"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

"A "New Orleans theme radiates through" this "wonderful", "relaxing" "hidden gem" of a resort offering "lovely" grounds with "cobblestone streets"."
Fodor's "Ornate Big Easy–style row houses with wrought iron–clad balconies cluster around magnolia-shaded squares in this relatively quiet resort, which appeals to couples more than families." Full review
Gayot "Enjoy some Southern charm at Disney’s Port Orleans, a pleasant, moderate resort that captures the color and quaintness of the famed French Quarter."
Frommer's "The main pool at Riverside is less elaborate than French Quarter’s, although it has five pools to French Quarter’s one." Full review
Lonely Planet "Lush gardens and a jubilant Mardi Gras motif blend in an effort to create a Louisiana feel to these sister resorts." Full review
