Sunday Spotlight - Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge


Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge® first opened at Walt Disney World® Resort on April 16, 2001, designed by noted architect Peter Dominck, the same architect who designed Disney’s Wilderness Lodge® and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel® & Spa at the Disneyland® Resort.  (In 2009 an expansion by Disney Vacation Club® increased the size of the resort with the addition of Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas®.  At that time the original resort became known as Jambo House with the addition being named Kidani Village).
