Animal Kingdom Lodge Review

By /

We recently stayed in Animal Kingdom Lodge read our review and watch our video guided tour.

Do we have a favourite Walt Disney World Resort?

Probably not…..BUT if we did it would probably be Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Why?

Well it is the only resort we have stayed in twice and felt the need to return. All Disney Resorts are fantastic but this is the only one we felt like being at home.

Jambo House Animal Kingdom Lodge
Animal Kingdom Lodge

Animal Kingdom Lodge is a beautiful resort with unique theming & a fantastic ambience.

The resort is actually split into 2:

  • Jambo House a typical Disney World Deluxe Hotel Resort with a few Disney Vacation Club properties.
  • Kidani Village a Disney Vacation Club Property.

Guest can use the facilities at either resort.

Over 30 species of animal wander in the Resort’s Savannah. Many rooms have Savannah views where you might see giraffes & zebras each morning. Those guests who don’t have a Savannah view can wander around the hotel’s trails.

All of the rooms at the Animal Kingdom Lodge have a balcony and features either two queen beds, one queen bed and a bunk bed, or a king bed. The rooms are decorated to an African style with carved wooden head-board. Guests with families might like the bunk bed rooms but make sure you request in advance.

Animal Kingdom Lodge is classified as a Walt Disney World Deluxe Resort. However; you will often find that rooms are slightly cheaper than some of the other deluxe resorts.

The are two full-service restaurants – Boma-Flavors of Africa and Jiko-The Cooking Place plus a quick-service eatery called the Mara. Food in Animal Kingdom Lodge is widely recognised as some of the best across Walt Disney World.

Kidani Village has its own facilities including pool and shop.

Sanaa Kidani Village Animal Kingdom Lodge

Kidani Village features Sanaa restaurant a personal favourite which features “the art of African cooking with Indian flavors”.

The Con

We think Animal Kingdom lodge is fantastic BUT the is a downside!

The resort is located much further away from theme parks than the other Disney Deluxe Resorts. Whilst the journey to Animal Kingdom is relatively short getting to Magic Kingdom etc can take some time.

Summary and Further Research

We love Animal Kingdom Lodge and have had a fantastic time each time we have stayed. We also feel it is a great resort for families especially those with small children. However; do consider the extra travel time with small children.

