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."

Star Service "Comprised of eight low- and high-rise towers encircling a 10-acre man-made lake, this former swampland has been repurposed into a lively resort community. " Full review

Frommer's "This resort caps off a development of more than 1,000 timeshare villas around a pretty 10-acre lake at the south end of Disney property." Full review
Fodor's "Despite being within Mickey's gates, the entry to this family-friendly resort hotel meanders through pristine Florida forest and bamboo-laden landscaping." Full review
