Frequently Asked Questions: Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

How does DisScan alert me for Animal Kingdom Lodge cancellations?

DisScan scans Disney World’s live resort inventory API in the background and sends an instant SMS with a direct Disney booking URL the millisecond a room or savanna view opening is detected.

What is the cancellation deadline for Disney World resort hotels?

Room-only reservations can be cancelled penalty-free up to 5 days prior to check-in, and vacation packages up to 30 days prior. These deadlines trigger major cancellation surges where sold-out rooms reappear.
