Cast Members Celebrate Reopening of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Jambo (that’s “Hello” in Swahili), Disney fans! We have exciting news to share as Walt Disney World Resort has officially reopened one of our very favorite Resorts, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! While Disney’s Animal Kingdom Kidani Village Villas have been open to Disney Vacation Club Members for some time, the Jambo House and regular Disney Resort Hotel Guest bookings have been unavailable at the beloved Resort until now. We’ve seen the reopening of favorite Resorts like Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, but we can’t help but be extra excited about Animal Kingdom Lodge’s return!

Not only is there excitement surrounding the reopening of the Animal Kingdom Lodge, but we’re also thrilled with updates in Walt Disney World dining. Boma Flavors of Africa within the Resort has reopened as Disney’s first buffet to return since the start of the COVID pandemic. Plus, if you need a refreshing beverage, the popular Animal Kingdom Lodge lounge – Victoria Falls – has officially reopened as well. With so much excitement, it’s no wonder Disney’s Cast Members are celebrating!

We love the excitement! If you’re making plans to visit a Disney Park during the 18-month celebration of their 50th Anniversary kicking off October 1, consider staying at the one and only Disney Resort where you can wake up to see the stunning savanna with roaming exotic animals right outside your balcony! Just a hop away from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, you simply can’t go wrong with this wonderful Resort. If you find yourself stuck at home for now – have no fear! You can have a taste of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge right at home with Disney’s recipe for the popular Sanaa bread. Welcome back to all the Animal Kingdom Lodge Cast Members and Guests! Next up, we’re ready to see the return of the next Walt Disney World hotel reopen in October which is Port Orleans Resort.

I'm a Disney nerd! A kid at heart who loves the magic and memories of Walt Disney World. I follow all things Disney and enjoy the vacations, day trips, weekend getaways, and geek out over the planning of such events. My goal is to experience as many Disney desserts and cocktails as possible! Married to another Disney nerd and blessed with a daughter and son, we thoroughly enjoy the magic at Disney and are here to help others experience the magic as well.
