Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge | Walt Disney World, Orlando | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Walt Disney World, Orlando

5 stars

The adventure of a jungle safari comes alive right before your eyes at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. With lush surroundings and beautiful savannahs, you'll be transported to another world when you step through the front doors. From restaurants, viewing platforms, and possibly even your room, you can watch zebra, giraffes and gazelles roam free and graze in their natural environments. Little ones can learn more about the fascinating animals, and even be a junior researcher for a day. And when you're not watching the animals in awe, you can take a dip in one of the pools, feast on some good food, or hit the parks in a matter of minutes! The adventure never ends here.

“Neat place but cold pool”

Nov 19, 2025Kelly L

We stayed at the Jambo House (the main lodge), it is well themed, the music is constant, and the food is fine. The pool was open but the heater was broken for our entire 3 night stay. This was not shared with us at check-in as we would have considered staying somewhere else based on the cost of the room. We found a 65 degree pool when we went to check it out. When I inquired at the front desk after visiting the pool, we were told we could visit the pool in the adjoining village area which means a bus ride. There seemed to be no urgency on getting the pool heated and we were told the "part was ordered." The information about the pool should have been disclosed. When booking the hotel there were notes posted about construction and possibly the pool being out in the Village, not Jambo House. I get things happen but the non-disclosure and lack empathy was frustrating. We traveled from the cold and enjoy swimming after park days. The rooms are nice and seeing animals grazing out your patio is a cool experience. The bus service to the parks is good. However, next time we will likely stay somewhere.

“Overall the experience wasn't terrible... just drastically overpriced with too few benefits.”

We usually stay at the Drury when we go to WDW, but we thought we would splurge on the Animal Kingdom Lodge Jamba house. We regret it. Pros: Disney resort transport Rooms were clean Maid service was good Fridge in room We saw a giraffe Cons: Ridiculous food costs Huge resort = long walks to any amenities Poor beds Small rooms No microwave Drums. Incessant drums playing over speakers...over the TV guide....everywhere Disney resort transport can't easily get you to Disney Springs Overall the experience wasn't terrible... just drastically overpriced with too few benefits.

“Great Disney hotel”
