Thank you so much! We love making the videos and sharing our love for Disney. We took a little break to help some extended family with medical issues but we are excited to start posting here again this Fall! 💜
I know you all don’t “vlog” but you really should. Your videos are so professional and full of information. Not to mention the quality of the videos. You do such a great job, I think a lot of us would like to see even more! Cheers from Louisville, Ky!
Oh wow, thank you so much!! We really appreciate it. We haven't really thought of vlogging but we might have to put that in our mix! We are planning to expand beyond our resort tours soon. I would love to know what you would be interested in seeing more. We have so much fun creating our videos and would love to offer as much value as possible. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts. Have a magical day!
@@MagicalResortsGuide as far as what I’d be interested in. Being a frequent Disney visitor & self proclaimed amateur Disney expert, I feel like anything at all is perfect. I just enjoy everything - seeing the resorts, the parks, hidden history, ride reviews, character interactions. Pretty much all of it! LOL
@@MagicalResortsGuideI think what you’ve done in this video is awesome. I love your addition of your toddlers likes & dislikes. I’m so nervous to try new restaurants because my boys are picky (getting more adventurous but still not for everything) and the pools from his opinion as well. I have kiddos and making their experience magical too is important to me.
Loved! This resort. As usual, the information is very concise and comprehensive. I think your videos are the best on the internet for quality and for information! Can’t wait for the next one!
Wow hats kool you all are planning to check out all the resorts this year. That's an idea I've been thinking about doing lately. I'm thinking on checking out the Animal Kingdom Resort next week 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much!! We loved that one. You should definitely check it out when you get the chance. It's such a fun resort. Thanks for watching our video and sharing!! Have a magical day ✨
Thank you for covering Animal Kingdom Lodge! On my last Disney trip, though I stayed elsewhere, I had lunch at Sanaa and fell in love with the decor and vibe at Kidani Village (btw, the bread service was tasty!). Because of that, I hope to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge on a future trip soon. What time of year did you all go to this resort? I'm thinking of going in January or February. Also, what's the difference between Animal Kingdom Lodge and Jambo House?
Oh yes! We visited for meals many times and then stayed for the challenge and I was hooked. It's amazing! The footage in this video was taken from two different trips, one May 2022 and one March 2023. Late January and early February are great times to go. Low crowds and normally good room rates! I personally avoid early January and late February though since there are always events scheduled that bring in big crowds. You'll have some chilly mornings but typically pretty nice weather! Now for the differences: Animal Kingdom Lodge is the name of the property as a whole. Think of it as the umbrella term for the whole resort property. On the grounds you will have two different building that you can stay at; Jambo House and Kidani Village (which you've been to). Kidani Village is where all of the Disney Vacation Club rooms can be found. These are more timeshare style with studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and more options. You can book these even if you aren't DVC. Jambo House is where you will find all of your hotel room (and other amenities) and this lobby and grounds are some of my favorites. It's really gorgeous here. For me, I think Kidani village is a little smaller and more intimate and Jambo House is more grand and really immersive. I hope this helps! If you have other questions, feel free to reach out. Thanks so much for watching our video and sharing 💜✨
You are great at this and honest reviews if I ever get a lot of money I'd love to go to all resort hotels plus four seasons and waldorf you should review those also.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much. You are too kind! 💜 I would love to stay at those resorts, too, one day. I have heard they are amazing! We luckily get Disney AP discounts and travel during non-peak times to afford the Disney resorts. It definitely takes some serious budgeting, though 🤪
I think it depends on how many of the theme parks you plan to visit. I personally would want 2 days to explore the resort with my kids to really enjoy everything they have to offer. So if you do all 4 parks then I would plan for 6 days to really have a relaxing vacation. 💕 But I will also say we have spent a quick weekend at this resort and it’s been magical so however you are able to do it will be super fun! 🤩
I love Sanaa and have been at least ten times. I was considering Boma next trip but after watching this I am pretty sure Sanaa is better for us atmposphere and food wise but I think I might want to check out Victoria Falls lounge before or after our time at Sanaa.
I'm so glad I could help out!! I LOVE Sanaa. It is so delicious. And honestly, the food at Boma is really good too if you like buffet style food. But either way, every time I've been it's been very loud so we just like the vibe of Sanaa better. Thanks for checking out our video and sharing! I hope you have a magical trip ✨💜
Awe thank you so much! That means a lot. We appreciate you watching and sharing. If you ever have questions, feel free to comment and we will be happy to help! 💜
Yes, I completely agree!! This resort would probably be my #1 if the theme park transportation would be better. I understand why it is this way but during busy times the buses just aren't convenient.

The link you supplied only repeats the same thing without seeing any of the rooms.

My wife and I stayed at Jambo house last weekend in a savanna view and loved it. Can't wait to go back.
Oh that's amazing!! That sounds like such a fun trip. Hope you make it back really soon!! 💜
@@MagicalResortsGuide Yeah we will be at Riviera next month for Memorial day.

How many nights minimum would you recommend with 2 kids 6 and 8 at this property?

118 days and counting. AKL is the best!
How exciting!!! It really is an amazing resort. I hope y’all have the best trip! 🎉
They need to bring more transportation to Animal Kingdom Lodge, like they have for the Grand ( name?) hotel.
Yes, I completely agree!! This resort would probably be my #1 if the theme park transportation would be better. I understand why it is this way but during busy times the buses just aren't convenient.
