"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
"The handsome lobby's low-lit tepee chandeliers, hand-carved totem pole and dramatic 80ft fireplace echo national-park lodges of America's old West." Full review

"It's value over frills at the enormous, 2,880-room Disney Pop Century." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of Disney’s four “value” resorts, this homage to pop culture is as popular with adults as children."
Rough Guide "Devoted to mammoth pop icons from each decade of the second half of the twentieth century, this is Disney’s largest hotel."
Fodor's "Giant jukeboxes, 65-foot-tall bowling pins, an oversized Big Wheel and Rubik's Cube, and other pop-culture memorabilia are scattered throughout the grounds of this value resort." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Part of the family of Disney Value Resorts at Walt Disney World, Disney’s Pop Century Resort is inspired by all things pop culture from the 1950’s through the 1990’s." Full review
Gayot "Pop culture buffs as well as kids will enjoy this trivia-infused maze of eras."
Frommer's "The largest Value resort is a fair choice, with smallish rooms—one king bed or two queens with cubbies instead of closets, one sink, and one mirror, and for dining, a heaving central food court" Full review
Lonely Planet "Each section pays homage to a different decade of the late 20th century, with massive bowling pins that extend beyond the roof and giant Play Doh." Full review
