    We will be in Disney World from 4/6-4/10 and staying at Jambo house. Unfortunately we discovered that the Wildlife Express Train will be unavailable and the animal extras, tours are all unavailable as well. Do you have any suggestions?

    Hello Agnes! First, you’ve made a great selection by choosing Animal Kingdom Lodge! You are going to have such a unique experience staying at this deluxe Disney World hotel! From the flamingoes and giraffes to the huge pool and delicious dining options, Animal Kingdom Lodge is the perfect choice! Agnes, keep in mind that as a Guest of a deluxe Disney World hotel, you get to enjoy the Extended Evening Theme Park Hours benefit! This special perk for Guests of deluxe hotels allows you to stay in select theme parks, on select nights, throughout the year, for up to two additional hours after the park closes to other Guests! It’s one of my favorite things about staying in a deluxe resort hotel at Disney World!

    Now, as my friends Timon and Pumbaa like to say, “hakuna matata” (it means “no worries”)! I have an excellent suggestion that will add a little extra magic to your upcoming vacation! I encourage you to look at Starlight Safari! This is a nighttime drive through Disney’s African savannas aboard safari vehicles! Guests are provided with night-vision viewing devices to see over 30 species of animals in their habitats! 

    Starlight Safari is a popular experience at Disney World! It is strongly recommended that you make advanced reservations. Guests must be 8 years of age or older to experience Starlight Safari. Current pricing ranges from $89 to $99 per person (tax not included). Please note prices are subject to change. Your safari experience lasts approximately one hour and will become a favorite family memory for your next Disney World vacation!

    Dreams do come true!
