Animal Kingdom Lodge
As you enter this resort, you will feel like you have just stepped into Africa. Africa in Orlando? Amazing!! All the greeters you will meet are actually from Africa and some are even dressed in traditional African clothing. The architecture of the lobby and the entire resort has an amazing African theme and are authentic African artifacts.
Step outside and you can walk several trails to view several types of animals. Your bedroom view looks over giraffes, zebras, or ostriches! You can take your pick, a romantic atmosphere for couples, or a fun and exciting atmosphere for the kids. Either way, the experience will be amazing!
The travel channel calls this resort the #1 fun family resort vacation spot in the world! Click here for the article.
To call this place a hotel would be a severe understatement.
