This small Disney World hotel addition is a seriously HUGE deal for us!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
When we stay at a Disney World hotel, there are some things we count on looking forward to each time, from ultra-detailed theming to on-site perks. Now, don’t get us wrong, those things are still awesome. But on our recent stay at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, the thing that thrilled us the MOST was a seemingly tiny addition in our hotel bathroom!
Animal Kingdom Lodge has TONS of major selling points, like the incredible dining options, gorgeous decor, and, of course, those breathtaking savanna views, complete with live animals!

And in between marveling at all of the regular hotel features, on our recent stay, we also noticed that our hotel bathroom now came equipped with BOTH bar soap and pump soap!
As lots of longtime Disney World visitors have been painfully aware, for a loooooong stretch of time, Disney World hotel rooms only had bar hand soap. Ya know, sometimes it’s the little things that make a HUGE difference in our experience, so we were THRILLED to see this change…and we weren’t the only ones!
Pump soap AND bar soap!
We shared a post about the soap update on Instagram, and we got TONS of comments from people equally excited about the change, like @j0ooyyyy, who said, “I used to pack my own pump soap lmao.”
No more need to pack your own!
Seriously, SO many people chimed in sharing their excitement, like @michelaine22, who said, “I am so grateful for the pump soap! I hate the bars!” It just goes to show that the magic really does come from the details!
Welcome, pump soap, we’re THRILLED you’re here!
Some people also commented to share that they stayed at other Disney World hotels recently that also had BOTH pump and bar soap, including Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, so it seems like Animal Kingdom Lodge definitely isn’t the only one that’s been treated to the upgrade!
