I want to tell you about a fun, free activity at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, available to guests and non-guests alike.
I recently stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge – Jambo House. It was a fantastic stay at a great Disney resort. The room was fabulous, the food was fabulous and I got it for a sweet 40% off regular rates with the military room discount. They have lots of fun activities available, but one of the coolest is the animal viewing using NVGs.
The animal viewing takes place nightly between 2100-2130hrs at the Uzima Overlook. Head out past the pool and keep continuing to the left as far as you can go. The outside lights are off in that area but you’ll be able to find your way well enough. As you near the overlook you’ll see a line of people, just join the line it moves fairly quickly. At the front of the line there’ll be some Disney cast members running the viewing. They have several sets of NVGs which they pass from guest to guest. As each guest finishes with the goggles the cast member cleans them with a wipe and passes them to the next guest.
There were quite a few animals for us to look at, some close and some further away. we saw giraffes, zebras, and some antelope. The giraffes were our favorites. The animals were quite clear and bright through the goggles. We weren’t rushed and took out time. It was a fun, quite atmosphere, people whispering and enjoying the new experience in the cool evening.
If you have the chance I recommend trying this neat experience! It’s another great free thing to do at Disney.
