    How would you get back to Animal Kingdom Lodge after a Disney After Hours event at Magic Kingdom? We are staying there and want to go March 17 to after hours event but not sure how to get back to the resort.

    Hi Joe! Welcome to planDisney!

    You've picked my personal favorite Disney Resorts hotel to stay during your trip. Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is a truly fascinating resort, with a grand lobby that is second to none. The commitment made to the theming of this resort helps it stand out against the rest. Not to mention, just walk out back and there is a host of animals wandering the savanna to view at any time during your stay. I can't say enough great things about it. 

    You'll be happy to know that Disney Transportation is available until an hour after the park closes. This will also be the case for Guests attending the After Hours event. Since you are staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge, you'll need to head to the bus depot outside of the entrance to the park and find the bus to your resort. There will be a large sign that will direct you to the correct location along with plenty of Cast Members to ask in case you can't find your way. 

    I'm happy you are taking advantage of Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park. This event allows you to explore the park at night and ride attractions with relatively short wait times. While the event does not begin until 10 PM, you can enter as early as 7 PM to begin your night. This allows you extra time to explore the park and grab a snack or two before heading to the attractions.

    Joe, I hope you have a magical time during your stay! I'll leave you with one last suggestion, make a reservation for Boma - Flavors of Africa! I always recommend dining where you are staying for the convenience, but this restaurant delivers in every way. The food is outstanding, with unique flavors and countless options to choose from.

    See ya real soon!
