My Top Five Favorite Things About Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

 Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is a Disney resort that I really enjoyed staying in. Today, I will be sharing with you some of my favorite things about this resort.

5. My fifth favorite thing about this resort is Sanaa. Sanaa is a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge that serves African and Indian inspired dishes. The food here is really good and the bread service is well known, so don’t forget to try the bread service when you visit!

4. My fourth favorite thing is the other restaurant, The Mara. The Mara is a quick service restaurant which means it is not a sit down restaurant. I really enjoyed my food here and I actually liked The Mara better than Sanaa. The Mara is also well known for its Zebra Domes, so be sure to get those.

3. The third thing that I liked about this resort is all the African designs. The designs can be found all through out the resort and I just really like how much detail was put into Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

2. What makes this resort unique is how you can see animals from your balcony!

  1. The best thing about Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is how close the resort is to Animal Kingdom. This is important because being close to Animal Kingdom can help save time in the morning and help you get more rides done.

I think Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is a great resort that you should definitely stay at while you are in Disney World!

The Mara Review

The Mara is a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. I went to The Mara for the first time back in July and can’t wait to tell you all about it!

The Mara has indoor seating…

…and outdoor seating.

We decided to sit outside since the weather was nice. I had the Tamarind Pulled Pork Sandwich. It comes with coleslaw (on the side) and French fries. It was delicious! If you like Pulled Pork Sandwiches, you should definitely get this.

Here is a closer picture of the coleslaw.

My mom and dad shared the Braai Chicken Flatbread. The Braai Flatbread has sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, pieces of chicken, bacon, red onion, mozzarella, and Saag Dahl Ranch drizzle. They said that they really liked all the different flavors in the flatbread.

Al had the Cheeseburger from the kids’ menu.

Zebra Domes are very well know so we decided to try them. The Zebra Domes were absolutely delicious! When you go to The Mara, you should try these!

I give The Mara 5 Mickey Bars!

Here are some additional pictures from The Mara:

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

In July, we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and I can’t wait to tell you all about it!

At Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, there are two separate villages that you can stay in: the Jambo House and Kidani Village. We stayed at Kidani Village.

What is really nice about the Animal Kingdom Lodge is that it is really close to Animal Kingdom. That can help you get to the parks earlier and let you do more rides!

Here are some pictures of the lobby at Kidani Village.

Here are some pictures of the lobby at Jambo House.

Animal Kingdom Lodge has four restaurants. The Mara, Sanaa, Jiko, and Boma. Update: Jiko is currently closed. We went to The Mara and Sanaa. I will review these restaurants in different blog articles, so keep on the look out!

Here are some pictures from the room we stayed in.
