Hotel information
You won’t believe what a transformation this award-winning resort has undergone!
It still has that fantastic location, a short stroll from the vibrant Disney’s BoardWalk entertainment district; it still overlooks the tranquil, landscaped lake and gardens which lead to Disney’s amazing EPCOT, but now there are even more reasons to stay here. A $100-million renovation sees stylishly redesigned lobbies, brand-new, sophisticated guest rooms, 17 restaurants and lounges, 5 pools, and the luxurious Mandara Spa… a grown-up haven of tranquillity in which to relax after an exciting day in the theme parks!
