Hello James!
Welcome to planDisney! I know many Guests are anxious for
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to reopen. There is something about that gorgeous soaring lobby, the soft sound of drumbeats, the gorgeous African art, and the taste of those famous Zebra Domes, that make this such an amazing resort!
You are correct that the Deluxe Villas are currently able to be booked by
Disney Vacation Club Members, but the remainder of the rooms are still closed. Disney has not made any announcement as to when Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge will reopen. I do wish I had some super magical insider information, but I don’t. We simply have to wait for Disney to make the announcement. On the horizon, Disney’s Beach Club Resort is scheduled to reopen on May 30, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge on June 6. Additionally, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is planned to open in late July.
I would stay tuned to the
Disney Resort Hotel Updates page for updated reopening timelines, and I also find following
Disney Parks Blog and the Walt Disney World Resort on social media is helpful for keeping up with announcements. Here’s to hoping we see more of our Disney favorite resorts and dining locations reopening real soon!
