Some important information about your hotel.

Disney's Magical Express Service is another benefit to staying at an on-site Disney Resort hotel. Buses take guests from the Orlando International Airport to the Disney Resort hotel, while the bags are transported and taken straight to the hotel room. When the vacation is over, guests and the bags are transported from the Disney Resort hotel back to the airport. To book the complimentary Disney's Magical Express Service, visit www.disneysmagicalexpress.com. You may be subject to the airline's checked bag fees policy. Check with the airline you have booked for information on pre-paying checked bag fees to save money.
Staying at a Walt Disney World® Resort hotel gives you even more chances to experience the magic with Extra Magic Hours. Each day one of the Disney Theme Parks opens an hour early or stays open up to three hours after regular Park closing, so Disney Resort guests can enjoy easy access to select attractions - even the most popular ones!
Complimentary wireless internet available in all guest rooms!

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is a 33-acre wildlife reserve and African-style hotel located near Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park and approximately 25 miles from Orlando International Airport.
The perfect resort for animal lovers, guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge can watch antelope, giraffes, exotic birds, and other creatures from most balcony rooms, restaurants, the pool, and other public areas. Guests may partake in several animal programs, including cultural safaris, watching the animals at dusk with night vision technology, junior researcher programs, and watching animal handlers feed pelicans and flamingos.
The zero-entry outdoor swimming pool features a 67-foot waterslide, and the pool area also contains a children's pool and two whirlpools. After a long, hard safari, guests can unwind at the Zahanati Massage & Fitness Center, featuring massages, beauty treatments, exercise equipment, personal trainers, and saunas. Parents who would like a night to themselves may drop the kids off at Simba's Clubhouse, where children can be entertained by games and Disney movies in a supervised environment. Kids will also enjoy the 24-hour Hakuna Matata Playground, overlooking the flamingo area and the savanna.
Additional amenities include a family style dining restaurant, a fine dining restaurant, Pumbaa's Fun & Games Arcade, babysitting services, valet and self parking, laundry facilities, and laundry services.
