Jambo, David! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for stopping by with your question!
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of my favorite resorts and I am actually heading there again soon! There are so many beautiful spots at this resort, especially along the savanna. Be sure to take some time to wander out to Arusha Rock and Pembe Overlooks to chat with a guide about the animals that live out on the savanna at the Lodge. This is my daughters'
favorite activity while at the resort, so we spend a lot of time with these amazing Cast Members learning all about the animals and African culture.
I am happy to let you know that culinary exploration does still go on at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge! The schedule for each activity is subject to change, so please check with Concierge upon your check-in at the resort. Currently, the following are offered:
Cookie Decorating at Boma - Flavors of Africa, 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. daily
Wine Tasting at Jiko - The Cooking Place, 3:30 p.m. each Wednesday
Culinary Tour of Boma - Flavors of Africa and Jiko - The Cooking Place, 4:15 p.m. daily
The Wine Tasting is a paid activity and can be scheduled with Concierge, while the Culinary Tour is a complementary activity for Resort guests and you will meet your guide in the lobby of Jiko - The Cooking Place. I hope this information helps you have a wild adventure during your stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge! Please let us know if you have any other questions!
