Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

Its was great to see the wildlife outside of your room. Have to do the Savanna view. Food was good rooms were clean, service was great

Resort itself was great! There seemed to be an issue with having all of our transfers correctly done. I am not sure if this was because we were on a Disney Cruise beforehand (not booked directly with Disney) or because we book the AKL via Orbitz. On the way home, I had to call the transportation company myself to confirm our reservations and then we never got the voucher in our check out materials from AKL. I've done this before with Disney and never had this issue.

The Staff was very friendly and the overall experience was excellent.

Our stay could not have been better. Upon arrival, we found that we were randomly chosen to be upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite and were given all the privileges of private club level guests. Our room faced the savanna and we had beautiful wild animals right outside our balcony!

Even though Disney is for families, it seems that the hotel lacked in the dining experience for children. That was really the only negative I had with the hotel. The staff was great and very friendly, the pool was wonderful, and the scenery was absolutely wonderful as well. This was my first trip to Disney but I probably would not stay at this hotel if I decide to go back. Mainly because there is so much more to see with the other hotels and it wouldn't be right to limit yourself to the same place time after time.

The atmosphere was fantastic. I love the fireplace in the lobby and the cartoons for the kids. The concierge and staff were very friendly. However, there was one day when we returned from the park at 4pm and our room wasn't clean. I called and they informed me they would clean it immediately, but they never showed. When choosing this hotel, you have to weigh the location of the hotel within Disney vs. the great atmosphere. It's a little far out, but may be worth it to most people.

Our family arrived on Friday and left on Monday, we had a great time we spend most of the time in the hotel pool and other facilities.we ate at different restaurants which the hotel had. One of the days which was Sunday we went to Walt disney world with our family which we had a great time..The only thing we did not like was that the pool was too cold to enjoy but we went in anyways..This trip has been the best because our sons enjoy the view of all the animals..We had a relaxing and fun time.

We went there for 5 nights in Mid May 2009. We stayed at the Savannah view room. The room was quite nice, not very big but comfortable with two clean queen beds and a very clean bathroom...no issues at all in that respect. Great view off of the balconoy and could see various animals throughout the day. Their pool is good enough, not extensive but fine. THe regular cafeteria is similar to other disney resorts, just ok...but their buffet, although pricey, is excellent. Staff is VERY friendly, helpful and available. We traveled with a 2year old and every time we were in our room she enjoyed the animals...much better than looking at a parking lot out your window. It is not a big resort type of hotel (i.e. vegas) but a good size lodge with enough to meet your needs. Better than the other various disney resorts we've stayed in...the Swan/Dolphin and other luxury ones are geared more towards adults, this one is luxury towards family. Don't have anything bad to say about it.

The hotel staff was informative and very friendly. There were some animals, giraffes, zebras, oxen, and an africa deer. We thought the hotel was connected to the park, so we expected to see more animals. There are plenty of animal viewing places throughout the hotel, so a Savannah room view is not necessary. There are two hotels in the complex, so make sure you check out both.

It was a wonderful experience and would recommend it to others especially animal and nature lovers.
