[@LokiOfWinterfell]

I love how you are slow and gentle! Some Disney vloggers are hyper and fast , missing details and giving me anxiety 😅 thank you !

[@beeksmcgeeks]

🤣 Thank you! I try to show as much details as possible. I do have a two bedroom OKW tour coming up that us a little hurried bc I could hear the kiddos outside!

[@robertlarson3238]

Wow! I never new this hotel had such a room. Thank you so much for sharing . Keep up the great work!

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Thank you so much! We were really blessed to be able to get this room. They whole family went crazy for it. Will try to film as many rooms as I can.

[@chriswhiteauditions]

WOW - this is gorgeous! I've never had an interest in staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge, but this presidential suite is changing that. The spaciousness, design elements, and outdoor space easily make this one of the nicest suites in WDW (if not the nicest). Also, I LOL'd when you said "Oh we gon' find some". 😂😂 Thank you for sharing this tour!

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Hahahaaha!!!!! I try to be eloquent, but my southern roots pop out sometimes in filming.😂 Thank you for your nice comments. I'm glad this changed your mind about staying here. It's my favorite resort on property.

[@truthseeker3909]

The room is $2000 to $3000 a night.

[@wdwexploreandchill]

Thank you, I’ve been wanting to see the room behind that balcony! 😉Absolutely stunning.

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Hi! Thank you so much. If there are any other rooms you would like to see, please let me know. 🙂

[@TheMIkenet]

Honestly really love the music on the TV haha

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Same. I need to find it for listening to at home.

[@jemlovestfm]

Thank you for giving the room number! This is an amazing room.

[@beeksmcgeeks]

@@jemlovestfm absolutely! We had fun filming. 🙂

[@donnaschwartz585]

This was so magical! Beyond words!

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@jenniferrundle6870]

Omg. New bucket list item! Thanks for showing us around!

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Absolutely! So blessed to have the opportunity to do so. 🙂

[@jenniferrundle6870]

@@beeksmcgeeks is this club level by the way?

[@beeksmcgeeks]

@jenniferrundle6870 yes! And the staff was out of this world. They remembered everyone's names and had things waiting that my family liked. We also had special desserts in our room every night that were not in the lounge. The fridge was also stocked every day with drinks and food for us without asking.

[@toddhensley880]

Wow! This suite is stunning!

[@beeksmcgeeks]

It really was. It would be a blessing to stay there again.:)

[@PurposelyReRouted]

Wow! This is unbelievable! So amazing and beautiful such a special stay for a special occasion ❤

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Thank you! AKL is by far our favorite.

[@olafpamela]

OMG 😮 it's bigger than our 🏡 Thanks for sharing ❤ never have seen this suit before 👍❤️😀

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Bigger than mine, too! Thank you for the kind words.

[@MrKarmapolice97]

Yeah that’s amazing I’d love to stay in that room, Love Animal Kingdom Lodge

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Thank you! I'd love to go back.

[@donnam1257]

Great job filming. We stayed in the DVC grand villa which seemed to have a similar amount of floorspace, but a third bedroom. This one has the artwork which takes it up a notch, a huge notch!

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Thank you! And you can't beat the Club Lounge here. The staff was amazing. Also, all of that food and beverage in our fridge got restocked every day! Was very nice to have that at the ready without having to leave the room.

[@donnadonnyy]

Amazing. This must be the largest balcony on property. Thanks for sharing!

[@beeksmcgeeks]

My nephews ran laps EVERY DAY on that balcony. Thank you for the kind words.

[@DisneyCableMagic]

I live here now. 😍

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Fr fr!!!!! It is so much nicer than any place I've stayed before. I literally went home and bought the same pillows they have on the beds. They are so comfy!

[@johnrundle959]

Caught another video of this from 2006 it looks like. There was a cool draping over the master bedroom canopy and a treadmill on the balcony! Wonder what in people's behaviors necessitated pulling those things...sigh. Great vid though!

[@beeksmcgeeks]

I wish the treadmill were still there! That would have been so cool to run while watching the animals. 🦒🦓 Thank you for the compliment!

[@tina-louisetrepanier6672]

Loved your video! Good job! How much is this room a night and did you have a hard time reserving it.

