Walt Disney World features 18 on-site hotels and classifies eight of them as "deluxe resorts." Disney's reputation is based on quality service, and Disney's luxury hotels combine premium rooms with first-class amenities and unparalleled locations. These luxury resorts offer ultimate convenience to the Disney theme parks, with locations adjacent to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Disney's Animal Kingdom.
The Animal Kingdom Lodge brings safari life to Walt Disney World. The resort's three restaurants serve authentic African cuisine, and the hotel exudes an African safari spirit through authentic décor, like thatched ceilings and intricately carved woodwork. A 43-acre wildlife preserve sits adjacent to the hotel, which provides plenty of viewing areas to observe the 30 species of African wildlife residing on the preserve.
