Welcome to planDisney, Bart!
You're in for a wild adventure at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge! This resort immerses you in the heart of Africa, offering stunning views of exotic animals like giraffes and zebras right from your balcony. Everything about this place, from the rich cultural theming, to the authentic cuisine at
Boma - Flavors of Africa and
Jiko - The Cooking Place, to the serene
Uzima Springs Pool makes it a destination in itself. It was the very first Disney Resort hotel I stayed at, and so it has a very special place in my heart.
During your stay, you can take advantage of
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours, which is a perk for Guests at Deluxe Resorts like Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Since we're a few months out, the schedule has yet to be released for Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. Typically, though, this perk is available at EPCOT on Mondays and Magic Kingdom Park on Wednesdays. However, this is always subject to change. Sometimes, special events, like
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, can bring about changes to the schedule. In just over a month's time, you should be able to see
the schedule for early September.
A handy tip: During these Extended Evening Hours, popular rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom often have shorter lines. It's an excellent opportunity to experience these attractions with less wait. In fact, it's my favorite time to be in a Disney park!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney, Bart! See ya real soon.
Mike
