    Morning! We’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge in a couple of weeks and are planning to visit a couple of other resorts to go for a run. Will we be able to use their pool shower facilities so we can go straight to the parks afterwards? Thank you!

    Hi Rachel!

    By staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, I feel that you’ve hit the jackpot of Disney Resort magic! There’s nothing like waking up to the sight of giraffes and zebras just outside your window, feeling like you’re on an African savanna right in the heart of Florida. The beauty of this resort is truly unmatched, with its breathtaking lobby, warm wood accents, and the calming sounds of the Uzima Springs Pool.

    Speaking of pools, after a long day of adventure, you might want to relax at one of the pools or treat yourself to an incredible meal at Boma – Flavors of Africa. The buffet there is a dream, with fresh, vibrant dishes inspired by African cuisine, perfect for refueling after a morning jog or a fun day in the Theme Parks.

    Now, hats off to you for keeping up your running routine while on vacation! I admire your dedication—talk about being a real-life Disney hero! As for using pool shower facilities at other Disney Resort hotels, here’s the scoop: those facilities are generally reserved for Guests staying at that particular resort. Many of them require a room key or MagicBand+ for access, so you might find yourself sprinting back to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to freshen up after your run.

    But don’t let that slow you down! Think of it as a cool-down walk before diving into a day of theme park fun. With all that extra cardio, you’ll be ready to tackle Expedition Everest or take flight on Avatar Flight of Passage like a champ.

    Wishing you a run-tastic time on your Disney adventure! Keep that pace up, and may your trip be as magical as the savanna sunrise.
