A Village Come to Life: Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas DVC Special (2007)

Welcome to the Heart of the Savanna

A new community is emerging from the wonders of the wild—a village alive with the spirit of the savanna. Welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas, where nature, storytelling, and Disney’s magic unite to create an unforgettable vacation home experience.

A Village That Comes to Life

Originally created in 2007, this promotional program introduced viewers to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas through stunning visuals, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes interviews. The special includes commentary from Disney Imagineers, designers, and even Roy Disney himself, helping to convey the inspiration behind this one-of-a-kind Disney Vacation Club property.

Designed with Magic and Purpose

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas were designed to transport guests into an authentic African lodge setting. The show walks viewers through the design philosophy behind the expansive savanna views, cultural authenticity, and resort amenities that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. With wildlife roaming just outside your window and architecture inspired by authentic African villages, it’s more than a place to stay—it’s a journey.
