    Hi I am unable to book the Animal Kingdom starlight safari on my Disney experience app and when I called the recorded message said bookings were not possible by telephone either. Please can you advise how I can book this? Thank you

    Jambo, Michelle, and welcome to planDisney! Walt Disney World is always a magical adventure, but it sounds like you're ready to up the antler on your next trip! I know that sorting out the details can be a little tricky from across the pond, so let's jump right in and get your plans sorted out.

    Michelle, I'm just wild about Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and all the incredible experiences it has to offer. On a recent stay, my family took some extra time to explore the savannas and even roast some s'mores! What we didn't do (cue my broken-hearted tears) was the Starlight Safari. Unfortunately, this Enchanting Extra is still on my Disney World bucket list, so I hope you'll enjoy it for the both of us! 

    Now to the important part: let's get you booked! To secure your spot, call the Tours and Recreation line to speak with a Disney Cast Member. The hold recording may suggest that you can't book over the phone, but since you're from the UK, be sure to stay on the line to speak directly to a Cast Member. Another option is to use the chat feature in your My Disney Experience app. This will connect you with a Cast Member who can make your reservation for you! Your visit is just around the riverbend, so I recommend snagging your spot as soon as possible.

    Michelle, it's important to fuel up before your big excursion, and fortunately, Animal Kingdom Lodge has some truly fantastic places to eat. If you have the time, be sure to check out Sanaa. This hidden gem is one of my family's favorite Disney World restaurants, thanks to its unique savanna views and incredible bread service!

    I hope this information is helpful, Michelle, and that your upcoming vacation is a wildly good time! If you have any other planning questions, you know where to find me right here at planDisney! I'm always happy to help in any way I can.

    Adventure awaits,

    Allison
