"It's not exactly luxurious -- subpar bedding; constant crowds; long lines -- but the 727-room Wilderness Lodge is still a superb family resort." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The setting resembles that of the great national parks of the Northwest, with towering pines, a spewing geyser, and rough rocky terrain surrounding a spectacular pool."
Rough Guide Star
"This magnificent, oversized replica of a frontier log cabin is furnished with massive totem poles, a wood-burning fire in the lobby, and Southern-style rocking chairs."
Fodor's "The architects outdid themselves in designing this seven-story hotel modeled after majestic turn-of-the-20th-century lodges in the American Northwest." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A towering lobby filled with totem poles, a replica geyser, and a waterfall-fed rock pool—this Orlando fantasy channels America's national parks to uncanny effect." Full review

Take a ride on a pony or in a horse-drawn carriage.
Gayot "Even if you don’t stay there, the Wilderness Lodge is a can’t-miss attraction at Walt Disney World."
The Telegraph8.0
"The iconic lodges of America’s National Parks are recreated in this immense log cabin style resort complete with pine forest, babbling indoor-outdoor stream, and a waterfall that flows into the swimming pool." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Just a boat ride from the Magic Kingdom, this resort gives you the best of both worlds: convenience and relaxation." Full review
Frommer's "This effective riff on Yellowstone’s woody Old Faithful Lodge, swaddled by oaks and pines, is picturesque and the least expensive of the Deluxe category" Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice

DK Eyewitness "Six distinctive “villages”, with six different Caribbean islands as their theme, comprise this inviting resort."
Rough Guide "Rooms are located in one of six “island villages”, each with its own pool and beach surrounded by nicely landscaped grounds."
Fodor's "A series of palm-studded "villages," awash in dizzying pastels and labeled with names straight from Pirates of the Caribbean, each with its own pool, form this Disney value resort." Full review
Gayot "Spacious, colorful resort filled with Disney magic and nature's beauty."
OysterMid-Range
"The mid-range Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort is a massive complex with 2,112 rooms and six separate man-made islands surrounding a picturesque lake." Full review
Frommer's "Like Coronado Springs, this resort is sprawling with a central pond—1.4 miles around!—except there's an island theme." Full review
Lonely Planet "A Disney taste of the islands means painted beds, pastel rooms, a food court that looks like a street festival during Carnival and a pool with a vague resemblance to ancient temple ruins." Full review