[@beeksmcgeeks]

I think it was the Lord letting us get it, for real. It just popped up one day, and we were so excited to book it. I know it's rare, but you can find discounts on this room and other suites. Rack Rate is 2-5k a night, depending on the time of year you plan to stay. I hope that helps. And I hope you can find it available when you want it! :)

[@tina-louisetrepanier6672]

@@beeksmcgeeks Thanks so much!

[@bobconnor6164]

Beautiful suite! I’d be interested to know if there are any perks included! Does Disney throw anything in with it?

[@beeksmcgeeks]

The nightly turndown had special treats each night. I have pictures of those on my Instagram: Beeks.McGeeks Other than that, it was the same concierge as the rest of the club. They club staff is great at ALK. We paid for all additional offerings they helped us set up.

[@Douglas-1994]

How did you get to stay in this amazing place?

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Thanks for asking! We called Disney's reservation line. Every Deluxe resort (non-DVC) has a presidential (and some VP as well) suite. They aren't always advertised on the website. However, if you call, you can check availability and rates for these rooms. Hope that helps. 😊

[@lisathomas1622]

I know you’re a conscientious person, so please don’t take this wrong, I’m just telling you some fun facts. The design of the buildings and the art at that hotel has a phenomenal background. More than any other on property and I think you will be pleased to know this. They hired actual architects and artists and builders from all over Africa to design this resort. So it’s not Animal Lodge or Kingdom art, it’s traditional African art, copied from their culture. They asked to have copies reproduced vs buying their sentimental artifacts though a few items were gifted them to them and are labeled in the lobby. The baskets on the walls in all halls and rooms wherever you find them were all hand made as well the woven lights. The last shots you showed were traditional patterns for their formal and daily wear. The painted shields on the ceiling lights were done by the ancestors of warrior men carrying on the tradition of the arts and dances but not the wars in the lobby. They have a lot of meaning in the shapes they chose, though to us it’s just nice shapes in a design. Every shape had a meaning, and the color they chose too.all very symbolic. When the resort first opened they had interesting greeters from Africa who gave pretty extensive tours and when we had ours it happened that only our family was there… we got to ask a lot of questions. It was very educational. I was very pleased Disney followed Walt’s tradition of finding the most qualified people to research and design the place as authentically as possible. We’re DVC members, so I knew about these choices before going, but what I didn’t know was we would get to meet so many of the artisans ! And people from Africa on the staff. They are amazing friendly people. I had a tenant recently from there who has returned, and he is such a sweetheart of a man. We really got along well. We still chat and catch up once in awhile. I’m hoping to attend his wedding. I would be very excited to meet his family and see his country. He makes it sound lovely and interesting, very interesting.

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Wow, what cool info and history you were able to obtain! Thanks for sharing all of your learned knowledge from AKL. I appreciate you taking the time to type it all up.

[@GENERALGILMAN]

What’s the price tag for a place like this and how many people?

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Rack rate on this room is anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 a night, depending on the season. Discounts can absolutely be found for this room, such as Floroda Resident or Annual Passholder. It very comfortably sleeps 6. The primary room sleeps 2, and the 2nd bedroom sleeps 4. Hope that helps!

[@tarazieminek1947]

How many spectators seats does one actually need in their bedroom. Shouldn't one be sufficient? 😂

[@beeksmcgeeks]

It's definitely a room designed for important people with assistants or secret service... not us at that time. 🤣🤣🤣 It did make a nice place to lay out outfits for the next day.

[@maddiehausinger2588]

How do you book this?

[@beeksmcgeeks]

It popped up on the website the day we were looking for our trip and we snatched it up! I have seen other Presidential Suites on the site before as well. You can call the reservation line and ask about that room specifically. They are often booked up when I look. Hope you find what you are looking for! 🙂

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Can you tell us the cost of this?

[@beeksmcgeeks]

@BAKER22-l4u of course! At the time of us staying there, it was around 3k a night. I've seen it go higher during peak seasons. Hope this helps.

[@BAKER22-l4u]

i stayed there once for free😊

[@beeksmcgeeks]

Wow! That must have been so cool! It was such a lovely room.

[@nycp1969]

This is much much nicer than the studios, which I find very bland for the price point.

[@beeksmcgeeks]

It was nice treat to stay here, for sure! My favorite room I have ever stayed in my far.

Gosh you have beautiful eyes

[@bustercherry2054]

This can be your for only 3000 a noght

You're not wrong... but it does sleep a lot of people and comes with world-class service.
