Hi, Jeannine!
Dinner at Boma sounds fantastic! Allow some time before or after your meal to explore the beautiful Animal Kingdom Lodge. It is truly one of a kind.
Plan to be at the bus stop at the Animal Kingdom about 6:50 p.m. The bus ride to the resort is about 15-20 minutes, plus allow wait time for the bus. This will give you time to get to your destination and check-in for your delicious dinner.
After dinner, hop on a bus to
Disney Springs. Once there, you can transfer buses to the French Quarter. Or, if you have the time and energy, take time to enjoy some shopping and nightlife in Disney Springs. Make sure to stop by the new Disney TAG store in the
Co-Op. It is my new favorite store with super fun travel items such as luggage tags, travel bags, and more.
Your other option once at Disney Springs is to take the fun boat ride back to your resort. The boat launch is near the Rainforest Café. Taking the boat might take a bit longer, but hey, you are on vacation! Enjoy a little pleasure cruise!
It sounds like you have an amazing night planned, I hope you have a great time!
Cathy
