Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
At Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, you step into the heart of Africa. The hotel has the horseshoe shape of a traditional African kraal. From many rooms you look out over four savannas with more than 200 animals, such as giraffes, zebras and flamingos.
Location and transport
The hotel is in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area, close to Disney's Animal Kingdom. You travel to all the parks and to Disney Springs on the free bus.
Rooms and suites
You can choose from rooms with resort, pool or savanna views, with two queen-size beds or one king-size bed. Club Level rooms and suites give you access to the Kilimanjaro Club. The building also houses the villas of Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House.
Early Theme Park Entry
Get into all four theme parks half an hour early on every day of your stay, including your arrival and departure days.
Extended Evening Hours
On selected evenings, one theme park stays open later for guests of the Deluxe hotels and Deluxe Villas.
Buy Lightning Lane earlier
Hotel guests can buy Lightning Lane passes 7 days before their stay, for their entire stay. Everyone else can only do so 3 days in advance.
Food and drink
Jiko – The Cooking Place serves African dishes in the evening. Boma – Flavors of Africa is a breakfast and dinner buffet with a marketplace feel. For a quick bite, head to The Mara. In Kidani Village, a little further on, you'll find Sanaa, overlooking the savanna.
Pools and practical information
The pool (over 1,000 m²) has a water slide and a gentle zero-depth entry, like a watering hole on the savanna. There are animal programmes, campfire activities, Movies Under the Stars, the Hakuna Matata playground and a fitness centre.
Address: 2901 Osceola Parkway, Lake Buena Vista. According to Disney, construction or renovation work is currently taking place at the hotel. Bear in mind there may be works going on.
