    I have booked a 7 night stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge along with a 14 day magic ticket. I’m just wondering if I am able to amend the start date of my magic ticket? Hoping to move it so my ticket starts before my hotel stay.

    Welcome to planDisney, Hayley. Thanks for reaching out to us with your question!

    Plans change, especially when you are planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation pretty far in advance. You can typically make changes to your vacation package by calling a friendly Cast Member at the resort. You may want to consult the Vacation Package Terms & Conditions to ensure you know the changes you're entitled to make and when you must make them.

    You also may be able to make these changes online. To find out if you can, log into your MyDisney account, click on "My Plans" from the My Disney Experience dropdown menu, scroll down until you see your reservation, and click the "Modify Reservation" link if available. If it's not there or you can't make changes yourself, a Cast Member would be happy to help you!

    Now that that's out of the way, let's chat a bit about your choice of Disney Resorts Collection Hotel. While I've stayed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village before, I have never stayed at the main building of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, which is called Jambo House. But that's all going to change this November. I cannot wait! This is one of my favorite resorts on property, and it has probably the best dining options of all the resort hotels. There are both adventurous and familiar options at each of these restaurants, and the resort in general, has such a unique atmosphere. Did you know that this resort has the largest collection of African art outside of the African continent itself? I especially love the 16-foot-tall Igbo Ijele mask in the lobby. It's hard to believe it's a mask, but it is...and it's exquisite! My friend Michele and I enjoy admiring it on a visit this past summer, reading about it, and discussing the details.

    Hayley, best wishes for planning your Disney escape, and please feel free to reach out with any other questions!

    To get lost is to learn the way,
