5* Animal Kingdom
Descrition / Location
Guests of this resort are eligible for complimentary Disney’s Magical Express Service – motorcoaches take you from Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort hotel, while Disney picks up your bags and take them straight to your room.This unique Disney resort is reminiscent of a wildlife-reserve lodge on the African savannah. Arriving guests are greeted in a three-story lobby with a crackling fireplace, hand-carved wood furniture, and authentic African artifacts. As the sun sets, two outdoor patios flanking the lobby provide close-up views of exotic animals, including giraffes, ostriches, impalas, and zebras. Simba’s Cubhouse provides supervised children's activities and the resort has a children’s pool, playground, and game arcade. The Zahanati Massage & Fitness Center features Cybex exercise equipment and free weights, and offers spa and massage treatments for an additional fee. Guests can ease their way into the resort’s zero-entry outdoor pool, which has a 67-foot-long slide and two spa tubs.

Activities
The most popular activity here is observing the exotic animals that wander the resort’s savannah-like grounds. Guests can stop by the hotel’s savannah viewing areas to catch glimpses of giraffes, ostriches, impalas, and zebras. Folks also gather at the large zero-entry pool; its gently sloping entrance is handy for young children and guests who don’t have full mobility. A 67-foot-long slide zips swimmers into the center with a splash. There’s also a children’s pool, 24-hour playground, game arcade, and two spa tubs on site. Supervised children's activities take place at Simba’s Cubhouse (surcharge applies), and guests of all ages can venture off on a cultural safari or watch the animals roaming about the savannah. The Zahanati Massage & Fitness Center has Cybex exercise equipment, treadmills, stationary bikes, and free weights as well as steam rooms and saunas. Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course and Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park are both one mile from the resort via complimentary Disney transportation. The resort’s guest service desk can assist with reservations on any one of Disney’s five tour-caliber golf courses, all located on Walt Disney World® Resort property. A 9-hole course is also available.
