    Is there valet parking at animal kingdom lodge when we drive there for dinner?

    Jambo, Ali!

    Thank you for stopping by planDisney with your parking question.  Oh, what an adventure you have ahead—dining at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is truly a fantastic experience! My family absolutely loves watching the majestic giraffes, playful zebras, and our personal favorite—the elusive okapi—roam the savanna. And let’s not forget the feast fit for a king (or lion!) at the Lodge’s incredible restaurants. Whether you’re indulging in the flavors of Jiko – The Cooking Place at Jambo House, enjoying the stunning savanna views from Sanaa at Kidani Village, or feasting on the incredible buffet at Boma, you’re in for a real treat! you’re in for a real treat!

    Now, let’s pounce right into your question! You’ll be happy to know that both complimentary self-parking and valet parking are available when dining at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Just keep in mind that valet parking does come with an additional charge—currently $42 per night (plus tax), though prices are subject to change.

    One last wild suggestion—if you have time after your dinner reservation, you might want to consider the Starlight Safari at Animal Kingdom Lodge! Typically offered at 8:30 PM and 10:00 PM (times subject to change), this after-dark adventure lets you see the animals in a whole new light—literally! It’s an incredible way to wrap up an unforgettable evening.

    Ali, I hope this helps answer your question! If you have any more, don’t hesitate to visit us again.

    See you real soon,
