Buildings 7 and 9 are closest to animation hall (tied if walking through the resort), however if you plan on using your own transportation (not Disney transport) I'd recommend 9 as it is more convenient in that sense. Building 7 would be my preference because almost all rooms have resort, and not parking lot views. I don't have specific room numbers but all you have to do is request a room closest to the lion king section and I'm sure Disney will be happy to accommodate you! I had a great time and it's a beautiful resort, hope you have fun!
