This was my first time staying at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. I have stayed at other Deluxe hotels (Yacht Club, Wilderness Lodge, Contemporary, Grand Floridian) and this was by far the best hotel for theming and attention to detail. It may not be as convenient as other hotels (only bus transportation) but it is worth the stay!
