This upscale resort welcomes many a Disney vacationer, even though business travelers constitute the bulk of its clientele. Its major claim to fame: It's the only official resort on Hotel Plaza Boulevard to offer guests Disney's Extra Magic Hour option. The lobby boasts a nautical flair and its public areas reflect a New England theme, sporting shingles, weathered-wood exteriors, and seafaring touches. The rooms have an upscale and contemporary Shaker-style decor and offer plenty of space in which you can relax and unwind. Junior Suites are the best choice for families. Rooms on the north and west sides of floors 6 though 10 offer a view of Downtown Disney (just a short walk away) and, in the distance, the Magic Kingdom fireworks. The resort offers a variety of recreational options, including a large pool area (with two pools and plenty of space to soak up the sun), and a game room for kids. Dining options are plentiful too.
