It is Monday so we are linking up with another Magical Mickey with John at run.geek.rundisney and Katie from Adventures by Katie. This week I will be talking about our stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas: Jambo House.

Our studio overview
When we were just down there in June, we did a split stay in 2 studios and then a 2-bedroom. Ralph and I stayed in one room and my mom and stepdad stayed in the other. 

We stayed in the Value Jambo house rooms and loved it. Mara (which is basically the food court) was right downstairs and we could see animals from our first room; our second room overlooked the pool.

The pool at AKL was fantastic! It was absolutely gorgeous and the slide was fun. We also went over to the Kidani village and checked out there pool. It was also really nice but felt a lot more crowded. Kidani Village also had a separate kiddie play area. And no worries-Kidani has drink stations by the pool and in the gift shop since they don't have a food court there. 

One thing to note:these are former hotel rooms converted to studios so they are smaller than typical DVC rooms. However they are much less in points to make up for that. 

They are about to do small upgrades to rooms with a rumor that they will be adding the 5th person that can sleep on a pullout bed.

The pool!
The entire resort is gorgeous! Yes, it is far from parks (minus AK of course!) But honestly MK is no further than when I have stayed at Pop Century. It truly is in a class of its own. 

 I will keep writing reviews of various parts of the resort throughout the next few weeks including our breakfast at Boma and amazing dinner at Sanaa. 

Have you ever stayed or visited Animal Kingdom Lodge?

That reset looks so beautiful. I have L ways wanted to stay there. Hopefully one of these times. Even though it is far away from the park I would love to expert it just once.

I'd love to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge at some point! We went there for dinner a couple times (Jiko once trip and Sanaa another) and the resort is so beautiful. I'm planning on trying out Boma for breakfast on our trip this year.

It is far but really not much farther than other hotels but the resort definitely makes up for it. It's been one of the only resorts I've been to that makes me want to stay and explore the resort more than go to the parks.

Those look very cool. AK is on my list of places I really want to stay at. I've gone there once to eat and see the resort, and it looks amazing to stay at. Such beautiful grounds. Yes, you're at one end of property, but my in-laws time share is just off that end of the property and it's not that bad to get to the other parks from there as you would normally think.