EPCOT: The Basics Planning Your Visit to EPCOT Helpful Information when visiting EPCOT EPCOT Tips to Have a Great Vacation World Celebration, World Nature, and World Discovery World Showcase Dining at EPCOT  Seasonal Festivals at EPCOT Ultimate Guide to EPCOT EPCOT The Basics To all who come to this place of joy, hope and friendship, welcome. EPCOT is inspired by Walt Disney's creative vision. Here, human achievements are celebrated through imagination, wonders of enterprise and concepts of a future that promises new and exciting benefits for all. May EPCOT Center entertain, inform and inspire and above all, may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man's ability to shape a world that offers hope to people everywhere. E. Wardon Walker, October 24, 1982 EPCOT opened on October 1st, 1982, and was the 2nd park to open at Walt Disney World. The park covers 300 acres and is more than twice the size of Magic Kingdom. Epcot was known as EPCOT Center until 1994, but is now commonly known as just EPCOT. Recently, the spelling EPCOT seems to have returned, rather than Epcot, which was used for several years. The park is represented by Spaceship Earth, a giant sphere that also serves as an attraction of the same name. Planning Guide to EPCOT Walt Disney World Why is it called EPCOT? EPCOT is an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. It was intended to be a utopian city of the future, planned by Walt Disney to be built in Florida. After Walt's death, his vision for EPCOT was not developed, but it became the name of the 2nd theme park. A model of Walt's original vision can be seen riding the Tomorrowland Transit Authority attraction in the Magic Kingdom. EPCOT Facts Like all the Disney Theme Parks, EPCOT has many interesting facts and statistics, e.g., did you know that more than 30 tons of fruits and vegetables are grown at The Land Pavilion each year, and are served in Walt Disney World restaurants? We have created a selection of our favorite EPCOT Facts, which you can use to impress your friends. The JAMMitors at Epcot Guide to Epcot for Beginners Transformation of EPCOT Before Walt Disney World's closure due to the pandemic, a multi-year Transformation of EPCOT had started. Unfortunately, the ambitious plans were delayed, and several projects were postponed or downgraded. However, the transformation is now complete, and unlike the other Disney World Parks, there are no new attractions announced for EPCOT. As part of the redevelopment, Future World was transformed into three new neighborhoods: World Celebration, World Nature, and World Discovery. While the final transformation isn't as grand as initially announced, it has still been an impressive transformation. The park looks fantastic and there are some top new attractions. EPCOT Transformation is now complete Planning Your Visit to EPCOT To experience EPCOT, you should spend time planning your visit. Most guests will need at least two days to experience the whole park. Not having a plan could mean you miss your top attractions. If you are planning a shorter trip, you may manage to do most of the main attractions in one day, but you won’t be able to explore the World Showcase fully. The planning process for EPCOT has undergone significant changes over the last few years. However, there is a set of tools that you must master: Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, Early Theme Park Entry, Extended Evening Hours on select nights, mobile ordering, and Advance Dining Reservations. We will cover all these topics in this Guide. EPCOT Park Hours Park hours are typically published about 60–75 days in advance and are often extended closer to your dates. Click the link to get all the latest Walt Disney World Park Hours. Guide to EPCOT 2025 & 2026 Disney Park Pass Reservation System The majority of guests no longer have to make a Disney Park Pass Reservation. If you have a date-based ticket, you are no longer required to make a reservation. If your ticket is not date-based, read our Guide to the Disney Park Pass System. Additionally, if you plan to visit more than one park each day, we recommend reading our Guide to Park Hopping. Epcot Tips, Hints & Tricks Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours. Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours are great benefits for on-site guests and select other resorts. Both benefits are regularly available at EPCOT. Early Theme Park Entry is the replacement for Extra Magic Hours. All Walt Disney World Resort guests, and other select hotels, can gain 30-minute early entry to any theme park each day. Extended Evening Hours are only available for guests staying at Deluxe Resorts. Guests at one of these resorts can enjoy extended evening hours in EPCOT on select nights.  Extended evening hours are typically held at EPCOT on Mondays. Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass. Walt Disney World currently offers three paid skip-the-line options: Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Lightning Lane Single Pass (à la carte for the top rides), and Lightning Lane Premier Pass (covers all Lightning Lane attractions once per day). You don’t need any of these to have a great day, but they do reduce waits. Disney Resort (and select hotel) guests can buy and book up to 7 days before check-in for their entire stay (up to 14 days); off-site guests can book up to 3 days before their park day. EPCOT has a number of the biggest rides at Walt Disney World. So if time is tight, or in peak periods, there might be advantages in buying Lightning Lanes. Some of the most popular attractions at EPCOT are unavailable on Disney Genie+. An individual fee is required to access the Lightning Lane for these attractions.  There is currently only one Animal Kingdom attraction sold as a Lightning Lane Single Pass: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Cosmic Rewind does attract long waits, so if time is tight, a Single Pass might be worth considering. However, if you are happy to join the queue at park closing time, you will always manage a ride. You must understand all about the Lightning Lane options as soon as possible. Read our Guide to Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Single Pass, and Premier Pass to learn more. How to tour EPCOT. Tips and Tricks Single Rider Line at EPCOT Want to avoid a long wait without buying a Multi Pass? Test Track and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure have a single-rider line that can cut your wait if you are happy to ride alone. Read our Guide to the Single Rider Line to find out more. Are you big enough to ride? Don’t create a strategy that includes all family members riding to realize too late; not all of you can. Disney does enforce height restrictions. Height restrictions in place at EPCOT are: Mission Space Orange at least 44″ Mission Space Green at least 40″ Test Track at least 40″ Soarin at least 40″ Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is at least 42″. If the kids are too small, you can use a rider switch to allow the rest of the party to ride. Park Wi-Fi and My Disney Experience. You will not be putting your phone away when you visit EPCOT! At EPCOT, you will use My Disney Experience all day for wait times, Mobile Order, Lightning Lane management, showtimes, and maps. Wi-Fi is available throughout the parks and is generally good. Walt Disney World encourages all guests to download the latest version of My Disney Experience on their mobile devices before entering the parks. Additionally, they recommend enabling location services and notifications. Guide to EPCOT 2025 & 2026 Banned at EPCOT EPCOT has various rules you must follow. Click the link to find out more about what is Banned at Epcot. Meeting Characters at EPCOT EPCOT is one of the best parks at Walt Disney World for meeting characters. Character meals are available in the Land(Chip & Dale, Mickey) and Norway(Princesses), but plenty of characters are also throughout the park. Characters that can only be met at EPCOT, for free, include Mulan, Star-Lord, Anna, and Elsa. Our Guide to Finding Characters at Walt Disney World has plenty of helpful hints. Make sure you have access to the My Disney Experience App to find where all the characters are.

