 Top 5 Reasons To visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

 

While attending the Disneynature Monkey Kingdom Movie event in Orlando, I was given the opportunity to meet and interview Greg Peccie, Animal Operations Manager at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. All of these years living here in the Orlando area, and I had never been to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. And it has been open since 2001! Where have I been?? I have seriously been missing out. This is practically in my backyard and after taking a closer look, I am already planning a trip with the kids.

Mr. Greg Peccie was very informative and educated about the animals, hotel, restaurant, and more. You could tell that he absolutely loved his job and this lodge. There were multiple things I learned about this fun resort, and I’m going to share the top 5 reasons why I’m coming back!

THE ANIMALS

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge sits on 46 acres. It houses over 250 animals. It’s like a resort inside of a zoo…not a zoo inside of a resort! Imagine waking up and enjoying a cup coffee on your porch while watching the zebra eat their breakfast. AMAZING. Mr. Greg Peccie answered all of our questions about these great animals.

RESORT ACTIVITIES

Check out the activity calendar. Every Disney resort offers a wide variety of activities and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is no different. Lots of activities. And most of them are free! It’s like it’s own vacation. You could enjoy a few days at the lodge without stepping foot into the parks and have plenty to do for the kids and adults alike.

You will find cast members that work at the resort are very knowledgeable. Keep an eye out for animal specialists and animal keepers. They are ready and willing to answer any questions you have about the animals, their environment, conservation, and more. Head out to view the savannah and you will see one or two animal specialists on the boardwalk to help you learn all about what you are seeing.
