"By far the most interesting Disney-run hotel—and the best choice for guests who aren't enamored of the company's mythology."

"Entering the vast atrium lobby is like entering a cathedral with a roof formed of thatch rather than marble."

"The impressive glass wall in the lobby overlooks a vast savanna that allows for random sightings of birds, giraffe, and other wildlife."

"One of Disney’s most spectacular luxury hotels, where from some of the rooms... you can wake up to see wildlife grazing outside your window."

"When booking a reservation at this horseshoe shaped lodge, ask for a Savannah View room, which offers vistas of Animal Kingdom's grazing animals from its private balcony."

"Often overlooked as it is not on the main thoroughfare, this casual hotel has plenty to offer, including large comfortable rooms, suites for larger families, and a pool."

"Nicer than its price point should permit, this hotel is clean, impeccably run, attractively appointed in a Spanish style, and located 10 minutes from Disney."

"Very modern lobby, with its glass-roofed, kite-filled tower atrium, muted colors, contemporary furnishings, and linen sheers over floor-to-ceiling windows, is typical of the hotel's low-key elegance."
