Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort Tour | Hotel Grounds, DVC, Pools, Food Locations & Animals!

In today's vlog we head to Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom Resort for a walking tour around the hotel grounds, food locations, pools, savannas and more! We also checked out the DVC (Disney Vacation Club) Kidani area of the resort. We saw the laundry areas which have a view of the savanna (I thought that was pretty cool!) What did you think? Have you ever stayed here? Let us know in the comments below! Thank you for watching and we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

[@hopeschannel]

I relate to the excitement when seeing the baby ducks lol

[@Quaronna]

Omg I didn't know you watched Tim! I see you everywhere on bigger KZbin channels! 😂😂

[@paigeno3341]

Tim reacting to the baby ducks is me reacting to baby everything tbh

[@gemevans1152]

Me with all cute things, all the time. I just cant cope!😂

[@melnich5528]

Same tho

[@bridgetclement6086]

Same. Especially Kittens and Pups

[@StephenBrown919]

I haven't been to Disney World since 1997. I'm definitely staying at the Animal Kingdom when I go back.

[@ageoflove1980]

That lady climbing the fence was hilarious

[@kroken2123]

Hi Tim tracker you are literally living my dream. To live in Orlando and go to Disney every week

[@SuzQ2]

15:48 - 'Oh look . . . baby ducks! BABY DUCKS EVERYWHERE!' =D

[@jaclynlockwood1234]

21:02 LOL JENN 😂😂 “parkour”

[@klumaro]

Jaclyn lockwood that’s what I thought it said! I kept trying to go back and read it. I then came to comments to see who else noticed it!

[@BigBeautiful2morrow]

Yeah we had to watch it a couple of times to read 'parkour!'

[@AroundIndiana]

One of the cool things about WDW is if you want to just have a chill day or of the parks, or if it's raining or whatever, you can easily spend an entire day just exploring the resorts. We would always do that at least one day while on vacation.

[@kevinmccallister3133]

I honestly believe Animal Kingdom lodge is the best resort at WDW in terms of theming and dining. Despite my home resort being Old Key West. It just seems that there is always something to do at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Tim is correct. They have kid activities at that gold medallion at the entrance. Love this resort and recommend it to new and old Disney vacationers.

[@irond0g780]

I stayed here when I was 5. I just went back December of 2019, but couldn't stay at this lodge this time. I wanted to watch this to remember to back when I was 5. Every 10 seconds I was like "oh I remember that" and am having a massive nostalgia trip. Thank you so much

[@leah3231]

I stayed here in August and it’s honestly the best resort ever, the theming is so amazing and the pool is massive. Forever my favourite resort❤️

[@Rocheman79]

5:14 did anyone else laugh? At tims water tasting

[@Nds859]

Glad I wasn't the only one lol I was like why did I find that so amusing

[@Rocheman79]

Niki Schutter it's kinda how a tourist would react I feel

[@hayleem.3189]

21:02 had me cracking up, watch the woman climbing up

[@kodyeldridge5847]

His reactions to the "little things in life" are hilarious.

[@bradleybarbosa55]

I didn’t realize how beautiful this resort is. Makes me want to stay here.

[@KiddsockTV]

Incredible Tour! Thank you Trackers! Baby Ducks!

[@blueferral3414]

Our family's home resort. Love Animal Kingdom Jambo House!

[@chrisroscoe7367]

Tim, you and Jen should have ur own mainstream TV travel show your videos are so good and informative.

[@BearSavvyTravels]

My two favorite Resorts for exploring are absolutely, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Wilderness Lodge, There is just so much to explore. The interesting thing is that the two were designed by the same architect apparently!

[@seascape35]

Not surprising, because they have a similar look.

[@Victoriasventure]

Once you guys finish the resort tours, you should do a video where you rank them by your favorites. Or by which resort is best for each occasion (family vacation, honeymoon,...etc.) Love you guys, your videos make me so happy!! :)

[@abraxis7292]

I remembered this hotel fondly when I was a young kid. Got the worst sunburn on my friggen ankles when we went to Daytona beach one day. Kept getting woken up at like 3 am. These huge cranes kept squawking at the antelopes coming by to find some water. It was such a cool and relaxing resort otherwise and those rooms were so cozy.

