The Animal Kingdom Lodge is what prompted us to buy DVC points. We stayed when our kids were little and fell in love with the place. Our kids are in their 20s now.
We stayed at Kidani Village twice. Once with that amazing savanna view. The parking is closer if you can find a good spot. We like the laid-back feel of it, but it would be nice to have a quick service like The Mara on property. Still, we didn't mind the adventure of traveling next door for Boma!
You can't really go wrong with Jambo House or Kadani Villiage at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge! They are both great...hope your truck issues resolve & you have a great week Marvin!
@AdventureIsOutThere I agree. Either one is amazing. It's the best resort on property and perhaps the world. To wake up in the morning, look out the window, and see a giraffe looking back at you is a special, unique experience you can't find practically anywhere else. And the food places are top notch on property, too. Haven't done Jiko or Sanaa, but I've heard good things. Mara was great, and Boma is my favorite.
We were there this May..it was an amazing experience. We did both Jiko and Boma when were there. Jiko is pricey, but it was one of best dining experiences I've ever had. Everything from the service to the absolute delicious food. But so glad you got to enjoy your trip there with family. It was a great experience.
I know I’m commenting a year after upload, but I’d like to recommend Jiko! Yes it’s upscale and more pricey than Boma, but it’s an amazing place to experience wines from South Africa, and the service is some of the best that I’ve had on property! My wife got the venison and cleaned her plate 😋
Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of my favorites, especially Savannah view and many wonderful memories in that wonderful pool...and lets not talk about the fabulous restaurants.
While I was finishing editing this Micah came in sat in my office and was watching saying "oh yeah...I really like this place". We are currently trying to stay at every one of the DVC resorts with our points, though I definitely see us circling back to this one once we have!
Cool video of Animal Kingdom Lodge. We went over there years ago and checked the place out. We didn't eat at any place there so we need to go back and eat at one of the restaurants there. It's a cool resort. Similar to Wilderness Lodge which I absolutely love.
Great video, thank you! We stayed on the Jambo side last year (only for one night though). And we just had our trip moved over from SSR to AKL on the Kidani side for next month, so I am doing all of the research I can. So, thank you for all of the information and honest opinions! I can't wait to check out the pools on this trip.
We have not stayed at Animal Kingdom, but visited the resort. We loved sitting and watching the animals for time. We went to all the Disney Lodges during a Christmas season. Even the Animal Kingdom Lodge had unique Christmas decor. Beautiful lodge. Thanks for the video Ryan and Brie.
It's expensive. Animal Kingdom Lodge is DVC/deluxe level. It can range from around 450 a night and up, but you can get excellent discounts if you watch, or you can rent dvc points!
We used our DVC points to stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. They have rates on their website: disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/animal-kingdom-lodge/
@@janasheets890Yes, renting DVC points is a good option. Usually cheaper than booking traditionally. But, it pays to double-check both rates for the dates you are planning to go.
Just about every company is these days. You have to live in a cave & grow your own food to not have to support one. It’s an issue of individual liberty.
@AdventureIsOutThere I was going to reply exactly what you did. You took the words out of my mouth. It's what you make of it and I pray people are strong enough in their faith that a brand or companies agenda or opinions doesn't sway their personal beliefs.
Animal Kingdom is my favorite park. I'm an animal lover. I have never had the opportunity to stay on site. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure Renee! We hope it helps others planning a trip to Disney World better know what Animal Kingdom Lodge is like!

👍
You got a view of where the animals shift on and off exhibit each day! That is so cool! Sure view of all there is out on the savanna.
Can’t wait! Going next Saturday for a week!!
i was thrilled to see you do this video. I've always said if we were ever to do a Disney resort, it would be at Animal Kingdom Thanks
Our pleasure Marc! We hope it helps others trying to decide between Jambo House or Kidani Village!

As they say...."welcome Home"😊 Glad you're back at the Dis!
This was from FEB, I am just trying to get caught up with editing 😆. I should have our Aulani footage up must faster when we go there next month!
Oh I see!! It's such a beautiful resort. Hope to stay someday. Have a wonderful Aulani trip. 🙂🙂

@AdventureIsOutThere there are new ones since I've been but I've stayed at 5 of them. AKL definitely my favorite.
Oooh I’ve always wanted to go there.
Hopefully some day!

Thanks TCD! We love wilderness lodge too! We are excited to explore their resort in Hawaii next month!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Who's Jim? LOL!
@@thecoolestdad Typo! 🤦♂️
@@AdventureIsOutThere I knew it was. LOL. I thought maybe you were referring to James T (Jim) Kirk. LOL!
Thank you for sharing this information! Beautiful places to enjoy! God bless you ❤❤❤
Our pleasure Sweet T! We hopes it helps others researching Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Awesome review and walk around
Thanks Mark!
We would’ve loved to have run into you at Disney. We are DVC Member‘s and Kidani village is our home resort.
It's one of our home resorts too, we will definitely be back! Super excited to be going to Aluani later this week (will be filming there)!
My family is going to stay at AKL this year!! We can’t wait, great video!
Thanks Tina, hope you have a wonderful time!

Thanks Disney Cable Magic! Hope you have a great time on your next trip here!
I’d love to go here
That looks amazing! I am going to look into what might be the most affordable month to try this place out 🦒🦓
We really love staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge!
@@AdventureIsOutThere from what I can tell it’s about $500. a night !
So fun!! My goal is to try staying in Animal Kingdom next trip!
Hopefully you can someday!
nice. Would love to stay here some day.
👍
I want to go there
Have you been to the caves? How do you get there? I'll only be staying at this hotel for one day in October. Will I have time to go?
We have not stayed at Animal Kingdom, but visited the resort. We loved sitting and watching the animals for time. We went to all the Disney Lodges during a Christmas season. Even the Animal Kingdom Lodge had unique Christmas decor. Beautiful lodge. Thanks for the video Ryan and Brie.
It's a great resort! We will be uploading some Auani (Disney Hawaii resort)videos soon!
Jiko, not Jinko
y’all must be rich omg

I shocked as a religious family you continue to support anti Christian anti family Disney.
pls quit going to disney, they are woke
Just about every company is these days. You have to live in a cave & grow your own food to not have to support one. It’s an issue of individual liberty.
@@AdventureIsOutThereat least other woke companies aren’t blatantly trying to indoctrinate children

Both are beautiful, this was a great adventure🥰 thanks for sharing God Bless🙏🏾😇
