Tell me your favourite thing about the Animal Kingdom Lodge! :D

Jambo lobby
Savannah view
Watching the animals with night vision goggles
Jiko
Boma
Pool is just okay, but the pool area is neat
Shading the lobby floor symbols with the kids
No matter where you are you look out a window and you see exotic animals
Story time by the fire pit
CMs posted around the savanah, to answer any questions that you may have about the animals or Africa.

Finally; being upgraded twice to a savannah view roompixiedust:
 
We are going to try to stay at this resort for our June 2014:thumbsup2 Hoping to hear lots of great things about this resort:goodvibes
 

My favorite thing may be a negative for some people. I love that it's a bit isolated from the rest of the WDW parks and resorts. Once you are back to your resort you are in a little AKL/AKV bubble of African themes and animals. I find it very relaxing.

yes~! :goodvibes

Walking into the beautiful lobby at the end of a hot day in the Parks.
The amazing attention to detail and theming.
The beautiful and huge pool - an oasis! :beach:
The yummy food choices..
The fabulous and interesting gift shop.
The variety of fun and interesting activities for everyone in every age group.
The fire pit with rocking chairs.
The animal viewing areas! We never get tired of watching the animals. :cool2:
 
Aside from the obvious..... I love the decore of the Jambo House lobby. It is breathtaking!
 
Jiko, Boma and those little Zebra Domes.

Oh, and all the animals. I loved waking up to see giraffes outside!
 
EVERYTHING!! :cheer2:

Seriously, I don't have one single complaint about AKL. Everything about the resort is relaxing and stunning. The pool is gorgeous, the food, even at Mara, is delicious (and I'm really picky), and of course the animals! What's not to like? :confused3
 
We loved AKL! Great activities for the kids. My husband and I did the Wanyama Safari. We thought the safari followed by Jiko dinner was a highlight of our trip. My youngest would run to the balcony each morning to sit and watch the animals. My only complaint is that I didnt schedule enough down time to explore.
 
My favorite things at the AKL are:

Walking up, wander out to the balcony, and seeing giraffes, zebra, and other animals
Getting back to the room late at night, wander out to the balcony, and seeing giraffes, zebra, and other animals
Night vision goggles
Wanyama Safari
Zebra Domes
Boma for breakfast
 
The lobby is spectacular.

Jiko is my favorite restaurant on property.

Sitting on the balcony; rain or shine.

And everything!
 
Wanyama Safari (a safari on the lodge's own savannahs, followed by a family style dinner at Jiko). Plan to do this early in your stay, so you know more about the animals your watching throughout the vacation.

Boma breakfast (our new must-do on Animal Kingdom days, even when we're not staying at AKL).

Zebra Domes! Yummy.
