"This 1,000-room Hilton is an oasis of adult calm amid frenetic child-centric Disney World -- literally, as it's actually within the gates of Disney." Full review
Travel + Leisure "While most guests book their stay at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek to visit neighboring Disney World, anywhere else, the hotel would be a destination unto itself." Full review
Star Service "With that said, Hilton Orlando, located at the far end of International Drive, proves a pluckier pick, with resortier guest rooms and a pool that is a smidge better.

The children's programs are extensive and very popular, so parents should be sure to book early.

"Whether you're "doing business in the area" or "hitting the parks with the family", this "lovely" resort satisfies with "modern", "upscale" quarters."
Fodor's "The Hilton is not quite as plush as its neighbor the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, but it has a load of amenities and appeals to families." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The sister resort to neighbouring Waldorf Astoria, with a location in Walt Disney World that affords views of the Magic Kingdom’s fireworks while retaining a secluded, elegant feel." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Stay in one of the many Disney-sanctioned properties with easy access to the parks, such as Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, and relax at your resort in between park visits"

Frommer's "Linked to the Waldorf Astoria by a convention hall and set in 482 mostly unbuilt acres, the hotel has rooms that lack balconies, which is a real bummer, but it’s on Disney turf, which counts for a lot" Full review

"Surrounded by Walt Disney World and boasting a big pool with a lazy river and a slide, this quintessential full-service resort makes an excellent alternative to comparable resorts on Disney property." Full review

"The crowded, 853-room Polynesian remains one of Disney's most popular Deluxe-category resorts for families." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Lush tropical gardens and waterfalls, a white sand beach, and a lagoon swimming pool with a steaming volcano and torch-lit walkways create the illusion of an island paradise."
Travel + Leisure "Commanding an enviable position on the Seven Seas Lagoon, and a short boat ride from the Magic Kingdom’s front gates, the South Seas–inflected Polynesian is a circa-1971 Disney original." Full review
Fodor's "You may not think you're in Fiji, but families with kids can have fun pretending in this South Pacific-themed resort directly across the lagoon from the Magic Kingdom." Full review
Gayot "An impressive rainforest setting and exotica ambience---even to discerning Tikiphiles."
The Telegraph8.0
"Facilities and amenities that make its South Seas style even more appealing, from the Tiki God in the lobby to the grand bungalows built over Seven Seas Lagoon." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Polynesian has been around since 1971; its great location and fun atmosphere never get old, even as newer choices crop up around it." Full review
Time Out "Want to see what $2,000 a night will get you at a Disney property? Set your search to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort—specifically, the private, eight-person, over-the-water Bungalow...." Full review
Frommer's "The longhouse-style thatched-roof complex remains one of the most transporting of the Disney resorts...a notch above for families as the monorail is steps away and rooms are on the big side" Full review
Lonely Planet "With faux-bamboo decor, a jungle motif in the lobby, and coconut-shell cups and shell necklaces in the store, you just may think you're in the South Pacific." Full review
