Hi, there!
Mari, I'm so excited to hear you're planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation. With so many new and exciting experiences coming to the theme parks,
now more than ever is the time to visit!
You are going to just love staying at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. It's one of my very favorite Disney Resort hotels! The beautiful architecture, fascinating collections of African art, and spectacular views of the savannas make Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge truly one-of-a-kind. This unique Resort hotel also offers incredible recreational activities! One of the unique offerings is the String of Memories. For each specified cultural, wildlife, or conservation activity you participate in, you receive a bead that can be placed on a string, making a beautiful and free souvenir to remind you of the wild adventures you had at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. There are eight designated bead activities listed on the Recreation Calendar. Most of the activities are offered on a daily basis and range in schedule from morning to late afternoon. You don't have to worry about the bead activities being discontinued during peak travel seasons. In fact, my family stayed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge in the summer a few years ago, and my sons had the best time creating their Strings of Memories!
When you check-in, you'll be given a June Recreation Calendar that will list each bead activity's schedule. If you'd like to see the schedule prior to your visit, though, simply type "Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Recreation Calendar" into an internet search engine in early June. You should be able to view the current offerings at that time from an unofficial Disney planning website!
I hope this was helpful, Mari. Please visit us again soon!
