May 06, 2025Awesome stay
Wow! This hotel is just amazing. From the decor to the grounds with all the animals, the children loved every minute of it. Would highly recommend. Drinks a bit pricey in the bar, but that's to be expected. We had the dining plan which was great.

May 03, 2025Check your suite for cleanliness
⭐️ I recently stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge and had mixed experiences. Unfortunately, my bed sheets were not clean; there were noticeable stains, including blood. When I brought this to the attention of management, I was offered a $100 discount, but I expected more concern regarding cleanliness and guest comfort. I usually choose resorts to ensure a pleasant stay, and this experience fell short of my expectations. On a positive note, the restaurant staff were incredibly friendly and kind, and the food was decent. However, I felt that the amenities could use some updates to enhance the overall experience. While there were some positives, I would suggest considering other resorts if you're seeking a more comfortable stay.

May 02, 2025Lovely stay - wider variety of food needed
Stayed in Jambo house for a week with 2 children 6 and 2! Lovely hotel had a great view of the pool and got to see the animals with a little walk around Only thing that let it down was the food options were limited We used disney dining plan which was amazing and made it easy for us but the variants especially for children were so small

good experience with some down sides
Considering the hotel's high price, one would expect a true five-star experience, but it doesn't fully meet those expectations. While the hotel staff was quite friendly, and the shuttle service to various areas was convenient, it was often overcrowded. The quality of the food was also underwhelming, and the pool area was quite congested. Overall, this hotel is a decent option if your main focus is visiting the nearby parks; however, if that’s not your priority, you may find it disappointing.

Our new favorite
My wife and I stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge for five days in February 2025. As annual pass holders who frequently stay both on and off Disney property, we were excited for our first experience at this resort—and it did not disappoint. Animal Kingdom Lodge exceeded our expectations and quickly became our new favorite. Despite some concerns we had heard about the transportation (bus-only service), we experienced no issues with the bus system. It was efficient, reliable, and seamless throughout our stay. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, as one would expect from Disney. However, what truly makes Animal Kingdom Lodge extraordinary are the savanna-view rooms. The unique experience of waking up to giraffes outside our window while enjoying morning coffee and relaxing with dessert on the balcony while watching animals roam in the evening made our stay truly memorable. We highly recommend choosing a savanna-view room, as this feature truly defines the uniqueness of the resort. The pool area was also wonderful, the dining options were excellent with diverse and delicious choices, and our room was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably maintained. Overall, Animal Kingdom Lodge offers a uniquely immersive and delightful experience—we can't wait to return.
