Disneyworld 2007 - The Arrival

Having just returned from another wonderful vacation to Disneyworld, we are now rested and relaxed, though we would be happy to return at any time!

We started our journeys Thursday, flying through Denver on Frontier Airlines. For the most part the trip was uneventful. After we arrived in Orlando and experienced the most efficient transportation system on earth, the Disney Magical Express. Very impressive. Then we arrived at the most beautiful hotel we have stayed at, the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
The arrival area, our first impression of the lodge.

We were greeted with Mickey Mouse ears on our bed made out of towels.

The lobby is large and expansive, decorated with African art throughout the lobby (and hotel). There are numerous gathering spots throughout the lobby, some with fire pits, others with views of the savanna.

The attention to detail through the lodge is very impressive.

The view outside of the room off the balcony were a peaceful savanna with giraffes, zebras, gazelles, kudus, impalas,and Ankole Cattle roaming throughout the area along with birds native to the African continent such as hornbills, spoonbills, cranes, flamingos, storks, ostrichs, pelicans, and vultures.
