Share the adventure of a jungle safari in
lush surroundings showcasing the grandeur of Africa. With many rooms overlooking the beautiful savannahs, grazing zebra, giraffes
and gazelles can be seen roaming free in natural environments. The rhythm of tribal drums...the exquisite cuisine...the rich
settings...and the lure of authentic African treasures all come together to celebrate the beauty and wonder of this vast and
untamed continent. Three animal savannas are home to more than 200 mammals and birds representative of the African animal
palette. Some examples are giraffe, zebra, Thomson's gazelle, ostrich, flamingo, African spoonbill, and sacred ibis.

Renovations/Important Information: Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is currently
under construction both internally and externally. Work will be done 7 days a week during daytime working hours.
The internal work will be done from April 2007 through late December 2007. The work will entail a complete remodelling of
the guest rooms located on the 5 and 6th floors into vacation villas. These floors are completely closed and inaccessible
to guests. The construction work will involve jack hammers and other work machinery. To minimize guest disturbance, the hotel
will close rooms located directly below where heavy work is taking place. The internal work is not visible to guests but there
will be some noise heard from the lobby, 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. The hotel will do their best to place guests in areas away
from the work area, however this cannot be guaranteed based on occupancy levels.
The external work will be done
from April 2007 - late June 2009. The work will involve constructing a new building which will be located next to the main
building. This new building will house additional vacation villas. The new constuction, workers and machinery will be visible
to guests. Some of the Savannah View rooms will also have views of the new construction taking place behind the Savannah area.
The work will not effect clients spending time by the pool or restaurants. These areas are far enough from the
work taking place that noise doesn't seem to be an issue. All hotel facilities remain fully open for guests to enjoy.
Important Information:
As of June 1, 2007, all Disney owned and operated resort hotels at the Walt Disney World Resort will become smoke free environments. This applies to all guestrooms, patios and balconies. Smoking is
currently prohibited in all lobbies, common areas, restaurants and convention spaces. Smoking will be permitted in designated
outdoor smoking locations only.
Effective immediately, guests will no longer be able to request a smoking room
