We had an amazing stay at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. The property is absolutely beautiful, and seeing the animals roaming the savanna right outside our room was an unforgettable experience. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, always going out of their way to make us feel welcome—we can’t wait to return.
Clean room, amazing amenities, beautiful grounds, friendly staff, activities for kids, all the amazing animals around the resort. And the food at the resort so delicious!!
Pool was good for children with the zero entry. The chairs placed around were weird with having to go through specific gates as the path did not fully wind around it. Pillows were outdated and the mattress made you feel like you were sleeping with the fishes on concrete.

We booked a night at the Lodge last minute due to a travel change (bad weather) and could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out. The property is gorgeous and very well-kept. The staff is so friendly and skilled. We were able to check in early and given a room upgrade at our request. Our room was well-appointed and very clean. The on-property amenities (restaurants, shops, etc.) were truly wonderful. We cannot wait to return.

The room was spotless, the view was fantastic, the lobby was spectacular. Loved every minute of it
Only reason I gave it. A three star rating is because the towels are not soft and very rough and toilet paper is single ply like most cheaper hotels. Other than that, it was a beautiful room with a beautiful view of the Savannah.
I had a nice time here. I forgot my phone charger. This hotel should sell them with blocks or have blocks in rooms. You have chargers just no blocks. Really big place. Watching the animals was really special.
Pool was cold. Valet did not tell me there was a fee to valet park. Just accepted my keys and let me know how to ask for my car when I needed it again. I found out the next day it was $42 a day. It would have been nice to know before I said yes as I was left under the impression it was complimentary/tip service. They said they would bring our luggage up, but it took over an hour and I had to call twice to ask where it was. I would have brought it myself if I knew it would take that long. Views, cleanliness, food, friendliness, and activities where all great. Was running behind on checkout and the front desk was very understanding and accommodating.
