Concierge "You can't pick a more dreamily convenient Disney hotel—it's a single monorail stop away from the Magic Kingdom, and four from Epcot."
Fodor's "The view across the lake to the Magic Kingdom is spectacular, day or night, as you can see the colors change on the Cinderella Castle along with the fireworks." Full review
