Originally we were meant to stay at this one lodge for 4 nights, but when it shifted, they could only keep us there for the first 2 nights. But this whole thing was through Disney Vacation Club, a big ol' Disney timeshare where you can use "vacation points" to go to a bunch of Disney resorts everywhere. There are 27 different Disney resorts/resort hotels in the program in Orlando. So we were able to move to a different place for the next two nights. I think J's family had to gift us more points in order to get it done.
We stayed at the
Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Lodge the first two nights. It has an African theme. And giraffes and zebras and ostriches and whatnot, just grazing around outside off your balcony.
I do not ask how J's mom originally decided to invest in this timeshare situation. But this is an large and close family, and once in a while a whole bunch of 'em winds up down there all at once, which is very nice.
Post Dorian, the parks were at half their usual capacity for the next two days. People generally do not shift their Disney vacations by a half week; they move the whole thing to another month, and re-plan everything. With all the fast passes and dinner reservations and a safari at 6:30pm, it takes a lot of planning.
