Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is a 33-acre wildlife reserve and African-style hotel located near Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park and approximately 25 miles from Orlando International Airport. Local attractions include Disney's Magic Kingdom® Park and Disney-MGM Studios.

The perfect resort for animal lovers, guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge can watch antelope, giraffes, exotic birds, and other creatures from most balcony rooms, restaurants, the pool, and other public areas. Guests may partake in several animal programs, including cultural safaris, watching the animals at dusk with night vision technology, junior researcher programs, and watching animal handlers feed pelicans and flamingos. The zero-entry outdoor swimming pool features a 67-foot waterslide, and the pool area also contains a children's pool and two whirlpools. After a long, hard safari, guests can unwind at the Zahanati Massage & Fitness Center, featuring massages, beauty treatments, exercise equipment, personal trainers, and saunas. Parents who would like a night to themselves may drop the kids off at Simba's Clubhouse, where children can be entertained by games and Disney movies in a supervised environment. Kids will also enjoy the 24-hour Hakuna Matata Playground, overlooking the flamingo area and the savanna. Additional amenities include a family style dining restaurant, a fine dining restaurant, Pumbaa's Fun & Games Arcade, babysitting services, valet and self parking, laundry facilities, and laundry services.

Disney's Magical Express Service is another benefit to staying at an on-site Disney Resort hotel. Buses take guests from the Orlando International Airport to the Disney Resort hotel, while the bags are transported and taken straight to the hotel room. When the vacation is over, guests and the bags are transported from the Disney Resort hotel back to the airport.
