Hey, Harley! Welcome to planDisney.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is such a magical resort. It was actually the first place I stayed when I visited Walt Disney World Resort. So it holds extra special memories for me. The majestic lobby, fascinating theming, amazing restaurants, luxurious comfort, and African wildlife all combine to make it a dream resort. When it comes to dining, the famous bread service at
Sanaa is an experience not to be missed and
Jiko - The Cooking Place is one of the best restaurants on property. Here's a tip: Ask about the free culinary tours on offer.
But "let's get down to business." Unfortunately, Harley, the pools at each Disney hotel are reserved exclusively for the Guests staying at that particular hotel. Therefore, unless the person you have in mind is staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, they won't be able to use the hotel pool, I'm afraid. I know that's not the answer you wanted to hear, Harley. However, this policy actually prevents these pools from getting overcrowded and makes for a better experience for hotel Guests. It's one of the reasons you'll be able to really enjoy the pool at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. I've spent many wonderful days by this pool. It's one of my favorites on property.
Have a great trip, Harley. Thanks for stopping by planDisney.
