On the ground floor of the resort, near the Arcade, the Pool area, and The Mara, you can find one guest laundry facility–available to guests for use and well-equipped with washers, dryers, and vending machines for soap and dryer sheets. Washers and dryers are standard size and cost $2 each per use. Soap and dryer sheets are $1 each. The second laundry facility available to Lodge guests is on the second floor, Kudu Trail.

Across the hallway from the laundry facility is AKL’s well-appointed childcare center–Simba’s Clubhouse (actually, it’s “Cubhouse,” but it’s usually not pronounced that way). 
Note Animal Kingdom Lodge no longer offers Camp Kidani or Bush Camp however between Jambo House and Kidani Village there are a wide variety of Cultural Activities that make this resort a fantastic place for kids.
