There is a hotel or lodging choice for every taste and budget in Disney World. Lodging is classified into villas, deluxe resorts, moderate resorts, value resorts, and campgrounds. If you love the idea of staying in an exotic safari lodge in Africa, check out Kidani Lodge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You’ll find yourself situated among lush, tropical savannas, with the opportunity to see the exotic animals of the Animal Kingdom from viewing areas within the lodge. The villas have kitchens and offer multi-room units and are decorated with authentic African-inspired décor and furnishings. Guest to Disney World in Orlando like staying in a villa setting because the villas offer separate bedrooms, kitchens, and other home-like amenities. This is great for families or friends traveling in groups.

Disney offers several deluxe hotels in Orlando. Deluxe hotels include Disney’s Beach Club resort, Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Disney’s Polynesian Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and Disney’s Yacht Club Resort. Each of these deluxe hotels offers a distinct flavor and is decorated in a distinctive style. Disney’s Polynesian Resort is decorated in the lush and tropical of the South Pacific.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is a Victorian-themed hotel, and if you’re at all familiar with the world-famous Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, you have a bit of an idea what this Orlando hotel is all about. The gabled red roofs and white facades are elegant and distinctive. There are several restaurants, a world-class spa, and activities for both adults and children.

The Wilderness Lodge is yet another distinctive Disney Orlando hotel. Designed in Pacific Northwest style, this hotel evokes an image of the finest lodges at Yosemite National Park and Yellowstone National Park. Here, you’ll find Native American design and a seven-story lobby crafted from lodgepole pine. You will marvel over the lobby fireplace, which is 82 feet tall. You’ll find a similar hotel at Disney’s California Adventure at Disneyland.

These hotels only begin to scratch the surface of the hotel offerings at Disney World Orlando. Next time, we’ll describe some of the Disney Orlando hotels in other categories.
