Jambo Sharon!
Welcome to planDisney, and thank you for stopping by to ask us this question! I love Resort hopping and trying different Disney Resort hotels, so I am so excited that you will visit
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, one of my favourites. With all the unique amenities and offerings available at Disney Resort hotels, they can be just as magical as the theme parks!
I am happy to say that Bell Services will gladly transfer your luggage from
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge as a complimentary service. Indeed, all you have to do is stop by Bell Services on the day you check out of your room at All-Star Sports and ask for your luggage to be transferred to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. You will be given a ticket, and you will be able to give this ticket to Bell Services at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge upon arrival. Personally, I love handing them my luggage before going to the theme parks as it gives them plenty of time to get my luggage to my new Resort. You can even ask Bell Services to bring your luggage to your room for you! Bell Services Cast Members truly are real-life magic makers.
Although the theme parks are incredibly exciting, I hope you will also be able to spend some time at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge to appreciate all the amazing offerings available. I always love eating at some of its restaurants, such as
Boma - Flavors of Africa and
Sanaa. Indeed, both restaurants are known among Walt Disney World fans for being delicious, and I highly recommend that you try them if you have the chance. Besides, what could be more magical than getting The Lion King waffles at Boma - Flavors of Africa for breakfast? Then, check out the animal viewing areas at the back of the Resort, as you can see some of your favourite animals from the
Kilimanjaro Safaris. For a truly magical experience, I recommend going to see them at night as they are typically more active later in the evening. Lastly, make sure to try some of the Resort's famous Zebra Domes for dessert. I always feel that no trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge without breakfast Zebra Domes!
I hope this was helpful, Sharon, and that you and your fellow wilderness explorers will have the best day ever on your next Disney vacation. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your holiday, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are always happy to help make your stay as worry-free as Hakuna Matata!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
