But let's get down to business. Unfortunately, Harley, the pools at each Disney hotel are reserved exclusively for the Guests staying at that particular hotel.

You cannot simply refuse to pay resort fees, but — just as some hotel employees are occasionally empowered to compensate you — the employee might have authority to remove your resort fee. Just understand that this is the exception, not the norm. And while it doesn't hurt to ask, it helps to ask nicely.
Book an award stay with hotel loyalty points. One of the best strategies for avoiding resort fees comes when you use travel rewards to cover the cost of your stay. However, it's important to note that not all hotel points can help you avoid paying those pesky resort fees.

Full day park if you want to do everything & savor it. With good crowds, and doing almost everything, Animal Kingdom is like a 85% of your day park. Magic Kingdom is like a day and a half park.
Some Guests feel that Disney's Animal Kingdom park is a half-day park. But you and I know that those naysayers are incorrect! With so much to do and see throughout the park, my family and I always plan to spend an entire day at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It also happens to be our favorite of the four Theme Parks.
Your hotel loses money when you hold a spot for a guest that doesn't show up. Recoup some of these losses by collecting a fee when guests fail to show up or cancel a booking on short notice.
Yes, you can often negotiate hotel prices. Directly call the hotel for potentially lower rates, ask about any discounts or package deals, be flexible with dates or room type, negotiate for longer stays, and ask if they can match lower prices found elsewhere. Always be polite and patient during negotiations.
If a stay in a hotel for less than a month you can be locked out of your room if you do not pay the daily rate or if you break some rule of the hotel.

Having just returned from the lovely Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge I can say with confidence that there were no offensive smells, and I had giraffe friends right outside of my balcony! You will just love the grand lobby, beautiful architecture and authentic cultural experiences!
