Readers' Opinions

Anything to do with Disney is usually a hit! We were fascinated with the animals and the lodge too! This is one of the best Hotels Orlando has to offer! - Slater Reid

probably the best hotel at all of WDW. followed by the stellar wilderness lodge. - Tim W

We didn't stay there, but had dinner at Jiko - The Cooking Place last week 10/9/08. We explored the grounds a bit. There was a tribal dancing demonstration in the lobby when we arrived - very cool. The restuarant was fabulous - 1st class service and food. The best place I've been to eat at Disney. - Andy Guinigundo

We stayed here for one night and actually won the Year of a Million Dreams family of the day. This meant we were upgraded to the presidential suite. HOLY COW!!! So this is how the other half lives. It was a beautiful suite that was huge. Highly recommended for those that can pay the price tag. The rest of the resort was beautifully decorated and seeing all those majestic animals roaming the savannah was well worth it. Disney does a wonderful job at recreating Africa. The staff is very friendly and eager to be a help in any way. I would highly recommend Animal Kingdom Lodge to any age group, especially if you have a love of animals. - Melissa Faulkner

The Animal Kingdom Lodge is Disney at it's finest, in my opinion. The rooms are lovely (and keep with the theme)and the views (paying extra for a savanna view is HIGHLY recommended) are FANTASTIC! When I stayed there a mother and baby giraffe frequented the land outside our balcony and that alone was worth the lofty price tag. The lobby is breathtaking and walking the grounds can provide ours of fun AND education about animals of the serengeti. The pool is gorgeous and the restaurants and food were great. I really have no complaints about this resort and would suggest it to anyone! - Lindsay Murray