EPCOT 2025 & 2026 Planning Guide Helpful Information when visiting Epcot Sometimes it isn't easy to find the answers to all your questions before you visit EPCOT. We have created a section on Modern Life Is Good that answers many of these questions on the Animal Kingdom and the rest of Walt Disney World.

Information you will find includes Theme Park rules, stroller hire, locker hire, tours, baby care centers, first aid, and lots more helpful Walt Disney World information. Guide to Epcot - Useful Information Epcot Tips to Have a Great Vacation Anybody who has ever visited EPCOT will have a list of tips for a future visit. Here is a selection of ours that we have learned from previous visits. Here are our EPCOT Top Tips & Tricks Here is a list of mistakes we have made when visiting EPCOT. Although this post is a bit old, we previously considered what We Love & what We Hate at EPCOT. Visiting EPCOT in 2025 and 2026 World Celebration, World Discovery, and World Nature This area was previously known as Future World and is now split into three lands: World Celebration offers new experiences that connect guests to one another and the world around them. World Discovery brings stories about science, technology, and intergalactic adventure to life. World Nature is dedicated to understanding and preserving the beauty, awe, and balance of the natural world. Guide to EPCOT for Beginners 2025 & 2026 World Celebration World Celebration is the redesigned park's entrance. The various gardens do give the park a great new look. However, Communicore Plaza and Communicore Hall are pretty disappointing. Communicore Hall is especially disappointing and is struggling to create its original description as the center of EPCOT festivals. Communicore Hall A side building of Communicore Hall is being used as the new location to meet Mickey Mouse and friends. This meet and greet is also a little disappointing, and you might find the experience in the other Disney Parks better. Perhaps the best bit is Dreamers Point. This overlook features a statue of Walt Disney called “Walt the Dreamer.” Walt the Dreamer statue at EPCOT Spaceship Earth is one of the most recognizable structures in any theme park. Inside is a 15-minute ride that shows the advancement of human communication. A post-ride exhibit is called Project Tomorrow: Inventing the Wonders of the Future. Spaceship Earth was to transform, but this transformation has been postponed. However, at the time of writing, it is undergoing a multi-month refurbishment, but no changes have been announced. GEO-82 is a new adult-only lounge that has opened at the exit of Spaceship Earth. Spacehip Earth EPCOT Figment, the mischievous cartoon dragon, stars in Journey into Imagination with Figment. This is a fun dark ride experience. However, my children have found Figment to be a little scary when young. ImageWorks: The What-If Labs is an interactive area you can explore after the ride. The labs are an area most adults will happily skip, but kids do enjoy them. Figment currently meets in this area. The Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival is held in the former Captain EO & Honey I Shrunk the Audience Theatre. While these 3D films are pretty good, they can be seen elsewhere. Is this an excellent use of your Walt Disney World ticket money? Journey into Imagination with Figment World Discovery Test Track has recently been reimagined, and it is rather good. The finale hasn't changed, and it remains the fastest ride in Walt Disney World, but the show scenes have been significantly altered. Test Track is great fun, and it remains one of the most popular attractions in the park. The ride has a Single Rider Line, which you should consider using to save time. Test Track also closes whenever there is inclement weather, and in storm season, it is advisable to ride early. The new Test Track at Epcot. Mission Space is a simulator ride that is meant to replicate what an astronaut might feel in space. I don't get Mission Space—It just feels a bit odd and not very enjoyable. I am happy to give it a miss if the time is tight. Space 220 is a relatively new addition to the park adjacent to Mission Space. I'm pleased to say the restaurant is significantly better than the ride, and you should not miss it. Dining at Space 220 EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, in the Wonders of Xandar Pavilion, is my favorite current attraction in Walt Disney World. It was initially slated to open in 2021, but eventually opened on May 27, 2022. The indoor coaster stars the Guardians of the Galaxy cast, including Rocket and Groot. The fast-spinning coaster has fantastic effects and a sensational random soundtrack. The ride is popular for a good reason, and unless you want a lengthy wait, you might need to buy a Single Pass. The very popular Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind World Nature Guests ride Clamobiles and take an underwater trip in The Seas with Nemo & Friends. The ride includes views of a massive aquarium, which you can explore further after the ride. Turtle Talk with Crush is an interactive animated show where guests can ask questions to Crush from Finding Nemo. I find the animation of Turtle Talk very impressive, and the entire family seems to enjoy the show. The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT There are three attractions inside the Land Pavilion in the World Nature area. Soarin' Around the World is a hang gliding motion simulator that takes guests