Jambo, Sarah! I'm so glad you're here with another great question!
Since you're staying at the incredible
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge (one of my very favorite Disney Resort Hotels) and already know about some of the rules designed to keep the animals safe, your planning is off to a roaring start. And since a colorful Disney balloon is a MUST on a Walt Disney World vacation, let's chat about how you can save your balloon while staying at your Resort.
I just spoke with a helpful Cast Member who assured me that you will be able to bring your balloon on the Resort bus and bring it to your vehicle for safekeeping once you arrive at Animal Kingdom Lodge. You won't be allowed to bring your balloon to your room, so just be sure to bring your car key with you to the park.
At the end of your magical and fun-filled day at Magic Kingdom, if you're too tired to walk to your vehicle or if you forget your car key, Hakuna Matata. It means "no worries!" Just ask
Bell Services to store your balloon for you until you're ready to bring your balloon to a park (except Animal Kingdom) or head to your car.
When you arrive at Animal Kingdom Lodge, be sure to snap a photo of the Activities board posted near the lobby and/or the pool to always have easy access to the list of activities and schedules. There are so many
amazing animal-centric activities that you can have an unforgettable vacation without even leaving the Resort! And of course, you can't forget to snap some photos in front of the breathtaking Christmas tree. You're in for such an amazing time, Sarah, and I couldn't be more excited for you.
I hope this helps, Sarah! Please feel free to stop by any time with any planning questions you may have along your planning journey.
Wishing you a wild adventure!
Mandy
