Colorful, interesting, with unique and one-of-a-kind merchandise, the Zawadi Marketplace may well be the best resort gift shop in all of Walt Disney World.

The African themes of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge open up entirely new possibilities for the Disney merchandisers and shoppers will discover a great deal more here than just the usual plush, pins, and pens found elsewhere.

There are a variety of handmade crafts including carved wooden animals, toys, masks, drums, and baskets.  Brightly-colored pottery incorporates Disney details into traditional designs and artwork celebrates the beauty of  the African continent.  Even the apparel items have a special flair, sporting elements from the savannah – animal prints and safari-inspired design.  Look for interesting textiles, unusual household items and decorative accessories, and plush characters dressed for the bush.

Open from 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., the Zawadi Marketplace at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Jambo House has a direct outside entrance from the walkway in front of the resort and is also accessible from the lobby.
