  • It's time for another Mammoth Club staycation -- and this one is getting WILD!

AND the nighttime Starlight Safari. PLUS check out a full room tour of a 1 bedroom savanna room villa.

    Im so impressed with Alan’s ability to describe flavors and textures of food. It’s like because he’s color blind his sense of taste makes up for it.

    Hearing Alan describe a giraffe as a potato on toothpicks was the best thing about this video, tbh💜💜🤣🤣

    Molly and Alan, I think it’s really great of you both to be so considerate of other guests in Jiko. Other vloggers I’ve watched in nicer dining atmospheres its so very obvious the people in the background are uncomfortable with being filmed. Keep up the good work, love y’all!

    AKL was the best resort experience I’ve ever had! Waking up to the beautiful view of animals, the delicious food, the beautiful lobby, art and Christmas decor. It’s a magical experience and I dream of going back every day

    I just got back to London from a 10 night stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and it was by far my favourite Disney Resort! So beautiful in every day, and I got lucky I got upgraded to a Savannah room for free!

  • @lauralittle6021
    @lauralittle6021 Год назад +1

    My husband and I stayed in a savannah view room on our honeymoon and it was one of the best parts of our trip! We bought one of the hand carved stautes of two giraffes with their necks intertwined and its one of our favourite souvenirs, we have it on our mantelpiece almost 5 years later. Thank you for doing such a brilliant job showing off this spectacular resort ❤

  • @PrincessMeggala0913
    @PrincessMeggala0913 Год назад +4

    I can't believe Molly hasn't done a video at Busch Gardens Tampa. you can pay like 40 bucks and hand feed the Giraffes on the Safari tour and the hyenas are usually sitting in the shade 2 feet from the glass that seperates us from them

How you journey and explain to your audience in detail what you’re seeing, feeling, touching, tasting is amazing!!! Thank you! I love giraffes 😊and hope my mini me and I will take the journey over to AK lodge for a hotel day ❤

    I love Alan and Molly together for a video. It is good to see an uplifting video of my favorite hotel. Jiko is the BEST! I love coffee on the balcony watching giraffes and zebras. I like the animal viewing from Kidana and i love the pool at Kidani. But Now, I want to stay at Jambo on my next trip. Once i am on the bus, i can relax and not worry if it takes 5 minutes or 15 to get to MK.
    THANKS

    I could smell it when you walked! Precious memories have been made here for my family! Boma breakfast has become a tradition when we cruise! Well… It’s only been twice, but that’s a tradition right? Thoroughly enjoy these all of these.❤️

  • @chaseforliberty
    @chaseforliberty Год назад +3

    I stayed here during my last visit to Disney and loved it.
    Jiko wasn't open at the time, so I missed out there, but the other restaurants at the resort was amazing. Boma is the best breakfast in Disney.

  • @MicheleKlinger
    @MicheleKlinger Год назад +1

    AKL is absolutely gorgeous!!! I visited for the first time this past February and I was in awe of the resort itself and the animals, plus Boma was mind blowingly good. Hopefully I get to stay there one day.

    Molly, just wanted to let you know how happy I am for you. I decided to not initially comment on your situation when you first transitioned to doing your own thing and working for yourself on your own channel. And though it's been a minute since all that happened, watching your video today made me smile. I was smiling because how happy you seem to be now. It definitely shows. Keep up the good work...oh and Arron, uh good job

    You both are incredible, each one of you brings a specific vibe to the table, which elevates our experience as your viewers. I've consumed a huge amount of your content the past couple of days, and not only I've found myself entertained, but got amazed by how informative and smart your comments, advices, tips are. I've been looking into this resort with interest, as I'm living far from the US, I kind of want the best experience possible for me and my family. However I also am a bit anxious, cause zoos tend to be an excruciating experience for me. Anyway, now at least I know what to expect, the good and the bad, thanks to you! you two rock and are marvelous entertainers!

  • @Lzrd1515

    My mom and I were so excited that you did another Boma review! We booked it for our trip on the 14th because of your other Boma video! It was nice to get a more recent experience review. 🙂
    I'd love to see Old Key West and Saratoga Springs! Especially since they're multi-stop bus focused resorts, I'd love to see you guys time how long it's taking on each bus trip.
    Thanks for another awesome and entertaining video!

    @danielvernon8136 Год назад +4

    Molly and Alan, on the topics of safari’s you should do a video about “The Wilds” near Columbus, OH if you’re ever up that way. They have a tour where you go around in the back of a pick-up truck with a keeper. You get to pet/feed giraffes, feed rhinos, feed camels. It was a wonderful experience that would be a great addition to your channel. They also have yurts that you can spend the night in and wake up to a beautiful view of animals.

    Stayed at AKL for the first time in February and it is now my favorite hotel! It was so fun to walk around during our resort day and take in all the gorgeous work! It truly is breathtaking when you first walk into the lobby. We had a standard room and faced a small savannah where we still had animals to wake up to and chill out with every day. Since it was smaller we named the animals and it was so fun to wake up and say good morning to our new furry and feathered friends. 😊 The Lion King obsessed 6 year old in me was absolutely bouncing off the walls and I haven't stayed at a hotel in Disney that made me truly happy all the time like AKL. And the food can't be beat! Get the breakfast bread pudding at Boma! I swear it's the best in Disney.
