Ostrich Lamps at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House: The Everyday Adventures Of the Purple Van September 27, 2009
The lamp standards on either side of this staircase probably have an official name, but I just call them the ostrich lamps. This the the lobby of Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House. There are several different birds featured, but the ostriches at the top are the most prominent.
And, the lamps themselves are in the shape of ostrich eggs. Just more of the amazing detail in this resort.
The ostrich lamps are at he rear of the lobby and flank the staircase that goes down to the animal viewing area.
This photo was taken from the bottom of those stairs looking up into the lobby. You can also see some of the other design elements that make this resort special--like the bridge. Even if you aren't staying there, make sure you stop by for a drink or a meal or just to have a look. Yeah, there are lots of animals outside.but there are also some spectacular sights inside!
