"The seeming isolation of the location of this 1,064-room luxury tower... lends the property an enviable natural tranquility that nearly all other Orlando mega-hotels lack."

"You can't pick a more dreamily convenient Disney hotel—it's a single monorail stop away from the Magic Kingdom, and four from Epcot."
