Jambo, Gail! I'm so happy to welcome you to planDisney, and I absolutely LOVE that you're planning a multi-generational vacation! There's something so special about traveling with family across different generations. My family frequently takes these kinds of trips, and we always walk away with hearts full of joy and so many cherished memories. There's nothing quite like watching the magic unfold through the eyes of both the young and the young at heart.
Choosing a villa for your family is an excellent decision, especially when traveling with a larger group or multiple generations. Villas provide plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax while still enjoying the convenience of being together. The extra space, including a kitchen and shared living areas, makes it easy to share meals and enjoy quality time together.
Animal Kingdom Lodge is an absolutely incredible choice. Not only will you get to experience the unique and immersive atmosphere inspired by African culture, but you'll also have the opportunity to spot exotic animals right from your balcony.
For your party size,
two different villa options at Animal Kingdom Lodge would work well for you: a 2-Bedroom Villa or a 3-Bedroom Grand Villa.
A 2-Bedroom Villa typically sleeps up to nine Guests and includes a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area, and a spacious living room. You'll find a master bedroom with a king-size bed, a second bedroom with two queen beds, and a sleeper sofa and chair in the living room. You'll also have the convenience of 3 full-size bathrooms, a washer and dryer, and a balcony.
If you need even more space, the 3-Bedroom Grand Villa is an excellent choice, accommodating up to 12 Guests. It includes a master bedroom with a king-size bed, two additional bedrooms each with two queen-size beds, and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room. The Grand Villa also features four full-size bathrooms, a full kitchen, living and dining areas, a washer and dryer, and a balcony.
These room options are available at both Animal Kingdom Lodge - Jambo House, as well as
Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village. Both options provide access to all the wonderful
amenities Animal Kingdom Lodge has to offer, including the
stunning pool areas and incredible
dining options like Boma and Sanaa.
As a Guest staying at a Disney Resort, you'll enjoy a variety of
incredible benefits, like
complimentary transportation, having the ability to purchase your
Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days before your arrival, and in 2025, you'll even receive
free water park entry on check-in day, adding an extra splash of fun to the beginning of your vacation!
Gail, I hope this information has been helpful! If you have any other questions on multi-generational Disney World vacations or just need more tips, I'm all ears!
Have a WILD time!
