Location and transport
Both buildings are in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area, close to Disney's Animal Kingdom. You can take the free bus to all the parks and to Disney Springs.
Rooms and suites
You can choose from Deluxe Studios (up to four people) and one-, two- or three-bedroom villas (up to twelve people), with a kitchen and African touches. Jambo House also has smaller Studios and villas with Club Level.
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.

Buy Lightning Lane earlier