[@ilsehunt6338]

I was there during the hurricane, we were so well looked after by the cast members and the resort allowed big discounts in the restaurants during the hurricane! I was very impressed with Disney with how they entertained the kids in the lobby ! Nothing was too much they made it magical !

[@o123Michi321o]

Flying in tomorrow, first time ever in Orlando (and outside of Europe in general), so excited!

[@helenbain7221]

It’s breath taking! ❤️

[@o123Michi321o]

Helen Bain Niw that I am here, it really is incredible. Even got lucky and scored fastpasses for pretty much all major rides, including Seven Dwarfs on the day and Navi River Journey. Magical!

[@juanquintanilla237]

@@o123Michi321o you live in Europe

[@rachaelmagerl4836]

We toured Animal Kingdom lodge last year. We did both parts. It's breathtaking!

[@SunnyD1318]

This is my dream Disney resort! I’ve always wanted to stay here-having such beautiful animals close by is amazing!! Thank you for this tour! 💕💕

[@adenise676]

Yes its so crazy expensive. Disney should be ashamed!

[@marykatebaskerville9814]

21:01 The little yellow "parkour" that appears cracked me up!

[@meredithkat07]

My favorite! Giraffe lover! Been there many times. I have explored every nook and cranny on my scooter of there large wrap around hallways that enclose the savannas including the fire escapes, which by the way you can see the animals out there too. If you go down the hallways at Jambi House there are big picture windows to view the animals as well as two other lookouts. I hope to go again someday. Thank you Tim &Jenn for all you do! -SHELLEY

[@travelwithhayden]

I stayed here in 2015. The most amazing resort I’ve ever stayed at. I could’ve spent a whole week just at the hotel because it’s so beautiful.

[@christinajoanne8177]

I laughed so hard when Tim said: what sound does an ostrich make? Like merPlhahksbfkf I screamed lmfao

[@willekec4437]

I have never seen so many baby ducks in one place. So cute!!! :)

[@legohead23432]

2:57 I was trippin out because I thought it was a painting or a drawing but then I realized it was 3D

[@chloekay5470]

This place is my DREAM place to stay, which I'll probably never be able to afford, so thank you for the tour, I really enjoyed it : )

[@EB34WORLDWIDE]

It’s one of my favourite hotel in Disney. Definitely recommend the safari view over looking at people in the pool

[@ethanjarvis6788]

I'm waiting for tomorrowland speedway while watching this

[@davidtattersall1985]

We had a couples massage here on our honeymoon last may. You check in inside the gym but there are rooms secluded to the rear. Pure bliss for an hour....... well worth it.

[@Living_EDventures]

Looks like a nice place to stay

[@susanmcinally7228]

The fire pit was great Dec 2014 because it was so cold and we stayed there for our Disneymoon

[@lolaontherox2663]

i wonder if he mentions their toilet paper here tooo hahaha cracks me up! good ol yatch club... AND PLAY!

[@melissathors2569]

My mom and I stay here a lot. We only stay at the Jambo House. It is such an amazing hotel :-) I remember the first time I stayed here when my mom surprised me for my birthday. I always loved waking up to animals outside my room everyday and I love the music they play. Thank you Tim for the video tour...your the best. Tons of love to you and Jenn :-)

[@xcxzozo3899]

Ah! This is my family’s all time favorite resorts! We’re DVC members we made it our home resort and everytime we go we ALWAYS stay at the kidani village resort! Very friendly people and beautiful and great views definitely recommend either of these hotels. We stayed at jambo once or twice and it was just as great! Also on our last trip to Disney (July 2017) it was really stormy in the afternoons and after it would rain all the fun and zebras would come out and rub in the puddles and play! It was so cute!

[@colechester2942]

That bus directory brings back memories of Christmas Day trying to get to Hollywood Studios after dinner on my final night of vacation. We tried uber and the whole parking lot was gridlock didn’t move for 30 min we hopped out of the uber and went to the busses all of the buses were in traffic so we hopped on the first bus we saw that took us to a resort. We then took the bus to Hollywood studios only 30 min before closing 3 hour nightmare

[@KMK99]

Stayed at AKL (Jambo House) in 2015, and it was absolutely amazing. To wake up ,and look out over the Savanna was awesome.

[@Cwright94]

Animal kingdom lodge, Wilderness, and Polynesian resorts are a must stay in

[@AnniePatota]

This is the one and only deluxe I've stayed at and it was so unforgettable. The AP discount last spring made it possible and I would love to get the chance to again. Such an incredible time and it make me so happy to see you tour it!

