The hotel
Warm luxury meets modern elegance at this lakeside Resort hotel located within walking distance to Magic Kingdom Park (but you can jump on the monorail if you prefer!). Delight in that home-from home feel with studios and villas where you have space for the family, and kitchen facilities to keep you satisfied. With views that may include cypress trees, the shimmering Bay Lake, the lush courtyard or Cinderella Castle, you might find it hard to leave the room, but when you do you can enjoy enchanting pools and award-winning dining—plus the extensive offerings of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, connected by the convenient Sky Way Bridge.
