Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is an African-themed deluxe resort at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. It opened on April 16, 2001. The resort is owned and operated by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is located in the Animal Kingdom Resort Area, adjacent to Disney's Animal Kingdom. It gives guests the opportunity to view grazing wildlife outside their rooms and public areas in the resort within proximity of the animals, conveying the feeling of being in an African savanna.

History
This hotel was designed by Denver architect Peter Dominick of Urban Design Group (now 4240 Architecture), who also designed Disney's Wilderness Lodge and Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.

On October 11, 2006, Disney announced to local media that Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge would become home to the newest Disney Vacation Club property, Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas. On February 18, 2008, Disney announced the first phase of this expansion was complete and included 109 rooms.

A separate building named Kidani Village was built to the west of the lodge and houses more than 300 villas. The Sunset Savanna was extended to the new structure and more species of animals were introduced. A new pool was built and features water slides and an aquatic playground. Kidani Village opened 65% of its rooms on May 1, 2009. At that time, the main lodge building was renamed Jambo House. The remainder of Kidani Village was completed in September 2009.

We hope this Disney World Jambo House Tour helps!

We have not stayed at Animal Kingdom, but visited the resort. We loved sitting and watching the animals for time. We went to all the Disney Lodges during a Christmas season. Even the Animal Kingdom Lodge had unique Christmas decor. Beautiful lodge. Thanks for the video Ryan and Brie.

Animal Kingdom is my favorite park. I'm an animal lover. I have never had the opportunity to stay on site. Thanks for sharing.

The Animal Kingdom Lodge is what prompted us to buy DVC points. We stayed when our kids were little and fell in love with the place. Our kids are in their 20s now.

You got a view of where the animals shift on and off exhibit each day! That is so cool! Sure view of all there is out on the savanna.

Can’t wait! Going next Saturday for a week!!

[marcboulanger]

i was thrilled to see you do this video. I've always said if we were ever to do a Disney resort, it would be at Animal Kingdom Thanks

[LouiseB]

My family is going to stay at AKL this year!! We can’t wait, great video!

[keyman]

We stayed at Kidani Village twice. Once with that amazing savanna view. The parking is closer if you can find a good spot. We like the laid-back feel of it, but it would be nice to have a quick service like The Mara on property. Still, we didn't mind the adventure of traveling next door for Boma!

Cool video of Animal Kingdom Lodge. We went over there years ago and checked the place out. We didn't eat at any place there so we need to go back and eat at one of the restaurants there. It's a cool resort. Similar to Wilderness Lodge which I absolutely love.

As they say...."welcome Home"😊 Glad you're back at the Dis!

[catiabel]

Have you been to the caves? How do you get there? I'll only be staying at this hotel for one day in October. Will I have time to go?

[DisneyCableMagic]

Great video, thank you! We stayed on the Jambo side last year (only for one night though). And we just had our trip moved over from SSR to AKL on the Kidani side for next month, so I am doing all of the research I can. So, thank you for all of the information and honest opinions! I can't wait to check out the pools on this trip.

Thank you for sharing this information! Beautiful places to enjoy! God bless you ❤❤❤

Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of my favorites, especially Savannah view and many wonderful memories in that wonderful pool...and lets not talk about the fabulous restaurants. <3 - Christy

[thegalmal]

So fun!! My goal is to try staying in Animal Kingdom next trip!

[cindiarroyo]

We would’ve loved to have run into you at Disney. We are DVC Member‘s and Kidani village is our home resort.

[beachbum-mkcu]

That looks amazing! I am going to look into what might be the most affordable month to try this place out 🦒🦓

[kylepedrick]

I know I’m commenting a year after upload, but I’d like to recommend Jiko! Yes it’s upscale and more pricey than Boma, but it’s an amazing place to experience wines from South Africa, and the service is some of the best that I’ve had on property! My wife got the venison and cleaned her plate 😋

[SonOfManMusic]

nice. Would love to stay here some day.
