Hey guys! I have a couple questions!
What is the fastest way to get from the Boardwalk to Animal Kingdom Lodge?
Also, What are ideal times for the Giraffes to be out & about/active?
I am taking my Girlfriend to AKL on our non-park day to *hopefully* see the Giraffes because she has never been to AKL and she adores Giraffes.
We are planning on having a snack/visiting the boardwalk on the same day and I'm trying to plan everything out.
We DO have our own vehicle so that is another option, But I wasn't sure what other options there were for transportation because I would like to park at the boardwalk and work our day around that.
Thanks!
Actually all of the animals on the 3 largest savannas go into their barns during the mornings and are off the savanna for about an hour & 1/2. They empty one savanna, let those animals back out, then move the animals on the next savanna into their barn then let them out then do the same on the third savanna. So going between 8-10 guarentees that at least one savanna will have no animals as they will be in their barn for their daily morning check/feed. All three savannas have giraffes, so check the outlook for Arusha savanna (behind AKL Jambo's lobby,) Uzima savanna (walk past the Jambo pool on the left, there'll be a cast member from Africa there to chat about the animals,) and then take a DS springs bus or walk or van up to Kidani - the DVC arm of AKL - to the Sunset savanna overlook - there are nice rocking chairs to the right of the Kidani outlook where you can view Sunset savanna as well.8-10 am then they get lazy, dusk/rainy times.
OP parking at BW is discouraged - in fact I got a flyer about that when I stayed there last Dec. warning that even as a guest staying at the resort I might have trouble finding parking. Where are you staying? Just take Disney transportation from there to the front of DHS and walk or boat to BW from there. Then walk/boat back to DHS and take the AKL bus. If you're staying offsite park for free at Disney springs and take the BW bus. After BW walk/boat to the front of DHS and take the AKL bus. Take the DS bus from AKL to get back to DS & your car.
