Want to make a visit to the far reaches of the African savannah while still being on the east coast without having to take a long flight? Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge takes you on the African safari that rivals Adventure Land. In this case, however, the Animal Kingdom Lodge does not have audio animatronic animals. This hotel has brought you ”live” animals for you to experience the magic of being personally up and close to them.
Put on that safari hat because you are now in Africa – at the Animal Kingdom Lodge! This amazing hotel has become famous for having this special exhibit of encountering these beautiful animals. From giraffes to zebras, animals of different species greet you in the morning as you drink your warm cup of coffee out on the balcony of your room.
Each hotel room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge is styled to the African theme. Woven baskets serve as the ”portraits” on the walls; colorful patterns are sewn onto bed sheets and chairs. From noticing your room, you will see that brown plays a dominant role in color since many items such as the headboards and tables are in that color. The attention to African art in detail is amazing which makes craftsmanship a unique trait.
Do you have a fan of Princesses in your family? Then, let me suggest Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, located in the country of Norway portion of the Epcot theme park at Walt Disney World. This character meal serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The Akershus meal features an impressive selection of Norwegian items served both as a cold buffet and as hot table service offerings. For breakfast, American favorites are brought to the table and are served family style. For lunch and dinner, hot items are served a la carte. The food is amazing! For our family, we enjoy breakfast the most: the cold buffet and the warm breakfast items are the perfect match. It is a Disney “must do” on each of our trips!
The décor of this location is beautiful. High ceilings and lovely archways add to the ambiance of the restaurant. Match that with the lovely Disney princesses that walk around to visit each table and this is an experience you won’t want to miss. (The princesses at Akershus can change each visit, and you may see Ariel, Belle, Aurora, Snow White, and Cinderella as well as other leading ladies.) The location is perfect place to get your pictures taken with your favorite Disney princesses and add to your autograph book.
Think your little ones are too young to enjoy Disney? Well, I am here to tell you that I have a different opinion. (And, so do my four children!) Walt Disney World makes it easy to travel with babies with Disney Baby Care Centers!
There are Disney baby care centers located in all 4 of the theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios.) These very clean, special areas offer families with young children a place to stop and relax for a few minutes. There are air conditioned areas where mothers can nurse their babies as well as multiple changing stations. Kid-friendly restrooms are available too! Cast members are always on hand to offer assistance, and typically have coloring pages and fabulous Disney movies playing on a nearby TV for older sisters and brothers. Did you forget something important for your baby? No problem! You can purchase many basic baby care items (e.g. diapers, baby food) here so that you can continue your day of MAGIC!
Do you need a spot to feed your infant away from the all the excitement? Or, do you simply need a place to take a break or cool off? 😉 Stop on by! Disney is ready for you. *O*
