"Another wonderful stay at an amazing resort"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed January 16, 2020 NEW
This was my 5th stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I stayed in September 2019, in a Deluxe studio, savanna view. Is 5 times too many to stay at AKL? No! It’s too few. It is an incredible resort. Where else in North America can you sit on your balcony and watch zebras, giraffes, Ankoli cattle, and on and on? But Disney did not leave it at that. When you walk into the resort—no, even when you approach the resort—you are transported to Africa. But Disney did not leave it at that. There are Cultural Ambassadors to tell you about their homeland. There are loads of activities for children, both fun and educational. There are activities for adults. In fact, you could spend a week there without ever leaving for a park. The pool at Jambo is large and beautiful, with a small but fun water slide. There is a splash area for the kids. There are also 2 hot tubs. The pool at Kidani is smaller, but with a better water slide. And the kids’ splash area at Kidani is one of the best at any Disney resort. My room was nice, and clean. The TV was a big one, with plenty of channels. WiFi worked fine. The bed was very comfortable, pillows a little less so. The staff is, of course, superb: helpful, dedicated, and friendly. As I wrote, I’ve been there 5 times, and I can’t wait for the 6th.

"Loved this place!"

Loved this hotel.... amazing ambiance! Loved the grand Reception and it’s African Theme! Wasn’t so thrilled with the buffet restaurant .... overpriced for what was on offer but then all the Disney restaurants are the same . We had a savannah view room .... little shabby and outdated... needs a revamp! But watching the wildlife especially the Giraffes up so close more than made up for it!

Absolutely amazing and magical, was so Christmassy and warm feeling. We had a savannah room and it was amazing to sit on the balcony watching the sunrise and seeing the giraffes, zebras and all the other animals. The room was one of their new ones, beds were so comfortable. We are definitely staying here again and would recommend it to anyone considering it

Our first trip to Disney and so picked the right hotel. Could not have been more helpful despite being so busy. Takes a while to work out Disney first time like us but the reception team were superb. Easy to shuttle between hotels and parks, food was great and Roo was superb. Watching live animals patrol the savannah, off our balcony, amazing. Stay in Disney for Disney, best advice!! ❤️

"overpriced for what you get..."
TripAdvisor user rating 3 out of 5
Reviewed January 09, 2020 NEW
Granted this is Disney and we were there doing the holiday period when the prices go up....but for what we paid for a Savannah view room we did expect a bit more....We were there for several days and thou the room description said microwave in room we had to ask for one to be brought to the room. Room just average, we did have a balcony and were able to watch animals while enjoying a morning coffee which was a treat but we saw all the animals when we took the Safari ride with is really great.The lobby was quite nice with a beautiful Christmas tree in the center. We have been to Disney numerous times and this is the first time we were disappointed in one of their resorts.
