Hi Celeste, and thanks for coming back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with another great question!
When you say you are taking a van from Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge to
Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show, do you mean
Disney's Minnie Van Service? I love the convenience of the Minnie Van Service, particularly when traveling from one resort to another resort. I hope you will find it useful as well!
The drop-off point for Disney's Minnie Van Service at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park is towards the back of the bus loops at the edge of Cast Member Parking. You might actually be dropped off closer to the entrance of the park if you use Walt Disney World Bus Transportation. Once you are inside the park, the walk to
Tusker House Restaurant is a bit of a hike. I believe the food and the experience at Tusker House are well worth the walk, but if you are having trouble with mobility you may want to rent an ECV.
Be sure to let us know if you have more questions we can help you with!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Amy H.