over various regions of the world. The attraction used to be one of EPCOT's most popular, but waits are usually fairly manageable on most days. Soarin' at The Land Awesome Planet is a 10-minute film partly created by Industrial Light & Magic. The film explores the spectacular beauty, diversity, and dynamic story of Earth. Living with the Land is a narrated boat ride where you will visit various greenhouses and learn about future agriculture innovations. Unfortunately, many of these future agricultural innovations have been highlighted for over 20 years. Presumably, the future should be here by now, or it just isn’t happening. Perhaps many of these innovations are the agricultural equivalent of the Sinclair C5? Actually, we did the Behind the Seeds Tour, and I now have a whole new perspective on this agrarian innovation. Living with the Land Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana, opened in 2023. This interactive outdoor trail offers a chance to play and interact with water as it travels from the sky to the oceans and back again. It isn't the reasons why you visit EPCOT, but actually, it is great fun. Worth visiting during the day and after dark. Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana World Showcase World Showcase is a permanent world fair containing 11 pavilions, each representing a country. The pavilions surround the World Showcase Lagoon, where the nightly Luminous The Symphony of Us occurs. The show features fireworks, fountains, music, and lights. I'm not a massive fan, but many people love it. The pavilions contain architecture, attractions, shops, and restaurants you would typically find in that country. Cast Members are usually citizens of the respective countries. Theoretically, there is space for a further nine pavilions at World Showcase, but despite rumors, there has been no confirmation of additions to World Showcase. EPCOT's International Gateway, between the United Kingdom & France, provides a less hectic additional entrance and exit for the park. It can be reached from the EPCOT Resorts by walking or by boat. In addition, there is a Disney Skyliner stop. It is a great entrance if you want to be one of the first guests to ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. World Showcase Guide to Epcot For Beginners Mexico The Mexico pavilion includes the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros, a "Small World-type ride" featuring Donald Duck. There had been rumors that this attraction might be updated with a new Coco theme, but it seems to have gone very quiet. The majority of the pavilion is located inside the impressive pyramid. The central indoor area of the pyramid is themed as an outdoor twilight-lit Mexican village and marketplace. Norway The Norway Pavilion is the most recent nation to be added to World Showcase in 1988. The outside of the pavilion is a reproduction of Oslo's Akershus Fortress. Norway includes the popular Frozen Ever After dark ride. This ride is exceptionally popular, and waits can be long if you do not use a Lightning Lane. Frozen Ever After Norway is also the only place at Walt Disney World to meet Anna & Elsa. China You enter this pavilion through a large triple-arched gate. An impressive replication of the Temple of Heaven is the dominant feature. China includes "Reflections of China," a Circle-Vision 360° movie exploring China's history. A new film called “Wondrous China” had previously been announced, but it seems to have been canceled. The Outpost The Outpost isn't an official EPCOT pavilion but has been around since 1983. The original EPCOT plans highlighted a future Equatorial Africa Pavilion in this area, but it was never developed. The Outpost contains some African-themed shopping and refreshment stops. However, there isn't much to see here. Germany Germany is designed to look like a German town, but with architecture from various regions. When the pavilion was initially designed, the Unification of Germany seemed a remote possibility. Many small shops sell traditional German goods. There is an impressive Model Village on the pavilion's exit towards Italy. Italy Italy features a plaza surrounded by a collection of buildings inspired by hallmarks of Italian architecture. The centerpiece is the superb reproduction of St Mark's Campanile, which is the bell tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice. The pavilion includes several shops that sell costly gifts, including Armani products, fine crystal, wines & porcelain. The American Adventure The United States pavilion is actually called The American Adventure. The highlight is an audio-animatronic show detailing American history. Overall, there is little to see in this pavilion, but the show is rather good, although perhaps a bit too patriotic! The American Adventure Epcot World Showcase Japan Japan is made up of buildings surrounding a courtyard. The entrance to the courtyard features a 5-story Japanese Pagoda. Several Japanese gardens and pools decorate the pavilion. In many of the pools, you will find colorful Koi Fish. It is home to the only remaining Mitsukoshi Department Store in the United States. Morocco You can't haggle in Morocco, or I don't think you can. Otherwise, this pavilion is laid out to look like a traditional Moroccan market. It is one of my favorite pavilions in the World Showcase. However, the pavilion has undergone a sad decline in recent years after its operator hit financial difficulties. There are now few options, and the excellent Restaurant Marrakesh has been closed since 2020. Disney desperately needs to do something to revitalize this formerly brilliant pavilion. France France is themed to look like a Parisian neighborhood pre-World War 1. A replica of the Eiffel Tower is the highlight of the pavilion. The Eiffel Tower was reconstructed at a 1/10 scale of the original and stretches 103 feet into the air. Imagineers used forced perspective to make it look bigger than it is. There are plenty of shopping and dining opportunities in this pavilion. A panoramic film titled Impressions de France can be viewed in the pavilion, which has been recently upgraded to 4k. Running in tandem in the same theater is a Beauty & the Beast Sing-Along. