Overview
An entirely unique Disney experience for guests to enjoy just west of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. It’s the thrill of staying at a wildlife reserve with animals grazing just beyond their balcony. Rejuvenate both body and spirit in luxurious surroundings while sharing the grandeur of the African wilderness. The beauty of the savanna, the rhythm of tribal drums, exquisite cuisine in lush settings and the lure of authentic African treasures all come together to celebrate the beauty and wonder of this vast and untamed continent.

Awesome stay
Pamela B on May 07, 2025
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.
Check your suite for cleanliness
Dana H on May 03, 2025
?? 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 m...anagement, 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.
