Hi Tammy,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I'm excited for you and your family and your plans for Walt Disney World! I always encourage Guests to stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, and I'm glad you're exploring your choices.
You can get an overview of your choices by checking out
"Places to Stay" at
DisneyWorld.com. You'll see right away you have so many options by category — Deluxe Resort Hotels, Moderate Resort Hotels, and Value Resort Hotels — as well as by resort location — Magic Kingdom Area, Epcot Area, Disney's Animal Kingdom Area, Disney Springs Area, and ESPN Wide World of Sports Area.
I'm pretty certain the resort you're thinking of is
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, and I can tell you it's spectacular! I have enjoyed several stays at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, including a 10-day stay a few years ago, and I simply love the resort. I find that the rooms, amenities, and recreation carry you away to an amazing adventure. The dining offerings, I think, are so spectacularly delicious that they deserve their own call out.
Jiko - The Cooking Place, Boma - Flavors of Africa, and Sanaa are three of my favorite Walt Disney World dining experiences. There's nothing quite like taking in the views at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Another suggestion is to check out the
Free Planning Videos to get an overview of all the resorts, theme parks, attractions, and restaurants. It's a great way to start your planning.
Tammy, here's wishing you a magical stay!
Jerry
