Concierge "By far the most interesting Disney-run hotel—and the best choice for guests who aren't enamored of the company's mythology."
Fodor's "Entering the vast atrium lobby is like entering a cathedral with a roof formed of thatch rather than marble." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The impressive glass wall in the lobby overlooks a vast savanna that allows for random sightings of birds, giraffe, and other wildlife."
Rough Guide Star
"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."
Michelin Guide "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."

"With the atmosphere of a small village, this sprawling resort is dotted with swimming pools and restaurants, and has activities for the kids."
Gayot "This sprawling 135-acre complex typifies the upscale, suburban, gated townhouse communities that are commonly found in Florida."
Zagat3.8
"A "one-stop vacation location", this "enjoyable" Orlando timeshare resort feels like a "home away from home" thanks to "spacious", "comfortable" villas that "have everything"."
Star Service "Goes both ways, offering self-sufficient types a solid base, though a surprising variety of dining options and the chipper staff please those in search of something more akin to a full-service hotel." Full review
