and adventure camp for the kids just to name a few.

These are the few things that stood out to me about the Animal Kingdom Lodge. It looks incredible and is definitely on my to do list for the future. If I do it must be a savanna room on at least the 3rd floor or higher for the view.
