I have a pool view room booked, just hoping for 3rd floor on Zebra Trail. Going to get there around 10 am, so maybe that will help my chances.zebra trail was a good location. We were on two, which was a five minute walk to the lobby and a 5 minute walk to the pool and the Mara.
We loved the HR hotel when we did Universal on our last trip. "The Kitchen" restaurant was awesome even with accommodating our daughter's hard to work with food allergies....which is hard to find at Universal.We're going back, officially booked
December 8th (my bday) to Dec 15th. Jambo House, Club Level this time.
We're also doing Universal for our first time ever Dec 6th and 7th then moving to Disney on the 8th. Staying at the Hard Rock.
....you'll find that AKL really accommodates those with special dietary needs....We loved the HR hotel when we did Universal on our last trip. "The Kitchen" restaurant was awesome even with accommodating our daughter's hard to work with food allergies....which is hard to find at Universal.
Oh Absolutely! Disney was amazing with her allergy....Universal not so much...except for our experience at HRH's The Kitchen.....you'll find that AKL really accommodates those with special dietary needs....
Holy Crap..... Looks way better than Kilimanjaro Safari's...Just reposting my favorite AKL picture. This was from Kidani in 2014. Major party on the Savannah. Definitely not the usual amount of animals at one time, but in this case, everyone was out. See all the giraffes in the background as well!

So I pretty amped about our April/May 2017 trip. I have two surprises for revealing. First surprise is gonna be the entire trip for my 5yr old DD, she has know idea and has been getting the Disney bug bad, she asks every now and then on when we will be going back and it's been crazy hard for me and the wife to redirect. Second surprise is gonna be for wife and daughter. We were booked for AoA which we were all super stoked to try (we are pop century people) something new but today I just booked us at Animal Kingdom Lodge! I'm hoping to hold on to this secret until we arrive at MCO and check in with magical express and then BOOM! Either way it happens i'm even more excited for this trip. It's just us 3 and have never stayed at a deluxe all together
.....uhhhhhh.....yeah.....We arrive in 25 days and I'm realizing it's probably time for me to start doing some actual things to get ready for our trip!....
We arrive in 25 days and I'm realizing it's probably time for me to start doing some actual things to get ready for our trip! I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys know the answers to...
-what kind of toiletries are provided in the room? I usually pack my own shampoo/conditioner, but if the ones they provide are nice (and they're two separate items, not a combo) that would be 2 less things to pack.
-I'm debating grocery delivery vs. packing granola bars & buying a few things in the store. I know I read they sell water bottles...anyone know if they sell yogurt? My daughter eats Chobani cups like they're going out of style...if they're easily available at AKL I won't bother placing an order and she can just pick one or two out a day. I'm also looking for apple juice...especially Simply Apple or something similar (thick, fresh pressed).
-Are there other things you always pack for an AKL stay? Or things you wished you packed? This is our first trip to Disney since 2003 - my daughter's first trip ever - and our first stay somewhere other then the All Star resorts! And, believe it or not, it's also our first BIG family vacation. I think the longest we've ever stayed in a hotel with my daughter is 3 or 4 nights, and we drove there so we had a car full of stuff!
Thank you thank you thank you!!
