Daniel,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
You are going to love your stay at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. My family and I just returned from a vacation to Walt Disney World, and even though we did not stay there, we made it a point to schedule a dinner at
Sanaa, so that we could explore the resort again. It really combines an exotic theme into a casually elegant home in the magic!
When you take the bus from the Animal Kingdom Lodge to any of the theme parks, you are going to be dropped off at each respective park's bus depot. These are located a short walk from the turnstiles, and you would not need to take a monorail, shuttle, or tram to get to the parks. When I say a short walk, we are talking about less than 1/4 km. You are right there, ready to enter the magic!
BONUS TIPWhen the bus service returns you to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, know that it makes two stops, one at Kidani Village, and another at Jambo House. Make sure you get off at the correct stop so that you don't have to make the walk between the two.
Please feel free to
write me back directly if you have any follow-up questions.
Have a Magical Vacation!
Doug
