Jambo Cheryl!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. You are about to stay at my first Disney "home," and I am so excited for you! You will love the theming of the Resort - when I enter the kraal (lobby), I feel like I've been transported to an African savanna. The
animal Cast Members are spectacular (the human ones are too!), and the
food is our favorite on property!
Once your reservation is confirmed, you will be able to check-in
online. On your desktop, or the
My Disney Experience app, find your Resort Reservation (under My Plans), and then click on "Start Check-In." From there, you will go through a series of steps that include
room location requests. At
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas (both Jambo House and Kidani Village), you will have the option of "close to elevator" or "close to lobby." Choose whichever option is the best for your family. If you would like to discuss a specific location with a Cast Member, feel free to call
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations. Remember, Walt Disney World does it's best to sprinkle pixie dust and honor requests, but they are not guaranteed.
Once you arrive at your
hotel, make sure to stop by the savanna at night. From the viewpoint, you can talk with an
Animal Specialist and enjoy a unique view via
night-vision goggles. It's one of our favorite things to do at the Resort!
Stop by if you have any other questions. Asante Sana!
