DK Eyewitness "In the style of a medieval fairytale castle, this popular hotel features fanciful surroundings, gargoyles in the lobby, and a large pool."
Rough Guide "A good-value, elaborate theme hotel, complete with Renaissance music and medieval decor."
Star Service "This imaginative nine-story hotel continues to bear the telltale crenellated profile of its theme park masters." Full review
Frommer's "Most of the hotels along International Drive fall into two categories: gigantic convention-fed pillow mills and nondescript low-rise chain-run pillow mills." Full review
Fodor's "You won't really believe you're in a castle at this midprice hotel, although the whimsical gold-and-silver spires... may make you feel as if you're having a Harry Potter moment." Full review
Gayot "Guests are greeted in the lobby with mosaic-tile murals, arched doorways, Renaissance-era music and piped in nature sounds, for what's just the beginning of a multi-layered storybook affair."

Insight Guides "Inspired by western national-park lodges, this pine lodge has a pioneer theme and a spouting Old Faithful-style geyser near the swimming pool."
Fodor's "Bringing a tent or RV is one of the cheapest ways to stay on WDW property, especially considering that sites in this 700-acre campground can accommodate up to 10." Full review
DK Eyewitness "For a more “back to nature” experience, campsites and cabins are scattered throughout a heavily wooded area."
Rough Guide "A 700-acre site where you can pitch your tent or hook up your RV, or rent an a/c six-berth cabin – a good deal for larger groups."
Michelin Guide "The ultimate in resort self-catering, this collection of log houses and cabins is complemented by campsites designed for pitching tents or hooking up trailers and mobile homes."
Frommer's "This 780-acre wooded enclave near Magic Kingdom consists of campsites, mobile home–style cabins with decks and grills that sleep six, and RV spots." Full review
