Jambo, Vicki!
Welcome to planDisney! I am so excited to hear that you are considering a stay at
Animal Kingdom Lodge. This is one of my Ohana's favorite spots to stay. The savannah views and
great pools make this resort a must-try.
I was able to chat with a friendly Cast Member who let me know that the regular Guest rooms will not be impacted by the refurbishment at Jambo House. The DVC rooms,
including Deluxe Studios, 1 Bedroom Villas, 2 Bedroom Villas, and 3 Bedroom Grand Villas, will be getting a refresh. Yay! Details about the new features have yet to be announced, but if the updates are similar to the recently refurbished
Kidani Village, they may feature the pull-down bed option. Construction is expected to wrap up in January, so we should see some sneak peeks later this year. Be sure to keep an eye on the Disney Parks social accounts for the latest news about this amazing resort!
If you are looking for a great meal without leaving the resort,
check out Boma during your stay. I recently enjoyed dinner here, and the food was delicious. This buffet-style restaurant has a huge variety of flavorful options, giving you the chance to try a variety of unique dishes. Be sure to come hungry!
I hope your upcoming adventure stay is wild!
