Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is an African-themed "deluxe" resort in Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida, USA. It is located very close to Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park and has uniquely situated itself amidst 33 acres of savanna land--and the 200 species of animals that call it home! That's right--guests at AKL have the opportunity to view and observe a private animal reserve, populated with hundreds of indigenous African animals, directly from their hotel room balconies. This experience is unparalled anywhere outside of the African plains.

In addition to the unbelievable opportunity to wake up to the sound of zebras munching breakfast outside of your window, Animal Kingdom Lodge guests are provided a luxurious resort hotel setting, complete with top-notch service, unique restaurants--including the largest collection of South African wines in North America, a multi-service spa and fitness center, a zero-entry pool, two jacuzzi hot tubs, a tricked out kids' zone and babysitting center, and fun and educational activities for adults and children.

We hope you'll enjoy AKL as much as we do, and are taking this opportunity to give you a little overview of the resort. Feel free to check out and make comments on the Animal Kingdom Lodge image galleries; and discuss your upcoming trip, or ask questions about AKL and Walt Disney World!
