General Information:
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is a 33-acre wildlife reserve and African-style hotel located
near Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park and approximately 25 miles from Orlando
International Airport. Local attractions include Disney's Magic Kingdom® Park and
Disney-MGM Studios.
The perfect resort for animal lovers, guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge can watch
antelope, giraffes, exotic birds, and other creatures from most balcony rooms, restaurants,
the pool, and other public areas. Guests may partake in several animal programs, including
cultural safaris, watching the animals at dusk with night vision technology, junior researcher
programs, and watching animal handlers feed pelicans and flamingos. The zero-entry outdoor
swimming pool features a 67-foot waterslide, and the pool area also contains a children's pool
and two whirlpools. After a long, hard safari, guests can unwind at the Zahanati Massage &
Fitness Center, featuring massages, beauty treatments, exercise equipment, personal trainers,
and saunas. Parents who would like a night to themselves may drop the kids off at Simba's
Clubhouse, where children can be entertained by games and Disney movies in a supervised
environment. Kids will also enjoy the 24-hour Hakuna Matata Playground, overlooking the
flamingo area and the savanna. Additional amenities include a family style dining restaurant,
a fine dining restaurant, Pumbaa's Fun & Games Arcade, babysitting services, valet and self
parking, laundry facilities, and laundry services.
With Extra Magic Hours, guests staying at a Walt Disney World® Resort have even more
chances to experience the magic. Each day one of the Disney Theme Parks opens an hour early or
stays open up to three hours after regular Park closing, so guests can enjoy easy access to
select attractions - even the most popular ones.
