What we love

One of the most fun resorts, with savanna-view rooms and plenty of opportunities to see the animals on the grounds
Home to more than 30 species of African wildlife — more than 250 animals — plus plenty of public viewing areas
Sleeps up to 12 in the 3-bedroom grand villa
Best buffet on property at Boma, which serves American and traditional African dishes
Spectacular lobby with incredible art throughout
Uzima Springs is one of the largest pools on property at 11,000 square feet
Hotel is designed to maximize views of the savannas and animals

Keep in Mind

Hotel charges $24 per night (sales tax included) for overnight self-parking
Hotel charges $33 per night (sales tax included) for valet parking
Furthest deluxe resort from Magic Kingdom® Park
Not on monorail or accessible to the parks by boat; requires bus or car
No quiet pools
Maximum occupancy for standard room with 2 beds is 4
Furthest rooms are about a 10-minute walk to the lobby, pool and bus stops
Smaller standard room sizes than some of the other deluxes
No water recreational activities

Notable Facts

The lodge was designed by Peter Dominick, who also designed Disney's Wilderness Lodge
Rooms are designed in a semi-circle, following Kraal African village design, to maximize views of the savannahs and animals
There are 3 savannas on property — Sunset, Arusha and Uzima — each with its own look and feel
Ostriches are only found in the Sunset savanna; zebras are found in Arusha; giraffes are the only animal found on all 3 savannas

Frog Family Tips

Consider upgrading to a savanna-view room; the view is worth it!
Victoria Falls Lounge gets very popular; if it's crowded, try the bar inside Jiko - The Cooking Place
Pick up an animal viewing guide from the front desk if you don't find one in your room
Request a room on the higher floors for more expansive views; request a room on the second floor to be closer to the animals; the third floor is likely the sweet spot
The Zebra trail rooms facing the Uzima savanna offer more unspoiled views; the Arusha savanna includes a large rock formation and public viewing area

Best For

Animal-loving families, especially larger families with longer stays, who are looking for kitchenettes or full kitchens, in-room washers and dryers, and deluxe-level amenities

General Walt Disney World® Resort Benefits

Staying on-site at an Official Walt Disney World® Hotel gives you several great complimentary benefits, including free transportation and more. You'll be able to make FastPass+ reservations 60-days advance of your check-in, whereas those staying off-site can make reservations up to 30 days in advance of each day of their theme park visit. FastPass+ allows you to pre-book up to three ride or attraction reservations per day.

The Frog Family absolutely loves staying on-site not just for the fun themes and Disney atmosphere of the hotels, but also for the convenient amenities. Some of the other complimentary benefits include:
- Free MagicBands - You will have MagicBands shipped to your home (within the U.S.) or provided upon arrival. MagicBands are used as hotel keys and allow you to touch-and-go while entering the parks (Valid Theme Park admission required), using FastPass+ or PhotoPass locations, and making purchases.
- Convenient Proximity - You can easily go back to your hotel from the parks if you need a break or want to relax at the pool. It's just as easy to head back to the parks after relaxing at your hotel for a couple of hours.
- Free Airport Service - With Disney's Magical Express® Transportation, the convenient motorcoach service transports you between Orlando International Airport and your Official Walt Disney World® Hotel. Have your MagicBands ready to go at the airport before boarding. Learn more about Disney's Magical Express® Transportation.
- Free Park Transportation - Along with complimentary transportation to the airport, you'll also receive free transportation to all Disney Theme Parks! Depending on which Official Walt Disney World® Hotel you stay at, you'll have access to the Monorail, water launch and/or bus transportation. Many of the Official Walt Disney World® Hotels are also walking distance to the parks and other resorts.
- Free Wi-Fi - When staying on-site, you'll have access to complimentary wi-fi, available in your room and select public areas, such as the pools, arcades, restaurants and more.
- Extended Theme Park Hours - With Extra Magic Hours Benefit, you can enter the park on select days one hour early, or stay an extra two hours after park closing. If you want to be able to stay at a park during regular hours, but use your EMH for a different park, you'll need a Park Hopper ticket. Read more about Extra Magic Hours Benefit and when we recommend you use them. (Valid Theme Park admission and Resort ID required
