Hey, Stephanie! Welcome to planDisney.
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is an amazing hotel! The lobby is awe-inspiring. The food is fantastic. The pool area is relaxing. The décor is beautiful. The cultural learning opportunities are abundant. And where else in America can you have African wildlife outside your room? I love this hotel so much and can't wait to return.
There is bus transportation from
Magic Kingdom Park to
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge up to 1 hour after closing time. Therefore, you'll be able to watch the amazing nighttime spectacular,
Happily Ever After, and have plenty of time to catch a bus back to your resort.
I hope that's helpful, Stephanie. Since you're staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, maybe you can consider experiencing one of the magical tours. I'd certainly recommend
Starlight Safari, which is an after-dark safari tour. You'll be given night vision goggles and a chance to see over 30 species of African wildlife. You could even have dinner at
Sanaa beforehand. The Indian bread service is fantastic!
See ya real soon, Stephanie.
Mike
