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."

Ask for a Savannah View room, which offers vistas of Animal Kingdom's grazing animals from its private balcony.
Gayot "Adjacent to the Walt Disney World theme park, the resort is set next to 33 acres of tropical savanna that's home to about 40 species of wildlife."
The Telegraph9.0
"Africa comes to central Florida in this fantasy game lodge, where giraffes, zebras, and other grazing animals roam just beyond your window." Full review
Travel + Leisure "From your balcony at this African-themed Orlando lodge, you just might spot a giraffe, bongo, or wildebeest roaming the surrounding savannah." Full review

Don't miss the safari at the resort's companion Animal Kingdom theme park.

DK Eyewitness "Rooms have private balconies, many offering views of Disney, and there are lushly landscaped grounds."
Frommer's "Another motel-grade tourist machine on Hotel Plaza Boulevard, the congested road leading to Downtown Disney, this 18-story hotel is older and could use a brush-up." Full review

"This Best Western is like many mid-range properties in the Disney area; it offers affordable rates and a location within easy reach of Disney attractions." Full review
Gayot "A deceptively secluded, all-inclusive sky-rise hotel tucked in tropical gardens in the heart of Disney's cluster of theme parks."
