Creator's Key Takeaways

Welcome to Animal Kingdom Lodge, my favorite Disney resort.

The glass door is nice for cleanliness sake.

The Mara is one of our favorite quick resort breakfasts.

Animal Kingdom Lodge is so much more than a hotel. It's an immersive experience that perfectly embraces Disney's signature edutainment.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Budget extra time for bus transportation to other parks due to the lodge's secluded location.
Consult with the chef for allergy-friendly meals at quick service locations.
Visit the large windows at the back of the resort to see giraffes and impalas even if you don't have a savannah view room.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Room size and feelBe aware that the dark wood makes the room feel tighter and less open than DVC rooms.
Coffee needsYou have a Keurig with Joffrey's pods in the room, but you can get better coffee in the parks.
Refrigerator needsThe cooler is for beverages only; if you need a true refrigerator for medicine or formula, let the hotel know.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Review: Jambo House Room Tour & Gluten-Free Dining Guide Is Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge the best resort at Walt Disney World? In this video, we are sharing a full tour of a Standard Hotel Room at Jambo House and exploring why this is my absolute favorite Disney resort—even compared to our home DVC resort at the Boardwalk! If you are planning a Disney World vacation for a family of five, we’re showing you the layout of our adjoining rooms, the unique "Lion King" inspired decor, and the practical details of staying at Jambo House. While these rooms are a bit more cozy than a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Villa, the incredible African art, culture, and "edu-tainment" make it a one-of-a-kind experience. What we cover in this Animal Kingdom Lodge tour: Jambo House Room Tour: A look at the double queen bed setup, the updated bathroom with a glass shower, and our honest thoughts on the "resort view" vs. a Savannah view. Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Dining at The Mara: Why this is one of the best quick-service breakfasts at Disney World, featuring Simba waffles and chakalaka breakfast bowls. Sanaa Gluten-Free Dinner: A trip over to Kidani Village to review the "legendary" GF/DF bread service and tips for getting a walk-up table without a reservation. Resort Logistics: How to navigate the Disney bus system from AKL and what to know about the "secluded" location near Animal Kingdom. Whether you are here for the giraffes on the Savannah or the incredible food at Boma and Victoria Falls, Animal Kingdom Lodge offers an immersive experience unlike any other hotel on property. Menus change. Cross contamination happens. Always advocate for yourself with the staff to make sure your food is safe for your specific needs.
