By the end of the year, ALL of the current Disney World resorts will have reopened!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Even though we are still waiting on a few more resorts to reopen, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is set to reopen to all guests VERY soon on August 26th! Before that date, Boma is reopening with a buffet and an updated menu. Now, we know another spot at the resort is reopening soon!
Victoria Falls Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is set to reopen this Friday, August 20th! On the Disney World website, hours for the location pop-up starting on that date.

It looks like the lounge will be open from 5PM-12AM, so it’s a great spot to grab a late night snack and/or drink! The menu is slightly more limited in terms of food, and you can only grab food from 5PM-10PM according to the menu online. To eat, you can grab the Braai Burger with Seasoned Fries, Goat Cheese Dip, Marinated Olives with Almonds, and Cape Town Slap Chips!

The drink menu still features plenty of cocktails…
