What is the best time of the year to visit Animal Kingdom Lodge?

Like most Disney parks, the best time to visit Disney's Animal Kingdom is in January or September when the weather is mild, crowds are thin, and the prices have plummeted. Head to the Animal Kingdom first thing in the morning on the right day of the week, and you'll spot plenty of animals on Kilimanjaro Safaris.
