Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

The stars of the show here are the animals, of course. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is surrounded by more than 30 acres filled with over 200 animals, including zebras and giraffes. Book a “Savanna View” room to watch them graze and mingle underneath you, or take a safari with a guided tour.

The hotel lobby has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the preserve as well. There’s also an 11,000 square-foot pool with waterfalls and one of the largest collections of African art in the world. To boot, most of the on-site restaurants feature African-inspired cuisine.
