Guests staying at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — Jambo House are greeted by such a spectacularly decorated lobby that they may be overwhelmed and not even notice the amazing items on display! If you get a moment, stop and look around at all the artifacts on display.

You’ll spot tons of items from various African cultures, including jewelry, artwork, and so much more. We could spend half a day just reading the plaques and learning all the details about these interesting pieces!
The Crescent Solarium at Beach Club
Disney World is full of great places to stop and unwind, but one near the top of our list has to be the Crescent Solarium at the Beach Club Resort. Here, you’ll find multiple tables, couches, and cushy chairs, perfect for lounging.

Grab a table by the window for a lovely view or sprawl out on a couch for something cozier. Whether you’re here alone or with family and friends, this might be a great spot to spend part of your “resort day!”
Trader Sam’s at the Polynesian Resort
Did you really stay at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort if you didn’t check out Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto? While not open right now, this tucked-away bar is hidden behind an inconspicuous door, but there’s so much inside to see.

Besides unique drink options, this spot is full of ridiculous antics and so many fun artifacts. The bar isn’t too big, so there’s a limited number of people allowed inside, but that just makes it more exclusive and cool!
