Jambo, Leisa!
Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to
Disney World! Get ready for the most MAGICAL adventure filled with laughter, churros, and memories that sparkle brighter than
Cinderella Castle at night. Whether you’re soaring with
Peter Pan, racing through
Space Mountain, or meeting your favorite Disney characters, every moment is pure joy waiting to happen.
Oh, you are in for such a treat because
Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of the most breathtaking resorts at Disney World. The moment you step into that grand wood-carved lobby and catch a glimpse of the savanna outside, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported halfway around the world.
So, are you ready for some TIGGER-ific news? I am very excited to share that if you arrive before check-in time, you can absolutely store your bags and enjoy the resort, including the pools, right away! Just head to Bell Services, and the friendly Cast Members will gladly store your luggage for you while you start your adventure. They’ll tag your bags, keep them safe, and give you a claim ticket so you can pick them up later when your room is ready. From there, you’re free to splash into the
Uzima Springs Pool at
Jambo House or the Samawati Springs Pool at
Kidani Village. Both are beautiful, with zero-entry access, waterslides, and plenty of lounge chairs tucked under the shade of palm trees.
You can also grab lunch at
The Mara or stroll over to the savanna overlooks to spot giraffes and zebras wandering by. Your room will typically be ready sometime after 3:00 p.m., but your vacation fun doesn’t have to wait until then. Just make sure you pack a swimsuit and a change of clothes in your day bag so you can dive right in without digging through your luggage later.
As you continue to plan, make sure you check out the
Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information regarding all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some incredible surprises planned, and we don't want you to miss any of the fun!
If you have other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
