There is a separate loop that plays in the hotel lobby as well as at the hotel main entrance, and both the Napa Rose and Storyteller's Cafe have their own music loops.

Duration: 2:20:18

Notes:

With the exception of Track 29, which was probably mislabeled as Yo Ralom by DJ LMNOP (my nickname for the person who put this loop together), these tracks all play in alphabetical order. It's hard to believe, I know, but absolutely true!

This loop could also be heard in the Entrance and Lobby areas during the Animal Kingdom Lodge's first two years of operation. All 29 tracks continue to be featured as part of the expanded Uzima Pool & Savanna [2008] loop.

Warning: Some iTunes and Amazon MP3 links are for alternate releases that can have vastly different playing times. If you are a stickler for detail, you will want to purchase the actual CDs as used by WDE to assemble this loop.

on Vuyani (Celebrate)
CD | iTunes | MP3

Notes:

This loop was originally conceived as a 3-CD set, as evidenced by the way the tracks fall alphabetically, but it has never actually been featured in its entirety. Why? Who knows. A much better question is why is someone at WDE (I like to refer to him as DJ LMNOP) putting these loops together in alphabetical order in the first place?!

Below are rough estimates as to when each disc has been featured at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. As I can't possibly visit the resort every day, these dates represent nothing more than my best guesses.

Disc 1: 2007 to January 2009
Disc 2: November 2002 to April 2004; February 2009 to Present Day
Disc 3: April 2004 to 2007

Warning: Some iTunes and Amazon MP3 links are for alternate releases that can have vastly different playing times. If you are a stickler for detail, you will want to purchase the actual CDs as used by WDE to assemble this loop.
