Our "Home" away from Home

Animal Kingdom Lodge made our week and a half at Disney World our home away from home! The kids LOVED it here, they would wake up every morning and run out on the balcony to see which animal was out in the Savanna. The room was nice and spacious and the kids loved the bunk beds.

The next two pictures were the view from our balcony.

The inside of the lodge was a bit dark, but I found it to be very quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. Inside the lobby, there was a large fireplace with a lot of areas to lounge and take in the African ambiance.

This is a picture of the lobby area. I should have taken a picture of it during the day because this picture just doesn't do the lobby justice.

Every night at the Lodge at 7:30, there was a parade that the kids could be a part of. They were able to pick their African instrument and they would march around the lobby singing and playing!



Everyone LOVED staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge, but Brandon and I have talked that we would like to try the Wilderness Lodge sometime just to compare. The bunk bed rooms were a wonderful perk, the other resorts we have stayed at in the past didn't have rooms like that. Every day when we would return to the hotel I could always expect that a Cast Member will be standing outside with a big smile on his or her face and saying to us "Welcome Home!"
