"Hotel and restaurants average. The bar was the best outlet. Very nice and helpful staff and everyone was friendly."
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 19, 2025 NEW
Average experience at best. Only two restaurants and very expensive buffet only options for adults. $44++for breakfast and $56++ for dinner. Food was good quality, not great. Mara cafeteria was a mob scene, slow, very little selection. Coffee was $5 a cup and nothing available in the lobby, you had to wade into the Mara mob scene just to buy a self serve cup for $5 😡 They had another restaurant across the hall that only served dinner, but getting reservations at these restaurants was practically impossible.

"Disappointed"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 11, 2025
We saved up for a year and had a Savannah view at club level. Check-in was chaotic with no one at the front desk and no availability at Bell Services for luggage help. Club level was the worst with meager choices and requests for items needing to be replenished ignored. Staff there were attentive primarily to a few guests they recognized. The view from the balcony and the architecture were wonderful. But we will not return here.

"Nice but not worth the money"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 09, 2025
Overall we had a nice stay, clean and quiet room with an incredible view of the Savannah. The staff was nice but also had some difficulties getting our bags and had to call repeatedly for a few hours to track them down. For the price we paid per night, thought it was a bit ridiculous for my kids to pay $8 at craft time to make a very cheap bracelet. Overall a nice hotel but would stay elsewhere for my next family trip to Disney.

"A great stay for animal lovers!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed February 09, 2025
My family and I just spent a wonderful stay at Disneys Animal Lodge! The Savanna views were perfect for our animal loving girls. However for full enjoyment of the experience of watching the animals roam by your room, we recommend one relaxed day away from the parks to get the full experience. The only thing to advise is that this hotel is less Disney decorated than traditional Disney resorts, which was hard for our kids to adapt too. Additional restaurants on premises were primarily African cuisine themed which can be harder for finicky eaters. That aside, we had a great experience and a very friendly staff.

"Fun Family Getaway!"

Reviewed January 24, 2025
It is a beautiful resort but the rooms do need some updating. We liked being able to see so many animals! The cast members were very helpful. It is a bit of a drive from all the theme parks except Animal Kingdom, but the buses were prompt so that was nice!
