Welcome to planDisney, Brenda! Are you ready to have a wild time during your stay at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge this week? It's one of my favorite
Disney Resorts Collection Hotels because of the gorgeous grounds and decor, but mostly because of the food!
Boma - Flavors of Africa is my favorite buffet at Walt Disney World Resort and
Jiko - The Cooking Place is a fantastic restaurant for a special dinner to celebrate your vacation.
If you want to stock your room with water and snacks, you have a couple of options to choose from.
The Mara, your Resort Hotel's quick-service dining location, has grab-and-go snacks and bottled water for you to purchase between 6:30 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. every day. There are also shopping centers nearby if you want to call a rideshare and do a bit of shopping for your favorite snacks and some cases of water. You can also have a grocery order delivered to
Bell Services to be picked up after you check-in. They have fridges to keep any perishables fresh, and they'll even deliver your groceries to your room for a small fee!
When you're in the Theme Parks, bottled water and snacks will be available for purchase at kiosks and dining locations. You can also visit a quick-service restaurant and ask for a cup of complimentary ice water at any time! During the hotter and busier times of the year, like spring break which is happening right now, there are often coolers of self-serve ice water with disposable cups in and around dining locations, so keep your eyes open for some of those as well.
I hope this answers your question, Brenda, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
