DK Eyewitness "The monorail passes right through the middle of this concrete resort, where the rooms have recently undergone a complete renovation."
Rough Guide "Disney monorail runs right through the centre of this hotel, which takes its exterior design from the futuristic fantasies of the Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland."
Fodor's "You're paying for location at this sleek, modern, luxury resort next to the Magic Kingdom, as the monorail runs right through the lobby, making park hopping a breeze." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Contemporary is one of Disney’s original resorts, and it’s a favorite among kids both because it’s home to both Chef Mickey’s and the Monorail cuts right through the hotel." Full review
Gayot "Spectacular views and convenient monorail station highlight this futuristic Disney icon."

"Disney's Contemporary Resort has been extensively refurbished but still includes the monorail track running through the vast, enclosed foyer, providing a genuine Disney feel good experience." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Why book? This classic Disney resort has the best amenity possible—its backyard is the Magic Kingdom." Full review
Frommer's "A midcentury architectural treasure, and indicative of the revolutionary methods that Walt Disney World hoped to pioneer...even if you can’t stay here, this is the best hotel to tour. " Full review
Lonely Planet "The granddaddy of Disney resorts, the Contemporary's futuristic A-frame opened Walt Disney World in 1971 but feels uninspired and disappointing by today's standards." Full review

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