[@josedelarosa909]

Im from California... Im trying to plan vacation just to go to Animal Kingdom! This place looks amazing! Watched & Liked 👍🏼👍🏼

[@gemevans1152]

"& heres some flamingoes, & then theres some...oh my! Oh my goodness! Baby ducks! Baby ducks everywhere!"😂

[@elizabethmills1286]

The baby ducks look so cute!

[@cowpuddles4851]

Took my kids here over a decade ago. Wish I could go back and relive those memories, but this video helps. Thank you!

[@ToniSuzanne13]

I absolutely love these resort tours! They are so thorough. And now I really really need that crispy chicken BLT.

[@MelphabasWorld]

This resort is hugeee and so beautiful ! Thanks for giving us a tour I really love it ! Favorite part was Tim drinking the apple water 😂

[@KMK99]

Had lunch at Sanaa on Saturday. Great view of the animals.

[@moonstonepearl21]

Lol. I love how that mail box is a hippo with an open mouth. I just find that really amusing.

[@lisa4bells]

My sister works for this lodge. One year for my birthday we ate at Boma and then we had a private safari tour of the savannah. Got to wear night vision goggles and the giraffes came right up to us. Not allowed to touch, but so so cool!

[@LisaLoves]

Looks absolutely stunning. Totally out of my pocket, but SO nice to see inside.

[@j7022b]

Stayed in this hotel 2 years ago in kindani village, first time at disney and my love of animals and safaris this was definitely a good hotel to pick was amazing service was amazing nothing better than waking up to a giraffe and zebra outside your window

[@roboman34]

the bungalow rooms ...look inside so cool.....Expansive but really cool .....Polynesian Village Resort.....opps.....BUT yea this ones Just as cool .

[@seascape35]

We ate at Boma---an excellent buffet---one of the better places we ever ate at Disney. Very interesting dishes to chose from.

[@karenwade729]

Boma was very good. Vegetarian friendly as well.

[@hayleylouise2155]

My favourite thing about this video is how excited you got over the baby ducks 😂😂 I'm staying here for 14 nights in November and I've never been more excited 😭 xx

[@barbaraclark2795]

I wish you'd show stuff for those of us that are disabled. would like to see motel rooms .

[@nowyuseemenowyudie]

Lol had me dying at the “parkour!” Lmao 😂

[@nostalgiaguru9850]

Excellent, going to be at Kidani in June with extended family of 9 (one 4yo girl), celebrating my retirement. Now, I feel like I know my way around!

[@moonstonepearl21]

It almost looked like those baby ducks went to that separate area to go for a swim lesson. Lol. So cute!!!!!!!!!! They were so little!

[@caroleezekiel6000]

FYI, they have a van to shuttle you between Kidani and Jambo House, and it's free. You don't have to walk. We rode it a couple of times when we stayed at Kidani and ate at Jambo House. You may have to wait a few minutes, but it beats walking!

[@leevickers9785]

Thank you Tim. Hard to decide where to stay still but you sure helped. Seeing all from your point of view is perfect! Don’t stop ! Thank you.

[@tracywhite9946]

Staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort in a couple of weeks for the first time! Thanks for elevating my excitement level to an 11!! It is a beautiful, thorough tour and greatly appreciated!

[@vegirunner4681]

My problem with staying at Jambo House (and in the Savanna view rooms) is that we only see the nocturnal animals because we spend the days in the parks! It is really an amazing hotel and great for families if you can afford it. Jiko, the Cooking Place is absolutely delicious. You will need a reservation 7 days a week.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

I love all of AKL, but Kidani is my favorite! It's so relaxing and feels much more secluded than most Disney resorts. FYI there is a shuttle that runs between the two hotels, so you don't have to walk between them.

[@MsDippindonuts]

I purchased a bamboo plant with a little giraffe planter on our last visit. They box it quite well and I just carried it on the plane for our flight home-no problems. Great video-thanks for sharing!

[@Admcglka]

Jiko is incredible! I go every time I’m in Disney.

[@agoodcolorisorange]

Lol at parkour!

[@ThatDisneyPinGuy]

I've really been enjoying your resort tours Tim. I of course love the park vlogs but it's neat seeing the peripheries. I know those who might be planning vacations probably really like them also.

