Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge: 13 Things You Need To Know

11. It€™s Not Close To The Action

Animal Kingdom Lodge is a whopping 12 miles away from the Magic Kingdom, the furthest distance away of any Disney Resort hotel. As with all hotels on site, Disney provides free transport to all of its theme parks, but the only mode of transport available to guests of this hotel is the bus. Although at first thought that doesn€™t seem too bad, wait until the fireworks are over and you€™re stood in a queue waiting to board a packed bus to take you back to the hotel. You should note that it will take you around an hour to get back to your hotel after spending an evening watching Wishes. After 30 minutes standing up on that bus (which was still trying to get out of Magic Kingdom at that), you will be dreaming of the monorail.
