A No-Park Trip
its5oclocksumwhere (Derry, New Hampshire) on Jul 02, 2024
On my Bucket List was to stay at a Disney Resort....without parks! I have always wanted to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge so we booked a rather last minute (90 days out) trip. We stayed 4 nights and it was just PERFECT! The Cast Members are top notch! The decor is complete immersion! We went to all the educational talks and earned "beads" for our bracelet (all free). The dining was AMAZING! We got all the reservations we wanted. The bars were phenomenal! The room (king bed) was huge! We did the Pre-Check so we went right to our room. We were in the lobby (4th floor) and had an amazing view of the Savannah. Room was exceptionally clean. We loved the subtle and sophisticated Lion King themed. The Kerig and pods in the room were a big bonus for me. Brewing a cup of Joe and watching animals walk by my room was pure joy! We walked around and watched the animals, sat on rocking chairs on a beautiful "porch", snacked on delicious Disney treats (try the Raindrop!!) and swam in the beautiful pool! It was by far the most relaxing Disney trip we have ever taken! I don't think I'd pay that much for a room if I was going to be in the parks all day, but for a stand alone resort, or if you have non-park days mixed into your trip, it was absolutely worth every single penny!
Animal Kingdom Lodge becoming my favorite hotel at Disney

We visited Walt Disney World to see a relative perform there. The Animal Kingdom Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. It is away from the busier places and quieter. The zebras and giraffes grazed right outside our balcony! We did have a great time and hope to return.