[@bridgetclement6086]

Love AKL. Stayed in Savannah view for my Disneymoon in 2011. Got Upgraded to Club level as a Surprise

[@kimnight6650]

My family are DVC members and Kidani is our home resort. We will be over in Florida this summer so and we will be staying here. It’s our second home.

[@brodi28]

You guys should do the safari tour there if you ever get the chance! You do a tour of the savannah and end it with a family style meal at Jiku, definitely a one of a kind experience. We stayed there and had a balcony overlooking the savannah, it was awesome to wake up and see giraffes and other animals walking around.

[@Hidden340]

Ah I remember staying at animal kingdom when I was little. Still one of the best weeks. Definitely miss it a lot

[@foxsake1958]

Bay ducks baby ducks!!!! Love it!!!

[@k1tkat-kate]

I love these resort tours. It's like I'm there myself!!! Boy do savanna views and palm trees sound nice right about now...... (says the Canadian, from under her blanket, looking out the window at 10 cm of snow)

[@itstoughtobeabailey]

Aw man I was hoping you’d do this next month when I’m there lol I was hoping to run into you!

[@dixielandfarm]

Our second favorite resort... we are lucky to have DVC so we stay there more than we normally could afford. Kidani and jambo are both wonderful.

[@joannesnider6580]

As you started down the dead end hallway, I was yelling "No! No! It's a dead end!" I knew this because my daughter and I did the EXACT same thing last December when we were there after eating breakfast at Boma.

[@ComicContent2002]

I'm staying here for the second time since 2010 this summer. Happy to venture back.

[@GsMamaBear]

The best part about this video was watching it with my 9-yr old daughter and we laughed so hard when Tim spotted the baby ducks!! Oh man, we laughed so hard that our sides were hurting. We even went back and watched it an additional 2 times!! Just hilarious and so adorable! I loved this video, it definitely made me want to check out this resort for future stays! Thanks Tim

[@dumshark6873]

Once got upgraded from Pop Century to Animal Kingdom. It was every bit as beautiful as the camera shows it to be. Great stuff Tim

[@callumblack1553]

I was there in my opinion best resort I’ve been to it’s amazing the pools giant. And the rooms are good waking up everyday to African wildlife

[@thomastime5372]

21 minutes in “Parkour!” LOL. 🤣

[@gavindean]

Bah hahah Parkour!! Jenn you have a wicked sense of humour love it!😂😂

[@TheDisneyNerds]

Yay AKL is my favorite resort! We stayed at kidani in September and fell in love!

[@kristinagusella4189]

We totally set aside a day to just hang out at the resort when we head here next month! My biggest regret from our last trip was not saving enough time to enjoy the Yacht Club, that sandy bottom pool was incredible.

[@maryruthjohnson7445]

that slide at Animal Kingdom Lodge is the best. 😂

[@kazhastell1099]

Aww bless Tim oh my baby ducks lol 😂 x fab vid x

[@garbage854]

Yes I stayed there with family about 7 year's ago. a really neat place :)

[@rorydloughran]

Parkour! 21:00 That cracked me up.

[@PrinceApollo117]

Timtracker, you my essential virtual Disney guy.

[@Matt_from_Florida]

33:20 Many of the "pretty palms" all over our fair state are not indigenous, including the ubiquitous Coconut Palm. People used to not care about such things, and frankly neither do I. I'm too spoiled by my childhood spent collecting coconuts off the ground for free. Anyhow, the one they now always plant beside the interstate and state highways is the Sabal palmetto, because it's the state tree (as it is for South Carolina also).

[@seascape35]

Flamingos are not native to Florida either. But have been used especially in the past to promote tourism.

[@michael9000]

Looking forward to see, not only this resort re-opening, Boma as well.

[@BobTravis1616]

That parkour joke killed me. Lol

[@TheVarietyGuyTV]

Stayed here for a couple of days and while it’s a long walk from most rooms to the lobby, the views are incredible!

[@marciemahaffey8932]

Stayed at Jambo house in December. Overall great. Downside: very dark inside public areas, quick services not great, long transportation rides.. Beautiful overall.. Forgot to say Boma is Amazing!!

[@CPGagliano]

ugh so many cute baby duckies

[@ncchic0221]

Does the Joe Rhode outfit come with its own gigantic earring?
