 Designed by Peter Dominick of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge fame, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge will follow the kraal African village design, a semi-circle concept with a distinctive "theme" carried throughout its architecture, landscape, and interior designs. "We’re trying to capture an image that is not only symbolic of Africa but is culturally relevant," says project manager Jim Kwasnowski of Walt Disney Imagineering. The visual treat will begin on arrival as Guests discover a rolling, 33-acre plain unfolding before them through one of the Resort’s larger-than-life picture windows. Here Guests can walk along the elevated kopje, or 
rock outcropping, and enjoy a nearly panoramic
view of roaming animals and flowing streams.
Throughout the Resort, Guests will discover examples
of authentic African architecture
and design, from thatched ceilings to rich wood and
golden tones. Features include a large mud fireplace
in the lobby and natural lighting fixtures designed to
accentuate spectacular sunrises and sunsets. At night,
incandescent lighting will resemble twinkling
fireflies and soft-glowing campfires.
