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

We are DVC members and stayed in a 1 bedroom savanah view villa. It was great to walk out on the balcony and see zebra, wildebeest, ostrich and giraffe. The room is spacious, the bathroom is enormous and it was great having a full kitchen (although a bit small) and a washer/dryer in the unit. The other great thing is... More

We stayed here in July 2012 with two kids 5 and 6 on arrival we were upgraded to a savannah view room as it was our 1st visit. The staff were so warm and welcoming, each time we returned at least 2 staff members approached us and entered into on versatile with the children. Nothing was too much trouble, the... More
