Re: thoughts on disney's animal kingdom lodge
We love it! We've stayed there twice now and I think we will go back at least one more time before TTC. The lodge doesn't share a bus with any other resort. Also, since it's a deluxe resort, the bus stop is usually one of the first terminals at each park. It's a bit far out from everything, though, so you'll want to make sure the kiddos have a bathroom break before going to and from a park. We once sat in front of a family and the poor little boy had to use the bathroom really badly and it was a 45 minute bus ride.
The lodge has a really nice pool. It is a bit dark inside, but that doesn't mean you can't see where you're walking. There are a bunch of activities on site for days when you want to skip the parks. You can also hang out at various spots around the premises to watch the animals if you don't get a savannah-view room. Everyone raves about the breakfast buffet at Boma, but we liked dinner there better.
We stayed there recently and while the resort is absolutely gorgeous, DH and I both felt it wasn't worth the extra money. We did get a savanna view, which was very cool but it's not like we were able to really hang out in a room for long periods of time with our 2 y/o DS, kwim? And I agree with PP, it is kind of far from most of the parks.
Our favorite resort so far has been Caribbean beach. Just make sure you pay a little extra to get a preferred room.
Have fun!
we just stayed there in Dec for my sons 5th bday and we LOVED it! It is such a cool place, i love the feel too, its very rustic feeling and just gorgeous. the restaurants are fantastic, we love boma. they also have a kids area, the simba house, that my son loved, where you can drop them off for a few hours if you want and go have dinner at one of the restaurants sans kids.
and def go out at night and do the night vision thing to watch the animals.
the pool area is great too and they have games everyday and also a waterslide.
have a great time!!
