Since it opened in 2001, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge has stood as a spectacular piece of engineering and thematic design. It also offers some of the most unique room types which overlook a real African savannah. But, it’s also…

When my younger cousin was a tot. He dropped his baby blanket onto the savannah letting the giraffes 🦒have a sniff too. It was adorable.
Does it smell like a zoo at all? That would be my first thought.
Carpet is disgusting and should never be used anywhere that is shared ever again. Idc how warm or soft it makes a place feel. They're always damp, sticky, and smells terrible.
The Disney glazing is incomprehensible
Me: “Woah, this resort is so cool and detailed, it’s hard to believe that this is a Disney-“
Jake: “And high prices”
Me: “there it is.”
Animal Kingdom Lodge is great, I'll always have a soft spot for it in my heart since it was where we stayed on my first trip to Disney World and I was in heaven as a Lion King-obsessed child. Last time we stayed there though, our room was literally a 10 minute walk from the bus stop through some comically long hallways
jiko and sanaa are some of the best restaurants at disney food-wise imo. my parents swear by jiko, and sanaa's food is so good we changed our plans around entirely on the last day of our trip to fit it in again lol.
also, when i was maybe six, my family – us, grandparents, and uncles – pitched in to get a two-story family suite in animal kingdom lodge. unfortunately we all got sick and decided never to do it again, but i remember it fondly, and the room itself was fantastic.
The theming of this hotel is incredible. Wish Disney kept it up with other hotels.
hands down the best disney resort. for the price its actually the best value of them all.
My last trip to Disney will be my last trip to Disney..
AKL Kidani is my parents home resort. I love it so much
My family and I are DVC members and we stay at Animal Kingdom lodge at every trip – if we didn’t have DVC unsure about the value but the experience of staying there is always my favorite part of our trips.
I hate the Disney parks with a passion but I would genuinely listen to this man talk about anything.
This is the only Disney hotel I’ve ever wanted to stay in since I was like 6
I stayed there a couple weeks ago and I absolutely loved it from the moment the porter opened the taxi door for me to the moment I leave. The cast members talked to me as if they actually cared about my trip and my experience, like it matters to them personally, it’s amazing hospitality. The hotel is so grand and so unique. I can spend so much time just exploring it.
My biggest complaint would be the lack of room service and spa. It would be so nice and luxurious to have food wheeled to my balcony where I can enjoy it with the view of the animals.
We have stayed in this resort for many times. Depends on the time of the year- the mosquitoes are fierce! lol.
Having said that- it really is cool! And we love it. This and Coronado Springs have always had a cool theme to it. 👍
Great and honest review.
Question, did you ask why the trees are so precisely cut 00:23 ? love the retro aesthetics of this channel
AKL looks like an elevated Wilderness lodge. I've always wanted to stay here. I probably should before they queue it up for more bland renovations. I am planning on visiting the resort on my upcoming trip to check it out and try the food, I've heard a lot of good things about it.
When are you going to do the Disney Wilderness Lodge? The architecture is beautiful and amazing there.
Great review! Would love to see you review one of the Phantasialand hotels in Germany one day!
I only have one gripe that being the car safari. I think they should use electric cars for that
Hi Jake! Not sure how I missed this video but glad I caught it! What a beautiful hotel. Absolutely love the savanna and I think I would have padded the chairs myself lol just to sit out there and watch! The place is just fascinating for someone who loves art, architecture and culture. Great video as always! 👱♀️🌈 Cindy
if this is going to be expensive, then, you should go review the worst rated hotel in las vegas: the circus circus hotel.
We have not stayed there, but have dined there many times. I will never forget taking my parents there in 2023. They had not been to Disney in over 20 years, and had only ever been to two parks. My husband and I took them to AKL to have breakfast at Boma. It was in early January, so the tree was still up. I will never forget the shock on their faces as they stepped out of that foyer into the lobby. They literally both stopped in their tracks and looked up. You could see the awe in their faces. We spent quite a bit of time roaming around after our breakfast. It's a truly gorgeous resort.
I have never had any interest in ever going to a Disney property, but this? This I would love to go to and spend half my time just looking at the entire buildings. 😀
The subtitles wouldn’t work on this video so I couldn’t hear but still interesting.
Imagine paying $540/night for a hotel room and thinking that's a decent value.
I went to Disney World as a kid in the early 2000s, and although we did not stay here we did come to this lodge for dinner one night. As a not necessarily 'picky' but perhaps 'set in my ways' foodwise 9-year-old, I was extremely surprised how much I enjoyed the somewhat adult and exotic foods they served. It's actually one of the things I remember most about the trip. Though I've never particularly been a fan of Disney, this resort is really incredible and beautiful. I'd be tempted to visit again just for the animals.
no carpet is a feat, not a bug
That’s definitely a cuck chair rather than a sofa
My manager had stayed there and was so awesome!
We stayed at AKL on our last trip…while it is likely the last trip we will ever take to disney given ballooning costs, we loved the hotel. Easily the best we ever stayed at.
I also think the wilderness lodge is underrated
Lol me and my beautiful gf played the mancala in the gift shop, I also bought myself a wee drum, best Disney resort, we loved it, she didn't like how far it was, which tbh me too but it was worth it, it even stormed and omfg, it felt like when I was a kid, seeing Hogwarts at Halloween, the warmth, magic, really lovely place, Animal Kingdom lodge is beautiful! I can't stop singing it's praises, one of my favourite things we did while I was in Florida, granted we didn't sleep there but still, it was great!
Stayed there years ago. Loved it. One of the best vacation hotel experiences that my family still talks about today.
