“Great for kids”

While our king-sized bed took up much of the small room, the hotel had an abundance of great activities for the kids. Who goes to Disney to sit in a room anyway?

“One outstanding hotel”

This was my second visit to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. I adore this hotel. The staff is very efficient. The hotel is immaculate. The fitness center has state of the art equipment and you can eat off the locker room floor. It has so many activities for children. There are many fabulous hotels to stay at in Orlando. However, I feel that the Animal Kingdom Lodge is unique and has everything I could ask for in a hotel.

Area recommendations

I would highly recommend eating at the restaurant Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The buffet was outstanding. It was alittle costly but definitely worth it. The food had a flair and was very healthy.

“What you'd expect from Disney”

Hotel is well, kept, clean and staff are very helpful. My 7 year old said, "It's not every day you look out your bedroom window and see 4 giraffes". Very happy with hotel stay. The following are areas of improvement for Disney as a whole, not this particular hotel, but they do affect you if you're going to vacation here: They need a better selection of food, especially for kids. There's only so many burgers and chicken nuggets a kid can eat. Bus intervals seem to have gotten very irregular. Anywhere between 5 and 40 minutes depending on the park and time of day. It's not every 20 minutes as stated. On a couple of occasions for a 5 night stay it was closer to 30-40 minutes.

What to pack

Pack plenty of snacks that your kids will enjoy in the park. The selection is not great unless you want to be eating ice cream all the time, or you're lucky enough to have kids that enjoy raw vegetables.

“Great Vacation”

Always stayed at All Star Resorts, wanted something different for the kids. Upgrade to the Savannah view, it is worth it. Was there for Christmas decorations, the lobby looked great.

“Amazing hotel!”

We got just a standard view and still had wonderful views!!! Really nice rooms. We had double sinks and large space in our room. Our kids are 3 and 6 and they really loved it. We stayed at the Disney All Star music the first night and while the pool area and grounds are nice we found the rooms at This hotel to be much nicer. The only downside is that the way the hotel is set up depending on where your room is it can be quite the walk to your room from the lobby. We also really enjoyed the Animal Kingdom park it was a great experience. We were concerned it might be just like going o the zoo but was literally a theme park with wild animals. We have been to Disneyland a few times and preferred the magic kingdom in Disneyland to that of Disneyworld. The pool area of this hotel is also very beautiful and nice views!

“Peaceful resort”

This was my 3rd time to stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and it was still just as great as the other times. This resort is very quiet and comfy compared to many of the other Disney resorts I've stayed at. Very spacious rooms with wonderful service. Our animal view was outstanding this trip. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

“A wonderful hotel and resort with tons to see and do.”

The hotel and resort are magnificent. If I had known that Animal Kingdom Lodge was so much more than a hotel, we wouldn't have pre-arranged so many days of park-hopping. Every morning, were were greeted by the animals! Amazing! All we had to do was stand on our balcony to see the marvelous animals. The pool area is beautiful. Everyday, there are many fun activities for children and adults at Animal Kingdom Lodge. The staff are friendly and helpful. If we return to Orlando, we definitely will stay at Animal Kingdom and spend more time at the lodge itself, rather than heading to the theme parks daily.

When to go

November -- warm, but not hot, sometimes a nice breeze, very short lines (if any) at the theme parks.

Getting around

Disney World resort buses are extremely convenient. At your resort, you will see the Disney buses labelled in front by their destination (Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Downtown Disney). Buses run frequently and constantly. Also, there is the monorail operating between certain theme parks. Finally, I heard about the water routes (e.g. from Port Orleans resort to the parks), but I don't have any details on this. One final note: Fast Pass definitely is worth it, and free. You go to a popular attraction/ride, get a fast pass, then return at the time indicated on your fast pass ticket (generally an hour-long period during which you can return for the attraction/ride).

Must see

At Hollywood Studies: Strongly recommend Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (I'm still recovering from that fun and wild ride). Also strongly recommend the Aerosmith ride (near the Tower of Terror), especially if you like rock music and fast cars. At Epcot: Soarin' is a lot of fun. If anyone has a fear of heights, however, you might consider having someone check it out first to see if the fearful person could tolerate it. At Animal Kingdom: The safari in Africa is a relaxing and amazing experience. You will see many animals. Also, the ride with the abominable snowman in Asia is terrific. Finally, the white water rafting ride is lots of fun.

Shopping

If you like to stock up on groceries, consider Winn Dixie supermarket. If you don't have a car, you can easily catch the Disney World resort shuttle to Downtown Disney, then catch a cab to Winn Dixie.

Other

I thought it was a cliche before I arrived, but it's true that every single staff member at Disney World (bus drivers, hotel staff, theme park staff, etc) was nice, pleasant, smiling, helpful.

“Middle of the Road”

Small room and overwhelming smell of cleaner-trying-to-cover-urine smell the whole time. Overall, I think the resort is pretty cool-checking in, the people were wonderful. What really irritated me was I upgraded to the concierge level and one night while driving back to the resort, I called the concierge desk to get a reservation at the restaurant INSIDE the resort and no one would pick up! I ended up calling the front desk twice and twice they couldn't get anyone. There was no way to call directly to the restaurant. I kept getting put into the overall Disney dining loop. I arrived back at the resort and went right up to the concierge level and there they were, just sitting there, typing on the computer, not talking to anyone, not answering the phone. Same thing happened on checkout when we wanted to get our bags taken down. No concierge help (again wouldn't pick up the phone) and when I called the bellhop directly on the phone I was put on hold for 15 minutes! I got so irritated that I put my husband on the phone and went down to the bellhop desk. Again, standing there, not helping anyone (but always busy on the computer). I was irate at this point and they acted so blase about the whole thing. My husband was still on the phone when I went back to the room. They finally picked up and said "your wife has already told us." That was it, no apology or explanation. My recommendation is to not pay the extra for concierge because the level of help is not anything special.
