Jambo Bonnie!
I’m so excited to hear that you will soon be staying at
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge while visiting
Walt Disney World. My family and I have stayed at both Jambo House and Kidani Village several times, and it is absolutely amazing. There is nothing like waking up in the morning, stepping out onto the balcony, and seeing all of the animals roaming the Savannah while drinking your morning coffee. My kids especially enjoy watching the animals chase and play in their natural habitat. Luckily, we won’t have to go on a safari to get your answer.
I see you would like to know if you can purchase groceries at Jambo House.
Zawadi Marketplace is in the main lobby, where you can find a mix of groceries. You should find items like milk, bread, eggs, sandwich meats, cereal, chips, sodas, snacks, frozen meals, and juices, to name just a few. We felt this selection could accommodate our needs when we wanted to make a meal in our room.
There are a couple of other options you may be able to explore if this does not fulfill your needs. If you are a
Disney Vacation Club member, you can pre-order groceries using the Disney Vacation Club website. To find the order form, log into your account, go to the Animal Kingdom Lodge page, and scroll down to the bottom, where you will see a picture that says Grocery Orders. From there, you can submit your order. Although I’m a DVC member, I haven't used this service yet, but I bet it’s fantastic. The other option would be to use a 3rd-party grocery delivery service, where you can pre-order online and schedule delivery. Please be aware that there is a small delivery fee for items received at the front desk or your room.
Be sure to check the daily activities schedule at the front desk for the most up-to-date offerings. There are so many things available, such as crafts, games, movies, and more. I highly recommend the campfire activity where you can roast marshmallows. It’s so much fun!
Bonnie, I hope you and your family have a magical time seeing all the amazing animals and enjoying your stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Kwaheri!
