Walt Disney World Resort is an entertainment complex 17 miles southwest of downtown Orlando. It includes the Magic Kingdom, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
"The resort was great, with lots of things for families to do and lots of food options. The main drawback was that the room was small and the bathroom was miniscule; I couldn't even open the door all the way. The cost of food was astronomical. If you're a family on a budget, bring some snacks.2022-03-02"
"Nice, clean hotel and pool areas.2015-05-05"
"Hotel room was nice but small, and the bathroom was tiny and had hair from a previous guest. Long wait to check in at night. Nice resort, though.2015-03-26"
"We had a short but wonderful stay. The hotel, grounds, and pool were beautiful, and every staff member we dealt with was exceptional, including at the Bull and Bear restaurant. We can't say enough about the employees; they exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend staying here.2019-08-16"
"Great hotel, but the check-in clerk had an attitude.2016-07-06"
"Nice hotel, but our room wasn't ready until after 6 PM, which was inexcusable.2019-01-06"
"Close to Downtown Disney. Not a good hotel room for the price. A faulty fire alarm went off for 2 hours in the middle of the night. No apologies or explanation provided. Nice staff.2015-06-15"
"The hotel and room were clean. Good breakfast. Stay here.2022-12-29"

"An outstanding hotel. Easy access to Disney. Great room and staff. Don't hesitate to stay here.2018-02-28"
"Our room and bathroom weren't clean. Even the bathroom door was dirty. The shower dispensers were empty, and the shower didn't seem clean. I don't recommend this hotel.2022-07-23"
"Great location. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.2021-08-23"
"The hotel was noisy. Ask for an interior room.2021-11-02"
"Great hotel stay.2020-11-29"
"My room was ready even though I arrived at the hotel in the morning. Most of my stay was great, but I could hear the elevator when I was trying to sleep. A valet driver refused to move a car taking up most of the driveway, so my SuperShuttle driver was delayed in leaving for the airport. All the other hotel employees were great. Don't take the hotel shuttle; walk to Disney Springs, cross the bridge to Saratoga Springs and catch the Disney shuttle bus.2016-11-09"
"Great rates. The hotel room was perfect, and check-in was easy. Valet parking cost the same as self-parking, and the valets were courteous and helpful. I wish we could've stayed longer.2016-12-10"

"I loved this hotel from the minute I walked in. The room was lovely, with a balcony and beautiful view. The check-in clerks were friendly. Nice pool, bar, and breakfast area.2019-06-22"
"The staff was outstanding. I had a great stay, but I wasn't aware that construction was going on.2019-02-28"
"Great location and reasonable rates. The hotel was older, so there were many small annoyances and maintenance issues. The water in the bathroom sink was scalding hot, and the shower faucet was stuck. The employees were pleasant, though, and the service was good.2019-02-09"
"The 1st room smelled like mold. The staff was nice and changed my room. There were spider webs in the corner of the room, and a dead lizard on the windowsill. Don't stay at this hotel.2021-06-12"
"The motel staff was nice, but the bathroom was moldy.2017-04-16"
"You get what you pay for. The motel was OK the 1st night even though the room had ants, but in the morning the ceiling above the shower was leaking. We were moved to another room.2017-02-21"
"A wonderful hotel. The room was big, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was nice and had plenty of hot water. We loved that the climate control wasn't too noisy, and we were able to buy food at the counter. There was a guest laundry on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th floors. Fabulous free bus service to Disney attractions. Disney Springs was within walking distance. We had a wonderful vacation.2023-03-13"

"The hotel was awesome. I liked that they offered to pay for buses to theme parks.2021-08-23"
"You get what you pay for. We returned to the hotel to find that our room hadn't been serviced. I went to the desk for towels and was told rooms were only serviced every 4 days. Despite being told the room would be cleaned the next day as a courtesy, that didn't happen. Think twice about staying at this hotel.2021-11-24"
"We loved our stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and clean, and the employees were kind, friendly, and helpful. The full restaurant was nice and had delicious food, and it was extremely helpful having a store, a Disney store, and a car rental site on the premises. We loved the pool and poolside bar and grill. The free shuttles to Disney parks were a huge bonus. The only improvements I can suggest would be free wireless Internet and free parking. I highly recommend staying here.2017-04-08"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
