“Interesting place to stay at Disney”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

The hotel itself is huge and sprawling. The lobby is similar to the Wilderness Lodge, with unique decorations and architecure, not to mention the occasional, mouth-watering smell of Boma Restaurant (yum). The room itself was pretty standard and in line with other deluxe resorts, except the layout of ours was a bit "off". We could not really find a suitable... More

“Best in Disney?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013 via mobile

Just returned from a 10 day trip. We spoil ourselves on holidays and was unsure of standards to expect being a Disney hotel. This hotel surpassed all our expectations - staff, rooms, view (savannah) transportation, pool, food were all faultless. Our 3 & 5 year olds loved the place and it was perfect for us as a family. We visited... More

“Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2013

Nice hotel. Kinda small rooms for the price you pay. Nicely decorated rooms. Very nice pool. We loved the bus service to the parks. It took a little while to get to magic kingdom. I liked the stay there, but I think we will not be going back there again. We love the Contemporary.

“Kidani village with savanna view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2013 via mobile

We stayed in a 1 bedroom villa with savanna view. The room was great with 2 bathrooms and full kitchen. The only complaint was that the rooms were dark. They are very nicely furnished and there was plenty of room for our family of 5. The kids loved watching the animals from our lanai.

“Not so happy with Jambo House!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2013

Just returned from a stay at Jambo house. It is a spectacular hotel but.......the checkin process was ridiculously slow! There were very few animals on the savanna to view from the patio in the room. This was a big letdown as was the reason we chose to stay here. The rooms are getting a little worn as well. Getting to... More

This is a great resort. It has excellent dining, nice pools, clean rooms, and excellent service. It has free transportation to all the theme parks of Disney World. Free wifi, and DVD rentals, which is nice for kids and adults if you just want to relax in the room. A very picturesque lobby welcomes you as you walk in the... More

“Totally awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2013 via mobile

We stayed for five nights with two kids and two adults. The room had two queen sized beds with ample space with small fridge. The kids really enjoyed the large pool with a slide. Every room has a balcony. For easy convenience stay on the third floor. That is actually the floor you enter from the street. They also have... More
