The Animal Kingdom Lodge is perhaps the best hotel on the whole of the Walt Disney World complex. Although not a five star hotel, the as the Animal Kingdom Lodge more that makes up for the lack of 24 hour room service, with spectacular scenery and interior design that instantly whisks the hotel guest into a world of African charm. In fact the Animal Kingdom Lodge is known to be favoured by celebrity clientele for their family visits to Disney World.

The earthy decorative tones, and authentic African artefacts makes the Animal Kingdom Lodge feels incredibly warm and inviting. Staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge give the convenience of staying on a Disney World Site without being surrounded by Disney themes.

The Animal Kingdom Lodge has a charm that appeals to both adults and children. The animals striding across the savannahs in the morning and evening enthral all ages groups and it is a welcome change from hustle and bustle of the Disney theme parks. The Animal Kingdome lodge is little part of Africa that Disney have got exactly right. Its is relaxing and inviting and transports the hotel guest to world that seems many thousands of miles away from Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and yet guests are only a few short minutes away by shuttle bus to all the major Disney theme parks.

The Animal Kingdom Lodge could stand along as super hotel outside of Disney and would still be worth a visit.

Children love playing and experimenting with colourful beads, and creating a unique piece of jewellery. It’s the perfect crafting activity to keep those little hands busy. And what is even better, is that it is a quiet activity which requires a little bit of concentration. And so when the little ones are creating their jewellery pieces, and selecting their beads, there is welcome break from the hyper activity that is associated with trips to the theme parks.

If when you have finished your jewellery projects and returned home you want to learn more about beading, then try www.ibeadmag.com for ideas and inspiration. They have a great tribal necklace project which would fit right in with the African style jewellery on sale at the Animal Kingdom lodge gift shop.  You can view it here http://ibeadmag.com/tribal-memory-wire-necklace/#more-343

One of the great things about staying at the Animal Kingdom lodge or any Disney hotel  in a Disney resort, is the way they cater for children. When you consider going to visit Disney world in Florida, one of the main  considerations will be costs, but when you take everything into consideration, the extra money you spend on a Disney hotel is totally worth it.

The Animal Kingdom lodge provides so many extra activities for children that it truly makes is something special. At dusk children can borrow night vision goggles and look at the animals directly from the hotel grounds onto the savannahs, to truly get an appreciation of the wildlife. There are always friendly guides on hand to explain more about animal behaviour. This is nice little touch to the after dinner experience. It’s like going on a night time safari.

During the day there are often activities for the children. If it’s wet, then out come the art can craft supplies and the beautiful Animal Kingdom Lodge lobby is turned into a giant crèche for the children, encouraging them to take part in new crafting projects.

Make sure to check out the notice board by the Boma restaurant for list of daily activities and there scheduled times. These are the kind of tips that no brochure tells your and it really isn’t promoted that well.  Our favourite craft activity was the beading classes. A wonderful selection of beautiful African beads were presented to the children for them to use to make cards, braid hair or make simple jewellery. We love beads and so this activity was particularly enjoyable.