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opened in Epcot on October 1st, 2021. The attraction is in 3D and uses a trackless ride system. During the ride, you shrink to the size of a rat and cause mayhem in Gustav’s kitchen. The ride is great fun, and a personal favorite since I first rode the Disneyland Paris version. However, it will become 2D in November. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure United Kingdom The United Kingdom is designed to look like a traditional English village, which never existed. There are some interesting gardens and several shops in the pavilion. In addition, there are usually some live bands entertaining guests. However, there is little to do in this pavilion apart from relaxing. A future Mary Poppins attraction was planned but has now been canceled. Canada The Canada pavilion is designed to remind guests of the Canadian outdoors. The outstanding landscaping includes a canyon, a waterfall, gardens, and totem poles. Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360 debuted in January 2020. The film features narration by Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy. Dining and Drinking at EPCOT If you are a foodie, then EPCOT is probably the park for you! EPCOT has the most extensive selection of dining options at Walt Disney World. From snack carts to signature dining, unique dining experiences will suit any budget. There are multiple Quick Service Locations and Food Carts throughout EPCOT. Those located in World Showcase serve traditional food from the country you are in. During the various EPCOT Festivals, additional counters are serving different specialty treats. Unlike the Magic Kingdom, where alcohol is limited, EPCOT serves specialty drinks in many locations. Drinking Around the World is a popular way many adults enjoy World Showcase. There are a large number of table service restaurants at EPCOT. Check My Disney Experience for the latest information, and note that there are reviews for the majority of restaurants on this site. EPCOT's restaurants fill up, and standby lines, if they exist, can be very long. Obtaining an Advance Dining Reservation is highly recommended. Our Guide to Dining at Walt Disney World has further information. Seasonal Festivals at EPCOT Perhaps one of the very best things about visiting EPCOT is the annual festivals. No visit to EPCOT is the same, and throughout the year, the park develops a temporary new look for the yearly festivals. Increasingly, there are very few weeks that do not hold a festival at EPCOT, but over the last year, dates have shortened slightly. There are four annual festivals, each offering unique entertainment, food, and drink. Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival is an annual celebration of food and drinks worldwide. The Food & Wine Festival is one of the yearly highlights at Walt Disney World and draws big crowds of locals, especially on the weekends. Located throughout EPCOT are Marketplaces serving specialty Drinks and Food. The festival used to be limited to World Showcase, but is now throughout the park. Eat to the Beat is a series of free concerts held nightly throughout the Food & Wine Festival. Acts who appear regularly include Billy Ocean, Tiffany, and Starship. Here is our review of the 2024 festival. EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Epcot International Festival of the Holidays The final celebration of the Epcot year features the holiday traditions of the 11 World Showcase nations. Live musical productions plus seasonal food & drink make this a not-to-miss event. Each night, a celebrity narrator tells the biblical tale of Christmas in the Candlelight Processional. A 50-piece orchestra and choir accompany the narrator. Epcot International Festival of the Arts The Epcot International Festival of the Arts starts the Epcot year by celebrating food, art & entertainment. The festival is the newest of the Epcot Festivals, and previous highlights have included: Food studios celebrate the culinary arts. The popular Disney on Broadway Concert Series. International musical and variety acts. Performing artists, including acrobats. Workshops led by professionals will teach different artistic techniques. Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival Held annually in the spring is the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Highlights include: Outdoor kitchens encircling World Showcase offer exciting food choices plus accompanying drinks. The popular Garden Rocks Concert Series Themed gardens and wildlife habitats, including a butterfly house. Disney-themed topiaries throughout the park. Annual highlights include Belle in France along with Beast, Snow White in Germany with the Seven Dwarfs, and Anna and Elsa in Norway.
