I am proud to announce a new regular feature at Only WDWorld: Kid’s Eye View.

This is Disney World from a kid’s perspective, namely my almost 10 year old daughter Madison. She is already a Disney World veteran with over 10 trips under her belt.


The views presented are hers with only minor editing. If you have comments, please submit them, as I am sure Madison would be more than willing to respond.

Her initial report gives her views and opinions of the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Take it away Madison….

Hello, this week I’m going to talk about the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The lodge is as close as you can be to the Animal Kingdom. If you’re lucky you can get a room with a savannah view, which means that you can see all of the wonderful animals, such as: zebras, antelope, wildebeests, giraffes, peacocks, and more.

I would like to comment on the inside of the rooms. I applaud the use of the African themes that are seen in the authentic looking tables, beds, and the fabric. There are also wonderful porches.











I want to tell you about something that you don’t want to miss: Night Vision Goggles! Want to see animals up close, well here is your chance. I highly recommend it. Best of all it is free. I love giraffes up close. I even named my favorite ostrich: Osto.



While writing this article it made me think of zebra domes. Should I explain? I think so. Zebra domes are these tasty treats that you can get at the Animal Kingdom Lodge’s restaurants and food court. With a chocolate covering and a creamy center, zebra domes taste heavenly.

Here’s one more thing to do. Listen to an African story told by a wonderful storyteller. You will soon be enchanted. You also get to sit in rocking chairs near the huge fire ring.

That’s my Kid’s Eye View of the Animal Kingdom Lodge!
