Animal Kingdom Lodge

Most of the resorts at Walt Disney World have running trails on the property, but Animal Kingdom Lodge does not. They do however have a path that goes between the buildings that make up the property.

Even if you’re not staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge, there are plenty of reasons you may want to visit it. Maybe you’re dining at one of their very popular restaurants: Boma or Sanaa. Maybe you’re resort hopping for a non-park ticket day. Or maybe you just want to take a break and watch the animals roam the grounds. We highly recommend one or all of the activities mentioned, as they are all a great way to spend time at Walt Disney World.  

The layout of Animal Kingdom Lodge can be a little confusing if you’ve never been there.  Animal Kingdom Lodge is separated into two areas: Kidani Village and Jambo House. There is a bus that will bring you between the two, but busses can be crowded and sometimes you have to wait a while for them.  So if you’re in a hurry, don’t want to deal with the busses, or maybe you just prefer walking, here is what you need to know about walking between Jambo House and Kidani Village.
