"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."
Fodor's
"The view across the lake to the Magic Kingdom is spectacular, day or night, as you can see the colors change on the Cinderella Castle along with the fireworks."

DK Eyewitness
"An array of restaurants, a premier golf club, a spectacularly landscaped pool and play area, and beautifully decorated spacious rooms are all combined with exceptional service."
Rough Guide
"It’s the recreational activities on offer – a giant lagoon-shaped swimming pool, full-service spa and manicured golf course – that are the main draws."
Star Service
"An easy 5- to 10-minute shuttle ride from the Magic Kingdom, depending on traffic, Orlando World Center Marriott remains a fresh if frantic option."
