Jambo, Tricia!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I love that you are planning to visit my favorite Resort on all of the property!
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas was our "first" Disney home, and we couldn't love it more! From the animal Cast Members to the best food on property (order the Bread Service at
Sanaa), many things put it on our "favorite hotel list."
As you already know, the Resort is undergoing extensive renovations. Mickey & Co. decided it was time for the animals to receive an upgraded view! Work is progressing magically, but recently, we've all had a bit of a "
Stitch" in our plans. By the time you arrive in October, you should have a beautiful new room, but I can't promise that you won't still see a bit of evidence of Simba and
Pumbaa's continued work. As long as the
Villas are available for your desired week when you log in to
disneyvacationclub.com, you are good to go! (If the rooms were closed, you wouldn't have the option of booking).
Tricia, while you are at
the Resort, take advantage of the fantastic
Animal Specialists out on the savanna. Every time we stay, we lEARn something new about our
animal friends! One of our favorite ways to view them is via night-vision goggles in the evening. It's super fun to watch the zebras and gazelles and
giraffes do their thing at night! If you have any other questions, you know where to find us!
Asante Sana!
