Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge offers all the features expected from a quality Disney hotel: rooms decorated to match the theme, a massive (11,000-square-foot) pool and four dining options. Nature enthusiasts find more to love in this hotel, as it offers 24-hour views of African wildlife.
Three 10-acre savannas surround the lodge. Arusha Rock, an elevated viewing platform near the main lobby, provides sweeping views of animals such as giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and several bird species. Guests can also view animals from windowed alcoves throughout the hotel. Through special animal programs, guests experience up-close encounters with African animals.
Other amenities include a massage and fitness center, playground, arcade, shopping, children's activity center and transportation to and from all Disney parks.

Disney's Wilderness Lodge
Disney's Wilderness Lodge was designed especially for outdoor adventure enthusiasts. The architecture gives a rustic, log cabin feel. Trees and flowers surround the grounds. Fire Rock Geyser, modeled after Yellowstone's Old Faithful, shoots a 120-foot spout every hour on the hour.
Outdoor adventure enthusiasts can rent bicycles, jog a forested trail, go fishing, spend a day at the beach or rent an array of watercraft---pontoon boat, canopy boat or Sea Raycer. The hotel's swimming pools match the outdoor theme. Silver Creek Springs starts as a bubbling spring in the lobby, flows out to the courtyard, and finishes as a 15-foot waterfall cascading into the swimming pool.
Other hotel amenities include four dining options, a large lodge area with fireplace and nightly sing-a-longs, arcade, playground, fitness center and "cubs' den" childcare center.
