Hi Mike,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of my favorite Disney Destinations! I love the theming, the tranquility, and of course, the wildlife and fantastic views. And the restaurants! Can I just say
Jiko!
If you’re talking about
Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour, I can share that my family and I took that tour last year and we loved it! I won’t give away any spoilers here, but you are in for a really special experience. I so enjoy Disney history, and learning about
Magic Kingdom park from our Cast Member Guide made for a memorable day.
Mike, you can book your reservation for the tour 180 days in advance, so given you’re arrival date of July 7, you should be able to call for reservations starting Monday, January 8. You can call for reservations at (407) WDW-TOUR or (407) 939-8687.
Have a great stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge and enjoy your Disney's Keys to the Kingdom Tour!
Jerry
