Hi, Janis, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you've found us so we can help you plan your trip to make it practically perfect in every way. It sounds like you could use some help getting started with your
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel reservations, so let's take a look.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is truly one of the most unique Disney resorts. Where else can you watch giraffes from your hotel room balcony? It's also home to the most interesting (in the best way) buffet I've ever seen,
Boma - Flavors of Africa. It features African-inspired and traditional dishes that are familiar enough that even the pickiest of eaters can find foods to love. I think it's worth eating there both for breakfast and dinner, it's so good. Be sure to try the zebra domes. Yum!
The best way to get Disney resort pricing is from the
Walt Disney World website. Simply put in your dates, add the number of people on your reservation and select Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Then, click "View Rates." You can also modify your search, playing with the dates until you're happy with your search and you're ready to complete the reservation. I also like to take a look at the
special offers page to see if there are any discounts I qualify for. I couldn't help but notice some really attractive offers that coincide with your arrival date, so I encourage you to take a look.
Janis, I hope this has been helpful and that it points you in the right direction so you can get your trip planning started. If you have any other questions, please bring them back to us here at planDisney.
Have a magical trip!
Melanie
